I Failed To Abandon The Villain Novels & Stories

“Why… why did you leave us?” Matthew did not look in our direction. His eyes remained fixed on the floor, completely emotionless as he stood beside the woman chosen for him by the Moon Goddess. He looked like a statue carved from stone. The man who had promised me only last night that he would never let me go had completely turned his back on his son and me. He simply allowed the Enforcers to drag us toward the dark doors of the temple. “Enjoy your return to the mud, human!” Lady Vanya shouted at us as she watched our defeat, her smile filled with triumph. “He belongs to the throne now, but not to you.”

My curse marks burned, but I kept my voice steady: "At least I saved his life." Everly's face twisted for a moment before she laughed again. "Then why don't you tell him? Let's see who he believes - his devoted Luna or his traitorous ex-mate?" "Face it, Caroline. You're nothing but a cautionary tale now." She was right, in a way. To the packs, I would always be the mate who abandoned their Alpha King in his hour of need. After Everly left, I discovered all traces of cyberbullying had vanished from the pack networks.

I accused him of supporting them and their foolish laws and demanded he keep away from me or risk having his head perched high next to Geo’s. As I was leaving the castle, Abigail caught up with me and begged to be able to go with me. She explained that Pierre was still seeking to regain control of Vampire Land and reminded me that I could use all the friends I could get, especially without Luthias to accompany me. I thanked her for the offer. We left Verso without a backward glance. As we passed through the portal the vampires used to reach Desolation, I stopped to regain control of the rage I felt.

Alpha Victor, who had decided it was best not to button his shirt, ordered. Liam’s eyes looked at the tattoos peeking out on his body. His eyes immediately caught the name ‘Moon’. He looked back at Alpha Victor’s eyes. “Why did you abandon my Mum?” It came out as a shaky question; his eyes were begging to be told the truth. Alpha Victor got weakened by the question from his sad son, that he sagged a little before going close to him. “It was never intentional to abandon your Mum. She ran away, son, and I couldn’t locate her.”

Done sacrificing myself for a man who'd never deserved it. I was choosing me. Choosing my baby. Choosing survival. And if that made me the villain in Damon's story, then so be it. I'd be the villain who got away. The villain who built a life he'd never be part of. The villain who won by leaving. And someday, maybe years from now, when he finally learned the truth about everything, when he realized how badly he'd fucked up, when he understood what he'd lost, it would be too late. I'd be gone.

Well, Ivory would remember to add that into the content of the story she was going to tell to her children. Father round children, today, mother’s gonna be telling you all about the tale of how the one person I admired, trusted and looked up to like a brother, turned out to be a full blown, obsessive psychopath. Ah, yes, that would make an amazing story. Pushing that thought to the back of her mind, she asked. “Before who abandoned you?” Her question seemed to fall on dead ears. Lucien was silent and his gaze had been cast downwards. She decided to go a step further. After all, all the fanfictions and books she had read, told her the easiest way to escape the grasp of your captor was to win

I said quietly. “I already am,” he replied. “They took our family, and I am going to take it back.” Before I could stop him, he turned and walked away. “Ivan, do not do this,” I called after him. He did not stop. “I am not going to fail,” he said. The words echoed in the room as I stood there, frozen. One had already gone into the fire, and now the other was walking straight into it. Then suddenly, a new screen flickered to life without warning or trace, showing a live feed that made my breath stop completely.

--- “Tracking failure.” --- For the first time— --- It sounded incomplete. --- Because something had slipped beyond its reach. --- And it didn’t know how to get it back. --- Adrian exhaled slowly. --- “We actually did it…” --- But Victor didn’t relax. --- Because escape— --- Was never the end. --- Only the beginning of something worse. --- “It won’t stop,” he said. --- A pause. --- “It will adapt.” --- Elena nodded. --- “Yes.” --- A beat.

{20… 21…} "Fuck....I can't do this anymore!" she cried out. Her arms gave out. The kegs slipped from her hands and hit the ground with a heavy thud. Ivy immediately clutched her arms, wincing in agony. She could barely feel them anymore. {Mission failed.} {Host must start over.} "Shit!" Ivy cursed, frustration evident in her voice. "Can I just do this tomorrow? I still need to prepare my children for bed!"

He was brought to his knees, stripped of his title and his dignity. Lily was dragged from her chair, her pleas for mercy falling on deaf ears. By twisting the truth, I had ensured they would share the same fate—not as enemies, but as co-conspirators. As they were dragged toward the dungeons, Gabriel stepped to my side, his hand resting firmly on the small of my back. "You played a dangerous game, Vanessa," he whispered, watching our enemies disappear into the dark corridor. "I didn't play a game, Gabriel," I replied, looking up at him. "I ended one.”
