It took longer than expected but they finally reached the palace. The doorman pulled open the carriage door and Styx alighted first.He stood beside the carriage, stretching out his right hand towards Ama. Ama placed her hand on his, bowed her head a little and alighted from the carriage.Not releasing her hand, Styx tightened his grip on her hand. This little gesture made Ama smile and she felt a kind of...relief.Styx smiled at her, holding her hand as they walked inside the castle. Ama's new home, a place she would be staying with Styx for as long as she lived."Welcome back, King Styx and Queen Ama," the maids greeted, with a deep bow."Queen?" Ama asked, confused. Since when did she become the queen or could it be that they were mistaken.Styx chose not to reply her and smiled instead. He tightened his grip on her. They walked through series of passages and they finally reached what looked like a church.Ama's brows furrowed in confusion, looking at the unfamiliar faces in the ro
"Yes, he was engaged to Lady Sophia," Madeline said. "But he chose you instead and he never liked Lady Sophia. He had no choice but to get married to her as the elders requested. She was his half sister and they felt she would be the perfect queen and Luna," Madeline explained to clear Ama's doubt. The last thing she wanted was to make Ama feel inferior. She had never wanted her brother to get married to Sophia. Not because she doesn't like her but because deep down she felt like Sophia was only getting married to her brother so that she could be Luna and nothing else."He was to marry his half-sister?" Ama asked, confused. For a moment, she thought she heard wrong."It's not new among members of our Pack. As long as they are not of the same mother then they could get married," said Madeline. She never felt good about that kind of marriage, she found it uncomfortably and indecent. If it was up to her, she would have loved to get rid of something like that but with the elders around, s
"What else other than to stone her to death!""That's too cruel?!" Ama whispered, her brows furrowed in confusion. Why would she be stoned to death just because she's a witch?! Why are witches treated so unfairly than the other creatures?!"She deserves that for being a witch," the red haired woman hissed. For a second, Ama wanted to turn around and leave but then... The 'witch' raised her head, meeting her eyes. She stared right into her eyes as if she was asking Ama to help her.Ama took a step forward followed by another. She reached where the witch was tied, squatted down in front of her and slowly untied the rope that was tied to her body."What are you doing?!""Leave there right now, woman " A man with a petite figure charged at Ama ready to pounce on her.Ana turned around, removing her cloak, with a sinister smile on her face; "Are you certain you want to do that?""Your...My queen!" He yelled and soon enough, everyone present fell to their knees, with their heads bowed.At
"Are you telling me now that my queen is planning with the witches to have me killed?!" Styx yelled, his eyes burning with fury. Deep down, he knows the elders didn't really care about Ama saving the witch but Instead, they were trying to use it as an excuse to bring her down and depose her as the queen. "King..." Leo tried to explain but he was immediately cut off by Styx. He should have known that there was nothing they could do to get Ama off the throne."If you have nothing else to say then you can leave the palace now.""But...""It's an order not a request...Leo"~~~~~~~Ama walked into Carina's room to check up on her. Deep down, she felt satisfied and happy that the man she loves, trusts and believes in her. "What are you doing?" Ama asked, sighting Carina on the balcony. She looked dejected and she was holding on to the railings as if she was thinking of jumping. "Don't tell me you are planning to run away?" Ama jokes, standing beside Carina and looking down the balcony.
Ama sat down in her room, all alone. Her eyes were void and there was no single emotion in them. Her mind was in chaos and she wasn't thinking straight. She was lost and she was losing it.'Styx is in trouble, Ama,' those words repeated in her head, over and over again. 'What should she do?' She kept asking herself but she couldn't find an answer. She had no idea, she was weak and she held no power. She was just a mere woman, a woman who could only satisfy him in bed and nothing else."I was hoping you would have come to your senses and leave already," said Sophia, barging into Ama's room. Ama was certain she had locked her door but it seems that wasn't enough to stop Sophia. "It's your fault he's in that position!" Sophia yelled, pulling her up and pushing her to the ground.Ama winced in pain, trying hard to fight her emotions. For the first time, she was too weak to refute Sophia cause she... she was right.Sophia squatted in front of Ama, staring right into her eyes. "I told yo
Days passed and Ama was still caught up in her guilt. She tried her best not to make Styx notice her sudden change and she was doing a good job at that. She made sure to ignore Sophia's questioning gaze and tried to act like she used to. She made sure to hide her guilt deep in her heart, that was the only way she could forget about everything and that was the only way she could stop herself from losing her mind. And that was the only way she could think of to stop herself from doing the unthinkable...kill herself.She walked through the corridor, used to the silent surrounding her. She stopped walking, noticing the painting that was placed on the wall. Curious, she walked towards the painting, staring at it.It was a painting of her and Styx. A painting he had ordered to be taken a few days after their marriage. She stretched out her hand towards the painting, caressing it. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and once again what happened in the forest flashed through her mind. Fear o
Few days passed but to Ama it still felt like yesterday. She felt like she was going to lose him but then...he held her hand at her weakest point and promised to stay by her side and he was doing just that. He didn't only accept her despite her flaws but he also accepted her illegitimate child.She walked through the garden, enjoying the breeze. She was all alone in the palace, Carina had gone for some work she had no idea off, Madeline went to a soiree and Styx had gone for a meeting while as for Sophia, she had no idea where she had disappeared too and she was too lazy to care."I'm sorry but I can't allow you to go in," a guard said, drawing Ama's attention.Curious, she walked towards the palace gate to see who he was speaking with."But I need to see her...""Lyla!" Ama called."Ama!" Lyla yelled, running past the guard. She pulled her sister into a hug, tightly hugging her. Her eyes were welled up with tears and it felt like she was close to breaking down."Lyla..." Ama whimpere
Two days laterAma slowly opened her eyes, forcing her eyes open. She sat up, gazing through the forest. She was lost and she had no idea where she was.She stood up and immediately she did, memories flashed through her eyes, memories that weren't hers but her mother's.She almost stumbled, seeing the last memories she has of her mother. Her mother had given her her powers and also... she killed them.She killed them all... She killed Samuel, Madeline and her family and also Lyla and father. Ama covered her mouth in shock, her eyes were void and she was lost. She had been living with her mother for years but never...never would she have thought her mother wasn't human. She had never seen her doing anything strange and this... everything was driving her crazy."Ama," Carina called with a broken voice. She stood not too far away from Ama. Her eyes were cold and void. "Carina," Ama took a step forward but stopped. A memory of how her mother had killed Samuel flashed across her eyes. C
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
