Chapter 15: What Ifs Zild suddenly appeared next to me, he placed his arm on my shoulder. I saw how his eyes trying to burn his shoulder. “Making sure someone belongs to me is safe.” Kylo bravely answered. He was confident only because Zild could not cross the boundary. “None in my territory belongs to anyone, Kylo.” He knew that he’d not get the favor of the situation, so he turned his back. “I know who you are, Zild. As long as you can’t cross the boundary, I know she still belongs to me.” He said and slid his hand into his pocket. He tilted his head to look at Zild once more before walking out of our sight. “What was he talking about?” “He probably read legendary stories about me. Rumors are rumors and I have no control over what might fantasies they’d add to my life to make their story fascinating.” My blood boils how unacceptable it was. “They dare to do that?” He shrugged his shoulder in response. “Yeah, they’d been so bold to disrespect me. You might want to vi
Chapter 16: Glimpse of YesterdayI suddenly felt uneasy about what he asked. It seemed a cryptic question or it was only me who was being too skeptical about things wasn’t. It took me longer to answer so he looked at me. “There would be no mistake that shouldn’t be forgiven.” Maybe it would be safe to answer that way. Anger shouldn’t be underestimated. No matter how kind, compose, and calm a person was, when anger took over it would be hard to pull yourself together. He stared at me for a while before nodding his head, I knew he was not satisfied with my answer, and I am glad he didn’t push it more. “What if it was me who did something unforgivable, will you forgive me?” I wanted to know how he would answer that. “I will,” he immediately answers. The bitter taste of guilty made me take a huge gulp, he did not even think twice. “I will forgive you without even thinking twice because I know you would not do such without a strong reason.” He added. That part was when I realize
Chapter 17: Childhood MemoriesVelle’s POV“Let her go of her!” A fuming shout snapped me from drowning in his kisses, he gently pulled away and we turned to who it was. I never thought that the hurt eyes of a man’s stare would affect me. His chest was rapidly moving up and down. “And who are you to tell me?” I agree, who was he thinking of himself? Yet my chest felts tight seeing him hurt like that. “Stop this illusion, ZILD! You will never have her!” He couldn’t step in the boundary; he stayed meters away from us. But I could see his desperation and too much restraint himself. “I have her now, what are you talking about?” Zild replied laced with a mocking tone.“She’ll remember everything in no time! And once that happens, she’d cut your head off herself. “’ Brave enough to threaten me yet not brave to set a foot in my territory, is that how bravery taught to you?” “I am just wise enough not to jump into a stupid situation again.”“You said, I can never have her, can y
Chapter 18: Everything Has Changed“I love you.”“You don’t!”“I love you with no reason, not because I have to, not because I want to, not because you are the daughter of the pack Beta. I love you because you are, Velle. I fell for who you are not because I was forced to do so.” “Liar! Liar! I know, I heard yet I kept quiet! Because that was what I suppose to do, to keep quiet and listen to all of you. I was the puppet who only do what she was told!” “I was too young when I heard your father told you that I should be your Luna. You said I was weak, and you don’t want me. The next day you met me in the garden and helped me. And after that, you never left my side.” He was too surprised to answer at once. “Surprise? Yes, I know, and I heard that. I worked hard to deserve you, I obeyed everything that was told to me, I shouldn’t say bad words, I should be proper and prim, I should be beautiful in every situation. I should be respectful. I shouldn’t cross the Alpha and all the le
Chapter 19: The Bond"Velle," I turned to who called me and saw a man, he was old enough with a white beard. The werewolves ran away and we were left alone. He was looking at me softly. His eyes turned reddish and it pinch my heart somehow. "I hate that I have the name of your weak daughter," I said and it made him blink a tear which he instantly wiped. "Velle, I'm sorry. I failed you as a father. But isn't it a good thing? The pack is free from the curse now, when you died they all woke up and the hybrid reaper saved you." I never realized that he was this selfish and desperate. "Look at me, father." I could not hide my anger."In your eyes, who am I?" "My daughter, my lovely daughter.""I am not the same perfect daughter anymore! How do you think I would forgive you when you can them over them? How will I forgive you for not taking my side? You are my father! Yet you left me at the darkest point of my life! You knew they wanted to kill me! You all planned to kill me befor
Chapter 20: Wrong RoadI continued walking like I heard nothing. I walked back to the only place I know. I couldn’t seem to leave that place for long. I felt lost, she was right. But how will I find the right road? Or there was no road for me, caused it ended when I died. “Velle?” Kylo. I knew that voice. I looked at him and I was surprised when he enveloped his arms around me. “Where were you?” “Why do you care?” He still cared like I was the same Velle. “Because you’re my mate and I love you.” He nonchalantly said. Zild’s face appeared in my head he claims my mate too. Now I knew who my real mate was. But not anymore, I don’t feel the same anymore. “No, I’m not.” “I was so scared when I can not find you. I thought I lost you again.” Those words, why do they sound sincere? He let go of me and looked into my eyes. He put the loose strands of my hair behind my ears and kissed me. I couldn’t even close my eyes while his lips were against mine. This used to be sweet and hear
Chapter 21: Reconciliation I inhaled his scent; I could not deny that I love his smell. I could feel his arms around me, and the calm swaying was comforting. I opened my eyes and met his red eyes. Those intense bloody-red eyes deceived me. ‘I miss you,’ even in dreams I could not get away from him. I looked around and it was the garden in his backyard, he continued swinging slowly. ‘You should not have returned to them.’ ‘Who are you to tell me, Zild?’‘I am your mate.’‘Lies, too many lies.’ I whispered. To myself maybe. I let him hold me close, at least in his dreams he could hold me like this. But who am I fooling? The rhythm of my heart, the calmness of my body, and the peace in my soul were enough to prove the existence of our bond. To be in his arms was my safest haven. I leaned on his chest and placed my hand on it. ‘How does it feel, Zild? How does it feel that you can not make me do what you want?’ I pushed him and stood up. He amusingly smiled and looked strai
Chapter 22: Selfish TruthIt felts like a cold bucket was splashed onto my head. “What are you saying? That’s impossible!” Kylo said and pushed me behind him. “You better leave now, Laia, or I’ll drag you out of my territory.” “We can kill her now, and here,” I suggested. I wanted to rip her and wipe her fake innocent face. S“Kylo, what is happening here, I thought we were already clear. She’s not Lavelle, your Luna was long gone! She can’t even remember you, she doesn’t recogniz-““RAARGHHH!” Kylo growled to stop her. She was surprised to see him defending me. She looked at me and back at him. “I am warning you-“ “Utter a curse and you will not leave my territory alive,” his voice sounded different than his warm and welcoming voice. I saw her flinch and her eyes turned reddish. “She will still cause pain without any curse, Kylo. The Hybrid Reaper revived her, she belongs to him eternally. I will never have her again-“ “LEAVE!” A tear fell from her eyes which she ins
Chapter 79: Epilogue“Bring him back…” I was begging her to do that. I was ready to kneel in front of her. I have no right to ask him back because I was the one who killed him. I just wanted to see him again. To hold him again. I was filled with pain and anger brought me to that situation. I was blinded by their accusation that Zild only used me. I let them taint him. I was doing things that I thought served them right for betraying me. And it was too late for me to realize that I went too far. I lost him before my eyes. “I could not bring back the dead. You wanted him to die.” I couldn’t say I did not mean it or any excuses for my actions. I was losing my hope, but I looked up to her and kneeled. “Then take my life so I can be with him.” It was desperate, I know. But I knew I would not be able to live like this. If I couldn’t have him by my side then I’d rather die. “How about the thing that you fought for? The purpose that you carry on.” I looked around and saw my peopl
Chapter 78: Clash of Hearts The three men were the Legend Vampires. The two pure ones and one half-blooded. Zild was snarling at them while Gael and Ryvan stood behind him holding their swords. They were the three princes who came from a Royal family that was supposed to be the Kings of their clans. Everyone thought they were alone, but a werewolf walked in and stood in front of Zild. He had red fur and stood with power. He growled harder than Lavelle did, and his voice was filled with power. His power was recognized by the werewolves. He was a direct descendant of the Royal Alpha. Zild stood up carrying his mate and anger was visible in his eyes. “You have no right to do that ritual anymore!” He said and Minerva walked closer. “We have no choice! She had cause—” “Leave!” She flinched when he snapped at her like that. “You can’t handle her—” “Are you saying I cannot handle my mate, Minerva?” She looked around and she knew that they could not fight against them. The werewo
Chapter 77: Execution RitualShe slowly turned to the main door with a smile. She saw Alpha Zenith with the witches with her. Soon she noticed that the whole palace was surrounded by werewolves and witches. “What a lovely visitor.”“Do not harm the child, Lavelle.” “And had guts to speak my name with her filthy mouth.” The Lavelle she was talking about was entirely different from the Lavelle she knew. She had hopes that she could do it, but she lost it and now she had to be executed. Alpha Zenith stands back and lets the army fight her. Countless spells flicker from their wands and Lavelle easily repelled at once. “It was a mistake that you stepped into my territory.” Some started to fall because of the heavy force that surrounds them. Soon the werewolves broke in through the window and attacked her. She swiftly moved to avoid them and using her hands she quickly stabbed their heart. She raised her bloody left arm with a smile. “Do not worry, this would be quick and not pa
Chapter 76: The Mad QueenShe realized that it was truly Lavelle who she hated so much. She started crying in anger and pain. “You are no different to me, Laia. Don’t tell me you have forgotten what you did to me?” “Liar! Lavelle can never do something like this! She’s weak!” The mad Queen started laughing at her and pointed to herself. “Do I look weak? Tell me, Laia, do I look WEAK?” She sobbed harder. “It doesn’t mean I appear weak, I am weak. I appear soft-hearted I am weak. I could crash you like a lemon anytime anywhere I like. And it doesn’t mean I kept letting your cruelness pass, I will let it pass forever. I did nothing even if you ruined me before that doesn’t mean I wanted you to keep going.” She raised her hand and was about to slap her, but her nails were out. She clawed her across her face, and she passed out. She looked up and raised her hand. She was smiling like everything that was happening was pleasing to her. She walked back to the palace and as she passe
Chapter 75: Emotional TortureIt hurts, I knew it hurts but I could not believe it. It was impossible. Vien died long ago. “She was reincarnated they say, and she recently remembered Zild.” She said like she could hear what I was thinking. “As I said before, Laia. You cannot fool me again.” “Do you want another proof that I met them and talked to them?” I glared at her. Only if she was on the ground, I would’ve jumped to her and torn her head off her body. “You better shut your mouth.” “Oh, give me a sec.” She vanished and returned in a few seconds. “They gave me this, ask me if they could return this to you.” I could feel my anger getting out of control within me when I saw who she was holding. “This puppy is kind of huge.” “Lefu…” “And it's heavy—ops!” She suddenly dropped her, so I jumped away from Argon to catch her, but she was fast to catch her first. “Laia! She has nothing to do with us. Let her go, she’s just a child!” “She’s a puppy, can’t you see?” She eve
Chapter 74: Almost Won‘Radian told me,’ She said. As we entered the palace it was clear that they were losing. Until I came with tied hands. Everyone stopped and my people was forced to kneel on the ground. Everyone was looking at us. I let them down again. “Is that how you really fight, Queen?” One of my men shouted. “It was nothing back when I saw you fight against King.” My eyes widen when I heard that. I fought against Zild? I hide my emotion and did not show I was confused. When did I fight him? “You are truly a disappointment,” Argon said and dropped Jane carelessly. “I wanted to play with you but you’ve killed a valuable ally, so I need to punish you.” He said and got his katana. Jane tried to stand up but he already point his katana at her. “You can’t do that,”“I can! I can, Lavelle. In fact, I can cut every one of you one by one. You may kill every werewolf here. It doesn’t matter, they are Kylo’s army. With or without them, I can take you down.” “You better n
Chapter 73: Submission to the Queen‘Look at me, Jane. I am no queen anymore or was never a queen,’ I noticed her eyes turned teary, but she held it back. ‘I don’t care if you’re weak and delusional anymore. I don’t care if you’re stupid. I wanted to stay with you, please, I’m begging you, let me stay with you. I can keep my distance, so you’d not feel unsafe. Let me fight with you, Queen Lavelle.’ Why was she begging?‘Why?’ ‘I don’t know, I was ashamed of what I have done. But I hear selfishly asking for forgiveness as if it was that easy. I was never trusted as you did. I was never believed as you did. No one ever looked at me like you did. You made me feel like it was alright to act as who I am around you. Please let me stay.’ I looked away and continued fixing my sleeve. ‘Do as you like,’ She bowed her head and stepped back before turning to leave. I did not know how to react. Forgiveness was too easy for me back then. I could not do it anymore, or not now. My head and
Chapter 72: Alpha Zenith’s SuggestionI thought I would never open my eyes again. When I gain my consciousness, found myself in the woods, there were green lively leaves above dancing in the wind. And the sky was bright blue. I sat up and everyone turned to me. “Did I sleep too much?” Jane came to me and then I felt her heavy fist on my head. “Ahw!” “Vampires don’t sleep, stupid!” Good to see she was back on track. “You did not sleep, you almost died. If I did not bump into Radian, you could’ve been gone to ashes.” “Thank you for your concern, Jane.”“How are you feeling?” asked Alpha Zenith. I smiled as she gave me a cup of blood. “Very well,” I answered. She nodded and stared at me more. I was starting to feel that she could see my soul.“Everyone is fine, I manage to get them out before they could take over, but they caught you. We failed to find your beta and gamma.” I nodded and tried not to show any emotion. “Where’s Zild?” They went silent and the atmosphere be
Chapter 71: Chained and Defeated“Red, can you find Zild?”I was about to curse him when he stared at me. ‘Trust my son,’ I remember his mother said that. He did not give him his real name, so I hope I still have him on my side. “Your majesty, I saw someone will come and save him. Given that, he must be here in the palace still.” He answered formally. “You got a good comrade here, Lavelle. Sadly, he was wise enough to side with us once he saw you’ve been defeated.” He introduced himself as my comrade. He cleared to me that he would help but not visibly my comrade. “How could you.” I stared at him, and he only had a stone expression. “I cannot believe I trusted a wizard like you,” I said and it was followed by a triumphant laugh of Kylo. As expected by Argon, he was still doubting Radian.“Bring him here, you fail, and I’ll kill you.” He said which made Kylo stop. “Come on, Argon. He’s just a boy with efficient ability. We cannot waste someone like him, he’d be a big help.
