Chapter: EpilogueAn excerpt from the diary of the last Vitalis Princess to ever marry a Lycan King:My name is Hope Vitalis-Moratis. I am the last Vitalis princess to get married to a Lycan King. Hundreds of years ago, humans were the only superior species on Earth. However, Lycans suddenly invaded the earth and dominated humans—this is what is written in the history books.The truth is that, more than thousands of years ago, humans and Lycans lived in peace. But humans grew afraid and envious of Lycans who were more talented, stronger, and powerful than them. They all put out their hands to drive away Lycans and surpress them within a hidden kingdom known as Moratia. Many years after, a Lycan King decided to change history by coming out of the shadows and breaking out from the hidden Kingdom, making it known to everyone.The king did this with the help of a powerful witch who only appeared when the situation suited her. Thus, this particular Lycan King and his descendants punished humans for drivin

Chapter: Ninety-fiveHopeI could sense everything and nothing at the same time. I could hear everything and nothing. I could feel everything and nothing. All this without opening my eyes.As I finally pried my eyes open, I saw a little crack on the ceiling above my head. I have been living in this chamber for months, but this was my first time seeing this crack. Every single morning when I woke up and looked at this ceiling, I have never seen the crack before. Where did it come from?I turned my head around. I could hear thousands of footsteps from outside. I felt like I could hear the footsteps of people outside the castle as well.My entire body felt light, as I thought I could rise up and fly. At the same it was hard for me to lift my body up. But once I managed to do just that, I realized something."I should be dead." I said out loud.I looked down to my stomach. I was wearing a blue night dress. I rolled it up to check my stomach, and there was no mark of the stab wound that Light had designed on

Chapter: Ninety-fourHope "What are you doing?" I asked Light, trying my best to keep my voice leveled and hide the fear I felt in my chest."You are not ready to join me. Without you being with me, I can't let other people have you and use you against me." Light explained with a detached tone."Are you crazy?! You want to kill me just because I don't believe in your nonsense and cruel actions!? Light, what is wrong with you?!" I exploded at her, but she wasn't fazed by my words."You are a disappointment to all Vitalis princesses." With that said, Light lunged for me. The angle she used was well thought out, and I wouldn't have enough time to dodge the knife even if I attempted to move.I closed my eyes and waited for the impact. However, it did not come. But I heard a clank and a thud sound. I opened my eyes to see that Light was on the floor, and that the Morati knife was at the far corner of the kitchen. This scene was not as surprising as seeing Thaddeus in front of me, standing like a shield."Wh-w

Chapter: Ninety-threeHope "A way to redeem myself?" I asked Light slowly.Light nodded, the light in her eyes brightening even further. "Your child... The child you have with that monster. It could guarantee peace forever. After you give birth to it, we will work to permanently separate his human and beast side, killing the latter off. Then follow through to do the same with every other surviving Lycan to exterminate all beasts."My eyes widened in surprise as I didn't bother to hide the shock in my expression whilst staring at Light."Light, are you listening to yourself? What do you think you're talking about? Even without the child and this lunatic idea of yours, there would have been peace forever! That was what the treaty was for! You-""Oh, stop that! Don't talk as though that nonsense treaty was fair to humans. We basically became a different type of slaves to these monsters because of that treaty!" Light exclaimed."A treaty that we, humans, came up with!" I fired at Light.If she wanted to prete

Chapter: Ninety-twoHope After receiving the report from Orion, everything happened so fast that I didn't get a chance to understand anything. One second, Darius and I were sitting next together, the next, he was locking me inside my room for protection and leaving the castle with a large army of soldiers.My heart was in my mouth, I couldn't breathe. Badum. Badum. Badum. Badum.I could feel my heartbeat in every part of my body. Why was I so afraid? Why did I feel there was something terrible waiting for me? I managed to get myself a glass of water but it did not calm me down a single bit. I looked out the window. The army who had been waiting around the castle on standby were no longer there.They had been moved to the scene of action. As for the few soldiers remaining to protect the castle's gates, I couldn't make them out as they were too far away from my line of vision.I knew that this castle was safe, but I still felt like there was trouble lurking around. "Darius isn't here anymore." I told m

Chapter: Ninety-oneHopeToday was the day of the Blood Moon. But everything was weird. Things were too peaceful. It was like the calm before the storm. From morning till this very evening, there have been no reports of rebels, attacks, riots, or anything.However, that didn't mean that things were fine. Light might as well be bidding her time until the Blood Moon was fully out. From the room's window, I stared at the red moon hanging on the dark night sky that was shrouded with dark clouds.It was seriously ominous, to the point where I got chills just by looking at it. However, if things went according to plan, I would be fine. And I would also carry out a personal plan of mine.Soldiers and guards were stationed all round the kingdom and this very castle. We were prepared for anything. Yet, I still felt like we were missing something.I couldn't place my finger on what exactly it was, but I knew that something was wrong somewhere. If I could bring this to Darius' attention, maybe he would do something

Chapter: Epilogue Epilogue-INDIGO-"I feel hot. I don't know why. Do you feel hot as well? Or is it just me?" I rant to Matilda and Henry.Matty places her hands on my bare shoulders to caress me. "Indy, you're hyperventilating right now. Cool it." She says, and I realize that she's right.My chest is heaving up and down in an erratic manner. I feel like my head is about to explode. I don't know if it's because I'm nervous or if it's because of something else entirely.Why am I nervous a person might ask? Well, that's because I'm getting married today. Yep, you heard that right. I'm getting married to Rowan today. Again. We're going to have an official wedding today.It all started last two months after Frederick got arrested. The proceedings for the court were wrapped really quickly because of the confession I had. Charlotte and Frederick got long prison sentences. Rowan and I started to hang out more. Though I didn't return back to the company. Instead, I'm now working for Henry's restaurant with no

Chapter: Chapter 71Chapter 71-INDIGO-"He might not have proof, but I do." I say as I step into the room, holding up my phone with a sardonic smirk on my face.Frederick pales immediately at the sight of me. "Wh-what are you doing here?" He stumbles on his words.I turn my attention to Rowan and throw him a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry for ever doubting you, Rowan. When I saw you with Charlotte, I just totally lost it. I thought- I thought so many things and I needed time to think and reflect."I thought about it so hard. But you never liked Charlotte, did you? Even before you got married to me, you hated sharing meetings with her. I thought about it and found it so hard that you would want to bed her. It all sounded so mixed up to me."I came here today to ask you more questions about it, then I ran into your conversation with this man," I spit out with venom laced in my voice. "I couldn't be sure what was happening, but since I've always known that he's a no-good sleazebag, something in the back of

Chapter: Chapter 70Chapter 70-ROWAN-Ah, shit. Shit, shit, shit. I've finally done it. I've ruined my life through and through. I take a huge gulp from the champagne bottle in my hand and set it harshly against the bar slab."Fuck." I curse out loud. This is all my fault. If I had just told Indigo the truth when I found out maybe things wouldn't turned out this way.I was so fucking foolish to think that pushing her away was going to help matters in anyway. I didn't think things through that time, and my decisions are now biting me hard in the ass. I wish I was more sensible.I take another huge gulp from the champagne bottle, then groan loudly afterwards. I feel like I'm being ripped apart from the inside. Nothing in my entire life has ever hurt this bad. Absolutely nothing.Heartbreak is the worst pain imaginable. I never thought it was but now that I'm feeling it, I know it is. Indigo hates me now. There's no coming back from that. I bet she's going to move on from me sooner than later, leaving me a

Chapter: Chapter 69Chapter 69-INDIGO-I can't believe the scene in front of me.Rowan and Charlotte are kissing. I feel like my head and my heart are about to explode. I can't think straight. I'm shivering all over.My exclamation makes them pull apart from each other. Charlotte, who is wearing a thin silky robe, breaks into a sly smile as she notices me. While Rowan, there's guilt all over his expression.So he knows that he's done something bad. This isn't even supposed to be hurting me the way that it is but I can't help myself. I knew him to be a liar and betrayer but not a cheat. Never a cheat.I guess I was wrong about that too.Tears prick the corner of my eyes but I try as much as I can to suck them back in with little to no success.Rowan reaches for me, but I flinch away, not wanting his dirty hands to touch me."Indigo, it's not what it looks like. I can explain." He says in a desperate tone as he pushes Charlotte away and starts to walk towards me.I'm backing away from the door, shaking my

Chapter: Chapter 68Chapter 68-INDIGO-I don't know why I keep thinking about Joshua's words. It's been two days and still. I still can't get over it."How much he loves you..."Loves me? Rowan doesn't love me. He only Loves himself and his lies so why can't I get it out of my mind? Anyways, since I have no job now, thanks to the lying bastard, I have to start updating my CV to find a better one.Henry offered me a spot in his company but I'm still thinking about it. I don't want to be the girl who divorced a billionaire and now works for said billionaire's best friend. It has an odd ring to it.Though it would be very beneficial. I'd have a friend at work, Henry, and I can bet that his working environment won't be as toxic as Rowan's. Henry is a much nicer person. Or worse comes to worse, I could take up a waiting job at his cool ship restaurant.I think that's even a better odd. I miss that place so much. I hate that my first and only memory of it is tainted with a man named Rowan Grey. My goodness, e

Chapter: Chapter 67Chapter 67-INDIGO-"Hi, guys." I say to everyone as I step into the kitchen.Matilda, Jax, and Henry are all caught off guard at the sight of me. I mean, I haven't read the room that Jax graciously spared to me since the day Rowan came by.They've been the ones to come checking up on me and all of that. Yep, I've been heavily depressed but last night, I don't know. I had this self discovery thing happen to me during a whack dream I had.I can't keep pining over Rowan my entire life. It's not like I'm the first person in the one who has been lied to, betrayed, and heartbroken, nor am I going to be the last.I'm not going to let a little set back in my love life predict the rest of my entire life. I had a pep talk with myself. Yes, I know it's going to be incredibly hard but I need to move on.Find a new job, a new house, something to love for. Rowan has moved on, he hasn't been back at the house, he hasn't been pining over the place, begging for another chance do why should I be the o

Chapter: 18: Macho-man•Odette•With the use of my peripheral vision, I watched Draven, finding it difficult to peel my eyes off him. We were seated at the back of one of his cars on the way to meet with his grandfather for dinner.I should be nervous. I should be thinking of how to perfect a loving act with Draven in front of the man. Yet, all I could think about was two nights ago.An incident that I half remembered. I couldn’t remember from the point where Draven had reminded me to pick up my purse in the private lounge. I couldn’t remember how I got home.I damn well couldn’t remember who had taken off my heels and given me a foot massage. Even though I couldn’t remember, I knew that it wouldn’t be anyone other than Draven.Only he would know my address and how to get into my house without my personal assistance. As crazy and criminal as he was. I never thought he would care about me enough to the point where he would rub my feet. I must have been in pain, no doubt about that. Every day in heels from d

Chapter: 17: Lash Serum•Draven•My right lash line hurt like crazy after getting the lashes there plucked by a drunk Odette Valmont. I exhaled through my mouth, trying to ease the pain.I stared at Odette’s dewy eyes and pouty pink lips after she answered my question. She didn’t even act like she’d done any wrong. My lack of follow-up words made her cock her head to one side, letting her thick brown hair cover the right side of her face.“What lash serum do you use?” she asked, her light brown eyes growing brighter as she fixated on my own eyes; my lashes, probably.“Odette’s personal lash-growing serum.” I answered without thinking.“Really??” She bounced on her toes, excited to be told what she must consider a super top secret.“No. That’s a lie.” I pulled her closer to me and stretched a hand to stop an incoming cab.“How could you?” Odette spoke with a betrayed tone.I didn’t look at her because I had already pictured her face in my head, and just the imaginary visuals could send me spiralling. “Keep

Chapter: 16: Goody-two-shoes•Odette•It happened in my first year of high school. My parents had been all up in my business at the time, breathing down on my neck. And that should have been around the time I started to do things in the company, creating my personal designs and refining the ideas I found old in Eve.Of course I hadn’t been paying attention to boys and likes. Even though everyone my age was. My parents had it engraved into my head that I was going to get married to Tristen no matter what.Playing around would only get me in trouble and give me hopes that would get crushed in the long run. I believed them, I obeyed them.Which was why I sent away every boy who came my way. “I have a marriage partner already. Please, find someone else to like.”I had said these words almost a thousand times in my youth. Some of the boys I said then to had just been naturally attracted to me. Most had been attracted to my last name. Either way, I couldn’t be with them.Henry Hawk had come into my life in an interes

Chapter: 15: All the best things•Odette•My hands were tense on the steering wheel as I parked my car. It was a different one from the car I’d driven to see my father days ago.I couldn’t ride that one anymore.A lump formed in my throat as the frightening memory refreshed in my head. They knew my secret? A secret that I’d suppressed so deeply in the back of my mind that I could hardly even remember the details? That one?Fuck whoever thought they could threaten me.I grabbed my purse and alighted from the car. I was dressed in a formal blue gown this evening that went off the shoulder. The length ended around my knees and had a long slit at the back. The unreasonably high heels on my feet were killing me as I strutted, probably because I’ve been on them all day, going from place to place to personally inform and invite people to the wedding.All that, just to have Draven ring me to tell me he wanted me to meet up with his closest friends who’d be present at the wedding. I was to act as naturally as possible. I w

Chapter: 14: Perfectly concrete•Draven•“Are we really your friends?” Henry whined, aggrieved, before emptying a shot of vodka.He planted the glass on the drinks table and leaned over to rest his head on my shoulder. His big curly brown hair found its way to my mouth. I frowned and shoved him with my elbow.“Don’t touch me.” The warning was filled with irritation. If the kid knew better he’d behave himself. However, he didn’t.He brought his legs up to the leathery cushion, squeezing his lean build as he knelt on the chair. Just so he could grab my left arm tightly and act spoiled. “Rave, I can’t believe you would do this to us. You don’t love us anymore because of her, right? And you never even told us about her!” While prying off Henry’s lean fingers from my arm, his older cousin, who was the last person in the private lounge with us, spoke up.“Stop being annoying, Hen. This is literally the reason why Rave didn’t tell you in particular about Odette.” Adrian said monotonously, wearing his signature straight

Chapter: 13: Are You?•Odette•After leaving the garden, I calmly walked into the mansion, navigating through the walkways to get to my father’s study while my heart drummed loudly against my chest. As much as I hated Silver, her independent opinion and actions meant nothing to me. The only things that mattered to me were the reactions and opinions of my parents.Before Silver came into our lives, I used to think that I knew them best. That I could predict their movements and decisions. I was wrong.I knocked on the mahogany door of my father’s private study first before announcing my arrival.“Father, it’s me. Odette.” The fear that I thought I could suppress surfaced when I spoke with a weak voice.Ten whole seconds passed—I counted—before Father granted me the permission to step into his study. I learnt the hard way as a kid that I needed verbal permission before stepping foot into this private territory of his.Even grown, my hand still trembled as I turned open the knob and stepped into the room.
