Styx walked into Theo's room, staring at the man that was standing at the balcony with a cigarette in his hand. He stood still, watching him place the cigarette between his lips and taking a long draw from it which made him furrow his brows in confusion."You quit smoking," he said, joining Theo on the balcony."Some habits just don't die, you know?" Theo responded, his lips curving into a sad smile.Styx stared into Theo's eyes, noticing the sadness in them. He removed his eyes, staring at the stars to hide how broken he was. For the past years now, he had been caught up in his pasts. He couldn't help but blame himself for everything that happened. It was his fault after all, he fell in love with the wrong woman who not only ruined him but also killed his family. He had been selfish and had only thought of his pain, forgetting that his friend, his best friend, was also hurt. "I'm...sorry," he apologized, fisting his knuckles tightly. Maybe after all, what he truly needed to let go
Vivian sat down in a corner of the room. From where she was sitting she could hear the music being played at the ball and the loud chatter of the guests. For a second, she wished she was down there with them. She was curious to know how the werewolves interact with each other and there was also someone she was very much eager to see.Ever since she kissed Styx in the garden, she hasn't had the chance to be that close to him again and it feels like he was ignoring her...just like he used to do.A small smile appeared in the corner of her lips. Her eyes glowing thinking about the past, a past that brought her so much pain and at the same time happiness.She stood up, straightened her nightgown and took a step forward. She stopped for a while, contemplating about what she was about to do then took another step forward followed by another. She reached the door, holding the door's knob as if she was thinking of the right thing to do. She let out a sigh, pulled the door open and stepped ou
"Sebastian isn't Vivian's father, Ophelia..."Ophelia covered her mouth in shock. She closed her eyes to stop her tears from falling. She didn't want to believe it, she was finding it hard to believe. All this while, she thought she knew everything about Zara, every single thing but it seems like she was wrong. She really didn't know so many things, there were so many things she was clueless about."What do you mean, Zara?"Zara raised her head, wiping her tears with her hand. She gazed at the moon admiring it's beauty with a sad smile on her face. "I thought leaving him would change everything, Ophelia. I thought if I decided to leave him then his family would be happy once again and my daughter would be fine. I thought if I decided to walk away from my feelings then my mother's curse wouldn't be on my daughter and then she won't have to pay for my sins. But then..." She chuckled sadly, "It turns out I was wrong, Zara. I was wrong to believe I could be happy after ruining a family's l
Vivian stood in the middle of the garden, admiring the moon even though she had no interest in it. She had plans for the evening, something she needed to carry out at that particular moment but somehow she couldn't help but feel scared. She felt like she was being watched and that a disaster would take place if she dared to step foot out of the palace at that particular evening. Something was weird and she could feel it deep in her bones.She let out a frustrated sigh, thinking about everything. She only had a week left and Styx... He hasn't been paying much more attention to her. She vowed to make him fall madly in love with her just so she could get back at him. And it's funny that thinking about it now, she was afraid of hurting him. She was afraid of leaving him broken once again. Her eyes dimmed slightly, lost in her world. She wrapped her arms around her body, to protect her from the cold. She doesn't know why but that evening was giving her a strange feeling and she was afraid
"Ahh!" Sophia screamed in anger. Her eyes were red and she was slowly losing her mind. She fell to the ground and soon enough tears fell profusely from her eyes.She was all alone in her room and the silence was killing her. Once again, she was all alone and that was suffocating her.She had done everything in her power to feel among, to be loved but then... She thought she could be the Luna, she was ready to be the Luna, to rule beside Styx. She was to be Luna and that dream was snatched away from her, not once but twice.Her lips curled into a sad smile, her eyes became much colder and filled with hatred. She turned her gaze to the window, staring at the full moon. She let out a dry chuckle and mumbled silently; "It seems like Vivian will have to leave too,"~~~~~~~"Vivian and Ama are sisters," Zara smiled, reminiscing about the past, her past."Sisters?" Ophelia muttered, her eyes widened in shock. She was lost, so many questions that she needed answers to. A revelation that she
"Lady Helen," Hazel greeted with a smile on her face. She was still finding it hard to believe, it felt more like she was in a dream."Hazel, right?" She said, the smile on her face growing wider. It's been long since she had seen her son being that close to a lady and she couldn't help but expect more."Yes," she responded, trying so hard not to meet Helen's eyes. When she had been seeing Theo in the past, she had never thought of meeting his family because she was afraid that his family was going to reject her and stop him from getting married to her. she was scared they wouldn't want him to get married to another creature that wasn't a werewolf since they would want their pure bloodline to continue. But thinking about it now, if she had met his family back then. Would it be possible that things would have been different back then? "What do you think of my son?""Huh?""He's handsome right? He got his good looks from me as you can see? And surprisingly, he isn't married and isn't b
Vivian stood on the balcony, looking down. The ball was still ongoing and that was pissing her off. Thanks to the ball and Sophia, all her plans for the evening have been completely ruined. She only had a few days left and those were not enough for her, she needed more time but time wasn't exactly on her side.She let out a sigh, biting her lips. She walked into her room, picked up her kitten in her arms, caressing its fur. For a long time now, she has been having this strange feeling. She felt like something was coming for her but she had no idea what exactly.She walked towards the mirror, checking out her reflection. Her eyes dimmed, staring back at the woman in the mirror. The corner of her lips slightly twitched as if she was unsatisfied with what she saw, walking away from the mirror. Frustrated and tired, she walked out of her room walking through the silent corridor. She saw the painting from afar, surprised, she headed towards the painting.Vivian stretched out her hand towa
"Vivian?" Hazel called, her brows furrowed in confusion. She stood in the darkness for a while and took a step forward towards Vivian.Sacred, Vivian unconsciously held her breath. Cold shivers run down her spine and she could hear the loud beating of her heart against her ribcage. She was scared and she was so close to losing her mind."Are you okay?" Hazel asked, worried. She could feel the tense atmosphere and also...her eyes. She looked scared and something about that speaks volumes.Vivian released her breath and with a smile on her face; "I think I lost Grey and I've been trying to look for it" she lied, hoping that was enough to make Hazel believe her. When she heard Hazel call her earlier, she was afraid that she had seen everything and that had scared her. She still has so many things to do and also...before she can finally leave she needs to repay Vivian. "Oh, I'm sure....your hand!" She yelled, holding Vivian's hand. She frowned, noticing the blood dripping down her hand.
