“Do you really want to go home, Dahlia?...”
My insides were turning wild. Why was he saying my name with such a sultry voice?
“I… I… I think I have to go… now…”
I finally said it. I looked away from his mesmerizing eyes and beautifully naked body and forced myself to look at the flickering flames at my side.
“Let’s go now. Please take me back home.”
It was taking every inch of me to resist him. If I looked back in his eyes, I fear I really won’t have the strength to refuse.
“As you wish,” he replied, cold now. He swiftly transformed into a great white wolf. He growled at me.
“Get on top. I’ll take you back.”
After I have extinguished the fire with the bucket he had prepared beforehand, I nervously climbed to the white wolf’s back and clung into his fur.
“Please be caref-!”

DAHLIA: “Lady Dahlia, are you sure you’re alright?” “Umm, yeah… yes…” It was not true. My head and heart were in a daze. Ever since the white wolf had left, it felt like my heart was in excruciating pain that I cannot speak. Were all fated mate partings like this? ‘Of course, what were you thinking,’ Eve said. After speaking her first words to me earlier, she found the power of her speech so amusing that all she could do now was talk. ‘Fated mates are destined by the Moon Goddess herself. Once a wolf finds his or her fated mate, he or she becomes complete. What do you think will happen once you separate again? It’s like splitting your soul in half!’ It felt exactly like that - like my heart was splitting itself into pieces, crushing my whole being. I wanted to cry and whimper, but I could not. I was still a long way from home… It was already morning time. After finding me, Sir Raleigh, Rick, Lina, and I stopped by an inn in the next vi

DAHLIA:“Of course, Dahlia… You won’t expect me to really do that, did you? We’re not even sure you’ve found your real mate yet. What if he turned out to be some hoax?”Both Kaist and I are of the same age – nineteen years old - and we both haven’t found each other’s mate yet until today. It was during our younger years when Kaist had this ridiculous idea one day.“Dahlia, if we haven’t found our mate yet when we turn seventeen, will you just marry me?”Seventeen was the usual age of fated mate awakening for werewolves like us. We were both fifteen at that time. I remembered laughing hysterically when Kaist said this to me.“Why are you laughing that hard? Did I say something funny?”“Oh, I thought you were joking, Prince Kaist,” I said as I wiped a tear away from my eyes.“So, how about it? I don’t like to marry anyone I

DAHLIA:I didn’t know what Kaist said to my father that day when papa ordered me to sleep, but it must not be good, at least for me.As expected, Kaist’s effort to find Tristan bore no fruits. The engagement party proceeded as planned.Three days went by very quickly. I rarely slept at night time. I cried my eyes out whenever I had an opportunity to be alone.“Lady Dahlia, you don’t look good,” Lina said, frowning immensely at my thinning wrist. “Your eyes are so sallow, and you look so pale. Did you not sleep again last night?”I had no energy to talk to Lina. She continued to brush my hair in front of the mirror, preparing me for the beautification needed for the day.Everyday was the same since the day I met Tristan. There was a gaping hole inside my heart, and I felt like I was in excruciating pain just thinking that I will be wed soon to someone else.Worse, I had no way of finding him, b

DAHLIA:Lina and the other servants were preoccupied for hours, dressing me, preparing me, making me beautiful enough to be served in a platter later in front of the noble houses of Talandor…Everything made me sick - the lights, the sounds, the dresses, and most especially the compliments that made my heart sink further and further down into the bottom of despair.“Lady Dahlia, you look truly beautiful! Congratulations,” the other attendants said in awe. They were sincere compliments, but I didn’t care. Neither Lina nor I spoke a single word while they bustled around to make me pretty for the party. After several hours of letting them do their best work on me, I was finally allowed to look at myself in the mirror for the first time.Indeed, I looked lovely in a royal blue party dress. My hair was curled up, and it was adorned with crystal and sapphire stones, but my eyes looked quite empty.It was taking all

DAHLIA:There was an indescribable feeling inside of my chest. It felt like someone was looking at me deeply in a curious manner.I looked around and scanned the crowd. All eyes were on us. To be precise, all eyes were on the king and on Kaist, who was sitting to my right. No one was looking at me in particular, and yet the feeling that someone’s eyes were concentrated on me still persisted. What could this possibly mean?“Our mate,” Eva whispered to me. “I think he’s here… I can feel him.”My face colored up. Was Tristan really here, amongst the crowd? Was he here as one of the guests?That can’t be… Papa won’t make a mistake. Even Sir Raleigh had been posted as one of the guards by the gate because he was insistent in catching my mate at the very beginning. He won’t make a lapse in judgment like so…Well, that can’t happen unless he came here in a disguise&hel

DAHLIA:Before I could even speak, he scolded me harshly, “What the hell were you doing there? Did you really plan to die like that?!”I can’t believe it! Tristan was here right in front of me!I tried to say something to him, but my body was wracked in violent fits of coughs. He propped me into a sitting position and massaged my back, soothing me. I felt a tremendous amount of relief that I wanted to cry.“H-how,” I managed to finally ask him when I had gotten over my coughs.“I heard you say goodbye… I heard you say goodbye in my head just now,” he said abruptly.I can’t believe it! I was able to talk to him in my head even without trying to mind-link with him! Was that even possible?His face wore a surprised and worried look too. Perhaps he had the same questions as the ones in my mind right now…“How can I… How can I talk to you like that? Does it m

DAHLIA:“I was leaning over the lotus flowers, and it got caught and broken into pieces. I tried to recover the broken pieces, but I can’t,” I abruptly explained to Kaist as my heartbeat escalated rapidly.Before he could say something more, one of the attendants in the party approached us. “Lady Hurst, Your majesty, I am an attendant of Count Abell from Crohmwall District. He is requesting an audience from the two of you.”I had heard of the newly-installed count from my attendants earlier this week. Apparently, the original count and his family from Crohmwall District had become poor enough to sell their family title to a blossoming merchant from Linderon, an allied kingdom in the north of Talandor.This was becoming a common practice nowadays. We are slowly feeling the effects of continued rogue and vampire attack on the lands, especially in the far-flung places of the kingdom, like in the case of Crohmwall District.

DAHLIA:My own father could very well be the culprit… He must be the one who ordered the men to shoot arrows at Tristan – this was the conclusion I had come up on my own.Papa was a stern man. He would sometimes lose his temper on me and grip my arms hard, but he never did anything beyond that point… Or am I mistaken?Can it really be true? Can he order my own fated mate to be shot just so that he and the king can save face and go through with the wedding? Didn’t he care what I would feel like if I lose my mate?I gripped my chest while gliding at the hall after bolting out as I remember this. I felt a physical kind of pain seize me abruptly. I heard that when one is unfortunate enough to lose a fated mate, that person starts to perish on the inside.Even just the thought of losing Tristan, a mate I have not known for a long time, was enough to drive me crazy. I felt a great pain already started to tug so strongly at my ch

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
