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
"Vivian?" Lyla called, taking a step closer towards Vivian. Her brows were furrowed in confusion, staring at the girl standing not far from her. She was supposed to be having her vows or better still married to Steve and should be on her way to his pack. So what was she doing here?Vivian turned to face Lyla and soon enough the tears in her eyes came falling down. "Lyla!" She rushed towards her, pulling her in a hug. She thought she could handle it, she thought she would be able to cope with everything but it seems, she wasn't that strong. Yes, she was stopping herself from falling in love or getting married. Yet, she was hoping she could find a man her heart would beat for and a man she could live happily with. But still, she couldn't help but be afraid. She was scared that in the end, she won't be able to have that happily ever after she dreamt of. She was afraid and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't bring herself to stop that fear. She felt like she was making a mistake
Vivian stood on her balcony, gazing at the stars. It was funny how she didn't fine it captivating like she usually did. That night wasn't hers to begin with and she was certain the rest of her days won't be that easy.She let out a frustrated sigh, taking a step back from the balcony. She was tired and at that moment she really wanted to go to her bed and fall into a deep sleep. If it was up to her, she wanted to erase this part from her memory. The guilt was killing her and she knew too well that guilt would eat her up for a long time. "You are still awake," Zara walked in, taking her seat on Vivian's bed. She held grey in her hand, caressing its fur."Mother," Vivian called, almost in a whisper. Thinking about it, she was curious to know why her mother didn't stop her when she ran off the altar. She was curious to know why her mother's eyes weren't filled with anger and why her mother hasn't started blaming her yet. "You know, I was just like you back then," said Zara, with a smal
A deafening silence took over the courtroom. Silent to the extent that a needle drop could be heard. The elders were on their seats, their eyes were void and held no emotions in them. But still, all those present there knew they were all doing a good job in holding their anger instead.Sebastian's eyes were on the door. He had been expecting the elders and he knew too well they would pay him a visit but he wasn't expecting them this soon. He hasn't even had the chance to speak with Vivian and now...he has no idea what this would lead to. In the end, the elders held more powers since he was just an Alpha, an Alpha but not a king.Zara closed her eyes, as if she was lost in thought. She bit her lips, tapping the arm of her chair with her fingers. She was scared and for the first time she had no idea of what she would do. Indeed, she had told Vivian that the elders would visit sooner or later but she wasn't expecting them to come this soon.The elders...the oldest werewolves and the mo
"You are nothing but a disgrace to the Pack and I'm sure you know that..." Felix, one of the elders said, his green eyes on Vivian. His once calm eyes were now burning with fury and it was as if setting his eyes on Vivian was just exactly what he needed to let go of his anger."Elder Felix...""You have done nothing but spoiled her and that's the reason she grew up this irresponsible!" Felix yelled, cutting Sebastian off. Because of her behavior, their authority has been questioned severally. Her birth and existence had brought nothing but shame to the entire werewolves!Hearing those words felt like a dagger, one that was slowly being pierced into her soul. Zara closed her eyes, biting her lips to stop herself from saying a single word. She couldn't defend Vivian cause doing that would only add to her current dilemma. She felt helpless and that...that was killing her.Vivian bowed her head,to hide the pain in her eyes and to also stop the tears that were threatening to fall. Her moth
"If going against the elders will stop this wedding from happening then I'm more than happy to do that...Felix,"Zara fixed her eyes on Sebastian and at that moment she couldn't help but fall in love with him once again. She knows too well, Sebastian would do anything for his daughter but never would she have thought he would go against the elders just so he could keep her safe.Vivian was overwhelmed with emotions. She lifted her head, her eyes on her father. Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder what good thing she might have done in the past to have a father like Sebastian because deep down she knows too well she doesn't deserve his love and attention. She had brought him nothing but pain, she was weak and also a... disgrace. But yet... despite everything he still loved her and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't understand why. There are times she wished he would disown her and reject her. She wanted him to send her out of his pack because she knows that's the only way he
