"Yes, he was engaged to Lady Sophia," Madeline said. "But he chose you instead and he never liked Lady Sophia. He had no choice but to get married to her as the elders requested. She was his half sister and they felt she would be the perfect queen and Luna," Madeline explained to clear Ama's doubt. The last thing she wanted was to make Ama feel inferior. She had never wanted her brother to get married to Sophia. Not because she doesn't like her but because deep down she felt like Sophia was only getting married to her brother so that she could be Luna and nothing else."He was to marry his half-sister?" Ama asked, confused. For a moment, she thought she heard wrong."It's not new among members of our Pack. As long as they are not of the same mother then they could get married," said Madeline. She never felt good about that kind of marriage, she found it uncomfortably and indecent. If it was up to her, she would have loved to get rid of something like that but with the elders around, s

"Are you telling me now that my queen is planning with the witches to have me killed?!" Styx yelled, his eyes burning with fury. Deep down, he knows the elders didn't really care about Ama saving the witch but Instead, they were trying to use it as an excuse to bring her down and depose her as the queen. "King..." Leo tried to explain but he was immediately cut off by Styx. He should have known that there was nothing they could do to get Ama off the throne."If you have nothing else to say then you can leave the palace now.""But...""It's an order not a request...Leo"~~~~~~~Ama walked into Carina's room to check up on her. Deep down, she felt satisfied and happy that the man she loves, trusts and believes in her. "What are you doing?" Ama asked, sighting Carina on the balcony. She looked dejected and she was holding on to the railings as if she was thinking of jumping. "Don't tell me you are planning to run away?" Ama jokes, standing beside Carina and looking down the balcony.

Days passed and Ama was still caught up in her guilt. She tried her best not to make Styx notice her sudden change and she was doing a good job at that. She made sure to ignore Sophia's questioning gaze and tried to act like she used to. She made sure to hide her guilt deep in her heart, that was the only way she could forget about everything and that was the only way she could stop herself from losing her mind. And that was the only way she could think of to stop herself from doing the unthinkable...kill herself.She walked through the corridor, used to the silent surrounding her. She stopped walking, noticing the painting that was placed on the wall. Curious, she walked towards the painting, staring at it.It was a painting of her and Styx. A painting he had ordered to be taken a few days after their marriage. She stretched out her hand towards the painting, caressing it. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and once again what happened in the forest flashed through her mind. Fear o

Two days laterAma slowly opened her eyes, forcing her eyes open. She sat up, gazing through the forest. She was lost and she had no idea where she was.She stood up and immediately she did, memories flashed through her eyes, memories that weren't hers but her mother's.She almost stumbled, seeing the last memories she has of her mother. Her mother had given her her powers and also... she killed them.She killed them all... She killed Samuel, Madeline and her family and also Lyla and father. Ama covered her mouth in shock, her eyes were void and she was lost. She had been living with her mother for years but never...never would she have thought her mother wasn't human. She had never seen her doing anything strange and this... everything was driving her crazy."Ama," Carina called with a broken voice. She stood not too far away from Ama. Her eyes were cold and void. "Carina," Ama took a step forward but stopped. A memory of how her mother had killed Samuel flashed across her eyes. C

"Mother!""You have to go to the ball, Vivian. Your father wants you to find a suitor and get married," said Zara, rolling her eyes at her daughter's childish behavior. "But I don't want to," Vivian pouted, holding her mother's leg. "You don't want to go to the ball or you don't want to get married?" Zara asked, tying a red thread around Vivian's wrist. Because of her unfilial daughter, she had visited lots of shamans, hoping she could see how her daughter's future would look like. They had told her that she would have a happy and worry free life ahead of her. One had even told her she would get married to her destined husband. But it's been years now and her daughter is still unmarried."Both," she cried. All she wanted was just to leave a free life where she won't have to be bound to a man that would turn her into a slave and mistreat her. She was still young and she still has a long life ahead of her, so why is her father so keen on her getting married."Where did I go wrong with
