As soon as Petl shut the door to her house, she pulled off the cloak she was wearing and dumped it on a sofa in her sitting room. She was apprehensive. Now that she had accomplished all that she had planned, she knew that a grave mistake had been made. In less than two hours time, the whole estate would be alerted about the death of Vera and investigations would be conducted immediately. And Petl, being the head of the investigation team, was going to conduct it from the beginning to the end. She paced about the room, confused about what to do. If she decided to dismiss other coroners with the excuse of taking up the investigation herself, everyone would be suspicious. Her heart beat real fast as time ran. She was sure that the perpetrator would be found and no matter what her explanation was, the estate was going to execute her. And even if Lucian and the other cabinet members could stop it, the whole pack was going to go against it and that meant war and rebellio
When they passed by him, Petl stared at him longingly. Tears brimmed in her eyes. Lucian heaved a breath and sighed. There was nothing he could do than wait till it was time to know if her case would be taken up to the universal council. Lucian knew Felix was going to be at his girlfriend's home. They'd reconciled and he'd promised to make her breakfast and serve her in bed for one month. So, when he knocked on Aliyah's door and no reply came, he drowned the moans coming from her room and yelled; "Vera is dead and Petl has been arrested for murder of two!" In less than two minutes, the door was pulled open with force and for a moment, both of the men now staring at each other with wide eyes thought the door was going to come off its hinges. Not surprised. Lucian wasn't surprised that Felix was already fully dressed when moments before, all to be heard were moans of pleasure. "You just said Vera is dead and Petl has been arrested for murder
When Nora returned from her walk, she found the house empty and she wondered where Augustus had gone. She wasn't tired like she used to be each time she took a walk to clear her head. She was really feeling different. She decided to prepare a lunch of lasagna for Augustus. That was his favorite dish and she hoped it softened his bad mood. She really missed the fun Augustus she had been living with for weeks. So, she went to the kitchen, prepared pasta and made sauce. This was going to be fun and she was glad that she was a good cook. She couldn't bear watching Augustus' mood spoil further because of her bad food. Thirty five minutes later, she was done baking. She set the dish in a flask to keep it hot, in case Augustus returned home late. So, Nora waited. Nora waited for hours and when Augustus returned in the evening, she stood up and welcomed him with a hug which he accepted with all gladness. He wrapped his arms around her waist and squeezed her, sighing he
Lucian groaned as he slowly opened his eyes to a strange environment. Everywhere was pitched dark but due to his extraordinary vision he could still see a bit of his surroundings.He could see he was in a small, unkempt room with little furniture that had no windows which could explain why it was so dark.Everything seemed strange to him and he had this blankness and strange feeling of weakness.Where was he?He tried getting up but it was an impossible task as something was preventing him from getting up.What?Glancing down at himself Lucian realized he was tied firm to a chair with layers upon layers of thick ropes and immediately his face tightened into a frown.He was being held hostage. Who would dare?!He was still blank as to how he got here but soon enough he started to remember.The Market.... The River.... The pretty demon lady....and then the four men.One of them drugged him with the poisonous dart. Lucian grew agitated, he wanted to kill those men for what they had done
“..so why don't we bury the hatchet?"Lucian finished giving his brief but heartwarming speech and the men glanced at each other when he was done and for a moment there Lucian thought perhaps his words had touched their hearts and they had a change of heart. However their outburst of laughter removed any such thoughts from his head.”Hahaha..."The men had a hard hearted laugh that lasted close to a minute causing Lucian to feel irritated.“Really? Did you expect we would just forgive you and make peace with you and your race just like that? Then you are stupider than I have imagined." The ugliest of the men spoke mockingly and that resulted in a frown on Lucian's face.“Really stupid I must say." The shortest said.”An uncultured, savage race ruled by a stupid king what a useless people." The tallest of the men said and that seemed to anger Lucian the most.“You will show my people respect!" Lucian shouted in a deadly voice, his breath were like flames.If only his hands were freed
The search for Lucian began as the king had kept to his words and began his search. Damon on the other hand wasn't patient enough so he assisted the king. All their efforts seemed to be in vain as they didn't get any sign of Lucian.Meanwhile at the cave Lucian was kept hostage."Take two steps away from him now or you will get it" the beautiful female demon said as she came into the cave.Lucian couldn't see her face until she got close to where he was."And who are you to tell us what to do?" The eldest of the men asked."Who I am should be the least of your worries. Just drop the rod and move away" the demon lady spoke again."And if we refuse" the shortest said as he turned to look at her while trying to frighten her.The beautiful female demon just smiled as she told them "if I were you I would run". The humans proved stubborn as they refused to leave, they tried to stand up to her.Before they could comprehend what was going on, one of them began to burn. The others became frig
“My Lord," Lucian heard a familiar voice say as he gradually woke up from his subconscious state.Slowly opening up his eyes, he looked up at the figure who was standing above him and he recognized his face as that of his personal guard and friend, Damon.“How are you feeling, My Lord?" Damon asked again with a look showing concern though Lucian knew Damon was trying his best to hide it.“Where am I?" Lucian found his words coming out slowly. He was still feeling a bit weak from the poison.“You are in the human king's palace, My Lord."Damon said and Lucian picked out the fact that Damon intentionally refused to address the place as home.“What happened?" Lucian said as he tried to sit up properly on the bed.“I don't know my Lord, you were missing for a whole day. I was hoping you will be able to give us some information about who abducted you." Damon said.“I was missing?" Lucian asked, trying to remember what exactly happened.“Yes, my Lord. Don't you remember?" Damon said with a
Lucian took his time to study the body of his beautiful wife, she looks ravishingly beautiful he thought and he couldn't really wait to devour every part of her but today he wants to take his time to enjoy her like it would be his last.“You are really beautiful, wife." His words were soft and genuine causing a happy, shy smile to form on the face of Anna.“You are beautiful too," she said as they locked eyes together in a blazing gaze that set their very souls and heart in flames.A soft smile touched Lucian's lips, he really loves the fact that she called him beautiful. Nobody had called him beautiful before. Handsome, yes but never beautiful. He likes the sound of it especially coming from her, his love and wife.For this he is going to give her the most pleasurable feeling she has ever felt in her life tonight, he made a promise to himself.Bringing his face down to hers, he brushed his lips gently against hers, teasingly causing a sweet wave of current to pass from his lips to he
