"Iris, What happened?" Eros asked her with worry. By now, she is considerably better than a few minutes ago. Away from all the prying eyes, she is feeling safe in his arms. But her fear of the unknown is like a constant reminder of what she did and the Nephilim. "I broke his arm" she confessed softly. Eros frowned. "Who's?" he asked casually, not at all making it look like a huge thing. When he asked like that, Iris relaxed even more. "Ojas" she replied. Eros began to laugh at her confession. "Really? Serves him right for forcing us to come this far away from the palace" he said and chuckled with amusement. This is not how Iris imagined him to react. So she lifted her head from between the juncture of his shoulder and neck to look at him with surprise. His amusement helped her to lessen her fear a little. When Eros saw how quietly Iris is looking at him, he grinned and kissed both her cheeks fondly. "You are scared about that silly thing? My brave Iris is actually scared?
In the Were Palace, Eros, Iris, Thomas, and Ojas along with a handful of guards reached the Palace. By the time they returned, it was early morning hours. The sun is yet to rise from the east. It's still a little darker. But still, the palace is bustling with people who look busy with something or the other. They are surprised to find the entire Palace lit with bright lights and well decorated with flowers and some expensive showpieces as if they are welcoming their king back after his victory over the Golem. "Do they already know that you are coming back to the palace?" Iris, who is sitting on the horse in front of Eros asked him quietly. Eros is confused as well. He specifically ordered his warriors and Dimitri not to inform about his return to anyone in the palace. But the decorations and the lively palace are not what he was expecting to find. "I don't think so" he murmured with a frown. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he is sensing that something is wrong here. The tr
Iris is frustrated. Instead of stopping his finance's marriage, Eros is waiting for her to marry someone else. She is not understanding why he is doing this."Are you heartbroken? Is that why you are behaving as if you don't care whom she gets married to? Do you want me to go talk to her? I don't have a very good opinion about Mina, but she is your fiancee. You must have seen something in her which made you to choose her. You have known that woman for a few years now. You must have grown attached to her. I can understand it must be hard for you to accept the fact that she is marrying someone else. I will go and tell her that you came back. She will stop this wedding" Iris suggested to help Eros. She turned away from him to go find Mina and stop her wedding. But Eros stopped her by pulling her back to him by her wrist."No need. Let it happen" he murmured nonchalantly.Iris glared at him. "Are you nuts? Is this how a heartbroken man acts and behaves in this world? I am willing to hel
In the Were palace prison cell, Ojas released his gas and made all the guards unconscious. He is controlling the strength of his gas, so he can target individuals rather than the whole group. As per the instructions given to him by Eros, he came here to fetch Maxim and the ministers who are imprisoned for their loyalty. Eros even instructed Ojas to bring his aunt and his stepmother Tasha out of the prison as well. That surprised Ojas. He never thought Eros would release Tasha so soon. But he is not complaining either. Knowing about Eros, that Were king has something going on in his mind.One after another all the guards have done down. Finally, when Ojas located the cell where Maxim and the others have been held, he knocked on the iron doors to catch their attention."We don't want food. Go away" Maxim snapped angrily. The guards are loyal to Maxim as he is their general. But they are as helpless as the others. They cannot go against the throne, so they had to keep their general impri
After the long speech of the royal mother is completed, Eros walked out from among the crowd and began to clap his hands loudly.Everyone began to look at the peasant among them with curiosity.The newly wedded couple and the royal mother are angry. Gonzalo who was seen happy during his daughter's wedding ceremony is now looking grim. The few ministers who stood supporting Waldo as their new king are annoyed by the peasant's actions."Hey, this is the tough time for the royal family. They are not ready to talk to anyone. Please respect their wishes. Go and join the others on the right side" one of the guards suggested, trying to make the man understand that it's not a good idea to engage with the royal family now."Lady Iris is gracing the royal court with her presence" one of the guards near the doors announced the arrival of Iris.No one knows where Iris disappeared to. Maxim told everyone that she went to visit her family. Everyone thought that she might not come back again. Mina a
Dorothea is standing near the Throne and looking at Eros with astonishment. Waldo helped the Golem to kidnap the Were warriors and passed on information about when and how Eros was coming to the northern borders. When they didn't receive any message from Eros even after a week of his departure, she believed that he is killed. No one knows that Waldo helped the Golem men, except her. Gonzalo wanted power and Mina wanted to become the Queen. Mina likes Eros, but her dream of becoming a queen overshadowed her love for Eros. Dorothea made Gonzalo an offer. If he agrees to support Waldo as the next king, then she promised that his daughter would become the Queen and he would be given an important place in the royal court. He agreed easily and supported Waldo. They easily squashed the voices of the few loyal ministers and Maxim and confined them to the prison cell. Since the moment she became the concubine of the late king, all Dorothea ever dreamed about is having the ultimate power
Dorothea is desperate now. For years she hid her true colours and pretended to be kind and helpful. No one could manage to expose her. Tasha tried, but she was sent to prison. But today everything has gone down with one wrong move. She was caught red-handed in a situation from which she is not sure she could come out of."It's alright if you don't like Mina. You can choose anyone you want. You like that human right? You can marry her if you want" Dorothea is trying to bribe Eros. Iris found Dorothea's offer funny. A giggle slipped past her lips which she couldn't stop.Eros turned to look at the woman who became special to him in only a few weeks. His face is still ice cold. But his eyes held warmth for her.'If I could, I would definitely marry you and make you my mate. But we are literally worlds apart and you have to go back to where you came from. You will be safe there' he thought feeling bitter.He nodded his head, indicating Iris to come towards him. He stood up from his thron
After the incident with Waldo, Iris expressed her wish to return to the imperial palace and rest. Eros agrees and she is escorted back by Thomas. In the royal court, Gonzalo and the other ministers who supported the coronation of Waldo were punished. They were removed from their post as royal ministers. Under the circumstances that if a king goes missing for more than a few days, a search party should be deployed in search of the missing king. But instead of that, they declared him dead and went on with their plan to choose another king in his place. That is a crime punishable by ten years of a prison sentence. It is considered treachery against the crown.As Dorothea is a family member and the royal mother, Eros couldn't punish her out of respect for his father. So he would only distance himself from her and make sure that she never interfere with the royal affairs ever again."Everyone who supported the coronation of Waldo is deployed from their employment" Maxim announced loudly.
After one month... Samael declared that the Nephilim will never harm the Skipper seers again. Everyone heard about how he helped the Skipper princess to kill his evil father. That news spread like wildfire all among the supernatural beings. The remaining Skipper seers who managed to hide and save their lives for this longer came out of their hiding. They are not many, but it's a start. They approached the Skipper princess, who is also the queen of the Were kingdom. Eros gave them permission to stay in the Were kingdom if they doesn't want to go back to the Seer world. As their princess is living in the Were kingdom, they preferred to live there as well. Samael became sensible and completely changed himself. His mistakes made him realize what is right and what is wrong. He is now trying to become a great ruler, unlike his predecessor. He also formed a good bond with Iris and Eros never objected to his presence in the Were kingdom. Especially after how he saved Iris and the others fr
Asael's Nephilim is huge. He is the biggest Nephilim no one has ever seen. The rain of arrows showering over him is making little to no difference at all on the Nephilim giant. He began to move closer to the Nephilim palace, each step is shaking the ground violently. The tremors caused by his footfalls make all the shifters go off balance. Some of the warriors lost their hold on their bows and arrows, while the others began to fall down and is having a hard time getting back on their feet. "Shit, he is coming closer. He can destroy the palace as easily as he squashes a bug" Ojas muttered as panic and uncertainty began to bubble inside all of them.Iris and Eros are worried. For the first time, Iris began to fear her life.'What if I lose my life today? Can Eros survive the loss of his other half?' She wondered.She saw how Eros moved a little so that he is standing right in front of her. He is making sure to protect her life with his. She saw how all the warriors are scared, but how
In the Were kingdom, before Eros, Iris, Maxim and Ojas could go inside the palace after sending off Samael, another portal opened a little farther away from the palace."Shit, he is coming" Maxim is the first person to notice the portal, alerting Eros and Iris."Maxim, tell our warriors to take positions" Eros instructed.A soldier brought a bow and arrows to Iris. She is wearing a tight black corset over a black t-shirt, with a black breach with boots. Adalwolf recommended this to her when she insisted upon taking part in the fight against Asael.While Eros has his claws drenched in blood along with his sabres and hidden knives."Ojas, go and inform Emanuel. We need weapons drenched in the blood of my father and grandmother. What we have now will only work on the Nephilim Soldiers. We need a stronger potion to kill Asael. Hurry" Iris urged Ojas, who ran to inform the same to Emanuel. In the royal facility, both Emanuel and Adalwolf are tense. Just then Ojas came to inform them about
"I understood that I cannot find peace until my killer is punished " she said sadly. Samael became sad. "Forgive me, mother. I couldn't save you from him" he apologised with grief and regret. She lovingly ruffled his hair. "You were a little boy yourself. I never held it against you that you didn't step in. In fact, I was happy that you are safe. My only regret was that he made you hate me. I couldn't bear to see your hatred directed against me son. But now I am happy that you regained your memories. Now I can be at peace that you would avenge my death" she said softly. Samael leaned into her touch like he is the same little boy when he lost his mother. She caressed her son with love and affection. She healed all of his wounds. Just then they heard voices from outside the room. Samael looked at the door with a frown. "Son, you go back to the Were kingdom. Here, take this" she told him with urgency and handed over a vile to him. But Samael is not willing to part ways with hi
Eros looked at Iris who nodded her head. He is silently asking her what to do. She nodded and conveyed to him that she wants to help Samael. The son of Asael knows everything about his father and even his weakness. She is sure he would help them to kill the Nephilim lord.When their goals are the same, why not help each other?"You need our help? You are alone against your father and hundreds of Nephilim soldiers. You tried to kill your father but failed. Now you are a runaway convict who is wanted by your father along with my mate." Eros summarized Samael's present condition.Samael nodded, accepting everything the Were king stated."Alright, we are ready to help you. But you cannot stay inside this palace. This place is warded against the Nephilim. Moreover, if you stay in the Were world for much longer, you will die from excessive bleeding. You need to heal yourself. I suggest you go back to the Seer world and heal your wounds before coming here again. I don't think it would take m
In the Were kingdom, Eros, Adalwolf, Iris, Emanuel, Maxim, and Ojas are devising a plan to face Asael, who is going to attack the Were palace soon."It's been one full day from the time we escaped from the Seer world. I am sure Asael would have already found out that Iris is missing. It will not take him much time to find out where she is. So he is going to come after her sooner" Adalwolf shared his opinion.Eros is feeling the same way."What you said is right, grandfather. He was searching for Iris for years now. He will not be quiet after learning that she escaped from his clutches once again. He is going to come soon. He will not relax until he kills her" he said with the knowledge he gained from the book he read about Asael.Adalwolf and the others frowned at his words. Eros is speaking as if he knows everything about the former Nephilim lord."How do you know that he was searching for her for years?" Adalwolf questioned.Eros sighed. He did not get time to share about where he l
"Son, I think you have been influenced by someone against me. That is why you are placing these kinds of blame against me. This is not right" he said patronizingly. The Nephilim soldiers who work for Samael remembered how the Were king insisted about Asael killing his wife. They are stuck in confusion. They cannot understand if what he said is true or was he influencing Samael. Samael snorted sarcastically. "Who will influence me against you father? Everyone detests me as much as they detest you. You deserve the hatred you are getting, but i don't. All i did wrong was blindly trusting in you. I thought i am avenging for the loss you experienced after losing my mother. I really believed that the Skipper king eloped with my mother. They were times when i struggled to hate my mother for what she did to you, but failed. Deep down my heart knows she is innocent, that's why i couldn't hate her. It's you whom i should detest for what you did" he said sadly. All the soldiers began to susp
Samael went to the tower where Asael is in, with his full army. He knows how strong Asael is and how hard it would be to defeat him. But still, Samael didn't back up. He declared war against his father, and he is going to fight until the end. The Nephilim soldiers who are guarding the tower notice Lord Samael coming toward the tower with his army. "It's lord Samael. Inform our lord Asael about his arrival" one of the Nephilim soldiers alerted the other soldier, who rushed inside the tower to inform the same to Asael. "Lord Samael is coming this way" the Nephilim soldier Informed Asael's right-hand man, who frowned. "Lord Samael is coming now? Why?" he wondered out loud. Despite his doubt, he still informed Asael about Samael's arrival. "What? Samael is coming? Let's go" Asael murmured and he walked out of the tower to greet his son. But when he saw that his son is coming with his full army, he frowned. 'Am I imagining this or is Samael looking really angry?' he thought to himse
In the Seer world, Samael declared war against his father and the killer of his mother Asael. Surprisingly, all of his soldiers are on his side. For some reason, they never liked Asael that much. So when Samael revealed that Asael is the one who killed his mother and he is making them kill the poor Skipper seers for his sins, they all became disturbed. Nephilim's are giants and are stronger species. But no one wants to kill others for nothing. Moreover, the task of hunting and killing the Skipper seers is not easy. It's tiring and that would keep the Nephilim soldiers away from their families for months and sometimes even years. So many people suffered because of some selfish reasons of their previous lord. So they decided to end everything by killing Asael. He is powerful and an old Nephilim. The Nephilim's grow their strength as they grow older. In that aspect, Asael is more powerful than the rest of them. But still, Samael wants to kill him no matter what. On the other hand, in
