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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe4z3v1lFg

Everyone were pretending to be BFF, allies and family. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBqp9T5nmY
"Oh darling, I have missed you so much." 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyitUYzbwf
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDStAedmjCM

Vampire Royalties lifestyle 101. We'd kill, but always remained civilised. Pah...679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatJb9pIL78

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…679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9gwajwaVZ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPvmIj12oj
I spun around. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bs49rbjZB
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWubr0bZ62
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkjNw6do9S
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jpHQ6u62p
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjydxYctPCq
He walked up the stage and commanded attention with just his presence. The noise in the ballroom ceased.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cDxPDxueF

"My brother, Red, has passed away last winter." 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH9mwcd7nP

"As his only surviving blood relative of the Clan Blood, I have…"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52LaT11du0
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCw4myrCpP
My hand gripped hard on the stem of the glass. Blood pumping loudly in my ears.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONW2bDtYnf
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnkNospLjz
Everything changed. Everything. My eyes watched helplessly as he accepted.the applause. Accepting his new position in his Clan.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKnaIC9JUB
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. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TlL1ReCbd
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdDqCaTI2c
Somehow I had managed to maneuver my way to the outdoor gardens.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF3WKMKAcO
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fptLja3Ey
Smile. I must not break down. Oh God. I was breaking apart with every step. My vision was blurring. Shit. Shit!679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY19oSq9LFy
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwgc6uY8C5
"Luna!" The bass of his voice sent shivers down my spine. "Luna?" Uncertainty seeped into his voice.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkynHGtLcG
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkekYHMaRow
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphwZA2bYpR
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5ol9U4VsV
The possibility...679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhi9JCbbv9
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLgdlQJskx
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX222jgoJSQ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XoUCenfrW
For that moment. Time had stopped. Our breathes matched paces. Nothing mattered. For that moment. Just us. And no one else.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptGy8KbiKV
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVBJ1DmRe1
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. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrwuP4PE30
Closer. Our lips just a hair breathe away.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvB2g1WDKr
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwUYXVLdPa
I shoved at him. He stumbled back from the unexpected rejection. His eyes widened. Confused.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jtPCeFy4Y
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1iZGx50sp
"Wha- Luna, I thought." I interrupted him with my hand raised up.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQUpc8886s
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIqkWFCkTC
"We can't." He stared at me blankly.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFXtJO9uw5
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN76lTtTTf
"We can't." I repeated. "When you claimed your rights over the Clan, it is over." "Over." He parroted.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04EBi0U40n
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4CLHv59VJ
"As the head of the Clan, you have to marry a bride. Chosen by the Council."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucEgir1RuN
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPRpEbeqn1
He froze. He did not know. Of course not.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1FffDWCsv
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuXTWV9oKu
"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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfvTY2pcme
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJGwykTkU2
He grabbed my shoulders and shook. "We have a connection." "We only met once before." My voice sounded lifeless.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg6Q2tCWCM
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHG0F3CG5c
"No. We could have..." His voice became strangled. There it was again. Could have. Maybe. Possibility. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwdXO6Ai0R
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMFIFJVMwg
Threads of life were dangling in front of me. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AvLrsE8gg
If we kissed now, I knew. We will be together.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjwbOADgrC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9FqLejTRP
Love will blossom between us. And so many life will be forfeited. The future branched out in my mind by my ability.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvMSWUbl6f
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQA7w63VOy
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qYMvrt021
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S0NsxU7yp
The Council would kill him for breaking the law. After his clan was destroyed before his eyes.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKLjlZs5C6
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUN9YLjgiJ
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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsUr0h9MDO
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb4Kv3QnbA
Just without me in it. We had not even begun. There was nothing to end.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdH8cI0RMl
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXBt0bhH2L
"It's not fair." The words so soft that I almost missed them with my supernatural hearing.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bOULp3pnK
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXauz2aSHh
It took all of my strength to turn away. Each step felt so heavy. I took a deep breathe. "Goodbye Anton."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVR91nENAO
