Silvia tried to control her fear. She took in slow deep breaths to calm her heart down while her eyes bounced around making sure Armando and his men weren't there. She watched as they all got ready. She was standing in the corner making sure to be small and fragile so they wouldn't notice her. Her eyes were fixed on all of them like a hawk. She noticed who was carrying which sort of weapon. Silvia had a rough idea about the number of warriors in Alonso's army. They were far less as compared to the Royal Army. But Alonso's men were vicious. They weren't skilled fighters like Moon Pack warriors. Alonso's men just know how to use brute force to win. Silvia was calm as the silent deep ocean when Alonso motioned her to open a portal. She let out a deep breath before filling her lungs with air. Her eyes snapped up and she let the power buzz through her veins. "I'll open three portals in total. One outside the hall gate, one at the main entrance, and one inside the hall," She said confi
One of Alonso's men rushed inside, heaving. "My king, we couldn't find the princess and her step sisters," The guy informed and Alonso's face soured. "The f*ck you mean? Look for them! They couldn't have escaped so far!" Alonso growled as some of his men hurried out to catch the princess. Silvia stiffened when she felt Alonso's gaze on her. She was quietly standing to his right. "Come here," He said, crooking his finger. She silently stepped towards him when he commanded her to kneel and she did. Alonso backhanded her with such force that she tumbled down the small flight of stairs before gathering her bearings as her cheek throbbed and vision blurred for a brief second while her ears ring. "You sent her somewhere right?" He snarled as she slowly pulled to her feet. "I did not, my king." She said calmly. Her eyes were fixed on the ground. His mem snickered at her in menace. If she sent the princess away, they would be deprived of all the fun. "Don't you dare lie to me!" Alonso
Alonso opened his eyes and the specs of copper in them had rage consuming her. He wiped her saliva with the back of his hand. He was killing her in a million different ways in his head. His eyes were murderous. "Bitch!" He barked, slapping her with such force she fell on the floor spitting out blood. Silvia stared at the dripping blood on the floor which was hazy. She shook her head lightly, blinking several times to clear her vision. She barely registered anything when he grabbed a fist full of her hair and yanked her up to her feet. "You made a deadly mistake this time Silvia. I'll not forgive you for this betrayal. This time your punishment would be far more lethal." He gnashed, almost spitting his words out in menace. His body was shaking in rage. "Look around you. Your men are dying," Silvia croaked. Her head was tilted painfully because of his cruel grasp on her hair. Alonso looked around. She could feel rage bubbling inside him. But he only laughed out loud. Like a luna
He couldn't believe his eyes. She couldn't know anything. He was supposed to hide the truth from her because he had realized that he has feelings for her but she found out. Hunter stared at the spot from where she walked through the portal. He felt a hand on his shoulder and Luca appeared in front of him. At that moment Hunter realized he was kneeling beside his ruined car. "Hunter-" "She left," Hunter whispered in disbelief. He was still in a state of denial. His worst fear came alive. That was not possible. Luca pulled him to his feet and he turned around to find his whole family standing there staring at him. They had questions in their eyes. But the look in his mother's eyes twisted his heart. It was as if Emma knew he had hurt Silvia. They all left when Luca mind-linked them that he'll take care of Hunter. Instead of walking back into the mansion. He walked out. The clouds rumbled as Luca tried to stop him but he didn't stop. A chaos of emotions had caused havoc in
There was only one thing roaming his head. He couldn't lose her. He would die. He won't be able to live in regret and guilt. He just couldn't lose her. He wants his Silvia back. Rasmus had informed Draken and he was also reaching the palace along with his warriors. "Go faster!" He growled as Luca pushed the accelerator. He was driving at full speed. As soon as they got there all the cars stopped with a screeching noise and different places were lit on fire while the Royal guards were trying to fight off Alonso's men. Hunter stepped out of the car as he roared at his warriors and trainees and all of them charged forward. They took Alonso's men down one by one and Hunter noticed the vampires. "Where is Silvia?" He asked one of the vampires who seemed clueless about Silvia. "The witch," Hunter asked. "She's in the hall with Alonso," The vampire said and Hunter's heart constricted in dread. She was alone with Alonso. Memories of Rasmus fighting Alonso raked his head and
Silvia stumbled inside her cottage on her shaky legs. Her vision was all blurry as warm blood kept pouring out of her wounds. She tried to step further inside but her legs gave out and she fell on the wooden floor with a thud. Hitting the side of her face on the floor. She blinked slowly trying to get rid of the dizziness but it was useless. The warm blood began to form a small pool around her ear. The scent of blood was so potent. She took a silent breath through her parted lips which were trembling. So this was it. This was how she was going to die. The cold breeze caressed her bare feet as the door to the cottage was still open. She didn't realize when she lost her boots while fighting Alonso. With much difficulty, she forced her broken body to move and finally faced the ceiling. She was lying limp with her back resting on the floor, drowning in her blood. She won. She killed Alonso. She took revenge for her mother and herself. But then why does it still hurt? The pain in
Her head was pounding and her eyelids were glued together. She tried to wake up but she couldn't even move or feel her body. All she could feel was that she could hear someone in the room who was moving. There was an invisible force weighing her down. Silvia didn't bother to try. She was tired and was surrounded by darkness so she simply gave into it once again hoping for death to embrace her peacefully. But it wasn't written in her destiny. The next time she got her consciousness back she was able to open her eyes. Silvia slowly blinked trying to clear her vision and it took her some time. She finally noticed the ceiling. Her brows furrowed. She was in the other room of her cottage. She was still blinking, laying there limp when everything came back slowly and the last memory had her heart lurching to her mouth as a shiver ran down her spine. She quickly tried to get up but severe pain shot through her head and shoulder almost blinding her. Silvia inhaled sharply looking down at
Pain. It comes in many forms and was given a gazillion names. Yet for everyone, it felt the same. The physical pain was always the easiest as it goes away with time. The phrase that time heals all the wounds. Of course, it does but the physical wounds. No one mentioned the savage bleeding wounds on the soul. How do they heal? Was there any potion created to cure the wounded souls? Perhaps not. They just die slowly, writhing in silent pain and hushed agony. Fading away in despair and dousing aimlessly in heartache. Self loath. It was a big word. The word that carries a humongous weight of guilt and regret. Of course, no one ends up loathing themselves for nothing. They might have done bad things to end up in self-loathing. They might've made bad decisions which led to the suffering of someone else. Someone they began to care about but it was too late. Regret. Regret was the worst of all. Knowing fully well that things could've turned out differently. But they ended u
