The back of his hand met my face in a powerful slap and I could feel his sings scratch my skin as he withdrew his hand.
"Must you always embarrass me!" He screamed in my face as he seethed in anger. His chest heaved up and down as he tried to catch his breath.My cheek stung and my blood dribbled down my lip where I bit myself. It still hurts, even though I've endured his violent lashes for the past month but it still hurts.Damn."Honestly, how are you such a disobedient person fuck," he groaned as he pushed his fingers in his hair. "And look what you're wearing, I told you to wear a dress and you show up in pants? Pants!" He shouted as if the word were foreign in his mouth. "Fucking pants."He sighed as sat down on his chair. I bit the inside of my cheek and only stared at him. "What?" He snapped as he looked at me. "You don't have some smart ass response today?" He asked and I kept quiet."Fuck off," he waved his hand and"Why is that still in you?" Evan asked as he bit into his apple, his eyes stared daggers into my belly, and I rolled my eyes as I sat in front of him."What is still in me?" I asked calmly, and he raised his eyebrow, a smirk forming on his lips. "Well, whatever," he shrugged as if he was being helpful in his suggestion. "I was trying to save you from the work, but I guess you like it.""What work?" I asked as I sipped my juice. Evan laughed as he put his feet on the table, everyone around the table; Sani and Kye stared at his feet disturbed. "Put your feet down," I snapped annoyed. "Okay mother," he said as he put down his feet. "Anyway, I need you to go back to work," he said and I looked up from my plate with my eyebrow raised."I thought you were handling it just fine.""I am handling it just fine, but if I continue handling it just fine the pack will be broke," he said as if it wasn't his fault the pack was losing money.
"So, I heard the news," Evander said as he leaned against my desk, I looked up at the heaps of mess he made in the few months he has been here annoyed. "What news?" I grunted as I made notes. "That you know where Lunaria is or where her temple is, the sooner you point it out for us, the quicker we can get out of your hair," he smiled and I raised my eyebrows."And then that's it?" I asked as I put down my phone. "Then you'll be gone forever and my husband will magically appear because you found the temple?" I want to know more of his plan."Of course, using Mt'Ilo I could summon your husband's spirit back into his body and he'll be restored as one," he smirked as if he was being totally convincing."Why are you looking for Mt'Ilo? What are you trying to revive?" I crossed my arms over my chest and Evan clenched his jaw and exhaled."I don't think you're allowed to ask me that just yet, you have no pow-""Why are you lo
I pace around my office as I'm waiting for Evander, my stomach is tied in knots and I feel as if I'm about to pass out. Maybe this approach was too drastic for me. Perhaps I'm going way over my head, will I really be able to make contact with the other gods just by touching Miall?Should I perhaps come clean and tell him I was just pretending to be Lun? But if I do that then the results will be devastating, oh God what should I do?I nervously chew on my finger nail as I'm buried deep in thought, please God and every higher being, allow me to make contact with the gods or Ylil at least! "Amanah - oh I mean Lun, it's all ready," Evander said as he pushed his hands inside his pockets. "Let's go."I hope I don't pass out.Following Evander closely, I see that he's leading us to the last level of the council building, is that where he keeps Miall? Staring hard at his back, I exhale and cross my arms over my chest and rais
Ylil paced around her room muttering incoherent words under her breath, she stood in front of her window and stared at the never-ending green fields filled with spring. "It's about to hatch," she whispered as she leaned against the window; she stared at the tree filled with ripened fruit eggs. "Wasn't expecting it to happen so soon.""Ylil?" Miall's voice called out for her outside her room, he raised his fist to knock on the panelled white door, but it was opened before his contact. "Yes?" Ylil mustered up a bright smile as she stared at Orion's shell. "How can I help you?" "I wanted to check up on you. You seemed distraught that Amanah was here just like last time?" He asked as he entered the room, keeping his distance. "That wasn't Amanah," Ylil's doe eyes stared into Miall's desperately, she needs him to believe him. "Just as you're Orion's host, she's Lunaria's. However, Lunaria isn't as kind as Orion," she sighed as she sat on t
"Trust you?" Evander scoffed as he crossed his arms over his chest; I had just finished explaining the situation to him, or at least what I thought the plan should be. "Why?"Two months had already passed since I visited the sanctuary, and since then, I've felt more of a connection with Lunaria, but sometimes I feel dread- which is way heavier than her anger. She still doesn't talk to or reveal herself to me, although it does feel like we are in sync regarding our emotions and thoughts. "I have to tell you something," I got up from my chair, my butt was starting to feel numb, and my legs were going dead. "Remember when I asked to see Miall two months ago- I was pretending to be Lunaria," I whispered. Evander clenched his jaw, and I flinched, ready to raise my hands and protect myself; even though he hasn't harmed me physically since we confirmed my pregnancy, he has uncontrollable anger issues, which might piss him off. He took a deep breath an
"What do you drink or eat?" I asked the goddess as I sat down. "Oh no, I'm fine thank you," she said softly. "How far along are you?" She pointed to my belly and my finger unconsciously softly patted the sides of my belly."Halfway through four months," I answered as I cocked my head to the side. "I feel like I know you from somewhere?" She cracked an uncomfortable smile and scooted forward in her seat. "That's because we've met before, in the sanctuary? You visited a few times." "I did?" I whispered confused. "Yes, mostly to visit Miall. You don't remember?" "I- I don't know," I breathed out as I tried to rummage through my memories. "I always thought they were just dreams whenever I'd see Miall and cling onto him crying desperately," I snorted as I felt my heart anxiously beat. "So that was real huh?""Yes, but since it wasn't safe for you in your condition I had to kick you out a few times. I hope you don't find
I sat on the bed with Miall and my eyes felt itchy and painful. Must be from all the crying. "Are you okay?" I whispered as I pushed his hair back. "Did it hurt a lot? Were you scared?" I asked as I held his hand. "Tell me everything." "I'm okay, are you fine? Did he hurt you? How are our children? Are they safe? Is mom safe?" "Everyone is okay and safe. You know you can't meet them until the fight right?" I asked as I scooted closer to him. "Do you feel okay? Are you dizzy?" "Amanah, baby. I'm fine. I'm here, with you. So I'm good. It's me baby," he smiled gently as he pressed our joined hands to his lips. But it's not really you. Something's missing in you. A big piece of you is gone. I pressed my lips against his and sighed, yes I have to believe this is him so they can believe it's him as well. "I'm so happy you're here," I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I'm so glad." "Yes, I'm here to save you al
Facing the area where Miall and Evander where in, my heart raced and my palms felt sweaty. As much as I know that Miall has been favoured by the gods, can he really do it without Orion?Orion... I miss him. It feels like it's the first time in a while I'm thinking about him. Is he healing the correct way? Are they taking care of him? I'm sure they would, they all once ruled Nioz together. "What are you thinking about?" Mom asked as she drew me out of my thoughts. "They're about to start, Miall needs your support more than ever right now," she whispered as she held my hand gently. Nyleve has never once spoken about Evander every time I was with her, it's as if he never existed to her. Any mother could see she worried for him as well but I guess the hurt had cut too deep for her to even want to consider him as her son anymore. What is the history? Evander seemed to be saying a few words to Miall, probably a means to rile him up, however
