"I want you, doll. I want you, so will you be mine?" Those words, hearing it from his mouth, sounded foreign to her ears. A name that he hasn't called her for years now.She closed her eyes to stop the tears that were threatening to fall. This wasn't the right place for her to let those tears out. With him, it was never the right place. "Release me now, Theo" she said softly, trying to stop herself from breaking down. She doesn't have time for this, this moment, these emotions were something she vowed never to experience or feel again but it seems with him that was impossible. And that makes her feel so stupid and vulnerable.His hand tightened around her waist, pulling her closer to him. His other hand played with the tip of her hair, ignoring her request. He could hear the loud beating of her heart and that was enough for him to know that she still loved him. He found it extremely funny that a day could change everything, a day with her was like a thousand years. Especially when

"I was indeed close with Lady Ama, close to her that I wished for nothing but her death!" Vivian's smirked, her lips curving into a soft smile; "Interesting, Lady Sophia""Interesting indeed," she smiled back, a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She fisted her knuckles to hide the anger in her eyes. She doesn't know why but there was something about Vivian she couldn't place her hand on. Something about her, was it her attitude? Or was it because she couldn't read her just like Ama?The guards bowed, ready to open the door. Vivian raised her left hand to stop them from opening the door and turned to face Sophia. There was a smile on her face, a smile that was difficult to understand."Why do you hate her so much, Lady Sophia?" She asked, trying to hide the emotion in her eyes. She had gotten this far, the last thing she wanted was for her mask to fall."She stole everything away from me just like what you are doing right now, Lady Vivian. Alpha Styx was my fiance, we were to be marr

"But why now?" Karl asked. The witches have gone low for sometimes now. So what could have happened and why would they begin their attacks now, why now?"οι μάγισσες είναι στο κυνήγι της γυναίκας. Τη νύχτα της πανσελήνου, όταν το φεγγάρι αλλάζει κόκκινο, τότε θα αρχίσει το κυνήγι" Styx responded, lost for a while recalling the message Alpha Kai has sent to him through Samuel."Huh?""The witches are on the hunt for the woman. On the night of the full moon, when the moon changes to red, that's when the hunt will begin" he translated with a grim expression on his face."Ama?""They must have believed she had returned or...""She has truly returned," Karl mumbled, his eyes now on Styx. So many questions were going on in his mind, questions that only Styx could provide answers to. But he knew too well, he would never be getting that from Styx. He had always been tight-lipped with anything regarding her. He felt just like the witches, he was waiting for her return. But then, was he waiting

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

"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
