2022-03-16 09:00:31TRISTAN:
An intense amount of pain took over me as I looked at Dahlia’s retreating form in the dead of the night.
I had no strength to come to her again. After what I just heard, I knew it was over between us… absolutely over…
Now I understood why she said I must have hated her… She was the life that was exchanged for my mother and had caused my poor Livia her freedom from Count Jeteris’ clutches.
I howled in anguish. How can the Moon Goddess ever bring such a fate into us?
“Come out,” I called on the bushes. “I can smell your scent even from a mile away.”
Samalah emerged from the bushes in her human form, her eyes glistening with tears.
“I told you, didn’t I? Dahlia Hurst was our enemy, but you didn’t listen…”
“Did you know it? Did you know the truth even before she said it,” I spat.
Samalah nodded. “I had a strong hunch since she had powers. She didn’t come from a magical family, and she was rumored to have be

KAIST: The arrow came very fast. I had no time to avoid it. “Kaist!” I was thrown violently into one side so swiftly that I still couldn’t believe it all happened! My father – he pushed me fiercely into one side and shoved me away into safety! “No,” Ignis grumbled. I looked just in time to see my father’s wolf got hit by an arrow where his heart was located. “No,” I cried yet again. My body was hurt in the fall. I limped into my side half crawling just to get to his body, which stumbled into the ground like a piece of rag. “Father… Father, hang on!” His body had gone back into his human form. This was a bad sign! “Kaist, son,” he mumbled. “Save your breath. Let’s get out of here first!” Ignis turned himself into a half wolf. We clutched my father’s figure and climbed the stony wall that separated us from our freedom. It was a steep climb. I could hear the arrows swoosh past me as I

KAIST: It took us until the wee hours of the morning for Dahlia and I to complete our stories. I was able to tell Dahlia who I was and what had happened so far in a brief and concise manner, as well as what I have last known of her whereabouts. “So what you’re saying is that we were betrothed once, but I ran away and married Count Abell, right?” There was an incredulous look in her eyes. I nodded. “So, why didn’t you spat on me then? Don’t you hate me for it?...” I looked back at Dahlia for a long time. “I don’t hate you. You just followed your heart back then. We’ve made up after the failed wedding… At least now it seemed you have become more aware of your husband’s schemes.” She eyed me sideways. Did she buy my excuse? Despite the raging emotions I still carry in my heart for Dahlia, I couldn’t tell her the truth. I couldn’t hate her. Even if she tears my heart into shreds, I wouldn’t be able to hate my fated

DAHLIA: My memories weren’t fully back yet, but I get it. I get that I was close to this boy before me… Even the way we talked to each other despite not knowing anything about him due to my amnesia felt very comforting. In fact, it was so comforting that I lowered my guard until it was too late. He had already started to kiss me… It wasn’t even a friendly kiss. It was similar to the kisses Naskan, I mean Tristan, and I had shared before. “Wait, w-what are you doing, Kaist,” I asked exasperatedly as I drew away after that kiss. “If he doesn’t want your child, I do. I would love him, Dahlia… I would love him as much as I had loved you all these years,” he confessed. “Kaist… Just what exactly are you proposing?” “Leave your husband, Dahlly… You, me, and our baby – let’s build a life together.” Moon Goddess, just what kinds of tricks were you up to this time? It wasn’t even a day after I had left my husband, but now

DAHLIA:“How about we kill the old man with you, Prince Kaist? After all if we kill both of you, wouldn’t that just speed up what we were aiming for?”My heart was beating wildly in my chest. We were caught in a trap, and the saddest thing about it is if it wasn’t for me, Kaist and the king wouldn’t be in this position…“Samalah, what do you mean? Do ou want to make yourself an enemy of Talandor,” I breathed out.She laughed exasperatedly. “I was never a part of Talandor. They drove me out, so there’s no point in being sentimental. This is just sweet payback for what they did to me and my mother…”“So what is it going to be,” Samalah said malevolently at me, “Are you coming with us, or are we going to force you?”“Neither.” Just as I spoke my last words, I aimed for the roof at one side of the cave and set it on fire.Smoke qu

DAHLIA: It has been three days since all of those tragedies had happened… Three days, and yet everything still felt very hazy. How did it all turn into this? I clasped my hand around my neck. Yes, the silver collar was still there… It means I did not dream of that day. They really did happen, right? Three days ago I lost both my husband and my baby. I put my hands against my belly. No, no, that’s not right… I didn’t lose my baby… He is still here… Or is he?... Just then, someone tugged at the chain connected to the collar around my neck. “She-wolf, we need to move quickly.” I looked at the man before me. Have I seen him before? I don’t recognize his face… It didn’t matter though. No matter who they were, they only ever wanted to hear one thing from me. “Yes, master…” That’s what they wanted – my complete and total surrender. As the sun started to loom fiercely against the morning sky, I s

DAHLIA:“We will stop here tonight,” Lord Irvan said when we reached a clearing in the woods.I slumped into the soft ground, not caring whether it was muddy. I was exhausted to the brim, having had to walk all day.I remembered the times Tristan had carried me on his back. I hadn’t truly appreciated that gesture from him before, but it was really an act of love and kindness that I missed now that he was gone.I wish he was still here. Even if he hated me and our baby, the sound of his voice still made me feel safe and comfortable.Now there was only the barren feeling in my chest, the memories we shared together, and the image of his fading mate mark that was left for me to remember him by.It hasn’t been more than ten minutes when I collapsed on the ground when someone tugged at the silver chain around my neck once more.“Get up. We’re taking a bath.”I met Samalah’s cold stares

DAHLIA: “Sister, if you had truly loved Tristan, please help me... Help me and the baby escape.” If desperation was power, then I would have been the most powerful wolf at that moment to have clung to my enemy and beg her for help! I knew Samalah had staged this revenge. There might be no way she would help me. It was a slim chance that she would, and I am clinging on that slim chance based on her emotions. I loved Tristan too. I loved him will everything I got, and I could feel that Samalah held the same intensity of feelings I had for my mate. She gave me a sharp and anguished look. Samalah turned her back from me again, but I held her hand. “Please… That spirit stone they speak of, it chose me. I wasn’t forced to take it in the auction house. If they hand me back to their leader, they would kill me and the baby.” “How dare you ask me for this? Do you know how sick I feel when I think that you had a love child with Tristan?”

DAHLIA: “Didn’t you ask me for help earlier? I’m going to give you what you want now,” Samalah said, shooting me a fierce look. “In exchange for this, however, I want you to give me your face and your entire body, Dahlia…” It was an absurd proposition. I didn’t quite understand what she wanted from me exactly… Does she want me to sell me? Is she asking for a body part, like a heart or a liver? Before I could speak, somebody came at the mouth of the cave we were staying in. It was the other rogue who stood as our guard earlier. He looked at me and Samalah and the dead rogue on the floor. “What did you do,” he said in wild frenzy. “Stefan, he frightened me… He went here unannounced, so I acted out of impulse,” Samalah replied as she hooked her arms around the rogue before us. Despite experiencing firsthand how Samalah could act deceitfully in front of other people, I was still positively awestruck to see her get moved to

Revenge of The Shadow Heir Author's Notes
Hello! Thank you so much for coming to this journey with me in Revenge of The Shadow Heir! I started this story with a completely different story arc in mind, and I can't believe I've already reached the end of Dahlia and Tristan's love story. I dedicate this novel to the person who inspired me to take on writing again (and write romance stories, which wasn't really the genre I honestly saw myself writing).Here's to more meaningful memories together, sweetie! :). And to all those who have ever dreamed of being a writer or of being anything else - chase that dream! You were made to lust after it for a purpose. Glory to God always! I might take some hiatus after this story, but I assure you this won't be the last I will write. Thanks a lot again, dearests, and happy reading! - Ellie Love -
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 181: End Of Our Story
DAHLIA:“Dahlia, I have confessed everything to you before. I don’t know how much you remember of it after your accident though, so I am sorry for hurting you again,” Tristan began.“It was true. I casted a spell that was why the mate mark appeared in your body after our first night together. I was sure you were not my mate, and I was not yours. I casted a different spell on myself a few years ago to suppress finding my own mate, so I was confident when I approached you.”“However, the more I stayed beside you, the surer I had become that you were my destined mate… There wasn’t any day that I didn’t regret doing that…”Tears flowed from both our eyes. I knew it from my memory. We did have this conversation before, but it was still heartbreaking to hear Tristan’s side of the story.“When you had switched appearances with Samalah, I was foolish enough not to recognize you
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 180: Awakened
DAHLIA: I was in a dark and suffocating place that I can’t even see my own hands and feet. I tried standing still, but nothing was happening, so I decided to move around. I started calling to my wolf. ‘Eva!’ Again, I shouted, ‘Eva!’ There was no answer. I was running wildly, or at least I thought I was. No one can say that this was all happening in my head. Goddess, I couldn’t even see if my body was still intact! I tried to touch my cheek just so I could verify I am still alive, still seeing, still feeling. The last thing I could honestly remember was King Helion Cosco drinking the blood off my neck. I felt around my neck. There weren’t any wounds of any form of punctures. Am I still existing in the real world, or is this all just a dying person’s dream? Just then, I heard an anguished voice. “Dahlia!” It was the voice I had longed to hear for a long time. “Tristan!” I started ru
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 179: Stay Away For Good
TRISTAN: Irvan, that scoundrel that caused Samalah to get into an accident and had caused Dahlia’s agony, was a conjurer! Perhaps that was why they had left the dead bodies here instead of burying or burning them. It wasn’t just for show after all. The animated bodies started to close in on us. I thought it would be easy to defeat them since they were dead. However, they have the faces of people whome we had once seen or knew… It was a bit fortunate that most of them were just people whom I have casually met at Talandor, but I could only imagine that this battle must be too hard for Kaist. As we tried to knock out the dead bodies, the dragon bones swoop down on us, trying to pick on the flesh on our back. Even without a rider, the dragon bones were agile. This was really a dangerous thing. I just finished hurling a corpse somewhere far away, when suddenly, I looked up to see a dragon bone aiming to pluck my eyes away. I
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 178: Beloved
TRISTAN: I galloped towards the edge of the plain leading to the Great Temple where I could smell my Dahlia’s scent. In the past, I had loved this walk from the forest towards the temple where my father would regularly burn an offering to the Moon Goddess Selene. Now, this same path was packed with vampires, attacking me from left and right. It was a hard fight. I felt like I was a bug trying to battle out hordes of ants to get to the other side. The more I stayed here, the more endangered Dahlia could become. Suddenly, I heard a voice roar. “Get down!” My instincts kicked in, and I followed it. As soon as I ducked down, bolts of fire started to rain down on my path, burning the Blasted Ones that crowded my way. I looked back sharply to discover a non-familiar wolf. It was golden brown with a stone in its head that shone like the midday sun. So this was how Kaist’s Shadow Rune wolf looked like. He must have already acce
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 177: Ritual By The Temple
DAHLIA: I rested my hope that if Count Jeteris himself or the people from Talandor could see me, they’d try to help me out. After all, I was someone they knew, someone who interacted with them, and someone they had sworn to protect as knights of Talandor. Surely, they wouldn’t let anyone from the Vampire Clan kill a she-wolf they had once known... But all those hopes were crushed when I saw what awaited us at the temple. The outer courts of the temple were nothing but mere rubbles of stones and sands now, but one could still gain the impression that it was a grand structure once. I had seen the tumbled-down appearance of the temple in a distance as King Helion dragged me to it, but as we entered its vicinity, I was shocked beyond belief. All around, corpses of werewolves lay lifelessly on the ground. “W-What did you do,” I asked in horror. “The foolish count wanted my help, but he didn’t agree with taking you as my queen, so…”
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 176: Plans and Intentions
TRISTAN: “Brother, look out!” I swerved to the right by mistake, which ended up being good as I had dodged a blow against my skull. Livia and I had been fighting against the Blasted Ones for hours now, but they do not seem to be depleting. How in the world can the Apricus King call in this many of his men? Worse of all, Livia’s state was getting worse and worse as time went by… I hate to admit it, but I don’t think I could last fighting against them for a long time too. I struggled to get on my feet, thinking of how wretched I was to have sent the one person I loved the most towards her death. Memories of when I first saw Dahlia flashed by my head as I attacked one vampire after another. Lady Dahlia Hurst – the gentle rose of the kingdom – the person people looked up to and envied… My first thought was that such a person would be nothing more than a spoiled brat. She had been under the spotlight since she was yo
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 175: Boulder
KAIST:It was a call to help Count Abell. Wolves from the White Fang Pack immediately tore their shirts and started transforming into their wolf form.“Prince Kaist, do you mean to say Tristan and Samalah… I mean Dahlia are in danger,” Thesla hurriedly asked.I nodded. “Yes. We will be going now. Get the women, children, elderly, and the sick inside the town hall. Bar the doors, and don’t let anyone inside the village. I will return here for the lady when everything is over,” I told the villagers.There was a murmur around the villagers.“Prince Kaist, I couldn’t speak for everyone, but I will come with you. Dahlia has become a friend and a family to Efiro and I. I don’t want to just sit and do nothing when I know she’s in danger!”“Very well.” I turned to the crowd. “Everyone who wishes to join us may come. As for the rest of you, please secure the village.
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 174: Rally Behind The Alpha
TRISTAN: “No, take her back! Give Dahlia back to us,” I shouted. The vampires around us poised themselves for an attack and smiled. They could sense the blood palpitating in my veins as I tensed up. They were getting excited on the prospect of violence as their true nature dictates. “Finders keepers” was all I heard from the damned king of the vampires. Maybe this was all a lie. Maybe the king of the Blasted Ones was toying with my sanity… How did I end up in this? Why did I give Dahlia to them? It felt like I was in a sort of reverie. Everything felt hazy. It was as if things were coming at me in slow motion. I could only watch as Dahlia’s golden brown hair billowed in the wind. King Helion towered over her. He clutched her by the wrist, and when she refused to tear her eyes away from me, he grappled at her shoulders and took her away more forcefully, twisting her face away from mine. I could only watch as trails of te
