"Be happy. Without me." - Luna Cross, Year 2089
As a matter of principle, I hated functions. HATED. Capital letters. I could not emphasised enough.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsPCAj69dp
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUFXRnLNwX
Everyone were pretending to be BFF, allies and family. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpmN3sn9uw
"Oh darling, I have missed you so much." 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp71umyiTf
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMpwKeyOIQ

Vampire Royalties lifestyle 101. We'd kill, but always remained civilised. Pah...885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMjx9poh9S

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…885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQrVjYWeyA
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmBbYgdk4Q
I spun around. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgdochhoW2
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvugleM1SoN
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUNQ5qkYz3
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oRKfJAiqO
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXO7G8LFLV
He walked up the stage and commanded attention with just his presence. The noise in the ballroom ceased.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wvtU8CPoK

"My brother, Red, has passed away last winter." 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IKpCAGdQb
No.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgDYTMOzk6

"As his only surviving blood relative of the Clan Blood, I have…"885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYGsosD0N6
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ci2Yd2t6Y
My hand gripped hard on the stem of the glass. Blood pumping loudly in my ears.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAgahSWSJR
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4UrNt5GyA
Everything changed. Everything. My eyes watched helplessly as he accepted.the applause. Accepting his new position in his Clan.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7UvyZhXTB
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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDE23Wc0Vb
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ8qzwJmPq
Somehow I had managed to maneuver my way to the outdoor gardens.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCayLmuwif
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooIM3pbWZa
Smile. I must not break down. Oh God. I was breaking apart with every step. My vision was blurring. Shit. Shit!885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkZSg3QhFN
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s4WbntQig
"Luna!" The bass of his voice sent shivers down my spine. "Luna?" Uncertainty seeped into his voice.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqF1hpO1Z0
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAZHis0Bgz
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzi6DW8wjv
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuBuoi86yO
The possibility...885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSAocyAqEX
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOj89wk05Z
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumWNQxeiE8
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmFed88Grb
For that moment. Time had stopped. Our breathes matched paces. Nothing mattered. For that moment. Just us. And no one else.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOZoiV4Tow
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l28d6pUvx
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. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa0rO7xO6Y
Closer. Our lips just a hair breathe away.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruEQ0bpV8X
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66CHGLZzk0
I shoved at him. He stumbled back from the unexpected rejection. His eyes widened. Confused.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2kmv5RZT5
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfl9hxQp12
"Wha- Luna, I thought." I interrupted him with my hand raised up.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGDJuUbWBe
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccNoK0HTl6
"We can't." He stared at me blankly.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazlT7JFzSP
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHcUH8kOZ2
"We can't." I repeated. "When you claimed your rights over the Clan, it is over." "Over." He parroted.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0om4umwFX
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eHGHvwKr6
"As the head of the Clan, you have to marry a bride. Chosen by the Council."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFQKFTT03u
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP3co48wFr
He froze. He did not know. Of course not.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡderjKCPofP
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDuH3AbBiU
"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."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM27q50l8D
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBRrFTuE3f
He grabbed my shoulders and shook. "We have a connection." "We only met once before." My voice sounded lifeless.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrWA0Q2pdF
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArZVxJsbF6
"No. We could have..." His voice became strangled. There it was again. Could have. Maybe. Possibility. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlUstHRRG7
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqn4dVMeoA
Threads of life were dangling in front of me. 885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpHgkcQQ8y
If we kissed now, I knew. We will be together.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z8NbXOrGY
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYJeaCyhXw
Love will blossom between us. And so many life will be forfeited. The future branched out in my mind by my ability.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZrbx57vVo
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hdv0gJ4bu
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfwP3jtoHS
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnwQc2PchO
The Council would kill him for breaking the law. After his clan was destroyed before his eyes.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqQgNTaLGH
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc119vfregn
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.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UHDzSjQBC
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXct3lP2Cto
Just without me in it. We had not even begun. There was nothing to end.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3egaToVErw
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK2siJQJEa
"It's not fair." The words so soft that I almost missed them with my supernatural hearing.885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt8Y4SpSZ9
885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJEZivtmr8
It took all of my strength to turn away. Each step felt so heavy. I took a deep breathe. "Goodbye Anton."885Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgcyjSJBA
