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
"I do,"Even though she has been telling herself countless times she doesn't, she knows too well she does. Even though she was trying to stop herself from falling hard for him, she still couldn't stop herself. She couldn't stop herself from falling in love with the silver haired man she met back at the ball and the same man that had came to ask for her hand in marriage. If it was up to her, she would get married to him without thinking twice but still...still she couldn't help but be scared. The same fear that had stopped her from getting married, came back resurfacing and she couldn't stop it.'What if he stops loving her?''What if in the end, she couldn't hold on to him?''And what if...just what if he hates her for being so weak? Would he hold on to her or choose to leave her?' "But you don't want to?" "He's married," Vivian responded, finally coming to realize. She must have forgotten but now...she couldn't possibly get married to an Alpha that already has his Luna. If she had
