Chapter: Chapter One Hundred Twenty FourNaomi's PovLucian had gotten a call from Bruno's brother the next day, and he had accepted that they would give Bruno a befitting funeral, which Lucian had started making arrangements for. He had told his brother to inform their families and friends, including the people that Bruno had worked for. Lucian made sure that he had chosen one of the best cemeteries in the country, and had made sure he was able to buy a building solely dedicated to Bruno for being a hero and saving his life.As Lucian did this, it seemed like he felt a form of unease wash away, and he was able to breathe again. Before this time, he had always felt a pang of guilt and anything he slept. He had always seen Bruno in the dark pleading to him for help, but there was absolutely nothing that Lucian couldn't save him any longer. At times, Lucian told me that there were cases where he had forgotten that Bruno was dead.To fulfill his promise, Lucian made sure that he did everything possible to give Bruno a befittin

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred And Twenty ThreeLucian's PovTravis and I had sat down in the sitting room as we talked about the fact that Bruno's brother had started searching for him.He only knew that his brother imported goods from other countries, but they didn't know who exactly he worked for. He had noticed that his brother hadn't been picking up his calls for days, and he decided to search for him.Travis explained that his brother had sat at the building where Bruno used to work to look for him and search around to see if anyone knew the whereabouts of Bruno.He wasn't aware of everything that had happened that night, but he knew that something bad had happened to Bruno.I couldn't hide my sounds as I stared at Travis. I didn't know if it was right to just go ahead and inform him that Bruno was dead, but I didn't know if that was the best thing to do. I didn't know how his brother was going to receive the news, but it wouldn't be nice to watch him all day coming to the building to search for Bruno, even though we knew tha

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred And Twenty TwoAlexander Pov“I hope you had a nice time with your sister,” I asked, staring at Laura, who sat in one of the guest rooms.Just as I had instructed Madonna not to take her back to the cages, she needed to be fed well and cleaned well, so that in the coming days she would still look presentable to the buyer. “Yes, I did,” she responded as a tear escaped her eyes. “So why then do you still cry ?,” I asked as I moved closer to her. “I do not want to be sold anymore, I just want to be with my sister,” Laura said as she knelt down beside me. “What's all of this, you do not dictate if you are being sold or not. " I decided that, and nothing or no one counters my word. " There's nothing you can do about it, Laura, you can't change a thing, like I said, but you are here to fetch me some handsome money”, I responded as I stared at her.“I beg you, she is scared, she doesn't want me to leave,” she said as she pleaded for mercy.“I think I made the mistake of making you see her the other nig

Chapter: Chapter One And Twenty OneNaomi PovLucian opened his eyes slowly as he stared around. He had another nightmare. This had been Constance ever since he got back that night. He had always seen Bruno whenever he slept in pain, crying out to me to help him, but every time he tried to help him, he just disappeared into the air. He sat up on the bed and stared around the room. It was morning again, but I could see how he couldn't stop thinking about all that had happened two days ago. It felt like it was real every time he thought about it.Travis knocked on the door as he walked into Lucian's room, where I stood close to him. He bowed his head as he greeted him before moving close to Lucian. “How are you feeling today master,” Travis asked with a smile on his lips.“I am very much better, thank Travis,” Lucian said, smiling at him. “I am glad you are getting better, sir,” he said with a smile on his face.“What about Marcus?” I asked, turning to him. “Marcus is good too, it's just that he is still a bit too we

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Alexander's PovMadonna climbed up the stage majestically as she swayed her waist, seductively revealing her butts to the crowd. She then handed the documents to me on stage.I smiled, looking at Madonna. She must have thought that she was part of the girls that wanted to be sold off tonight,However, I knew her too well. She was indirectly scanning the room for a potential customer that would go down with her after the auction this morning. I grabbed the documents and lifted them up, showing the entire people in the crowd how authentic my document was.They all cheered on as they began to clap their hands loudly, no jokes. They were enjoying it all.I returned my gaze to the buyers again as I smiled, “This document, you should go through it, and sign under the category that you have fallen under,” I said, smiling widely.One of my subjects collected it from me and handed it to the man who wanted to buy Laura and Naomi for thirty million dollars.As soon as he was given the document

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred And NineteenLucian's PovAccording to what Naomi had told me, she had revealed that Travis had struggled to carry me on his back and as soon as he got to the bedroom, he dropped on the bed. Naomi also explained that she was in my room searching for some things when Travis dropped me on the bed. I knew she must have run quickly and held one so tight.It was exactly two hours since I was unconscious. I still laid on the bed without moving my body. Suddenly, I opened my eyes, and screamed out loud as I raised my head.I wasn’t in a coma, but I had still not slept like that for years, and it felt like as soon as my eyes opened, there was something that changed inside of me.My eyes darted around the room and began to pant out loudly. This was exactly when I literally saw the faces of the people that were around me. Most likely, I was able to recognize Travis and Naomi. “You should calm down Lucian,” Naomi said as she moved closer to me.Although I couldn't hear them well, it seemed like I was begin

Chapter: Chapter Seventy FourLuna's PovI looked up to see a lady who looked to be slightly older than I was, with long, smooth, and straight brown hair falling to her hips. She was dressed in a short satin nightgown with spaghetti straps, and looked alluring and beautiful in every way. Nikkie took my hand, pulling me closer to him.“Who are you?” Nikkie asked, and she took a few steps back, shy. Her voice sounded hoarse, like she hadn't conversed in ages. “I'm not here to harm you. You're here because you're running from the inhabitants of the realm of mirrors, right?” She asked, still retreating like she was trying to show us she wasn't going to attack us. “Who told you that?” Nikkie asked. “They came earlier, asking about humans who deceived them, and were up to no good.”“What do you want from us?” I asked, with distrust fixed in my eyes. “We can give you a space to stay, eat, and drink, and if you are moving on from here, we have a direct portal we can give to you.” Her green eyes bounced from me to Ni

Chapter: Chapter Seventy ThreeKeira's Pov“Okay. Here goes nothing.” I laid my hands on the side of the cube to take it off, but instead of coming off, it opened up slowly like a box to my touch. Excitement ran through me, and I placed my hands into the box. Man, it was so warm! So warm that I wanted to leave my fingers in it to feel the warmth for a longer period of time. Then I took the bottle, and unscrewed the cork. The golden liquid twisted within it beautifully, as if it was calling, beckoning me to open it. Finally, I tipped my head back and let the liquid gush on my tongue, heading down my throat. Jeez, it was nothing but bliss. The sweetness was something I'd never tasted before, and I would have gulped it all down if not for Maini.‘Stop. Is it some fruit juice given to you by your maid?’ I took it down, and corked the bottle, swallowing till there was not even the taste of it to swallow. “What next?” ‘Return it.’“Don't you think Luna will need it?”If her room happened to be searched, what misfor

Chapter: Chapter Seventy TwoLuna's Pov“Elaine!” I called in a sharp whisper, only to hear a shout that sounded very much like someone jumping. Bundling Elaine in my arms, I placed both arms protectively over her head and rolled us into the large hole she'd almost fallen into. It took a great effort to mute my winces as we hit stone after stone, before finally crashing below at the bottom. And then, with her against me, I heard the soft thump of her heart. She was still alive. Oh, thank goodness. She only fainted. With the sound of my own heart beating in my head, I heard the serious rustle of the trees as the creatures jumped the same way we had watched, and soon I heard the sounds of them landing. It was dark, and we were covered. Hopefully, they will not see us. “Find them!” I heard their leader shout, before the sound of their feet terrorized the whole place once again, as they ran past.It took a while before the sound of their feet was finally swallowed in echoes. “Hey, are you okay?” I sat up, pushin

Chapter: Chapter Seventy OneKeira's PovDid I hear right? My eyeballs were shaking even as I stared into the darkness.If he said there were a hundred ways to die, then that meant they would try to murder me!These people had no connection to Valerie whatsoever. They were another threat waiting for me to slink into the shadows.They wanted to put their own daughters on the throne, and eliminate me. Valerie also wanted to eliminate the real Luna, and put herself on the throne. Just how many people would do anything to eliminate me!?“How are you planning to do it?” One of the men asked, “The Luna is quite strong.”“Ha. If she does not consume contaminated food or drink, then she could definitely fall from the second landing to the first. If she does not fall, then she can drown in her bathtub when she falls asleep. If she doesn't fall asleep, then she can be pricked by a claw containing poison while walking through the crowded halls. If that doesn't happen, there is the Luna's duel. A slash can contain the deadli

Chapter: Chapter SeventyLuna's Pov“Are there any more of these cloaks?” Nikkie asked, raising the supposed cloak that would make him invisible. “I don't have any anymore, but you should be fine.”“Did anyone see you helping me out? Coming to see me.” “The King would kill me if he knew I allowed you to see your friend, so I was very discreet.”“Then Suren, is it okay if I took my friend along with me?”The pink girl's eyes widened. “The… the whole palace would be in an uproar.”“That's in the morning if they notice. Nobody will connect you to it. " What did your King wish to do with her, and when do you think he would do it?”“He wants her to be his meal. We don't grow or look healthy unless we take human meat and blood. No matter how much we eat animal meat, and meals gotten from the human world, we can never look malnourished. The King's case is worse. He would never grow unless he consumed human meat, and it has been so long since humans wandered here. " He will be so furious if he finds out that the m

Chapter: Chapter Sixty NineKeira's PovThe room was utterly silent as Zane left. Already dressed like this. How could he suddenly say he wanted me to stay away from the ball? Just how could I?‘Search Zane's room.’ Came Maini’s order coolly, and my eyes went wide. Was that why she had no qualms about not going to the ball?“What if he comes back and finds me searching?”‘Simple. You're a paranoid Luna, searching her mate's stuff for hidden hints of him eyeing another woman wanting to dethrone her. That's very simple.’“You know Zane won't believe that. He already suspects me, and won't take this lightly.”‘I don't see why you should be scared. Will he murder you if he finds you browsing through his stuff?’I took a deep breath of frustration, and looked around. “Fine. I'll start with his drawers.”My feet took me to his chest of drawers, where I went on one knee, pulling them open, ruffling through them. “Paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwork. " What else?” I asked, as I searched under the bed, checked the
