"What else than death," his voice was cold with no emotions in his eyes.The second Styx said those words, a long deafening silence took over once again. The people present in the courtroom unconsciously held their breath, afraid to even take a look at their Alpha and King.The werewolves have gotten used to Styx's ruthless way of handling things. More like he changed after what happened with his mate. He became cold and ruthless and the pack lost their warm Alpha while the humans lost their king. They all thought he would go back to the way he used to be in a matter of years but...years had passed since her death and he was still so cold...and ruthless.Leo let out a frustrated sigh, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Beta Theo and Delta Karl would find Vivian as soon as possible. Still now, he couldn't think of a reason Vivian decided to leave the palace. He thought that Styx would be able to hold on to her but it wasn't even up to two days and she already grew t
"Wolves!" Vivian yelled, standing up to her feet.Hazel also stood up, with her eyes on the three wolves. She knew for a fact that they were werewolves and seeing the moon symbol on their arm, she knew immediately the werewolves were from Alpha Steve's Pack, Alpha Styx's sworn enemy.She took a step back, holding onto Vivian's hand. They must have found out that Vivian was out of the palace and Alpha Steve must have decided to make use of that opportunity to attack Aloha Styx at his weakest point. It doesn't matter if loved Vivian or not or even considered her as his weakest point but as long as Vivian was his bride then that was enough for him to attack.Vivian could hear the loud beating of heart against her ribcage. She was scared, scared that she might end up dying in the hand of these bloodthirsty wolves. This would be the first time in her life, seeing a wolf and that was scaring the shit out of her.At that particular moment, she couldn't help but regret her decision to leave t
"Vivian?" The deep voice brought Hazel out of her thoughts. She raised her head, staring at the two men in front of her. She had no idea who the man that called out to Vivian was but she knew the man standing beside him too well.Karl couldn't hide the shocked expression on his face. He ran over to Vivian and checked her pulse. She was still breathing but her breathing was a bit shallow and that made him scared. Immediately, he shifted into a silver werewolf, placed Vivian on his back, nodded at Theo and trotted over the knoll.Hazel stood up immediately, her eyes on Theo that was staring back at her. He wasn't a stranger to her, she had met him countless times for her to know that he was Alpha Styx's Beta. That was the only reason she allowed Karl to get closer to Vivian in the first place. Because she knew he wasn't there to hurt her but to save her instead. It turns out that Alpha Styx did care for Vivian, for him to have sent his second and third-in-command to look for her."We me
"Yes, from what I can see. Her illness has reached the final stage. She has approximately a month to live, Alpha Styx" 'A month to live,' that was the only word Styx was able to register in his brain. It felt like it was a dream or better still he wanted to believe it was nothing but a dream. A nightmare that he was going to wake up from but then..."With her injuries, it would be a miracle if she survives," the physician said slowly. He doesn't know the best way to break down the news to him and as a physician he had witnessed so many deaths. So all this wasn't new to him but he couldn't help but felt pity for the young girl. She was still so young and had yet to experience the world but not only was she on the verge of dying. She had an illness that would end up taking her life. Even if she did survive then it would be days...or even perhaps weeks and she would be gone."You must be mistaken?" He said. Whether he was trying to convince himself of the physician he had no idea but he
Vivian slowly opened her eyes, she looked around trying to figure out where she was.It was past midnight, and the evening was silent and eerie. She furrowed her brows in confusion, gazing around with no idea of where she was.She was in a forest, a forest that felt so familiar yet she had no idea when and how she had been here. She closed her eyes trying to recall what happened. "Wolves," she mumbled silently. She raised her gown, trying to find any wounds on her body but there was none. She could have sworn she was attacked by the wolves but she couldn't find a single scratch on her body and that was enough to make her lose her mind."Hazel!" She called, walking through the silent forest. She was alone and also...scared.Something was wrong and she could feel it deep to her bones. There was something strange about the forest and whatever that was happening to her. The pain she felt when the wolves attacked her wasn't just her imagination. She felt the pain and she knew it was real
"I brought you here...Vivian,"Vivian turned around, staring at the woman in front of her. She took a step back, not out of fear but because she was shocked and in a dilemma. She was in a white gown, a gown that was covered in blood. "Ama," she said silently. She thought she was mistaken, she wanted to believe she was mistaken. But she knew too well, she wasn't. Her brown hair and blue eyes was enough for her to recognize her and her face... It was the face of a woman Alpha Styx would never forget, a face she unconsciously had imprinted on her mind. Why? Cause she was jealous, jealous that even though she was no more in the palace, his heart still belonged to her."I've been wanting to meet you, Vivian, " she said with a smile on her face. A smile that didn't reach her eyes and behind her eyes was something dark, very dark that made it very hard to miss."Why?" Vivian asked. She wanted to know why she brought her here or more better still how she was able to bring her here."To remin
"I never took him away from you, Ama. He's still yours cause his heart still beats for you. His heart still belongs to you even when you are dead!" She yelled, her eyes burning with hatred. She hated this woman in front of her, a foreign feeling that she was new to her. "Oh, that's true!" Ama smirked. His heart still belongs to her...it once did. But now, his heart belongs to someone. And she's going to use that to her advantage, as long as Vivian doesn't know that Styx was already in love with her then she could get what she wanted. She could be with her man back even if it would be at the cost of Vivian's life.She took a step forward, squatting in front of Vivian. Her lips curled into a sinister smile, things were working just like she had expected and she could not be more happier. "That's why I need your body, Vivian. This poor woman yearns to be back with the man she loves. And like you said, I'm dead and only your body can give me what I want," she said softly, wiping the tea
Ama wanted to move, to run and stay far from the palace but she couldn't. Looking into his eyes she found it very captivating and... beautiful.Styx took a step forward, moving closer to Ama. His lips curved into a smile and then he pushed her out of his room. Something about her was extremely tempting but then she was human and not a werewolf.She stood in front of his closed room, staring keenly at the closed door. It has been years since she fell for a man and since it happened again then she was going to make sure that the man ends up with no one but her.~~~~~~~"You should have at least told me earlier so that I could dress up beautifully," Lyla mumbled, walking through the crowded streets with her sister."You don't expect me to come here all alone for you,?" Ama rolled her eyes, holding her sister's hand so that they wouldn't get lost in the crowd.Other than being just sisters, Ama and Lyla were best friends. Ama finds it extremely annoying to make new friends or talk with s
