Prologue
"Be happy. Without me." - Luna Cross, Year 2089
As a matter of principle, I hated functions. HATED. Capital letters. I could not emphasised enough.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLQO5OpgbR
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTdsGEK3SX
Everyone were pretending to be BFF, allies and family. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt3wCQYbtd
"Oh darling, I have missed you so much." 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SZ2m6o4M8
A little tingling in my head told otherwise. That darling would be dead by this week. Stabbing? I wondered. Those ugly minds were buzzing with plans to get rid of the competitions.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ180M1Eh2sF

Vampire Royalties lifestyle 101. We'd kill, but always remained civilised. Pah...637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPdCWCYRx6

My grandfather, General Cross, lifted his glass of wine towards me. I sighed. Throwing one last regrettable glance at the exit, I picked up a glass of wine and started to walk when…637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4YzSEwkj2
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOIHVdW8Bb
I spun around. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFKoAEqhZU
Even amidst the crowd of colours and lights, I'd found Anton easily. His lips parted slightly and curved into a half smile and half "I want to slap him" look.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhULSIRFNw5
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMoKvxKeW
Gravity shifted. When had I start falling so hard for someone I had only met two days ago? The rational mind of mine had thrown all logic and went gah gah over him. Oh the humiliation.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSru9m2dOve
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjybe4Ydvv
He walked up the stage and commanded attention with just his presence. The noise in the ballroom ceased.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN1En4YAP7

"My brother, Red, has passed away last winter." 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3NXMIjm1I
No.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgivxYCk61i
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpYV4oY0Ya
"As his only surviving blood relative of the Clan Blood, I have…"637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtruSOBUq0
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUp2bd8BH3
My hand gripped hard on the stem of the glass. Blood pumping loudly in my ears.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vJIXIj5hD
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV4iIhgAij
Everything changed. Everything. My eyes watched helplessly as he accepted.the applause. Accepting his new position in his Clan.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSB9wHz9uB
My precognition threw me off balance with the sudden download of information. I could not breathe. I had to get out before my tears started to fall. It would not do to show weakness in front of the predators around me. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22tyiUfTbG
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C6HELJUy2
Somehow I had managed to maneuver my way to the outdoor gardens.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBqpKzNX0q
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiNdvRP1JX
Smile. I must not break down. Oh God. I was breaking apart with every step. My vision was blurring. Shit. Shit!637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrBWfYhLTe
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtGeN54V98
"Luna!" The bass of his voice sent shivers down my spine. "Luna?" Uncertainty seeped into his voice.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfPYaKASBv
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKic7ueQTS
He appeared in front of me. Surprised by my tears, his warm hands rubbed over my arms. His tenderness twisted that knife in my heart deeper.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnoOuuZjwt
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMyE1rUwFd
The possibility...637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2M5Jx0L41
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj93OfvoJPO
His hands swept upwards to touch the side of my face. He cupped my face and raised my chin. Our eyes met. I could almost drown in the depth of his eyes. Specks of beautiful gold dancing in grey storm.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuQOuZ8kt4
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1QOcSvkUS
For that moment. Time had stopped. Our breathes matched paces. Nothing mattered. For that moment. Just us. And no one else.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqutQ67WiHw
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLx7y8quBS
I wanted nothing more than to lean closer and taste his lips. To be drunk in passion. The grey in his eyes darkened. He bent down. An inch away. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KzITpgRdQ
Closer. Our lips just a hair breathe away.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BWPI4eMZo
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wjkD3citv
I shoved at him. He stumbled back from the unexpected rejection. His eyes widened. Confused.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYHmCSiYIx
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFNId7f7pa
"Wha- Luna, I thought." I interrupted him with my hand raised up.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlDLilvYOg
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9ALLYX6lT
"We can't." He stared at me blankly.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd73iRbaLu
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CLBnQxIYv
"We can't." I repeated. "When you claimed your rights over the Clan, it is over." "Over." He parroted.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3IJYBKx41
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSZX1yYzf2
"As the head of the Clan, you have to marry a bride. Chosen by the Council."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXa08TRwJc
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkG35eUUFS
He froze. He did not know. Of course not.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGqHNmSEyX
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUGiqIZ98G
"I…" He ran his fingers through his hair and looked at me. "No one told anything about this. Please." He plead. "You have to believe me."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jO8Gkm9Jt
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q6V7bVeN8
He grabbed my shoulders and shook. "We have a connection." "We only met once before." My voice sounded lifeless.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmexutZPauz
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjwKOMSy3B
"No. We could have..." His voice became strangled. There it was again. Could have. Maybe. Possibility. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaTXs3qC0z
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXOIcUlybv
Threads of life were dangling in front of me. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMKGwDfmpe
If we kissed now, I knew. We will be together.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE5iedQvTq
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDOULjCl1b
Love will blossom between us. And so many life will be forfeited. The future branched out in my mind by my ability.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2ZOD1P3h4
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiU2n9XhKC
My tears rolled down my cheeks. We only wanted to love each other. So simple. There was only one future for us in the end and I held the key to open one of the two possibilities.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03K2Q57WIe
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoDHsRY2O5
The Council would kill him for breaking the law. After his clan was destroyed before his eyes.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ERLll8UVy
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy9jBx9ziA
End this and he got a beautiful bride. I could see his happiness when he threw his arms over her and their newborn son. His other future so promising.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQoU6c1Y6f
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b7EAY0eWc
Just without me in it. We had not even begun. There was nothing to end.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nh2EsSqqp
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpH4NILlAA
"It's not fair." The words so soft that I almost missed them with my supernatural hearing.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroqzGdI08i
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI9AqPHrPQ
It took all of my strength to turn away. Each step felt so heavy. I took a deep breathe. "Goodbye Anton."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP1mEGYea3
