In a dark corridor in the palace, Styx leaned against the wall with a cigarette in his hand. His eyes were cold and void of any emotions. He twirled the cigarette in his hand as if he was contemplating what he should do with it."You should be with your wife," said Theo, standing beside Styx. He removed the cigarette from his hand, placing it between his lips, not bothering to lit it. His mind was in chaos and he was still thinking of how to make it up to Hazel. She was angry with him and the last thing he wants is for her to leave once again without telling him a single thing. "I should be the one to tell you that," Styx responded. He knows too well he should be with Vivian but he couldn't. His body was craving to be with her and more than anything, he wanted to be with her but for now... He needed to set things right. For her safety and for him to finally get rid of Sophia. He had deposed her but that doesn't mean he has gotten rid of her yet. As long as Sophia was still Alpha Kill

It was past midnight, it should be the night of the ball where Vivian would be fully welcome to the pack but because of how weak she was, the ball was canceled instead. Styx sat beside Vivian on the bed, holding her hand in his. He placed his other hand on her forehead, feeling her body temperature. The more he sits down here waiting for the physician, the more he couldn't help but be scared. He had called for the physician for an hour now and he still hasn't reached here yet because he wasn't in town and he would only reach here in the next few hours. "Styx..." Vivian mumbled unconsciously. "I'm here," said Styx, tightening his grip on her hand. He should have stayed with her the other evening, he should have been with her and then this... He only wanted to give her some space and time to get used to her and the elders were making things difficult for him. But now, he wished he had come back and be with her instead. If only he had stayed back with her, then he could have stopped

"She was pregnant. Queen Vivian was pregnant," the physician repeated, biting his lips out of fear. He had been there for hours and he had failed to notice what was right in front of him. He was so keen on treating her getting out of there and had failed to realize that she was pregnant all along.Silence!Styx stood still, his eyes were void and he felt like his heart was being crushed into pieces. He stood there and the memories he had thought he had completely gotten rid off came rushing back to him. He stood there, picturing the young boy that had lost everything. And the same feeling and emotions he had back then as a child, back then where he was standing and watching his entire family wiped off right in front of him came rushing back to him and it was right then and there he knew he was still caught up in the past . He has never truly been able to get over his past. Unconsciously, he took a step back. The physician's words echoing in his head over and over again. 'She was pre

"Leave right now, Vivian!" Hazel yelled, her eyes burning with fury. The more she stood there, looking into the eyes of the woman that took everything away from her, the more she felt like she was losing herself. Her wolf was getting loose but she couldn't take that risk. She still hasn't gotten her revenge yet and she couldn't afford to risk it now. At least, not for now."I won't," Vivian responded. She wouldn't leave the maid here and walk away as if nothing happened. She wouldn't leave and let Sophia have her way. And she knows too well, she wouldn't be able to bring herself to leave the maid while Sophia treats her like she's nothing.Hazel stood still, not too far from both Sophia and Vivian. She held Grey tightly in her arms, her brows furrowed in confusion. She stood there, watching both Sophia and Vivian, staring into their eyes. She had known Sophia for years now, she got married to Theo months after Sophia and Styx got married. She had witnessed how brutal Sophia could be

Vivian stood in the middle of her room, clutching the paper in her hand. Her eyes were void of emotions and it seemed her soul had left her. 'Shs lost her child!'Those words repeated in her head over and over again. Unconscious, she took a step back falling to the ground and soon enough tears came falling from her eyes. Lies...She had thought they had a good reason for not telling her about what happened with her. She thought there must have been a reason they hid it from her but in the end...they actually lied to her. They chose to keep the death of her child from happening, they chose to lie to her and...."Ahh!" She screamed, placing her hand on her stomach. She was losing it and she was going crazy. She picked up the letter, reading the last words once again. "Come meet me at the dark forest and I'll tell you about how your child died,"She let out a deep sigh and with shaky hands, Vivian stood up, picked up a cloak and walked out of her room. At that moment, she was only ke
