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

    "Ahh!" Sophia screamed in anger. Her eyes were red and she was slowly losing her mind. She fell to the ground and soon enough tears fell profusely from her eyes.She was all alone in her room and the silence was killing her. Once again, she was all alone and that was suffocating her.She had done everything in her power to feel among, to be loved but then... She thought she could be the Luna, she was ready to be the Luna, to rule beside Styx. She was to be Luna and that dream was snatched away from her, not once but twice.Her lips curled into a sad smile, her eyes became much colder and filled with hatred. She turned her gaze to the window, staring at the full moon. She let out a dry chuckle and mumbled silently; "It seems like Vivian will have to leave too,"~~~~~~~"Vivian and Ama are sisters," Zara smiled, reminiscing about the past, her past."Sisters?" Ophelia muttered, her eyes widened in shock. She was lost, so many questions that she needed answers to. A revelation that she

    "Lady Helen," Hazel greeted with a smile on her face. She was still finding it hard to believe, it felt more like she was in a dream."Hazel, right?" She said, the smile on her face growing wider. It's been long since she had seen her son being that close to a lady and she couldn't help but expect more."Yes," she responded, trying so hard not to meet Helen's eyes. When she had been seeing Theo in the past, she had never thought of meeting his family because she was afraid that his family was going to reject her and stop him from getting married to her. she was scared they wouldn't want him to get married to another creature that wasn't a werewolf since they would want their pure bloodline to continue. But thinking about it now, if she had met his family back then. Would it be possible that things would have been different back then? "What do you think of my son?""Huh?""He's handsome right? He got his good looks from me as you can see? And surprisingly, he isn't married and isn't b

    Vivian stood on the balcony, looking down. The ball was still ongoing and that was pissing her off. Thanks to the ball and Sophia, all her plans for the evening have been completely ruined. She only had a few days left and those were not enough for her, she needed more time but time wasn't exactly on her side.She let out a sigh, biting her lips. She walked into her room, picked up her kitten in her arms, caressing its fur. For a long time now, she has been having this strange feeling. She felt like something was coming for her but she had no idea what exactly.She walked towards the mirror, checking out her reflection. Her eyes dimmed, staring back at the woman in the mirror. The corner of her lips slightly twitched as if she was unsatisfied with what she saw, walking away from the mirror. Frustrated and tired, she walked out of her room walking through the silent corridor. She saw the painting from afar, surprised, she headed towards the painting.Vivian stretched out her hand towa

    "Vivian?" Hazel called, her brows furrowed in confusion. She stood in the darkness for a while and took a step forward towards Vivian.Sacred, Vivian unconsciously held her breath. Cold shivers run down her spine and she could hear the loud beating of her heart against her ribcage. She was scared and she was so close to losing her mind."Are you okay?" Hazel asked, worried. She could feel the tense atmosphere and also...her eyes. She looked scared and something about that speaks volumes.Vivian released her breath and with a smile on her face; "I think I lost Grey and I've been trying to look for it" she lied, hoping that was enough to make Hazel believe her. When she heard Hazel call her earlier, she was afraid that she had seen everything and that had scared her. She still has so many things to do and also...before she can finally leave she needs to repay Vivian. "Oh, I'm sure....your hand!" She yelled, holding Vivian's hand. She frowned, noticing the blood dripping down her hand.

    "Please stop!" She pleaded, hoping he would listen to her. "I love you, Ama""Steve...please!""I love you...""Vivian?!" A deep yet familiar voice called snapping Vivian back to reality. She slowly opened her eyes, trying to adjust her eyes to the sudden brightness."Are you okay?" She turned to face the person beside her and she wouldn't lie she was shocked."Styx?" She muttered silently but loud for Styx to hear. She hasn't seen him for a long time and is seeing him now... She felt like it was all a dream."Are you okay, Vivian?" He asked, placing his hand on her forehead. Her body temperature had returned to normal and that was enough to satisfy him. He was scared that something happened to her and he couldn't help but be worried that maybe he had lost her."I'm..." The word she was about to say got caught up in her throat. She wanted to tell him she was fine but then she knows too well she isn't. Having him beside her once again with eyes that were filled with worry and not hatr

    "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
