Chapter: EPILOGUE - Happily Ever AfterLily could feel the sombre mood that settled on the castle when news of Laura's death spread. She knew that she should feel at least, terrible about what had happened, but she couldn't bring herself to grief like the rest of the kingdom. She barely knew her and although, she felt bad that her sister was gone before she knew her well, she didn't feel as bad as she had expected herself to feel.She had expected the news to hit her hard, weren't twins meant to feel each other's pain? She barely felt anything, except, maybe guilt. That she didn't feel that connection with her even if for a little.So while others mourned her twin, she mourned the relationship she never had, that they never had. She watched as the King - she hadn't gotten around to call him her father yet, moved around the castle aimlessly and felt bad that his child had died so young. Lily tried to get into the mind of her sister and figure out why exactly she died? It couldn't honestly be because of what had happened so

Chapter: SEVENTY FOUR - And so it endsLaura had never known heartbreak if it stared at her in the face before but today... Today was very much different than any other day she could have imagined. She had been through a lot but still survived because she believed her love for him was what would save her from all the figure she endured but now, been here... Hearing this. She would much rather be dead.Nicolas never loved her, Nicolas never even cared for her but Nicolas loved her and Nicolas cared for her, she kept on asking herself 'what did she have that I didn't ?' it was a terrible question to ask because she knew she was really beautiful despite the scar but she still didn't understand why he would choose lily over her. She was beyond sad and somehow even angry a big and it was justified. He didn't think their marriage was that much of something worth saving, he looked at their marriage like it never happened and like it was a skillful sacrifice. In more ways than one, it was a sacrifice.She buried herself between he

Chapter: SEVENTY THREE - It was Laura"Thank you so much, my love." Princess Laura hugged her husband. When the hug tried to linger for longer, gently, he pushed her from his space. "All thanks to the commander. She offered to get the kaayan healer to try restore you father's vision. Clearly, it worked." The princess couldn't contain her excitement from knowing her father could see now. She was sad he didn't have his sight during her wedding ceremony but now she was happy he was going to get to see all his grand children and he was going to be able to nurture then with extra love and care. Laura smiled, taking Nicholas hand. "I'm happy our love could stand all the tests of life. Our marriage is still standing firm after all we've been through." She went on her tiptoes and place a peck on his lips. Nicholas knew he had had to break the news to her now. He didn't want to keep letting her fall deeper and deeper with him. He loved someone else and she deserved to know that. It was important she knew he didn't feel the sam

Chapter: SEVENTY TWO - HealingLaura heard a shout from her father's room and dashed inside, sidestepping Lily who stood in front of her. Elaine rushed inside as well and they both closed the door. Laura walked slowly to his bed, watching as the healer hefted him up to a sitting position and made him rest against the headboard. The healer turned, her huge fur coat obstructing their view of the king as she spoke. "It's done, Princess. Why don't you move closer?"Laura couldn't help the apprehension that skittered down her back. What if he'd turn his face away from her? What if he'd look at her with hate? She had brought about the destruction of her people after all. Laura sniffled a bit, hating how she felt. She was shocked when she saw a head pop around the healer's white coat. Her father.He smiled widely at her, his hand weakly lifting to the healer's elbow and moving her out of the way. His strength was non-existent at this point, so Laura knew that the healer moved all by herself.She ran towards him when he

Chapter: SEVENTY ONE - Toast"How long has he been in darkness?" "Ever since I got into the werewolf kingdom." Prince Nicholas answered. All the leaders were in the dining hall having dinner in the werewolf kingdom. It was in celebration of their victory. Lily put a forkful of chicken into her mouth then sipped from her wine. "How did it happen?"The prince recounted the whole story and the commander gave desolate sigh."The doctors?" She raised an eyebrow. "Have you taken him to other kingdoms? They could have the antidote." Lily ended with a shrug, watching princess Laura feed her father.Nicholas took a sip from his wine. "We've called all the doctors, magicians and healers we know and there as been no change. " Lily felt pity for the werewolf king. She couldn't imagine being a leader and not having her eyes working. She wouldn't be able to lead the war if she was blind. "The kaayan healer could be of help.""Lily, we've had a lot of doctors come in from different kingdoms but there hasn't been any changes

Chapter: SEVENTY - LiasonEveryone bowed before the commander. The kayaans, the fairies, the werewolves, the witches, the vampires, the angels and the gnomes were all faced down paying homage to the commander. Despite the lives lost, they bowed before her singing her praises and celebrating her leading them to victory. The commander was standing next to the prince. Their hands were intertwined, both staring at each other. The people stood up cheering and dancing in victory while Nicholas engulfed her into a hug. He smiled when he got a whiff of her lavander scent. The scent had a mix of foul odour so he grimaced in disgust. The groaning coming from Lily made them pull out of the hug and etched on Lily's face was a wide smile.Prince Nicholas skimmed the commander's body taking in the bruises on her skin. Some parts of her skin were swollen and she had a black eye. "Thank you." He breathed out, holding her hands. Lily gave a smile and he added, "I should still come take the fighting lessons though." The both

Chapter: Epilogue1 year later."Cassie, are you ready?" Romeo called, taking another glance at this wrist watch. He would never understand what it was about women and preparing. One would expect Cassie to be different because she wasn't a modern woman, but the following months after they had defeated Pete, the two went on to get married and Romeo had taken Cassie to Earth for their honeymoon. He had taken her to all the beautiful places, and to try out all the amazing foods, one thing Cassie had also picked up was the fashion sense of the women of the twenty-first century.At first she had expressed her strong dislike for it, as long as her shock. She would always call every woman she saw in dresses that revealed their cleavage, shoes that showed their ankles, or dresses above knee-length a prostitute, Romeo had to teach her not to call women that, letting her know that time had changed and fashion sense had also. Though, she still called it nonsense most of the time, Romeo could see her slowly taking

Chapter: Chapter 97Alpha Luca still lay on the same bed, while the witches performed the ritual, with Ryan by his side. She had refused to leave his side. She sat down on the bed beside him, holding his hands. The witches had tried to get her to leave several times, but she refused.The others have gone to wait outside the room, waiting for good news, nothing else but good news.Cara frowned as she watched the Queen, who was holding Alpha Luca's free arm while muttering a spell under her breath, she could see the look on the Queen's face, she didn't need to ask before she knew there was no improvement. Cara didn't understand why it was so difficult to bring him back, they have done the spell several times in the last hundred years, it was one of the first spells that every teenage witch would learn once she got into high school, but if the Queen herself couldn't do it, then Cara didn't think any other person could."Well, isn't this just great," a friend of hers whispered in her ears. "From one problem

Chapter: Chapter 96"What are we going to do? We can't just sit and watch her die," Alpha Luca said. "Come on," he faced Cara. "Surely there's something you can do, try again.""We've tried...If Pete was alive, we would have been able to do something, but now that he's dead. It's...I don't know. We'll see what we can do, we will try our best.""You have to, s-she can't die.""She won't die, Luca," Alpha Romeo said, placing a comforting arm on his friend's shoulder. "I'm sure we'll find a way, even if we have to turn the world upside down to find a cure for her, we will. Okay?""Yes," Cara assured him. "We will try our best." They were able to talk Alpha Luca into leaving the room so he could give them the privacy they needed to perform the ritual. Ryan was laying on her back, staring straight up at the ceiling, she was the only one in the room at that moment. She could hear voices talking just outside the door, she couldn't recognize them, so she knew it was probably the witches. She couldn't hear the w

Chapter: Chapter 95"I'm going to rip your heart out and kill you at this spot today! No going back!" Alpha Luca shouted, glaring at Pete, who lay on the floor in a pool of his blood. He was still alive, but he was in serious pain and he had lost a lot of blood due to the way Alpha Luca had pounced on him.He was about to do what he had just said, when he suddenly stopped, as soon as he heard what Pete just said. He tried so much to not believe it, hoping it wasn't true. He was not ready to lose Ryan, not now, not ever and the thought of her dying scared him a lot. Yet, he couldn't just believe the rogue before him, as he could only be trying to blackmail him into not killing him."What did you just say?" Alpha Luca asked Pete, making sure that he heard what he said right."I said no, you won't! You can't kill me! Because by killing me, you're only going to kill Ryan!" He blurted out as he spat out the blood at Alpha Luca's cloth. This irritated Luca so much, which pushed him to hit Pete's stomach with h

Chapter: Chapter 94"Well, well, well," Pete said with a mischievous smile as he stood up from the chair he was sitting on. "If it isn't the dangerous trio, Lord Valentine, Lord Romeo and the one who betrayed me, Alpha Luca." He said the last part and giggled, as he stared daggers at Alpha Luca."Betrayed you?" Alpha Luca said and folded his arms. "I betrayed you, or it was you who betrayed me?"Pete acted like he didn't hear what he said, so he just walked around his chair slowly as he stared at the trio, who were about five feet away and were also staring at him. "I had a feeling you would find me sooner, but it was a shame. I was disappointed that you didn't. I guess you three are getting old after all," he said and chuckled, trying to trigger them to get angry or something. Meanwhile, the trio just stood there staring at him. They were still shocked to see him alive, most especially Lord Valentine. Seeing that they didn't say anything still, he continued. "You three were a bit slower than I thought.

A party was thrown in the human world and she had gone there to have her fill, together with her brother and Lord Valentine.
