The Royal Ascension のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 28

I stared at the torn parts of the diary. It just stopped there and my mind was left with so many questions that I think it could blow my head off. What was that? Why did Elizabeth wrote about her and those people? And take note, there was no special abilities mentioned. Even her didn't describe that there was something supernatural with herself when she was supposed to be a full blooded vampire—someone who was supposed to be very much capable of protecting herself. But on the first part, it was obviously stated that she feared that Mr. Deluca and how fortunate she was that Weston and Lucian arrived that time and saved her from the bastard's hands.And why do I feel like something had developed between her and Lucian? And how she described each detail of the events that took place that time, it was all humanly. I have lot of questions about the happenings, all right. Like the sects and all, but of course it took place probably a century ago, and most likely not in United States. I supp

I just quietly obeyed his command so that we could finish there. I got a black dress shirt on his rack of clothes. I handed it to him."Here," I said.His forehead creased. Did not accept."What? You said you want a black–""Help me wear it. Do I have to say that too?"I sighed and swallowed all the irritation and impatience. Remember your goals, Serra. Be patient. Just a little more patience.I helped him put the sleeves on each arm. I held my breath because of the irritation. He noticed it. I know because I saw mockery in his eyes as he watched me buttoning his shirt. He badly wants to torture me and this is his way. My anger and misery satisfies him."I can see that you don't like doing this. Why not give up, instead? Just tell me what I want to know and you'll be freed."I finished the last button before looking up at him. I equaled his dark stare with dauntless eyes filled with grit."Thank you, but no. I don't intend to give up. I'd rather be killed."His eyes grew grimmer by th

The weeks I spent with Landon after the wedding felt like the happiest moments of my life. I was afraid though. It was ironic that I felt afraid in the middle of happiness, but I guess it really goes that way. When you are too happy, you would want that moment to never end because of course people always prefer to be happy, right? That’s where the fears start. You would fear that the moment will end. And I wasn’t an exception. In the middle of my so good happiness, I got afraid that our happy moments will soon end.True enough, I realized that everything does have an ending, and that one should brace himself when he feels so much happiness because no one knows what is waiting for you after it.And on my case, I thought I already have my happy ending because that was what I felt with Landon, but I was wrong. It was proven that when you are happy the most, that’s when you could become vulnerable the most. What makes someone vulnerable? Fears. The desire for happiness. Family. Love.“Dri

Everleigh's POVOne would really doubt if he would know my history and how I ended up lying on the sacrificial table voluntarily as an offering for whatever ritual this is. The night after I came to see Alec is the month's full moon—the day of the ritual. Alec must be so happy that I am finally making his dream come true. I could see it in his eyes. Though, I could also see that he felt not the least bit of remorse for what is about to happen. All I could see in his eyes is pure excitement, joy and nothing else. He will never regret this for sure. He has no conscience.On the other hand, I know how Elizabeth would feel if she would wake up in another person's body who looks exactly like her and know that for her to come back, she needed to kick out the poor girl's soul out of her own body so she can replace it. She would feel real bad for sure. She would despise Alec more than what she did before. She would also despise herself for being the cause of it all. She would hurt and I doubt
