Vivian smiled, a faux smile she had been getting used to having on her face for a while now. She removed her gaze from Steve, facing the priest. At that moment, she was waiting for a kind of miracle even though deep down she knows too well that miracles don't exist.Steve tightened his grip on Vivian's hand. A faux smile made its way to his lips and his eyes fixed on Vivian as if she would disappear from his side if he took his eyes off her for even a second. "Do you accept him as your husband and promise...."'Sillence!'Her eyes were on the priest but still she couldn't hear a single word coming from his mouth. She could hear the loud beating of her ribcage against her heart and each seconds felt like hours. She was losing her mind, she was going crazy and also....She was waiting for someone. She had only met him once but still he was able to evoke those emotions she had hidden so perfectly. She thought running away from her emotions and getting married to Steve would save her but

"Vivian?" Lyla called, taking a step closer towards Vivian. Her brows were furrowed in confusion, staring at the girl standing not far from her. She was supposed to be having her vows or better still married to Steve and should be on her way to his pack. So what was she doing here?Vivian turned to face Lyla and soon enough the tears in her eyes came falling down. "Lyla!" She rushed towards her, pulling her in a hug. She thought she could handle it, she thought she would be able to cope with everything but it seems, she wasn't that strong. Yes, she was stopping herself from falling in love or getting married. Yet, she was hoping she could find a man her heart would beat for and a man she could live happily with. But still, she couldn't help but be afraid. She was scared that in the end, she won't be able to have that happily ever after she dreamt of. She was afraid and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't bring herself to stop that fear. She felt like she was making a mistake

A deafening silence took over the courtroom. Silent to the extent that a needle drop could be heard. The elders were on their seats, their eyes were void and held no emotions in them. But still, all those present there knew they were all doing a good job in holding their anger instead.Sebastian's eyes were on the door. He had been expecting the elders and he knew too well they would pay him a visit but he wasn't expecting them this soon. He hasn't even had the chance to speak with Vivian and now...he has no idea what this would lead to. In the end, the elders held more powers since he was just an Alpha, an Alpha but not a king.Zara closed her eyes, as if she was lost in thought. She bit her lips, tapping the arm of her chair with her fingers. She was scared and for the first time she had no idea of what she would do. Indeed, she had told Vivian that the elders would visit sooner or later but she wasn't expecting them to come this soon.The elders...the oldest werewolves and the mo

"If going against the elders will stop this wedding from happening then I'm more than happy to do that...Felix,"Zara fixed her eyes on Sebastian and at that moment she couldn't help but fall in love with him once again. She knows too well, Sebastian would do anything for his daughter but never would she have thought he would go against the elders just so he could keep her safe.Vivian was overwhelmed with emotions. She lifted her head, her eyes on her father. Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder what good thing she might have done in the past to have a father like Sebastian because deep down she knows too well she doesn't deserve his love and attention. She had brought him nothing but pain, she was weak and also a... disgrace. But yet... despite everything he still loved her and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't understand why. There are times she wished he would disown her and reject her. She wanted him to send her out of his pack because she knows that's the only way he

"She would be getting married to me instead," A deafening silence took over, all eyes on Styx. Seconds, minutes passed and not a single word was heard in the courtroom. "What do you mean, King Styx?" Riam asked, with a confused expression on his face. He was finding it hard to believe what he just heard. It was impossible and he was certain he must have heard wrong. He was already married, he has his Luna and unless he plans on deposing Sophia, it would be impossible. Vivian raised her head, staring right into Styx's eyes. His blue eyes staring right into hers as if he could see through her. She unconsciously held her breath, trying to stop herself from showing the pain in her eyes. For a second there, she felt like her life was being decided on and she had no say in it but still...still she felt happy?"I'm sure I made myself clear enough, didn't I?" Styx smiled, a smile that was so difficult to discern."She's my bride," Steve snapped, glaring at Styx. He was trying so hard not t
