Vivian walked through the silent corridor with no idea of where she was heading too. She was still finding it strange how she finds the palace so familiar and she was certain she has never been here before. She was so sure she had never walked through the walls of the palace before yet it felt so familiar and kind of...warm. She walked back to the same familiar corridor. She stood in front of the wall, staring at it as if that would give answers to the questions on her mind but it didn't. And the truth was that she would never be able to get answers to those questions.She reached out her hand to the wall, gently stroking it. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She felt sad and also...lonely.The more she stood there, the easier it was for her to forget about what happened between her and Styx. She was still angry that she had lost her virginity that easily, she had saved it her entire life for her to lose it that easily and it was getting on her nerves. 'Why?!' she mused
"That's what I'm scared of...Hazel!" Hazel closed her eyes for a while. Just like Vivian, she was scared back then. She was scared that Theo would stop loving her or have her replaced. She had gotten married to him, doubting his love for her but now... Now, it was different. Now, she trusted him more than her life and she knows that he would never replace her for anyone else. It took an entire year before she could learn to trust him but she did. She did and she has never once regretted ever trusting him. He loves her and she could see it in his eyes. And now, she was only hoping that Vivian would learn to get rid of her doubts and finally see Styx's love for her. She took a step forward, holding Vivian's hand in hers. She gently stroked her hand, staring right into Vivian's eyes. "Time...time would tell, Vivian. Time would determine everything, so still then. I want you to trust me instead,"~~~~~'Silence!'It's been thirty minutes since Styx's arrival in the courtroom and in the
"Revenge, I want revenge, Sophia"They stared right into each other's eyes for a while, Sophia's lips curving into a sly smile. "You think I would be able to help you with that?""Unless your love for Styx isn't as strong as I imagined," Steve responded. He was ready to do anything to make Vivian his. She was his to begin with and he would have been the one getting married to her but Styx had snatched her from him and this time he wouldn't take a step back. He was going to strike back and get what was meant to be his but for that to happen... He needs Sophia's help. Even though she had been deposed by Styx, she was still the closest to him. She knows everything there is to know about Styx. "Ahh!" Sophia chuckled, tightening her grip on the cloak. 'Her love wasn't strong enough?'She had gone on her knees, pleading to her father to allow her to marry him. Styx was her father's sworn enemy, yet she had fallen in love with him and because of her. Because of her, her father had gone ahe
Hazel stood at the balcony, gazing at the stars. She brushed her hair with her fingers, annoyed and frustrated. In the end, she couldn't think of a way to help Vivian and Styx and that was pissing her off. She let out a frustrated, so lost in thoughts and had failed to notice the man that was standing behind her. Suddenly, her lips curved into a smile, biting her lips happily. She jumped up, turned around and finally came face to face with the man she thought she won't be meeting for the next few days."You look happy," said Theo, taking a step forward towards Hazel."Then do you want to see a frown on my face instead," Hazel rolled her eyes annoyingly. She was still angry with Theo for leaving her all alone in a place she had no idea of. He has always been choosing Styx over her and thanks to that, she can't help but think that Styx would steal him from her. "You are angry," Theo said, wrapping his arms around her waist. He could see it in her eyes and he knew too well that she w
Vivian sat on the edge of her bed with a novel in her hand. Her hair was tied into a tight pony, with few strands on her face. Her eyes were void of emotions but deep down her mind was in chaos. She held the novel tightly in her hand, fisting her knuckles. She closed the book, throwing it to the floor. Her mind was fuming with anger and the more she recalled what happened in the novel, the more she couldn't contain her anger.She stood up, walking in the direction of the balcony. She kept her gaze on the stars and soon enough tears fell profusely from her eyes. At that moment, she wanted to be with her mother. She wished her mother was right beside her and more than anything she needed someone to cry her eyes too. She wiped the tears from her face, digging her fingers into her flesh.'When did I become like this?' she mused frustratedly. There was a time when she was so eager to get married. She wanted to have a love story like her parents and feel what love is. She was so eager t
"Don't you think, it's high time we talk, Luna Vivian?" said Sophia, placing her left leg on her right leg. Her eyes scanned through Vivian's room. A room she had been trying so hard to get in. It wasn't Vivian's room but Styx's room. He didn't even bother giving her another room but had decided to share his room with her. Something she had been wishing for but he had never given to her."We don't have anything to talk about, Sophia," Vivian responded, tightening her grip on her dress. She unconsciously held her breath, trying to stop herself from breaking down. She wasn't scared of Sophia but she couldn't help but feel guilty. She didn't only ruin her marriage, she also snatched her husband from her and that was killing her. She was hoping she would never get the chance to meet Sophia but it seems that was a lie."Ahh," Sophia chuckled lightly, playing with her fingernails. "You think you have the right to decide that?" She asked, staring right into Vivian's eyes. She had accepted St
"I wish for nothing but your death,"Vivian looked right into Sophia's eyes and she could have sworn she saw the hatred in her eyes. Unconsciously, she took a step back not out of fear but instead she felt she needed that distance. This won't be the first time someone would wish for her death but this would be the first time she felt she deserved it. The first time she felt she needed to leave or probably die because thinking about it now, she felt like she was a curse. If it was up to her, she wanted to end everything. To put an end to everything but then...she wanted to be selfish. "I didn't do a thing," said Vivian, her knuckles tightly fisted."You...""You failed at winning his heart and you also failed at holding your marriage together, Sophia. So it's you fault, it's your fault for failing at winning his heart. It's your fault for failing at being his companion and it's your fault...for getting deposed as his Luna. It's all your fault, Sophia ," she snapped, finally letting go
In a dark corridor in the palace, Styx leaned against the wall with a cigarette in his hand. His eyes were cold and void of any emotions. He twirled the cigarette in his hand as if he was contemplating what he should do with it."You should be with your wife," said Theo, standing beside Styx. He removed the cigarette from his hand, placing it between his lips, not bothering to lit it. His mind was in chaos and he was still thinking of how to make it up to Hazel. She was angry with him and the last thing he wants is for her to leave once again without telling him a single thing. "I should be the one to tell you that," Styx responded. He knows too well he should be with Vivian but he couldn't. His body was craving to be with her and more than anything, he wanted to be with her but for now... He needed to set things right. For her safety and for him to finally get rid of Sophia. He had deposed her but that doesn't mean he has gotten rid of her yet. As long as Sophia was still Alpha Kill
