Chapter 6: Breaking The Engagement
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
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 8: No Other Way
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
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 9: Night of The Party
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
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 10: Listless
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
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 11: Apparition
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
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 12: Count Abell
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.
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 13: New Strategy
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 Chapter 14: Growing Fear
DAHLIA:“Dahlly, don’t be insane! You can never wed someone you knew for the first time!”This was papa’s first words when he saw me that day before I left for town. I didn’t eat breakfast because I had no appetite, but he did not care at all. All he cared about was the state of my arranged marriage.“Papa, would it be better then if I married someone I knew but did not love? Even you had loved my mother wholeheartedly, right? You were fated mates! How can I not do the same?”My father’s angry face contorted into a pained expression. Every time I mentioned my mother in our conversations, it would always become like this.“The love of a fated mate is not all there is in this world! How can you think like a child in times like this, Dahlia?”I felt hurt. I was nineteen – an adult – but still very much like a child too… his own child! Did he not care about me at all?
