Ophelia and Zara stood in front of the gigantic palace gate. It took a while but they finally reached Gael and Zara couldn't hide the smile on her face.She knows too well that there was nothing she could do to save her daughter. It was too late and that was a truth that hurt and was slowly killing her. She was only here because she wanted to see her daughter even if it would only be for just once. She wanted to ask her for forgiveness and say how sorry she is for leaving her years back. She was scared of losing her back then and her fear came through cause she did lose her daughter."We are finally here, Zara," Ophelia cooed. She sacrificed a lot for her to be here and she didn't regret coming here with Zara. In the end, her daughter's life was also connected to all this.Years back, when Zara had given birth to Vivian. They had made a life-death connection between their two daughters. Something their parents had also doke for them to keep their friendship strong, a connection that c
"Vivian!" Hazel called, rushing into Vivian's room. She could feel her heart beating loudly against her ribcage and she could feel her fear slowly take control of her mind. She stood in the middle of Vivian's room, staring at the empty room with a confused expression on her face. She could have sworn she left Vivian in her room and watched her go to sleep. So where was she now? Where the hell was she?! "She isn't here," Ophelia muttered softly, scared. She felt like something was going to take place soon but what that was, was something she had no idea of. "I..." "What's going on?" Vivian asked in a weak voice, staring at the people in her room. Her eyes lingered on both Ophelia and Zara for a while, she had been waiting for them and they finally arrived. "Vivian!" Hazel yelled happily, running towards Vivian and pulling her into a hug. For a second there she was scared. She was scared that she had lost Vivian. For a second there, she felt like she had lost a part of her. She
Staring back at the reflection of the woman in the mirror, staring into those eyes was something Zara thought she would never get the chance to see. Those judgemental eyes that blamed her for everything, those eyes that hated and despised her for ruining her family. She thought she would never get to see those eyes again but then...she was wrong."Ama..." Her name rolled out of her tongue with her eyes filled with guilt."You remembered," Ama smiled, walking away from the mirror. With time, she hated the way she looked and hated seeing her reflection. She hates the way she felt, staring at her face and she hates that the face reminds her of someone she so much hated."Where's Vivian, Ama?" Ophelia asked, her eyes following Ama's every moment. Strangely enough, she felt no dangerous energy from her and it felt like she wasn't here to attack anyone but for a different reason and that was the only reason stopping her from attacking her. She was waiting for her to explain the reasons she
Styx walked through the silent corridor with no idea of where he was heading to. He had returned back to the palace with Karl and at that particular moment he was lost.Frederick's words kept playing on his mind and he still wasn't able to understand the words he said to him. He kept walking and finally reached the end of the corridor where his painting with Ama was placed. He stood in front of the painting, admiring the picture and he felt a kind of pain in his heart.He could remember vividly how happy she was when they were both taking the painting. She was happy and the emotions in her eyes...was something he would never be able to forget. Styx reached out his hand towards the painting, caressing it. How would it have been, if Ama wasn't thirsty for power? Would she still be with him now and would they have been happy with their little child?Styx was feeling different kinds of emotions, those that he himself found difficult to explain. Even though the child wasn't his, he had
Vivian stood on the balcony with her eyes closed. Her lips curved into a smile feeling the warm breeze on her body. It's disheartening this would be the last time she would feel the breeze and also...she opened her eyes, gazing at the stars and the moon. She wouldn't lie, it hurts. It hurts knowing that this would be her last day on this crazy heart and she would finally be gone. It hurts knowing that before she leaves again, she won't see love in Styx's eyes for her but hatred, one that is only directed at her. She could choose to stay back and get the happily ever after she always dreamed off. She could choose to get rid of Vivian's body but that was impossible. She no more had a choice ever since she chose Vivian's body to reincarnate through. Maybe if Vivian wasn't this sick then that could have been possible but at the moment it was impossible. It was too late and there was nothing she could do and even if there was. She couldn't possibly betray Vivian after the promises she ma
15 years ago"Where are you, Ama!" Lyla, Ama's sister, barged into Ama's room.Ama sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She still felt so sleepy but it seems she won't be having any sleep with her sister around. "I've been searching for you!" Lyla yelled dramatically, jumping on Ama's bed."As you can see, I was in my room all along," she responded, stopping herself from rolling her eyes."I can see that and where did you disappear to yesterday. You left me all alone in the palace and I was searching for you, only to find out you came back home without me!" She snapped, glaring at her sister. She couldn't believe she took her to the palace only to leave her there."Did I?" Ama said almost in a whisper but loud enough for Lyla to hear. Her lips curved into a smile, thinking about what happened the other day with a man she had grown to have feelings for. She sure as hell knows that she should feel nothing but shame for losing her virginity to a stranger who wasn't her husband. But what sho
Evening came earlier than expected, Ama stood beside her window with her kitten in her arms. She caresses her kitten's fur, thinking about the shameful thing she did a few hours ago.She wouldn't lie, she felt shameful for what she did but she couldn't blame herself. She couldn't stop thinking about Styx and that itself was driving her crazy. She knows too well she shouldn't have feelings for him since he was the king and there's a slim chance he also had feelings for her. She went ahead to sleep with a man she knows nothing about except that he's the king and a werewolf. Creatures she vowed to stay far away from but she still went ahead to sleep with one of them.Ama let out a sigh, gazing at the moon. It was something she enjoyed gazing at, she always felt warm gazing at the moon and it's been one of her favorite things to do. 'Does Styx also like staring at the moon?' she mused, curious about what he was doing at that moment. What if he had forgotten about her and she was just one
"I did clinged onto him. I slept with him and lost my virginity after all?" Ama blattered, covering her mouth in shock. Lyla's eyes widened in shock, staring at her younger sister; "You did what?!" "It was...""Oh my!" She stood up, walking around Ama's room to digest everything she just heard. She has been in love with Raphael for years and she hasn't dared to go far other than hugging and holding each other's hand. There were indeed times her desires took over and she was sure Raphael too almost gave in to his desires but they had always done a good job in ignoring their desires. She was a woman after all and if she dares to lose her virginity before marriage and people find out then she was certain she won't be spared and she would be the talk of the entire town. But her sister...she went ahead and...she did that without thinking of the circumstances?!"I couldn't control my desires!" "I know, Ama and that's the only reason I'm not bouncing on you right now or pulling your ear,
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
