"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
"King Styx?" Styx walked into the courtroom with a sinister smile on his face. His hands were placed behind his back and his steps were slow yet steady and his eyes...his eyes were cold despite the smile on his face."King Styx," Felix mumbled softly with a shocked expression on his face.Styx stood right beside Vivian, whose eyes were now on him. He could see the questions in her eyes but most importantly he could hear the loud beating of her heart.'King Styx?,' Vivian mused, staring at the face of the man that was standing too close to her. The silver haired man that had been on her mind lately and the same man that had been driving her insane. She had known too well he wasn't a mere Alpha but never... never would she have thought he would be the king. Never would she have imagined he would be the rumored king she had heard of. "Not even a bow?" Styx jokes, with a daunting smile on his face. "King Styx," Riam called. The people present in the courtroom stood up and bowed immedia
"She would be getting married to me instead," A deafening silence took over, all eyes on Styx. Seconds, minutes passed and not a single word was heard in the courtroom. "What do you mean, King Styx?" Riam asked, with a confused expression on his face. He was finding it hard to believe what he just heard. It was impossible and he was certain he must have heard wrong. He was already married, he has his Luna and unless he plans on deposing Sophia, it would be impossible. Vivian raised her head, staring right into Styx's eyes. His blue eyes staring right into hers as if he could see through her. She unconsciously held her breath, trying to stop herself from showing the pain in her eyes. For a second there, she felt like her life was being decided on and she had no say in it but still...still she felt happy?"I'm sure I made myself clear enough, didn't I?" Styx smiled, a smile that was so difficult to discern."She's my bride," Steve snapped, glaring at Styx. He was trying so hard not t
"Are you okay?" A soft voice whispers in Vivian's ear. She turned her head slightly to the side, staring at the red haired girl that was standing so close to her."Huh?"The red haired girl smiled, leaned closer using her finger to wipe the tears in her eyes. "You have tears in your eyes," she said softly, taking her seat beside her. For a second, Vivian could have sworn she had met her before but she knew too well she hadn't. Her face looked familiar, she felt familiar but still...still she finds it extremely difficult to explain where exactly she had met her."There's so much pain in your eyes, you know?" She said, staring into space. "Who are you?" Those words came out of Vivian's mouth before she could think of it. "Oh...My name is Hazel," she said with a smile."Hazel," Vivian repeated her name, trying to figure out why her name sounded so familiar."We haven't met before, have we?" Vivian asked. The more she looked into her eyes, the more she felt like she had seen her befor
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
