"Please, Eloise. I want to know everything, everything about Ama""But..." "Please, Eloise. I'm just curious about that woman and I won't be able to go to sleep without knowing who she is, so please," she pleaded, holding Eloise's hand. "I promise that whatever you say in here would stay right here and you would be safe, so please" she added, staring into Eloise's eyes.Eloise let out a deep sigh, she could refuse and chose to leave Vivian in the dark but that would hunt her for the rest of her life. But if she does tell Vivian then she was certain that she wouldn't be spared by the Alpha."I...I can't " Eloise said softly. This was no more about her, she was certain that Alpha Styx would tell her when he felt like but for now, it was better for Vivian not to know about the secrets of the palace."Oh..." Vivian removed her hand from Eloise's hand. She walked towards the balcony, staring into space. No one was ready to tell her a thing and that was pissing her off. "My lady...""You
The second she jumped down the cliff, so many questions passed through her mind. 'Would anyone care about her?''Just like how he could never forget about that lady, would he also remember her?'She closed her eyes, waiting for her body to hit the ground and for him to lose her life. She felt this was better than having to wait for her death, she doesn't even have any idea when she would die anyway. It could be weeks or even months.Her heart skipped a beat when she recalled the way Styx's lips felt on hers. It's funny how within a day, she couldn't get him out of head or even her mind. She planned to seduce him and make him fall madly for her but it seems he already seduced her before she could.She was expecting her head to hit the ground but instead she felt her body drowning. She could have sworn she didn't see a river when she looked down earlier or could it be that she was mistaken?Her body felt weak and no matter how hard she tried to get out, she couldn't. She struggled for
Vivian slowly opened her eyes, taking in to her surroundings. For a moment, she thought she had died and was in heaven but thinking about it since she took her life she should be in hell. Her beautiful body should be burning in a very hot fire by now, right?She sat up, resting her body on a tree. She gazed through her surroundings, confused and scared. She had no idea how she ended up in the forest when she could have sworn she ended up in a river. Looking around, she couldn't see any river , instead she was surrounded by trees. Her brows furrowed in confusion, trying to remember what happened but more importantly how she ended up here. She couldn't help but find it funny that no matter how hard she tried to kill herself, she was saved one way or the other. She would die anyway, so what was the use of keeping her alive? "You are awake," a soft voice sounded beside Vivian.She looked beside her, staring at the blue haired girl beside her. For a while, she couldn't help but be smitt
"What else than death," his voice was cold with no emotions in his eyes.The second Styx said those words, a long deafening silence took over once again. The people present in the courtroom unconsciously held their breath, afraid to even take a look at their Alpha and King.The werewolves have gotten used to Styx's ruthless way of handling things. More like he changed after what happened with his mate. He became cold and ruthless and the pack lost their warm Alpha while the humans lost their king. They all thought he would go back to the way he used to be in a matter of years but...years had passed since her death and he was still so cold...and ruthless.Leo let out a frustrated sigh, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Beta Theo and Delta Karl would find Vivian as soon as possible. Still now, he couldn't think of a reason Vivian decided to leave the palace. He thought that Styx would be able to hold on to her but it wasn't even up to two days and she already grew t
"Wolves!" Vivian yelled, standing up to her feet.Hazel also stood up, with her eyes on the three wolves. She knew for a fact that they were werewolves and seeing the moon symbol on their arm, she knew immediately the werewolves were from Alpha Steve's Pack, Alpha Styx's sworn enemy.She took a step back, holding onto Vivian's hand. They must have found out that Vivian was out of the palace and Alpha Steve must have decided to make use of that opportunity to attack Aloha Styx at his weakest point. It doesn't matter if loved Vivian or not or even considered her as his weakest point but as long as Vivian was his bride then that was enough for him to attack.Vivian could hear the loud beating of heart against her ribcage. She was scared, scared that she might end up dying in the hand of these bloodthirsty wolves. This would be the first time in her life, seeing a wolf and that was scaring the shit out of her.At that particular moment, she couldn't help but regret her decision to leave t
"Vivian?" The deep voice brought Hazel out of her thoughts. She raised her head, staring at the two men in front of her. She had no idea who the man that called out to Vivian was but she knew the man standing beside him too well.Karl couldn't hide the shocked expression on his face. He ran over to Vivian and checked her pulse. She was still breathing but her breathing was a bit shallow and that made him scared. Immediately, he shifted into a silver werewolf, placed Vivian on his back, nodded at Theo and trotted over the knoll.Hazel stood up immediately, her eyes on Theo that was staring back at her. He wasn't a stranger to her, she had met him countless times for her to know that he was Alpha Styx's Beta. That was the only reason she allowed Karl to get closer to Vivian in the first place. Because she knew he wasn't there to hurt her but to save her instead. It turns out that Alpha Styx did care for Vivian, for him to have sent his second and third-in-command to look for her."We me
"Yes, from what I can see. Her illness has reached the final stage. She has approximately a month to live, Alpha Styx" 'A month to live,' that was the only word Styx was able to register in his brain. It felt like it was a dream or better still he wanted to believe it was nothing but a dream. A nightmare that he was going to wake up from but then..."With her injuries, it would be a miracle if she survives," the physician said slowly. He doesn't know the best way to break down the news to him and as a physician he had witnessed so many deaths. So all this wasn't new to him but he couldn't help but felt pity for the young girl. She was still so young and had yet to experience the world but not only was she on the verge of dying. She had an illness that would end up taking her life. Even if she did survive then it would be days...or even perhaps weeks and she would be gone."You must be mistaken?" He said. Whether he was trying to convince himself of the physician he had no idea but he
Vivian slowly opened her eyes, she looked around trying to figure out where she was.It was past midnight, and the evening was silent and eerie. She furrowed her brows in confusion, gazing around with no idea of where she was.She was in a forest, a forest that felt so familiar yet she had no idea when and how she had been here. She closed her eyes trying to recall what happened. "Wolves," she mumbled silently. She raised her gown, trying to find any wounds on her body but there was none. She could have sworn she was attacked by the wolves but she couldn't find a single scratch on her body and that was enough to make her lose her mind."Hazel!" She called, walking through the silent forest. She was alone and also...scared.Something was wrong and she could feel it deep to her bones. There was something strange about the forest and whatever that was happening to her. The pain she felt when the wolves attacked her wasn't just her imagination. She felt the pain and she knew it was real
