Chapter 30: Hatred and Affection Did I hear it right? Of course, we were one, what was to be a surprise? I blew up unbelievably and walked inside. I went to the room that used to be mine. He wanted me to stay then I’d make his life a living hell.I went there to change. I took off my dress and wore the black dress that I found in the closet. I took off the pins from my hair and let it down freely. I was trapped in here forever with him. I hope he wasn’t expecting me to live with him happily. I jumped into my bed and lay in there. I could act dead since I already died anyway. I closed my eyes and thought about how I do it when I lost consciousness in the woods. I knew I did not die; I was just sleeping. Without blood, I would be able to sleep. But now I could not sleep yet, I opened my eyes and stare at the ceiling. This unpainted place looked like a graveyard. Just gray and black, the only place that has no color. In the moment of silence, my mind was playing with me. I thoug
Chapter 31: His Deal“We? Are you sure we asked that? As far as I know, I did not want to marry you at that time. I was just scared you’d be angry.” It may be hurtful but that was the truth. I was eager to please him thinking he was my mate, but it was a lie. “I warned you it was irrevocable, and you agreed, the moon goddess would not grant that without your desire to seal your fate with me.” He simply said. He drank the blood from his goblet and looked at me. “I did that not because I wanted to punish you, I was afraid.” Afraid of what? He smiled but I could see his eyes were telling me otherwise. “Afraid of what?” I was impatient when he did not continue right away. “You might run away and leave me here alone.” He stared at me, expecting any reaction but I hid my surprise and disbelief. He was trying to manipulate me again using my emotion. He could not take advantage of me by feeding me false information now he was trying to win me with those sorrowful words to have my sym
Chapter 32: His Lullaby I forced myself not to smile when he offered that. No one ever sings for me. “Okay,” “In the dark full of madness,In this cage full of sadness, Is the only place I could be in peace, I wish, I could leave your nightmares and be in your fantasies.I could ease your hatred and be your happiness,I did not mean to be the villain of your story,But if making your stay means being your enemy, I will bear at least you’re with me. I won’t be sorry,I won’t be sorry.Baby, to make you happy means making me lonely. I want to keep you with me but seeing you lonelyIs hurting me. So, I must set you free.I hope you’d finally be happy.” I tried hard not to cry; he did have a good voice. I could now hear his plea. His broken soul’s plea. Why did I feel like he wanted me to stay not because to punish me? He hugged me tighter like he did not want to let me go. My eyes started watering, so I choose to shut them harshly.“Will you be happy out there? Will
Chapter 33: Wounds of His PastI stood up and I saw pain lingering on his face. “What is this?” Pure anger was displayed on his face, and I could not find the right word to explain myself. A sudden question came across my mind. Why did I accept his deal? “Kylo…” “What are you doing in there? Why are you with him instead of staying with me?” “Kylo I—”“I woke expecting to see you, but I only learned that you’re here and you haven’t come home for a few days.” His composure was gone, he looked so done. “Let me explain,”“Let’s go home now!” He demanded but I could not leave until the deal was over. “I can’t, I…I,” I could not bring myself to say what I wanted to say. I feel like I need to defend myself and say something I should listen to his anger even if it's lies. Why did it hard to tell him the truth? Maybe because I knew he would not accept it. “I can’t for a week, it’s a deal I—”“Liar! That’s not what I saw, Lavelle! You were sitting on his lap.” Why was I sittin
Chapter 34: Crybaby I smiled and nodded. “Was it weird? That is what my mother used to tell me, I saw her do everything for my father. My mother was very loving and sweet and never shouted in the house. She takes care of him, serves him, and always listens to what he says. That's what women should do.” He stood behind me and asked, “Do you want that? If being like that makes them like you, do you like you?” I looked at myself, do I like myself?“If they wanted a flower but can’t accept its thorns, they don’t deserve that flower.” “Are saying it’s wrong?” He held my waist and put my hands on his shoulder. He kissed my forehead and I looked at us in the mirror. He asked, “Who cares to what and wrong?” I’m afraid to be wrong.“They lied when they said you can’t make mistake, they lied when they said life is about serving someone. You are a queen yourself who did not need to bow before anyone. The mistake is what build us, the lessons it carved every failure. Let them hate you,
Chapter 35: Farewell He asked, “Promise?”I nodded with a confident smile. I still did not know why he could let me go, why was the definition of love in his perspective different. I knew he did want to keep me but he let me go. “That’s good to know.” We eat in peace, and I talked about how I prepared dinner. He would constantly look at me and showed interest in what I was talking about. I knew deep in my heart, this man in front of me taught me a lot. In a short time, I learned things I did not at home. “Did you know that your blood smells good compared to any blood?” I suddenly said. “No,” he continued eating like he heard nothing but glanced at me. “Well now you know, I can stop drinking blood, right?” I wanted to change my diet.“Why do you think that’s possible?” I blinked and thought deeply. “Because…I am still a werewolf, I still have my wolf in me. That’s why I thought I could still live on a werewolf diet.” He nodded and wiped his lips. “You can, but you’d be
Chapter 36: Figuring Things AloneI touched my face, and I was wet, ‘why am I crying?’ I turned my back and started walking out of his territory. ‘I’m on my own now.’ And I should know what I want to do. Maybe the moon goddess was trying to prove to me that I was not meant to be a servant. That dreaming to be a leashed dog was up to no good. I kept falling into the wrong situation, which I would always regret because I wasn’t doing what I want. Then what do I want? What am I? I started running to an endless path. I did not know where to go; all I know was that I could be anywhere I want. I could survive being a rouge. Determine to make a change in my life. I should start doing things that I would never forget. I must meet Kylo, I stopped and turned back tracing the way to his pack. I slowed down when I heard them in commotion. “She killed my husband, Alpha. I can never forgive her!” Before I could hide, they saw me. “Lavelle,” I heard Kylo whisper when he saw me. Women s
Chapter 37: New Home I opened my eyes, and the wooded ceiling greeted me. It was a pointed cone-like ceiling, and that was when I realized I was in an attic. I looked down at the blanket, it was a white thin sheet and I was in a comfortable bed. “Good to know you are awake.” And all of a sudden she was already standing beside the bed. “What am I doing here?” “First, you haven’t answered how you found my house, second you’re not safe out there and third I need a hand and I think you can help me.” She walked slowly yet she talked fast with that groggy voice. “And why would I do that?” “Because I am offering you a home, and I am kind enough so you should not decline.” A new home was not a bad idea. The only bad thing was she tried to poison me. “Meet me downstairs, I prepared breakfast for you.” And she vanished in the air. I went down and found her at her small dining table. “Now tell me why you are here and where you are from.” She demanded. “I came from the
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.
