Chapter: CHAPTER 9Xavier... "-We didn't know she would freak out like that." Anessa tries to reason. I had already scolded them before but Anessa kept pressing the matter of me being overprotective and Possessive of Meave. Of course I'm that way. She's my everything. All I live for."She wanted answers. We only wanted to help her." She argues."Look where that got you! My mate has being lying on that bed unconscious for the past Two days! Two days!" I bark angrily waving two fingers in the air for emphasis."I'm Sorry Xavier. I'm sorry and I understand wh-The death glare I sent her way shut her up immediately. "You do not Understand how I feel. You have not even a clue

Chapter: CHAPTER 8Meave... Within a couple days the sexual tension between Xavier and I had increased and was now undeniable. I rarely saw him some days and when I did it was only at the breakfast table or during Dinner. He hasn't mention anything to me about that dreadful night. He made it clear that Minotaur would want my head but since I'm still alive I'm pretty sure Xavier must have taken care of that. Meanwhile being alone so much was killing me. It gave me time to grieve and leaving guilt settle inside of me eating me up.I killed Katie.I killed My Blood. Which made me no better than My Grandmother. I dread sleeping because each time I have horrible nightmares about the night I killed Katie. Xavier must have felt my uneasiness which always ended with him appear

Chapter: CHAPTER 7Maeve... I did as Xavier ordered and went to shower. I don't know for how long I stood in front of the mirror staring at my naked self. My hands and face were covered with blood. People's blood. I felt horrible and Though I felt disgusted with myself for feasting on people like that, I enjoyed it and that's what scared me the most. So before I become a complete monster I decided not to feed anymore. It was better to bind my vampire side because I just cannot live with myself if I kill another person.As I stared at myself the strangest thing happened, My red hair turned back to it's natural silver white colour. That has to mean something. I'll have to ask Meryl later. I couldn't continue looking at myself like this so I got to the shower stepping under the spraying water w

Chapter: CHAPTER 6Xavier... I jerked awake. I hate it when I die. I don't feel anything then but when i resurrect the pain comes flooding in.Memories came flooding back in.Meave!I immediately got out of Bed and the first person my eyes land on is Maeve who is asleep on the couch in my bedroom. I take in her state. She looked a mess with the dried blood on her face, hands and clothes. Then why on earth did seeing her like his turn me on. Before I could stop myself I squatted beside her letting my fingers play with her hair. It's beautiful. She's beautiful."Xavier?" She asked softly slowly preying her eyes open and I got up. Standing upright. She surprised me by throwing hers

Chapter: CHAPTER 5Meave... "It's been two days and you haven't spoken a word to us. What happened?" I hear Katie say but I don't say anything. I simply turn away from her facing the wall. All curled up underneath the duvet."Meave." She calls out but I don't reply.She trys again and gets no reply from me."The blood moon is tonight. You should get ready." She tells me and left. I know that. I also know that I've been lied to and now I cannot trust anyone. Not Katie and most definitely not Fiona. She doesn't deserve to be called Grandma. The news had reached the media that Nathan Crest was injured so production has been postponed still he is better.The crew went back to LA which means I have no use here. I should just get myself out of here too but yet. Knowing th

Chapter: CHAPTER 4Xavier. "Dark Emperor, how can you be so sure that This Woman is your Mate? Remember she was declared dead." A council member said."Yes Emperor. If she is truly your Mate why make an appearance now and not years ago." Another member chipped in.A strange feeling filled me up and I immediately knew something was wrong.Xavier...Maeve's distressed voice filled my head. I abruptly got up from My chair forgetting that I was in a meeting. I smoke myself out of the room and ended up in Maeve's room.My eyes land on both Anessa and Meryl who both looked worried.

Chapter: TWENTY EIGHT~DAMI. Dera hadn’t come out of her room in hours. I had to call Seyi, Trisha and Seun to come over. I don’t know what I was expecting but I thought they could help someway. I explained everything to them and pleaded with Dera from the other side of the door but she didn’t say a word. It’s almost 11pm and I haven’t gotten a reply from her. At this point I was beyond scared of what she could be doing.“I should go up and check on her.” I suggest staring at the stairs.“Relax jor. I think we should just give her space. Banging on the door and yelling won’t get you anywhere.” Seun says surfing through the channels. Trisha was fast asleep on the couch with her head on Seun’s lap. I was getting the feeling they were sleeping together. Seyifunmi left few minutes ago, even while she was here she wasn’t much help because she kept reminding me I was stupid, I made mistake and I

Chapter: TWENTY SEVEN~DAMI. Rita had arrived on time but Dera was yet to come out of the bathroom and I was beginning to wonder if she was actually having her bath or packing her things to leave me.“Why did you even tell your wife?” Rita asked and I don’t spare her a glance as I’m staring at the staircase expectantly.“I couldn’t lie to her. She would have known.” I say.“If you’re that scared to lose her, why cheat in the first place.”“Trust me I haven’t regretted anything more in my life.” I get up on my feet already impatient. I decide to go check up on her. “Stay here and don’t touch anything.” I order before hurrying up the stairs to Dera’s room. I knock on the door but no one answers so I let myself in. I find Dera by her dresser just staring at herself in the mirror.“I’m scared of the truth.&

Chapter: TWENTY SIX~DERA. “What’s wrong?” I asked when I hear him curse continuously. I turn around to face him.“I didn’t use protection. I totally forgot. Fuck!” He exclaimed as he starts to fix himself up.I was taken aback by his exclamation but tried to hide my smile. “How is it you only remember that now.”He frowns. “You’re ok with it?”“Seyi put me on contraceptives ‘bout a week ago.” I inform him and he sighs in relief. “Are you scared of getting me pregnant?” I asked adjusting my nightgown to cover my ass.“I just got you to myself. I don’t want to share just yet. Besides, we have Damola.” He tells me as he fixes his tux.I nod. He didn’t say it but from what he just told me, I was getting the idea that he didn’t want any more children. After all, he has his heir. “You should get going

Chapter: TWENTY FIVE~DAMI. The alarm went off pulling me out of my slumber. Memories of last night flooded my head and I fought back the smiles that reach my lips. It finally registered that I had to go to work today as I had an important meeting with the shareholders. This meeting was initially for Monday which was the day after Dera’s birthday but there was no way I would leave her alone after what she went through. So rescheduled it for Tuesday but then I freaked out when I couldn’t find Dera that morning then the whole rape scandal came up and I rescheduled again so here we are. I smiled when I realized Dera was so thoughtful to set the alarm for me though I would have preferred it, if

Chapter: TWENTY FOUR~DERA. I must have cried myself to sleep because when I woke I’m lying on the cold tiled floor and my phone is ringing nonstop from somewhere in the living room. I find it underneath one of the couch pillows and I see thirteen missed call from Seyifunmi. Just when I’m about to call her back, I get an incoming message from her.I know you’re angry and upset that’s why you’re not picking up any of my calls but I need you to go online now and watch Dami live.

I decide to go online on Instagram and I indeed find that Dami is live so I decide to join.“-My Wife and I had a fight and I don’t expect her to be watching this

Chapter: TWENTY THREE~DERA. I woke up early enough to get away from the house before Dami woke up. I admit that since my birthday party I’ve been edgy and Dami hasn’t failed to notice since I’ve been drifting away from him again. I probably looked crazy standing by the shore in nothing but a pajama similar to my SpongeBob pajamas but was plain and pink. My initial plan was to have Tami drive me around since I had nowhere in particular to go, I just wanted to be alone and the beach is the best place to clear one’s head. Since the incident Dami hasn’t left me alone for a minute, he had become super protective of me and even missed work for just to stay in bed with me. We
