"Lady Helen," Hazel greeted with a smile on her face. She was still finding it hard to believe, it felt more like she was in a dream."Hazel, right?" She said, the smile on her face growing wider. It's been long since she had seen her son being that close to a lady and she couldn't help but expect more."Yes," she responded, trying so hard not to meet Helen's eyes. When she had been seeing Theo in the past, she had never thought of meeting his family because she was afraid that his family was going to reject her and stop him from getting married to her. she was scared they wouldn't want him to get married to another creature that wasn't a werewolf since they would want their pure bloodline to continue. But thinking about it now, if she had met his family back then. Would it be possible that things would have been different back then? "What do you think of my son?""Huh?""He's handsome right? He got his good looks from me as you can see? And surprisingly, he isn't married and isn't b

"Vivian?" Hazel called, her brows furrowed in confusion. She stood in the darkness for a while and took a step forward towards Vivian.Sacred, Vivian unconsciously held her breath. Cold shivers run down her spine and she could hear the loud beating of her heart against her ribcage. She was scared and she was so close to losing her mind."Are you okay?" Hazel asked, worried. She could feel the tense atmosphere and also...her eyes. She looked scared and something about that speaks volumes.Vivian released her breath and with a smile on her face; "I think I lost Grey and I've been trying to look for it" she lied, hoping that was enough to make Hazel believe her. When she heard Hazel call her earlier, she was afraid that she had seen everything and that had scared her. She still has so many things to do and also...before she can finally leave she needs to repay Vivian. "Oh, I'm sure....your hand!" She yelled, holding Vivian's hand. She frowned, noticing the blood dripping down her hand.

Evening came much earlier than expected and Vivian was lying still on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Her body was in pain and she was trying so hard not to cry and she was doing a great job at that. She couldn't help but count the number of squares she could see and soon enough she was lost in her silly game.She thought it would be enough to keep her from thinking about anything or it was more like that was what she wanted to believe. She wanted to believe it was enough to keep her away from her thoughts, her struggles and her pain but it didn't. She was again drawn back to her thoughts and at that moment, she was trapped in it.Tears fell from her eyes and soon enough her past was catching up to her. A past she was trying so hard to get rid of but had become her shadow. A shadow that wouldn't let her go and was always following her. She removed her eyes from the ceiling, turning her head to the side and looking out the balcony. The moon looked beautiful at that very moment, addin

Hazel stood under the moonlight, lost. Her eyes were cold and distant and deep inside she felt broken.Her eyes were welled up with tears and those tears were close to falling but she was doing a good job in holding it in. Less than four days left, four days and she still couldn't find a cure for Vivian. Time was no longer on her side and she knew that but there was nothing she could do. She had so many questions she needed answers to. She was sure that Vivian's father is a human and as for Vivian, she doesn't have any signs of being a mermaid. So how can she have the blood of a mermaid flowing in her body, how could she be a mermaid when she doesn't have any powers or act like one. She has to find Vivian's biological mother because she knows too well that she's the only one that could give her answers but she doesn't know where to find her. She has no idea who she is and she knows too well Vivian also doesn't have an idea. She brushed her fingers through her hair, frustrated and

Ophelia and Zara stood in front of the gigantic palace gate. It took a while but they finally reached Gael and Zara couldn't hide the smile on her face.She knows too well that there was nothing she could do to save her daughter. It was too late and that was a truth that hurt and was slowly killing her. She was only here because she wanted to see her daughter even if it would only be for just once. She wanted to ask her for forgiveness and say how sorry she is for leaving her years back. She was scared of losing her back then and her fear came through cause she did lose her daughter."We are finally here, Zara," Ophelia cooed. She sacrificed a lot for her to be here and she didn't regret coming here with Zara. In the end, her daughter's life was also connected to all this.Years back, when Zara had given birth to Vivian. They had made a life-death connection between their two daughters. Something their parents had also doke for them to keep their friendship strong, a connection that c
