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.654Please respect copyright.PENANA3OWveqvpDi
654Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1xHWPvIQL
Everyone were pretending to be BFF, allies and family. 654Please respect copyright.PENANAGpoRtULxwx
"Oh darling, I have missed you so much." 654Please respect copyright.PENANABQmWzUvj6v
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.654Please respect copyright.PENANAbIxtlRct7x
654Please respect copyright.PENANAaCLZWQuOw3
Vampire Royalties lifestyle 101. We'd kill, but always remained civilised. Pah...654Please respect copyright.PENANA0IRQ78p64y
654Please respect copyright.PENANA2klCrtYSLE
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…654Please respect copyright.PENANAOTviPny90o
654Please respect copyright.PENANADKiKMQklKD
I spun around. 654Please respect copyright.PENANA68zr0z0DKm
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.654Please respect copyright.PENANA4e3iOfJ8Kp
654Please respect copyright.PENANA1BIZMRfRqj
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.654Please respect copyright.PENANAJDiCBy4GbK
654Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mo4mc4nuc
He walked up the stage and commanded attention with just his presence. The noise in the ballroom ceased.654Please respect copyright.PENANAo7ykJSa4b0
654Please respect copyright.PENANAUVz9j1TFWG
"My brother, Red, has passed away last winter." 654Please respect copyright.PENANAm7liHrf2US
No.654Please respect copyright.PENANArUeEvewwVy
654Please respect copyright.PENANA90dxqXjZYX
"As his only surviving blood relative of the Clan Blood, I have…"654Please respect copyright.PENANAM5KbJRlShI
654Please respect copyright.PENANA64oDPwb5gq
My hand gripped hard on the stem of the glass. Blood pumping loudly in my ears.654Please respect copyright.PENANACWZnuYbFQM
654Please respect copyright.PENANA76XAXPcRfg
Everything changed. Everything. My eyes watched helplessly as he accepted.the applause. Accepting his new position in his Clan.654Please respect copyright.PENANApQOZQ3Ft3g
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. 654Please respect copyright.PENANA58dXFUKpBQ
654Please respect copyright.PENANABrNaUzmk9e
Somehow I had managed to maneuver my way to the outdoor gardens.654Please respect copyright.PENANABiPNaXTQ47
654Please respect copyright.PENANAAKVdCC4zfV
Smile. I must not break down. Oh God. I was breaking apart with every step. My vision was blurring. Shit. Shit!654Please respect copyright.PENANAvg6KYYLC3G
654Please respect copyright.PENANAT5SLmTOkEm
"Luna!" The bass of his voice sent shivers down my spine. "Luna?" Uncertainty seeped into his voice.654Please respect copyright.PENANAw5F9Va53rj
654Please respect copyright.PENANAD3y5bzDSBZ
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.654Please respect copyright.PENANAmZnispxHAI
654Please respect copyright.PENANAT5OViPR09O
The possibility...654Please respect copyright.PENANAVE8Tb6nz7J
654Please respect copyright.PENANAlcktMOwyaF
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.654Please respect copyright.PENANApeG7MVND4M
654Please respect copyright.PENANAEbaelPycbo
For that moment. Time had stopped. Our breathes matched paces. Nothing mattered. For that moment. Just us. And no one else.654Please respect copyright.PENANA5EkTM43ljp
654Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5AsMDfTfY
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. 654Please respect copyright.PENANAxO2kClnS4S
Closer. Our lips just a hair breathe away.654Please respect copyright.PENANAKiaFleS3du
654Please respect copyright.PENANAZl10o85x2Y
I shoved at him. He stumbled back from the unexpected rejection. His eyes widened. Confused.654Please respect copyright.PENANAw5qNQARd8p
654Please respect copyright.PENANAwuFfHmsDhe
"Wha- Luna, I thought." I interrupted him with my hand raised up.654Please respect copyright.PENANAEsjNQ43FA7
654Please respect copyright.PENANAeRLQFmPjS4
"We can't." He stared at me blankly.654Please respect copyright.PENANAQolBVpF1mU
654Please respect copyright.PENANAkKG51NrnFD
"We can't." I repeated. "When you claimed your rights over the Clan, it is over." "Over." He parroted.654Please respect copyright.PENANAesJbXYpsZU
654Please respect copyright.PENANAYtTpdEhPia
"As the head of the Clan, you have to marry a bride. Chosen by the Council."654Please respect copyright.PENANA2GFp5lLYgm
654Please respect copyright.PENANACsOgHMb7ko
He froze. He did not know. Of course not.654Please respect copyright.PENANAtcM9smEWAW
654Please respect copyright.PENANA8ofRl3XpaX
"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."654Please respect copyright.PENANAYSd4b458XU
654Please respect copyright.PENANA44vJY1sWT1
He grabbed my shoulders and shook. "We have a connection." "We only met once before." My voice sounded lifeless.654Please respect copyright.PENANAVFH1QgbsNu
654Please respect copyright.PENANApdUsOYa9ER
"No. We could have..." His voice became strangled. There it was again. Could have. Maybe. Possibility. 654Please respect copyright.PENANA4aBTnEInr1
654Please respect copyright.PENANAmo83GoXQZl
Threads of life were dangling in front of me. 654Please respect copyright.PENANAPrr998s5ze
If we kissed now, I knew. We will be together.654Please respect copyright.PENANAZvSntVzchB
654Please respect copyright.PENANA15a4LoXgS8
Love will blossom between us. And so many life will be forfeited. The future branched out in my mind by my ability.654Please respect copyright.PENANANVKPxIJJ7p
654Please respect copyright.PENANAMePOKaxzdq
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.654Please respect copyright.PENANARQt7qljwMa
654Please respect copyright.PENANANk4gYUB0Lg
The Council would kill him for breaking the law. After his clan was destroyed before his eyes.654Please respect copyright.PENANAxdMMQVNwg4
654Please respect copyright.PENANAIDhlWwo4IK
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.654Please respect copyright.PENANA8isAiwp1s0
654Please respect copyright.PENANAotfyrHVymY
Just without me in it. We had not even begun. There was nothing to end.654Please respect copyright.PENANAFYHsfd4Fls
654Please respect copyright.PENANAIx0DmpBOLd
"It's not fair." The words so soft that I almost missed them with my supernatural hearing.654Please respect copyright.PENANARece3eGN1g
654Please respect copyright.PENANAlvgCXt59fJ
It took all of my strength to turn away. Each step felt so heavy. I took a deep breathe. "Goodbye Anton."654Please respect copyright.PENANAbn6rFYIwaZ
