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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7EJdzb6kr
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMm9GjIFaB
Everyone were pretending to be BFF, allies and family. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAxm0haUzj
"Oh darling, I have missed you so much." 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMEnYntP9Q
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLU7ycIsJu

Vampire Royalties lifestyle 101. We'd kill, but always remained civilised. Pah...656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFJ3Ixe1ck

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…656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG68jFQywy
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnThoCgVP15
I spun around. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuO4YAEN4p
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBgP3EebnR
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sH5xLtP2T
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsnARlYay7
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5zBb6hsA6
He walked up the stage and commanded attention with just his presence. The noise in the ballroom ceased.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7tBSZegUh

"My brother, Red, has passed away last winter." 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoNQfr0pFw
No.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnsjQ2jOxW
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyXDqHVZe6
"As his only surviving blood relative of the Clan Blood, I have…"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS5M4bBpXM
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO1OJgb09J
My hand gripped hard on the stem of the glass. Blood pumping loudly in my ears.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u8FAJtE8m
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3mCyHFjRl
Everything changed. Everything. My eyes watched helplessly as he accepted.the applause. Accepting his new position in his Clan.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47sZ0oBQWK
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. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUdICYUwqP
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSYG9JiAvk
Somehow I had managed to maneuver my way to the outdoor gardens.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGeAq6PAvS
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8zP3bLt0T
Smile. I must not break down. Oh God. I was breaking apart with every step. My vision was blurring. Shit. Shit!656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ500ekl7FPt
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUrBS0gC5E
"Luna!" The bass of his voice sent shivers down my spine. "Luna?" Uncertainty seeped into his voice.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdTeIRtZ8o
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qWtVmkNVa
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNDuWk4cIW
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEBNCyZP1z
The possibility...656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWA0GQj5Nw
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b5MX561L9
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf7MMsmReD
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNmZ828Q7C
For that moment. Time had stopped. Our breathes matched paces. Nothing mattered. For that moment. Just us. And no one else.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstRWLf3oFs
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqHRSgyXXI
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. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27d9FmGoFc
Closer. Our lips just a hair breathe away.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufSN9jz9Om
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WpS1iYvYw
I shoved at him. He stumbled back from the unexpected rejection. His eyes widened. Confused.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5OPSyiVwo
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd97rHXeKoF
"Wha- Luna, I thought." I interrupted him with my hand raised up.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g7uxy8XZC
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVMumqTmw8
"We can't." He stared at me blankly.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wZ9Jo7G7T
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAdmmjaoFa
"We can't." I repeated. "When you claimed your rights over the Clan, it is over." "Over." He parroted.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXonw8kkaZ
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDXxpGpMCi
"As the head of the Clan, you have to marry a bride. Chosen by the Council."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHeYGDY7PD
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbvucPrax2
He froze. He did not know. Of course not.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzVozwKK6j
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9N2BcZUnH
"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."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkptCtJ7yC6
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZqkLGxxoW
He grabbed my shoulders and shook. "We have a connection." "We only met once before." My voice sounded lifeless.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJTLJEmakF
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIEpGw6SCW
"No. We could have..." His voice became strangled. There it was again. Could have. Maybe. Possibility. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Ap04bP9v
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4HOOJctgN
Threads of life were dangling in front of me. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTwhDCbdiQ
If we kissed now, I knew. We will be together.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ufvjDaTY
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshXimyBHss
Love will blossom between us. And so many life will be forfeited. The future branched out in my mind by my ability.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI4MU4BfBX
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcTtAJKRoN
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodv6IAJgAn
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0zhwlXuHb
The Council would kill him for breaking the law. After his clan was destroyed before his eyes.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY2yUPYQCp
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDZMmmObR4
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8bAoCQUqI
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaUidWTzCs
Just without me in it. We had not even begun. There was nothing to end.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr9wXsAfvY
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1mu34sC6p
"It's not fair." The words so soft that I almost missed them with my supernatural hearing.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDBtrJg6WE
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC0cOzES9L
It took all of my strength to turn away. Each step felt so heavy. I took a deep breathe. "Goodbye Anton."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPcBdgktrG
