ZERO

Back when everything was normal and humans weren’t about to become extinct, you never had a say to who you married.

Luckily for me, I got to choose between the two oldest Basileus brothers, Rasmus and Niklaus.

I ended up choosing their youngest brother Ethan in the end since I fell deeply in love with him—but he wasn’t an option and he didn’t love me; and with Rasmus being in love with one of the few beautiful ladies in the village.

My only option was Niklaus.

The day we were supposed to wed, Noah, the Basileus’s uncle, did something to Niklaus which caused the wedding to be postponed…

A few centuries later.

Around the roaring 20’s I left that small town in Norway. Noah’s rage had only gotten worse, and my refusal in marrying him just added more fuel to the flames in his jealous heart. 

I even left my secret husband Fynn Gilbert behind, just three days after we found out we are expecting a child. 

My son, Fynn, named after his father. 

I left the man I truly loved because I was afraid of the monsters the whole Basileus family had become.

I knew deep down both our families wouldn’t forgive me, considering I left without bonding our two bloodlines together. 

I left at a time where I was needed most.

Now I’m cursed for it. 

Genevieve Basileus, an enchantress cursed my womb to bleed whenever there’s a seed planted within it. I was never to bear any children. 

I found out this when my husband Dani Yuri and I tried time after time to have a house full of children. Time after time I bled.

Then when I failed to return after that they cursed me to become something else entirely when the sun comes down.

A few decades later.

I’ve been wishing till dawn every single night that I wouldn’t do horrible and unspeakable things when the dark of night masks the earth. 

It drove my only child away, too scared to even come visit me. 

He has a wife now who has just given birth to a little baby girl, Kyliena Rose Yuri. 

My son tells me whenever he picks up my phone calls that I’ll never see him or my granddaughter. 

He blames this town my now husband and I call our home for the past twenty-eight years.

There’s not a day goes by that I wish he would change his mind.

Kyliena Rose Yuri, sixteen years young, and loving life. She was never really one for feeling like she fit in with anything or anyone, and as soon as she could she left her family home and leaving that massive ‘city of dreams’ she verbally called her home but her heart did not.

She longed for a change, a change her workaholic dad couldn’t give her, he didn’t want to anyway. He was a very successful doctor in a huge city; why would he want to leave? 

After one night when Kyliena’s boyfriend, Blake, tried to drug her drink, her father saw and beat Blake up badly which landed her dad in Jail for three months.

Kyliena was to spend those three months with her grandparents in North Cove, a small coastal town in Washington.
