"Just don't blame yourself for this, I know you're not in your senses." She thought finally closing her eyes, ready to engulf her fate; death.

But she suddenly felt the grip around her neck loosening, the voice from the mysterious lady rang in her mind.

"Good job!" Lisa's melodic voice echoed in the surroundings, entering Felix's ears and in an instant, he let go of her.

He looked behind towards her Lisa, her smirk grew wider after witnessing the scene, satisfaction was written all over her face.

"Come here, Felix..." She ordered as the maid fell on the ground with a thud. She coughed several times to catch her breath and looked up at Felix.

He was now standing in front of Lisa, his lashes not even daring to blink. Lisa stepped closer to his ear and blew a streak of air and his pupils turned back to their original crimson color.

He stumbled back clenching on his head. His skull felt like bursting, his gaze lingered around and witnessing the girl lying on the floor holding her bleeding throat looking straight up to him.

His heart skipped beats looking at her, he gulped looking at the hurt in her eyes, his eyes went to his own hand and he gasped looking at his bloody hands in shock.

"W-What happened?" He asked as he panicked, unable to cope up with the situation.

He was ready to step near the girl but she shook her head slightly telling him not to.

"Nothing really happened, you can go to your own place where you were standing..." Lisa chuckled and with gaped lips, he went back to his brothers.

His eyes never leaving the girl who struggled to get up, he blinked several times holding back his tears.

With a satisfied grin on her face, Lisa looked up at Luther, the man who had an amused look on his face. He stared at her in awe, he was impressed that a girl like her has this much ability, the ability to control people through her eyes.

He just saw a part of her but that was enough for him to know she had much more in her than anyone he ever wanted.

"Impressive!" He exclaimed complimenting her, "You'll be a great help to me," He looked down at her small figure standing with a smirk. His smile increased its way.

"Ahan, not like this. If I do so to you then...I'll have reasons!" She clicked her tongue folding her hands over her chest.

Luther smiled, ofcourse he knew she had her reasons. Life is indeed complicated but it's really simple to figure out that no one helps without their own capacity.

"What do you want?" He asked, waiting patiently for her answer and without hesitation she replied.

"I want him! The Blood Moon King! The future Alpha of Blackrose, Jeon Jungkook!" Her voice lacing with a feeling of pride, that was quite weird for him to decipher.

He tilted his head aside, questioning why she'll wish for a man with this much obsession. She's a werewolf, they got their own fated mates.

"Aren't you mated already?" He questioned, stressing on the word mated.

"I don't have any mate. He died a long ago!" She exclaimed with an annoyed expression trying to sound as much confident as she could with her lie, telling him that she lost the amity of her wolf was like allowing him to think she's weak.

"What will you gain if you get him? Don't you think it's useless little girl?" He asked and her left eyebrow arched a bit after hearing what he said, she tilted her head to the right still keeping eye contact with him.

"Werewolves cannot live without their mates and Jungkook is already mated with Y/N. If she dies, he'll die too so don't you think it will be worthless?" He asked still unable to get how she's alive if her mate died.

"I don't know, I just want him. It's my problem how will I keep him not yours. If you're not willing to give him to me then I got no reasons to help you."

Tit for Tat...

"If you won't give me what I desire then I won't give you what you desire." Her smirk grew larger as she said those words in her head and waited for him to answer.

"Aw, such a desperate baby I have here." He thought scoffing to himself.

But there was a glint of sadness in his eyes as if he saw himself in her, there was a feeling that stirred up in him when he saw that possessiveness, that obsession.

"Alright, I'll help you get Jungkook. If you want him that desperately then I'll help you as long as you're helping me." An evil smile crept over his lips as he sat back on his throne.

"I don't care what you want until I get what I want." He thought making up his mind.

Lisa's eyes fixed on his she never let go of the eye contact, and hearing his thoughts she scoffed inside.

"Mr. Luther, you don't know who I am."

Beside the lake, beneath the trees, a girl sat there peacefully under the evening sun which was about to be swallowed up by the darkness of the night.

Those last reddish-yellow rays of light fell over her beautiful face as she sat there in silence.

Only the sound of the mother birds chirping can be heard who were returning to their nests, returning to their children.

Placing her hand over her throat slightly she winced, the newly carved cuts on her skin were stinging, the spot was darkened in shades of red.

She looked up at the sky and smiled looking at those birds returning to their nests and her tears welled up realizing how lucky they were.

They can go wherever they want within just a blink of an eye with no one to stop them. They got wings, Wings that help them to fly where ever they want. There is no restriction for them. They are not caged, caged like her.

She was a bird being held in a cage with her wings being torn apart and broken, she never owned her destiny.

"I wish I was a bird." A painful laugh left her lips at the thought of how unrealistic her dream was.

She took the plain white cloth in her hands filled with spiritual ointment and gently placed the cloth on her throat. The sudden bitterness of the medicine made her wince in pain.

"This is gonna be hard." She sighed closing her eyes as if her pain will lessen that way.

"It hurts so bad, isn't it, Melin?" A voice interrupted her peaceful alone time, she turned to look over her shoulder.

Her eyes shined witnessing someone she adored a lot sitting right beside her gazing in the front with a blank expression.

"Felix?" She uttered his name, surprised by his sudden appearance.

He diverted his gaze towards her, his blank eyes contouring into thousands of feeling-pain, guilt, and anger was the only ones she could decipher.

"I am sorry..." He said in a weak voice, guilt taking control all over him.

His eyes lowered to her throat, the red marks and the occasionally leaking blood made him blink his eyes to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall.

"I-I am really sorry. I didn't mean to do such harm to you... It's...it's just-" He stuttered his tongue failing to form his feelings into words.

"Shhh, it's alright. It's not your fault I know," She said silencing him and cupped his face gently.

Of course, it wasn't his fault, he wasn't even aware of his surroundings he just acted as a puppet for Lisa.

He kept staring at her with an unbelievable expression. Amused at the fact that how can someone be so kind-hearted that after doing such a sinful thing with her she forgave him within an instant?

"How can you be this humble and kind-hearted?" He asked as a lone tear roll down his cheeks.

She engulfed him in his arms. She just smiled as he snuggled into the crook of her neck, trying her best to hide the pain she kept him close rubbing his back softly.

She struggled to speak clearly, her throat was sore and it ached badly but she wanted him to feel happy, looking at his hurt eyes it was hard for her.

"Don't feel guilty. I know you'll never hurt me intentionally. I was there the whole time and I know what happened. You weren't in your conscious state." She paused taking a breath and stroking his hair.

"I know, Hyunjin's death was already hard for you, and it's fine whatever happened. Because past is past and we can't change it. This wound will get healed very soon so don't worry." She said while her hand made soothing circles on his back.

"W-Why our lives are like this? Can't we run away from this prison?"

He questioned with desperation, being tired of staying in this prison where no one has emotions, feelings, or anything, where all are heartless and selfish.

"Felix, we already know that this is where we have to live for the rest of our lives and there's no escape from it. No matter how much we try we can't. This is how our life is and this is how it's gonna continue."

It's painful to speak for her but that pain was nothing in front of how torn apart her heartfelt. He pulled her close resting his hands on her waist.

He clung to her as if he let go she'll vanish, She patted his head with her delicate soft hands showing affection, with all the love she had for him.

"Love, when will everything become alright? When we will be able to live as normal beings?" His nose rubbed at the side of her neck as he gently kissed near the gash.

"Soon Felix...Really very soon." She diverted her gaze to the front, looking towards the lake which now changed into dark black with the moon over it.

"I hope everything will be fine."

He said before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep in her embrace, the moon shined over them brightly waiting for the sun to come up after a long interval of time...

┈────────┈ ⋅• ❀ •⋅ ┈────────┈

Everybody was paying for the scars given by their feelings bit by bit...

Indeed life was like the moon yet, covered with immense dark clouds...

Such a strange tale right? Every chapter uttered restlessness...

I know It's not easy to carry glass-like brittle dreams but without any fear of clashing? Surprisingly strange, isn't it?

There's always a light of hope but along with the fear of storm...

No matter what, it's possible that the light can blow off engulfing their hope in the darkness disappearing like vapour...

Hands were folded in only one prayer...

Only one wish...

Only one question...

Just when? When will the happiness come soaking them like rain...
