"I was indeed close with Lady Ama, close to her that I wished for nothing but her death!" Vivian's smirked, her lips curving into a soft smile; "Interesting, Lady Sophia""Interesting indeed," she smiled back, a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She fisted her knuckles to hide the anger in her eyes. She doesn't know why but there was something about Vivian she couldn't place her hand on. Something about her, was it her attitude? Or was it because she couldn't read her just like Ama?The guards bowed, ready to open the door. Vivian raised her left hand to stop them from opening the door and turned to face Sophia. There was a smile on her face, a smile that was difficult to understand."Why do you hate her so much, Lady Sophia?" She asked, trying to hide the emotion in her eyes. She had gotten this far, the last thing she wanted was for her mask to fall."She stole everything away from me just like what you are doing right now, Lady Vivian. Alpha Styx was my fiance, we were to be marr
Vivian frowned, lying on her bed and staring at the ceiling as if there was something interesting about it. She was lost in her thoughts, her eyes dimmed and for a second she felt suffocated. Sophia's words came rushing back to her like a wind, every single word. She thought she had gotten used to it already but it seems she was wrong.She closed her eyes, recalling her conversation with Sophia. It seems Sophia was someone she had to say clear off for a while. She was a poisonous venom, so she had to slowly get rid of it."What are you doing?" Hazel asked, taking her seat beside Vivian."Thinking," she responded half-heartedly with her eyes still closed. "About what?" She smiled, trying to get rid of her pain and forget all about Theo. She thought she had finally been able to get rid of her feelings for him but it seems she was wrong. Theo still has her heart and that was something she must put a stop to.A long deafening silence took over. Vivian slowly opens her eyes, sitting up w
"But why now?" Karl asked. The witches have gone low for sometimes now. So what could have happened and why would they begin their attacks now, why now?"οι μάγισσες είναι στο κυνήγι της γυναίκας. Τη νύχτα της πανσελήνου, όταν το φεγγάρι αλλάζει κόκκινο, τότε θα αρχίσει το κυνήγι" Styx responded, lost for a while recalling the message Alpha Kai has sent to him through Samuel."Huh?""The witches are on the hunt for the woman. On the night of the full moon, when the moon changes to red, that's when the hunt will begin" he translated with a grim expression on his face."Ama?""They must have believed she had returned or...""She has truly returned," Karl mumbled, his eyes now on Styx. So many questions were going on in his mind, questions that only Styx could provide answers to. But he knew too well, he would never be getting that from Styx. He had always been tight-lipped with anything regarding her. He felt just like the witches, he was waiting for her return. But then, was he waiting
"Vivian! Vivian, are you okay?" Hazel cried, trembling. She had been trying to wake Vivian for the past hour now. Even though she was still breathing, she was showing no response at all and that was scaring her. The blood stains on her body was what caught her attention when she woke up that morning. She had no idea what happened or what's wrong with her and she was scared. She knew too well that Vivian only had a few days to live and she had been trying to find a cure for her. She tried so many things but none of them seemed to be working and that was making her scared and worried.Everything that was happening to Vivian was supposed to happen to her. She should be the one to be passing through all this and not her. If Vivian had just left her there and gone her way that evening then she would be fine and all this wouldn't have happened."Please!" She pleaded almost in tears. She wished that she was going through the pain. She wished the arrow hit her instead then Vivian would have
Styx walked into Theo's room, staring at the man that was standing at the balcony with a cigarette in his hand. He stood still, watching him place the cigarette between his lips and taking a long draw from it which made him furrow his brows in confusion."You quit smoking," he said, joining Theo on the balcony."Some habits just don't die, you know?" Theo responded, his lips curving into a sad smile.Styx stared into Theo's eyes, noticing the sadness in them. He removed his eyes, staring at the stars to hide how broken he was. For the past years now, he had been caught up in his pasts. He couldn't help but blame himself for everything that happened. It was his fault after all, he fell in love with the wrong woman who not only ruined him but also killed his family. He had been selfish and had only thought of his pain, forgetting that his friend, his best friend, was also hurt. "I'm...sorry," he apologized, fisting his knuckles tightly. Maybe after all, what he truly needed to let go
Vivian sat down in a corner of the room. From where she was sitting she could hear the music being played at the ball and the loud chatter of the guests. For a second, she wished she was down there with them. She was curious to know how the werewolves interact with each other and there was also someone she was very much eager to see.Ever since she kissed Styx in the garden, she hasn't had the chance to be that close to him again and it feels like he was ignoring her...just like he used to do.A small smile appeared in the corner of her lips. Her eyes glowing thinking about the past, a past that brought her so much pain and at the same time happiness.She stood up, straightened her nightgown and took a step forward. She stopped for a while, contemplating about what she was about to do then took another step forward followed by another. She reached the door, holding the door's knob as if she was thinking of the right thing to do. She let out a sigh, pulled the door open and stepped ou
"Sebastian isn't Vivian's father, Ophelia..."Ophelia covered her mouth in shock. She closed her eyes to stop her tears from falling. She didn't want to believe it, she was finding it hard to believe. All this while, she thought she knew everything about Zara, every single thing but it seems like she was wrong. She really didn't know so many things, there were so many things she was clueless about."What do you mean, Zara?"Zara raised her head, wiping her tears with her hand. She gazed at the moon admiring it's beauty with a sad smile on her face. "I thought leaving him would change everything, Ophelia. I thought if I decided to leave him then his family would be happy once again and my daughter would be fine. I thought if I decided to walk away from my feelings then my mother's curse wouldn't be on my daughter and then she won't have to pay for my sins. But then..." She chuckled sadly, "It turns out I was wrong, Zara. I was wrong to believe I could be happy after ruining a family's l
Vivian stood in the middle of the garden, admiring the moon even though she had no interest in it. She had plans for the evening, something she needed to carry out at that particular moment but somehow she couldn't help but feel scared. She felt like she was being watched and that a disaster would take place if she dared to step foot out of the palace at that particular evening. Something was weird and she could feel it deep in her bones.She let out a frustrated sigh, thinking about everything. She only had a week left and Styx... He hasn't been paying much more attention to her. She vowed to make him fall madly in love with her just so she could get back at him. And it's funny that thinking about it now, she was afraid of hurting him. She was afraid of leaving him broken once again. Her eyes dimmed slightly, lost in her world. She wrapped her arms around her body, to protect her from the cold. She doesn't know why but that evening was giving her a strange feeling and she was afraid
Chapter 27*; This is just a conversation between Ama and Vivian in the past life. That was before Ama took over Vivian's body. Enjoy!!! ~~~~ "As of this very moment, Vivian . You are dead" said Ama with a smile on her face. "How..." "I've taken over your body, Vivian. I've taken control of your, soul, body and mind," said Ama. She never intended to get Vivian's body this way but she had no choice. Time wasn't on her side and she needed to complete her task. "You can't do that to me!" Vivian yelled. She only had three months to live... She had been trying to live with the fact that she would soon die and now... Now, she decided to snatch the remaining days she had left from her. "I already did," "Please Ama, Please!" Vivian pleaded z tears falling profusely from her eyes. She couldn't bear to leave like this, at least not this way. "Then let's make a deal then, Vivian?" Ama proposed, holding Vivian's hand in hers. "I will give tou a second chance in life. Both you and Styx
"You asked me to come here," Vivian said, finally putting the pieces together.Steve modded his head, with a huge grin on his face. He looked right into Vivian's eyes, staring deeply into her eyes, hoping he could see what was going on in that mind of hers.Vivian let out a sigh and asked; "Who killed my child, Steve?" That was the only reason she was here in the first place. She needed answers and since he had asked her to come here for an answer then she was certain she would be able to find those answers.A deafening silence toon over. seconds slowly turned into minutes and there was still not a single word from Steve's mouth. It seems like he was contemplating whether he should answer Vivian's question or not and when Vivian thought he wouldn't give her a response."This won't work, why don't we take a walk Instead?" Styx asked, his lips curved into a smile."But...""You want answers Vivian. You need those answers not me," he smiled, a smile that didn't reach his eyes. The more h
Styx and Theo walked side by side, heading to the palace's gate. Theo had instructed the pack immediately to get prepared for war and they were now on their way to Steve's Pack. Styx's eyes were bloodshed red and his eyes were cold. His steps were steady yet calm, the more he took a step forward the more he felt like he was going to miss Steve. The more he felt like Steve was going to escape from him."Alpha Styx!" Hazel called, running towards both Styx and Theo with a paper in her hand. Both Styx and Theo stopped walking, Theo turned swiftly, staring into Hazel's eyes and noticing the fear in them. He walked back, holding Hazel's hand and asked; "What's wrong, Hazel?""Vivian..." Hazel whimpered, trying to catch her breath. "Vivian has found out about her pregnancy and she has left the palace" said Hazel, with shaky hands. "What?" Theo gasped, taking a step back.Hazel slowly removed her eyes from Theo, staring at Styx's back. She noticed the way his shoulder dropped and the way
Vivian stood in the middle of her room, clutching the paper in her hand. Her eyes were void of emotions and it seemed her soul had left her. 'Shs lost her child!'Those words repeated in her head over and over again. Unconscious, she took a step back falling to the ground and soon enough tears came falling from her eyes. Lies...She had thought they had a good reason for not telling her about what happened with her. She thought there must have been a reason they hid it from her but in the end...they actually lied to her. They chose to keep the death of her child from happening, they chose to lie to her and...."Ahh!" She screamed, placing her hand on her stomach. She was losing it and she was going crazy. She picked up the letter, reading the last words once again. "Come meet me at the dark forest and I'll tell you about how your child died,"She let out a deep sigh and with shaky hands, Vivian stood up, picked up a cloak and walked out of her room. At that moment, she was only ke
Vivian stood on her balcony, gazing at the stars. For the first time, she felt tired of gazing at the stars. She stood there, thinking about what happened back in the garden and the more guilty she felt.If what Hazel told her about Sophia was right then there was no difference between both of them. Just like Sophia she has been searching for love her entire life. Yes, her parents loved her and had cared for her entire life but still...Still, she couldn't help but feel empty. She felt like there was a void in her chest, a void she had been trying so hard to fill. Later on, she thought maybe finding someone who truly loved her will fill that void but when...Even when she did find that someone that void still felt so empty. And that is why she still couldn't help but be scared of Styx's love for her. She couldn't help but be scared that despite everything, he was still going to leave her just like he had left Sophia."You should be asleep by now," said Styx, leaning against the wall, hi
"Leave right now, Vivian!" Hazel yelled, her eyes burning with fury. The more she stood there, looking into the eyes of the woman that took everything away from her, the more she felt like she was losing herself. Her wolf was getting loose but she couldn't take that risk. She still hasn't gotten her revenge yet and she couldn't afford to risk it now. At least, not for now."I won't," Vivian responded. She wouldn't leave the maid here and walk away as if nothing happened. She wouldn't leave and let Sophia have her way. And she knows too well, she wouldn't be able to bring herself to leave the maid while Sophia treats her like she's nothing.Hazel stood still, not too far from both Sophia and Vivian. She held Grey tightly in her arms, her brows furrowed in confusion. She stood there, watching both Sophia and Vivian, staring into their eyes. She had known Sophia for years now, she got married to Theo months after Sophia and Styx got married. She had witnessed how brutal Sophia could be
Two days later,"Vivian!" Hazel called.Vivian stopped walking, turning around to face Hazel. Her lips curved into a smile, tightening her grip around Grey. "I've been looking all over for you," said Hazel, trying to catch her breath. She had been looking for Vivian for hours now. She had clearly told her to stay put in her room but like always she chose not to listen to her."I felt suffocated," Vivian rolled her eyes, caressing Grey's fur. She had no idea what happened in the last two days and why Hazel and Styx had become so protective of her. She had tried several times to ask them but they both refused to give her an explanation and she had grown tired and frustrated. And even though she was still curious, she knows too well neither Styx nor Hazel would give her an explanation. "You could have told me and I would have gone with you," Styx had made it her duty to make sure Vivian was safe from any harm and even if he hadn't asked her to do so, she would have done it without batt
"She was pregnant. Queen Vivian was pregnant," the physician repeated, biting his lips out of fear. He had been there for hours and he had failed to notice what was right in front of him. He was so keen on treating her getting out of there and had failed to realize that she was pregnant all along.Silence!Styx stood still, his eyes were void and he felt like his heart was being crushed into pieces. He stood there and the memories he had thought he had completely gotten rid off came rushing back to him. He stood there, picturing the young boy that had lost everything. And the same feeling and emotions he had back then as a child, back then where he was standing and watching his entire family wiped off right in front of him came rushing back to him and it was right then and there he knew he was still caught up in the past . He has never truly been able to get over his past. Unconsciously, he took a step back. The physician's words echoing in his head over and over again. 'She was pre
Seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours and the physician still couldn't find what exactly was wrong with Vivian. He let out a frustrated sigh, using the back of his hand to wipe away the sweat that was beginning to form on his face.Vivian, her body system was different from other werewolves. If not because of her resemblance to Alpha Sebastian, they would have been made to believe that she wasn't Alpha Sebastian's biological daughter. But still...they were reasons for them to believe she wasn't his daughter."It's been hours," said Styx, his eyes on the physician. He was calm but deep inside he was burning with anger. He was losing his mind and each second he had to stay watching her felt like hell. It was just two days after their wedding and she was already going through hell and it was all because of him."I...""You must be eager to lose your life," Styx threatened, staring right into the physician's eyes. All he needed was just an assurance that she would be fine and that he
