Lily was a terminally ill patient who clung to her life with all she had, desperately hoping she could change her fate, but fate can't be changed that easily.

Fate was... Set in stone.

And so, she died after fighting for fifteen years, at the age of 20, only to be reincarnated into a novel and became Lilah, who just so happens to be the unfortunate twin who would not live past 21.

It seemed like her fate was to suffer once more and die an early age.

After getting nothing but bullying for as long as she could remember in that household, Lilah expected nothing and knew her end was a dreadful one in the hands of the vampires. She did not fight fate anymore. 

It was more like she did not have the strength to.

But once they started to change out of the blue, showing her kindness and showering her with little affection, she began to feel her heart lighten up, and this built a shaky tower of hope in her heart.

Hope that maybe she wouldn't need to meet such a tragic fate in this life.

And that hope made her wish to live. She wanted to live. And she would, but all she had to do was run.

And she ran... Right into the arms of the Lycan King, who was meant to take her sister away and live a happily ever after with her. 

She was unaware of who he was at first. She could see his heart, which was purer than gold, and was captivated.

It was like love at first sight for her, and she surrendered to this man, pleading that he take her away so she would not end up with the same fate as the original character.

Will this chance encounter lead them to a happily ever after, blind Lilah never dreamed of? Or will it only spawn more troubles no one thought of?

"It's only a matter of time before everything falls into place."

"May I?" Lloyd asked after a moment, his tone polite as he requested to sit next to her.


At first, Lilah hesitated but then nodded faintly as she felt there was no harm. 


He sat beside her but not too close to create a misunderstanding if seen, and not too far to make it feel like he was being too wary.


For a while, neither of them spoke. The hush of the night wrapped around them was wrapped in the faint echoes from the palace halls, and wrapped in the soft panting of the hounds in the distance, and the faint rustle of the garden leaves.


It was awkward, yet not uncomfortable. Strangely enough, Lilah felt at peace. 


It was odd since this kind of peace... She had only ever known and felt it with Kael. Being in his arms, listening as he spoke words of comfort and little things that expressed his feelings so much louder than he displayed... She was feeling that kind of peace and comfort right now which made her quite uneasy.
