Vivian stood still with her head bowed. She bit her lips to hide her nervousness, scared to face her father. Back then, she didn't think twice before asking Steve to marry him. She thought she would finally be able to get her mother off her back but now...she was regretting her decision."Is it true, Vivian?" Sebastian asked, his eyes on his daughter. He tried to read her mind but she was stopping him and that was getting him frustrated. He knows too well that she has no feelings for Steve, so why?! Why would she agree to his proposal now when she had rejected him back then."I thought it was the right thing to do, father" she responded, with her head still bowed. A day has passed since she asked Steve to marry her and a day since she last saw her mother. A day since she's been listening to the rumors that were going around the pack about her. Thinking about it now, she felt like she should have kept shut instead and controlled her emotions.A deafening silence took over and that sil
"I'm certain I'll fall in love with him in time... Father" For the first time, she had no choice but to cut her father off. She lifted her head, staring right into his eyes hoping he would allow her to leave. She knows too well she wasn't in her right senses and she knows for certain...that she was going to regret her decision. But then...she was hoping this decision would help her to forget the werewolf she met back at the ball and she was also hoping that with time she would get to like Steve...not love. She was scared of falling in love."But time...time would never be able to determine that, Vivian "he retorted. He could see the fear in her eyes and he knew that she was hiding something from him, something he was eager to know. Yes, his and Zara's marriage has been nothing but an arranged marriage but before that he had fallen deeply in love with her.He had met Zara when he had gone to hunt. She had tried to steal his prey back then and she had gotten on his nerves. He was angry b
Vivian stood on the balcony, staring at the stars. Her eyes were void of any emotions and she was trying so hard not to break down. She knew too well she made that decision out of haste and she does regret it but now...She let out a frustrated sigh and for the first time she felt hopeless. "You seem to be in a good mood," Zara teased, standing beside Vivian. "Mother..." Vivian smiled. It's been days since she last saw her mother. For a moment she felt like her mother was ignoring her even though she should be happy. She had always wanted her to get married after all."You are getting married," she stated, gazing at the moon. Her eyes were void of any emotions and it seems like she was lost in a deep thought."Father hasn't approved...""Alpha Steve came to see me this morning and he came to talk to me about your marriage..." She paused and added; "And I agreed to the marriage""Mother?!""I didn't force you this time you know," she retorted. She had told her to look for a groom and
"Styx!" Sophia yelled, barging into Styx's room. Her eyes were red and burning with fury, slowly losing control of her anger.Styx slowly opened his eyes, he stood up from the chair and turned to face Sophia. His eyes were calm and void, patiently waiting for Sophia to speak even though he already knew the reason she was here."It can't be true right?" She asked with a pleading voice. She fisted her knuckles tightly to hide the pain in her eyes. "Please, Styx" she moved closer to him, holding on to his arms. She had came this far and she wasn't ready to lose everything now. "Three days, Sophia," he said coldly. "You have three days to leave," he added, removing his arm from her grip and taking a step further away from her."Styx...""I told you, didn't I?" He cut her off, looking into her eye. "You could only be the Luna," Back then, he had only gotten married to her because he had no choice. He thought she would be the perfect Luna and of course she was the Luna he had imagined to h
Sophia walked into her room, tired, frustrated and angry. Her heart was in pain and she felt suffocated.Her eyes were calm and void. Her heart was breaking and she felt like the facade she had been putting on for a while now were beginning to fall. She fell to the ground, wrapped her arms around her body and soon enough those tears she had been trying so hard to hold, came falling. This...she never thought a day would come when Styx would finally ask her to leave. She thought she had finally been able to get control of his heart. She thought she had finally gotten his heart but she was wrong.He wanted her to leave, he wanted her to go and he was waiting for her to leave so he could replace her. He was planning to replace her.The more she cried, the more she felt like she was losing it. She was going crazy and she was slowly running mad. She changed herself, she changed who she was, she pleaded to her parents just so she could be with him. She did everything for him, now he wants
Vivian walked down the aisle with an unfathomable expression on her face. Her eyes were void and every single step she took forward was a reminder that she would be getting married to someone she could never love. She was getting married to a man that she would never be able to give her heart to. It was more like she was paying the punishment for her sins. She lifted her head, her eyes on the man that was waiting for her on the portal. She could see the happiness in his eyes and that...that hurts more than she could ever have imagined. She felt like she was playing with his feelings and emotions but the truth still remains. 'She doesn't have a choice!'"I don't know whether you will learn to love him, Vivian..." Sebastian whispered, holding his daughter's hand in his. He had gone against the elders and had given her the wedding she had always wanted. She had once told him she wanted to have weddings just like the humans and now...he was doing that for her even though he knew that sh
Vivian smiled, a faux smile she had been getting used to having on her face for a while now. She removed her gaze from Steve, facing the priest. At that moment, she was waiting for a kind of miracle even though deep down she knows too well that miracles don't exist.Steve tightened his grip on Vivian's hand. A faux smile made its way to his lips and his eyes fixed on Vivian as if she would disappear from his side if he took his eyes off her for even a second. "Do you accept him as your husband and promise...."'Sillence!'Her eyes were on the priest but still she couldn't hear a single word coming from his mouth. She could hear the loud beating of her ribcage against her heart and each seconds felt like hours. She was losing her mind, she was going crazy and also....She was waiting for someone. She had only met him once but still he was able to evoke those emotions she had hidden so perfectly. She thought running away from her emotions and getting married to Steve would save her but
"But I can never learn to love you, Steve"'I can never learn to love you,' those words repeated in his ears over and over and over again. He knew she had no feelings for him, she had rejected him countless times for him to know that but hearing it from her mouth was something he couldn't have imagined. He had loved her and waited for her. He had believed she had asked his hand in marriage just because she was ready to be with him. But it seems...she wasn't ready. She was never ready to be by his side and be his Luna. She wasn't ready to be his and he had been mistaken all this while."Vivian...we can talk about this once we are done with the vows," he smiled, a nervous smile. He took a step forward, closing the short distance between them. "There will not be a wedding, Steve. I'm sorry," she apologized. It was her fault but she would rather die than get married to the man she would never love. She thought she could love him with time but she knows too well, that's impossible. She w
