I heard the door open and close at the living room, and I immediately went over towards it.
“What happened,” I asked Thesla and Efiro as soon as they came back.
Earlier when I woke up from my nightmare, I swear I heard Tristan call out my voice in a scream.
I immediately bolted up from my bed and went out of my room to see what the commotion was about. However, due to Thesla’s insistence, Efiro and I stayed inside the house, trying to make sense of what the hell was happening outside.
Thesla said there might be a possible invasion from slave traders, so he went out by himself. Judging from the screams we heard, there must have really been some violent people who wanted to get inside the town of Camdress by force.
“A husband came with his sick wife… The woman was in bad shape, and he was frenzied…”
The moment he mentioned the word ‘husband,’ my heart started to quiver. I remembered Tristan and how he had protected me unt

DAHLIA: Was I seeing things? Was my mind simply playing a trick on me? “Tristan!” I touched the man’s face with my free hand by instinct. This must be an illusion! How can I gaze at this lovely face after seeing him die in the collapsed cave? However, as soon as my fingers came in contact with his tanned skin, I knew it wasn’t a trick! This was a miracle. “Tristan,” my eyes started to tear up. “It’s you!” I had almost forgotten he was holding my right wrist until he squeezed on it very tightly. “Yes… I’m alive, Samalah!” He was looking at me with hatred. It was only then that I remembered how my face looked like for him. “N-No, I’m not… I am… not…S-Samalah,” I said in broken sentences as I wept. I wanted to hug him fiercely. I wanted to kiss him until the end of the world comes. “You trickster, what do you mean,” Tristan said growling at me. “You’re already caught red-handed, and you’re still trying to d

TRISTAN: I looked at Kaist Lyon as he tried to stop me from slapping sense back into Samalah once more. I can’t believe what he just told me. “Don’t touch her! She is my mate,” he repeated. I wanted to laugh. I would have believed him right then and there if he didn’t tell me the same thing before I seduced Dahlia into marrying me and leaving him on the altar. “So what,” I blundered. “I know you’re just trying to rescue her, but that wouldn’t work!” I looked at Samalah, and tears were still streaming down her face, but she looked equally confused as I was. If I didn’t know her so well, I could have been tricked into thinking she was really in a pitiful state. “No! Don’t you dare hurt her again!” Just then, we heard the sounds of boots coming towards us. “What are you doing?” It was the man from last night, the one who offered me a drink after the healer took Dahlia in. He came towards Samalah’s side, who

TRISTAN:After just a few minutes of reaching the healer’s house, the old man himself came out of the front door.“Ah, you’re the husband from yesterday, and…”At the sight of Kaist, the old man made a deep bow. “Your majesty, to whom do I owe this pleasure of seeing you again?”Judging from what he had just said, the old man seemed to know Kaist personally.“Sir Morland, it’s been a long time since I saw you. The lady you just helped, she’s Lady Dahlia Hurst. You remember her, right?”“Dahlia Hurst, you mean Jude’s daughter?... You have both grown up now, and I see you’ve met our Samalah too…”Sir Morland was eyeing the way Kaist was wounding up his arm protectively around Samalah’s waist. For some unknown reason, Albus and Arthur were also growling with displeasure at this act…“We haven’t been fully acqu

DAHLIA:This is driving me crazy!I’m sure that only fated mates could distinctly recognize the scents of their destined partners. Even when I had been engaged with Kaist or exposed to a handful of men in the Capital, their scents were never really unique to my nose, not unlike that of Tristan’s…So why then can Kaist recognize my scent?“Prince Kaist, if I tell you something insane, is there a possibility you will believe it?”He only looked intently towards me. I cannot distinguish whether he was suspicious of me or not.“Go on… What is it?”I held his hand. “Kaist, it’s me… Dahlia…”We looked for each other for a really long time. I held my breath as it all happened.“Which part was the joke in there because I didn’t really get it,” he said a bit sarcastically.“Kaist, you never told anyone except me about

DAHLIA: As expected, Tristan did not leave Samalah’s side for the whole day. I came inside the room carrying a tray of dinner when he still did not come out even after it was way past the usual time to eat. Seeing that he had fallen asleep by the bedside while clutching Samalah’s hand, I was careful not to rouse him. I quietly cleared the small side table so that I could put the tray and leave. Before I could safely exit though, a hand tugged at the end of my skirts. It was Tristan. “Don’t leave.” I let out a long sigh. “I thought it was better not to wake you. You seemed tired.” “Stay right here, so you could get that tray and leave for good.” Despite feeling wronged in so many places by what he had said, I sat beside him as he requested. “Take a good look at Dahlia… Take a good look at what you did to her.” Did he just blamed me for what happened to her? “Contrary to what you think, I didn’t do anythin

TRISTAN:I thought I was seeing things when I saw a body on the ground. As I came over, I realized that this man was someone I knew.I flipped him over, and I was right. It was Sir Casior, Livia’s lover. I hastily carried him into the village straight into Sir Morland’s abode.The dragon healer immediately set himself to heal him.Vampires have really strong bodies. There were very few things that could kill them, which was why blessed artifacts – weapons that are blessed by the Moon Goddess herself and can kill vampires – were considered national treasures in the Werewolf Clan.Judging by the deep gash behind Sir Casior’s back, there’s no doubt that he was attacked with a blessed artifact.“He is out of peril now,” Sir Morland revealed as he wiped the sweat off his head after a few hours of trying to heal Sir Casior.“Thank the Goddess then,” Samalah said.I shot her

TRISTAN: I cupped my head on my palms. When I first heard the king’s confessions, I couldn’t swallow his words too. I couldn’t believe that I once wanted to hurt my own brother so badly as well as the woman I loved so much in the world. “Tristan, are you alright?...” It was Samalah. I half-thought she had already followed Kaist to comfort him, but she was still here, her eyes full of unspoken pity. “Go ahead and come after him… Your mate needs you the most right now,” I said. Samalah did well by letting me tell Kaist the whole story behind our revenge from beginning to end. She must have really fallen for him considering that she never made any hateful remarks against his father and Talandor, like she used to. “You’re right… My mate needs me.” Just then, Samalah moved beside me on the long couch. “Why did you tell Kaist the truth? I can see you have been hurt as much as Kaist to reveal it, so why?...” “I… I don’t want to contin

KAIST:Upon learning that our guest have regained consciousness, Dahlia and I went back inside Sir Morland’s abode to hear his story.I remember Sir Casior Willfrey from when I was young. He was always part of the peace talk council that met with my father.To think that he was someone very close to Livia, that he had known my sister and brother all along while I remained ignorant of their existence for the past nineteen years made my heart even sadder.When we got there, Sir Casior was being propped by Sir Morland into a semi-sitting position. He was sweating a lot. He didn’t seem to look like the haughty and elegant knight that he was from the my memory.“I greet the sun of Talandor, Prince Kaist,” he said, bowing down formally at me.“Sir Casior, I don’t know if you are already aware, but Prince Kaist is Livia’s twin brother. He is worried about her and our mother… Can you also tell them wh

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
