2022-02-14 09:02:20TRISTAN:
Because of the sudden inspection, we were given a pass to rush inside the city gates of Dalrus.
I looked absentmindedly at the throngs of carriages that were still being inspected as we rode towards the capital of Apricus, the vampire kingdom.
A thousand thoughts filled my mind. Why were the city guards on full alert? Why were they looking for a Shadow wolf? Somehow, I can’t help but think that all of these occurrences must be connected with the vampire invasion Samalah and I have initially plotted.
I looked back at the unexpected rogue invasion in Payn two days ago and the ambush attack on me from last time as well. I was sure that those two must have been mere coincidences. Was there someone sabotaging our plans against Count Jeteris?
Either way, Count Jeteris must be found guilty. Twenty years of walking free and not getting punished were enough for him. This time, he must pay for his crimes dearly...
As soon as we entered

DAHLIA:‘Calm your heart down, and breathe in smoothly… Don’t show your excitement. Don’t give in to your feelings,’ Eva reminded me inside our shared consciousness.I was deathly nervous from the very start. Can I really do this? Can I pretend to be intimate with Tristan and not get caught up with my own act?‘Of course you can,’ Eva said confidently. ‘I’ll help you out. Don’t worry about a thing!’Indeed, I’m glad. Eva and I are polar opposites when it comes to seduction. I don’t think I can ever keep everything away from the surface while she always can… I hope we really do succeed.As Tristan informed me of the plan further, I learned that the illegal auction will last the whole night, and the final item to be showcased would most likely be the spirit stone.“I don’t have any information on how many spirit stones they are going to show in th

DAHLIA:The auction house was very close to the inn that one just needed to walk towards it. The only problem for us was of course the guards that were scattered about with their rune detectors…I sighed as I looked at myself in the mirror. I promised myself and Livia that I will make sure I’d do my best to make this mission a success. This means I had to make my scent more pronounced than Tristan’s and to do that, I had to wear a dress I would never wear ordinarily…I looked back at the red and black gown I had donned myself in. The neckline was cut at such a low angle that it’ll be too hard to move without giving away too much skin…‘You can cover it up with something else,’ Eva said, her face lighting up in excitement. She really liked showing off some skin. I just wanted to make sure Tristan and I make it out there alive…‘Ah, of course,’ I mumbled back, remembering what she

TRISTAN:I looked at Dahlia’s face, and I knew she was deathly serious. Her words kept on repeating inside my head.“You are not my mate, and after this, we’ll have to stop becoming husband and wife too…”I couldn’t restrain my feelings anymore. I grabbed her by the arm and locked her in an embrace.“Dahlia, tell me you didn’t mean that,” I grunted.“Mean what,” she replied, feigning ignorance on what I meant.My wolves were enraged. It was full of chaotic shouts inside our head, but all I could manage to whisper were my desperate pleas.“You didn’t mean it, right?... Are you really going to leave me?”“What’s the point of staying together? You are not my mate, and I am not yours…”I didn’t like the answer she gave me before, and I certainly did not like it now.Fighting the urge to cr

DAHLIA:It was a strange night…Not only was it strange because we were out on a dangerous mission. It was also strange because no matter what I do, I seemed to be drawing unwanted attention to myself.After the attendant led us into a small passage that seemed to go on forever, we were finally shown into a grand hall where a lot of people had gathered.It was a sight to see! I’ve been acquainted to creatures from other clans before, but it was the first time I had even been in such a large gathering of beast clans where there was a need for everybody to be on his or her feet.Almost as soon as we joined the gathering, several people began looking at me.Initially, I brushed it off as a form of curiosity, but by and by, their stares were becoming more and more intense, and I was feeling a bit frightened.‘I don’t have a good feeling about this, Dahlia,’ Eve said. Even my wolf was becoming increasingly aw

DAHLIA:Four male vampires surrounded me in a semi-circle. They don’t look very welcoming at all…“Thank you,” I responded in the coldest manner that I could, “but I can perfectly take care of myself.”Internally, I was shaking in fright. It was only Eva who dared to bare her fangs to these vampires that gave me the courage to speak out to them.“Are you sure, dear? I think you’ll need someone by your side at all times… It’s dangerous for a woman in your state to go around… unescorted…”My eyebrows shot up in the air. A woman in my state – what on earth does that even mean?“What do you -?” Before I could finish asking the gentleman what he had meant to tell me exactly, another man butted into our conversation.“Lady, there you are. I had been looking everywhere for you,” he said, his words directed to me.I blinked s

DAHLIA:“Alright, sir. Please lead the way,” I replied enthusiastically that Sir Casior couldn’t help but grin.I can’t explain it, but the moment the red ruby stone was shown on stage, I felt an irresistible pull towards it. Maybe if I could see it up close, I’d understand why it seemed to call me…Sir Casior led me into a small opening on the right side of the stage where two burly-looking vampires were standing guard.Once we were near enough, Sir Casior removed his mask, and without a word, the guards opened the small wooden door behind them, and we entered with ease.I frowned. It was so dark that I couldn’t see a thing. As my eyes adjusted to the dimness of the place, however, I found that the space – a storage room - was actually bigger and wider than it seemed like from the outside.“Why is it too dark in here,” I asked Sir Casior.“To prevent thieves from gett

TRISTAN:I wanted to confirm my suspicions, so I asked Dahlly if I could leave for a few minutes…Had I known that all of these things would have happened, I wouldn’t have left her all alone to fend off by herself down there!I knew I was at fault. I shouldn’t have left Dahlia that night, especially since she had been drawing eyes towards her the moment we entered Dalrus. I should have known something bad could happen to her… I should never had conceded for her to come with me to this blasted auction in the first place.As soon as I realized that somebody from the podium above was reflecting my mother’s scent and energy, I abandoned all reasons. I made the fatal mistake of asking Dahlia to wait for me for a second so that I could explore who or what that was.My mate obliged without a thought. I quickly left her side and made my way into the stairs leading to the second floor deck.“This is a restricted

DAHLIA:The glow of the red ruby was far too stronger, far too mesmerizing than my own will power. It was calling me, beckoning me, stirring the depths of my soul, and I just had to concede…Breathing shallowly, I extended my hands until my fingers touched the glass.‘Dahlly, no,’ I heard Eva shout inside our head.In an instant, I wanted to take my hands back, but it was too late! Almost immediately, a blinding light coming from the glass surrounded me.This is it! I must be dying from the curse infused on the glass!...I don’t know how long the light consumed me. I was convinced that I had died and that when I open my eyes, I would probably be in heaven… or hell since I just attempted to rob an auctioned item.However, when I opened my eyes, all I could see was the empty glass globe in my hands. The red ruby was nowhere in sight.‘Ah, what did you do, Dahlly,’ Eva shouted as we spir

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
