Darius, Lucian, and Lucifer made their way towards the arena where Odhan was being held.
Upon reaching the arena, they were surprised to see the dark creature sparring with Max.
The dark creature's body is marked with black ink all over his naked upper half. Those markings shine now and then. Whenever he received a blow from Max.
Max seems to be out for blood.
"Max doesn't seem to like Odhan" Lucifer comments with amusement.
"If we kill him today, then we don't have to bother with him being here" Lucian snickered.
"You guys are having too much fun at his expense," Darius said drily.
"Look at them, Max is using his all against that dark creature" Lucian pointed out.
The dark creature seems to be holding on his own against the warrior Angel.
Both are shirtless and fighting with their swords, steel clashing against steel. They attracted the attention of all the other shifters, Vampires, and demons present in the arena.
The war
"What have you done Baraka? You should not have risked like this" Odhan said with regret."I had to Odhan, your father is searching for you in the Shadowland. He thinks you are still there. He threw all your friends in the dungeon. But all of them swear that they don't know where you were hiding. They are the ones who told me where to find you" Baraka revealed everything which is happening in the Shadowland."What? All my friends are in the dungeons?" Organ asked in shock.His father is not leaving any stone unturned for him. I am fortunate to have such good and loyal friends. They are risking their own lives for the purpose we started. I am indebted to their loyalty. What can I do? How to save them?"You should see the memory imprint of your friends sent to me by their shadow" Baraka's next words snap Odhan back to the reality."They sent a memory imprint?" Odhan asked her in shock. In which dungeon are they in. Are they in the dungeon his father uses
Odhan let the ball of light called memory imprint in one palm and extended his other palm towards Darius. He held it in his and extended his other palm towards Lucifer, who in turn extended his other palm towards Lucian and Lucian towards Max.Melanie being a shadow stood beside Max to be connected in their group.Odhan held the memory imprint ball in his palm tightly before chanting a spell in an unknown language.Suddenly their surroundings started to change and the arena faded. The memory took then inside the Shadowland."What is this place? Where are we?" Darius asked Odhan."We are still in the arena your Highness. But the memory is showing where was captured. If at any time you wanted to not see these imprints, you can simply leave my palm. That way, you will no longer be able to see any of this" Odhan explained respectfully."Hmm" Darius hummed in agreement.In the Shadowland they saw one of his friends walking towards a b
Eugene slowly approached the white ball like light and looked at it closely. He wanted to look at who's memory imprint it might be but is scared of being caught.'I came here for information, this memory imprint might have it if it belongs to their Lord' Eugene thought.'But a memory can only be available for 24 hours. Then it should be recent. What is so important that his Lord preserved?' Eugene thought.Eugene took a deep breath and opened the imprint.He was pleasantly surprised to find himself in the memories of a lady. He looked at the lady in white painting something.It's early morning and the lady is sitting inside a beautiful rose garden, overlooking a mountain."Who is she" Lucian asked Odhan who are looking into Eugene's memories."I am not sure either" Odhan replied with confusion.The lady's back is facing them and they cannot see her face and what she is painting either."But, this much of greenery is nowhere
Theodora changed her clothes and came back without much choice. She knows about their Lord very well, he is not a good person. But her heart is saying that this is wrong. He is not the one for her.For some reason, whenever she looks at the demon she always paints, her heart jumps with joy. His painting always gives her peace and a sense of happiness."Daughter" Norcia called his daughter when he noticed that she changed and is looking presentable."Isn't he the same man you killed before coming here?" Melanie asked Odhan, who looked as shocked as she is."Yes, he is Norcia, my father's loyal dog, he was with my father, even before I was born," Odhan said with shock.All of them looked back into the memory imprint once again when they heard Theodora crying.Theodora looked at her father and she couldn't stop crying."Theodora, what is the matter? Why are you crying?" Norcia adores his daughter. She always makes him feel at peace. But looking
Maximilien looked at Lord Assorthan skeptically. If he knows that his sister does not want to marry him, then why is he forcing her hand.He knows that the Lord is not a good man, but he does not know, he even misbehaves with women. In their land, the birth of a girl child is rare.They are few and far between. So, no matter whoever it is and however he is, he always respects and protects them. But looking at the Lord, who is completely unmoved by his sister's plea, Maximilian understood one thing. His sister will not be happy with this man.So, he decided to stop this marriage at any cost. Nothing is worth his sister's happiness. With that thing decided, Maximilian turned his body and attention towards the lord."Please forgive me, my Lord. May I have the permission to talk?" Maximilian asked politely.Assorthan looked at Maximilian and smirked. He know what this one wants to talk about. But it did not bother him much. He decided to entertai
Assorthan looked at the woman in front of him with pity. She is not aware of why she is painting someone whom she never saw before.But he knows why, and he will never allow her to go to her demon ever again. She will be his ticket to control her demon and make his slave.That is the main reason why he asked her father for her hand in marriage. But after he saw her, he was not ready to be blown away by her beauty. She captivated him with her innocence and controlling her demon became a perk for marrying her."Tell me, Theodora, why don't you want to marry me? I am the Lord of this land, I hold power over everyone in here. If you marry me, you could lead a comfortable life. Even your family can live in the lap of luxury. Tell me, why don't you want to get married to me?" Assorthan wanted to know.She only paints that demon and does not even know her past. Then why don't she accept him and be happy? Almost every woman in this land would do anything fo
"Do you want to get killed, Theodora?" Assorthan asked with anger.He is angry that she is taking the side of a demon whom she never met in her life. Why is so still loyal to that demon? They loved each other in their last life and they died. It's over, Assorthan fumed in his head."It would be better than getting married to you," Theodora said in her frosty voice.Unknown to anyone inside, the wind outside picked up speed and became as cold as ice.Everyone inside the grand hall gasped at her bold statement. Assorthan looked visibly livid.Norcia wants to stop his daughter, but he cannot. As he was commanded not to talk, his lips were sealed.Theodora's mother is too scared to talk in front of the Lord. But she is anxious for the safety of her children."How dare you talk to me like that?" Assortment charged forward to harm Theodora only to be stopped by a sword pointed towards him by Maximilian."Don't even think about it" Maxi
Maximilian tried to lift his sister into his arms to take her to a healer."No brother, it's of no use" Theodora stopped her brother."Don't say that, Sister" Maximilian cried for the first time in his life.Theodora looked at her brother sadly."I know I have limited time left in this world brother. I can feel my life force leaving my body" she said sadly."No, I cannot let that happen, sister" Maximilian cried in anguish."Daughter" Norcia and his wife cried looking at their daughter drenched in her blood."Father, mother" Theodora cried looking at them."How can we live without you Theodora" Norcia cried helplessly."Please don't be sad father. I love you all dearly. Please be happy for me" Theodora told her family."Why did you protect me Little sister, it is I who should protect you" Maximilian cried."I am happy brother. I am happy that I can go and find my demon out there somewhere. If you find
Baraka came out of her house and was stunned to see Eugene standing there."Eugene?" She called softly.As far as she knows, both Eugene and Odhan are with King Darius and Thea. They went to attend their wedding. Then what is Eugene doing here?As soon as Eugene heard Baraka's words, he stiffened.He ignored her and looked at Lady Tina."Can we go?" he asked her politely.Tina noticed his coldness towards Baraka but didn't comment on it."Yes, let's go" instead she answered him softly.Baraka did not understand where she is going and why is Eugene looking comfortable with Lady Tina. But she did not question them and followed quietly.She opened another portal and they reached the hospital in just seconds.Lady Tina walked towards Odhan's room with Eugene and Baraka behind her.Baraka immediately recognized her surroundings. She know what this place is. But she is confused as to why lady Tina brought her here.
Odhan is admitted to the pack hospital. His injuries are much severe than he anticipated. There are numerous injuries all over his body and his leg is fractured. Jumping into the water made his injuries bleed profusely and are infected."His bone damage is excessive. He ran using his fractured leg at a speed, not all possible. His bone splintered and I am afraid, the damage is irreversible. He might never be able to walk again" the pack doctor said.After prescribing some medicine to him, she left.Tina busted out crying. She cannot believe he risked his life to save a boy who is completely unrelated to him. Even Lincoln's own father never did anything for his son. But Odhan jumped from the 3rd floor to save Lincon's life."I am sorry, this is all my fault. I failed to take better care of Lincoln" Tina cried with gratitude and guilt.Organ, who is shocked by the doctor's words is still reeling in shock. He is shocked to hear that he can never
The next morning, Everyone was hungover from the previous night's party. It's 11 in the morning, but Odhan is yet to wake up from his sleep.Only Thea, Darius, Max, and Tina woke up. They are chatting about the wedding details, which is going to take place in a couple of days."We need to start decorating the pack for your wedding," Max said looking at the different decoration styles from the brochure the wedding planner had given them."Ya, Thea liked that one" Darius pointed out towards a decoration, which resembles the heaven with white pillars decorated with white flowers and lights. White shimmering curtains are too used to decorate the entire pack, giving it a heavenish look.The wedding will be going to take place inside the pack itself. The location will be illuminated with lights, which will be hung on to the branches of the trees. The entrance will have two big white gates.Max started to laugh as soon as he saw the decoration."On
In the underworld, everyone seems happy. The bride and groom Darius and Thea are dancing happily in each other's embrace. Lucian and Ophelia, Lucifer and Amber, Max and Melanie, all are having fun drinking and dancing.They are dancing as if they have no care in the world. All their worries and troubles vanished and all they are feeling in this instant is happiness.Lady Tina and Odhan are sitting and enjoying the others dancing like crazy. Even Eugene is having fun.Some of their dance moves are so crazy, Lady Tina couldn't help but laugh at their craziness."I never laughed this much in my life" she confessed to Odhan.Odhan looked surprised at her confession. He can understand why she couldn't have laughed and be happy when she was with David, but what about before that? She was a princess. Didn't her parents treat her well? Odhan thought with confusion."Why is that? You were a princess before you married David right? These past ten year
Amber can feel the pounding of her heart. She know what she is about to do. She never confessed her love to anyone. Hell, it's the first time she is admitting it to herself.She is in Love with Lucifer. She knows he started loving him since the moment he held her in his arms, when they were locked inside his room on that first night of his stay in the royal pack.Lucifer is looking at Amber with a mixture of hope and confusion. He can see the different emotions playing in Amber's eyes.He is hoping that she is about to confess her feeling towards him. He is also considering the what if's. What if she is talking about something else?.Lucifer is waiting for her to explain her intentions."Okay, I won't assume. Tell me. What do you want from me?" he prompted softly."Everything, I want everything from you." She whispered shyly.The blush which is gradually taking over her face gave Lucifer all the answers he
Amber tried to control her tears. But, it proved to be easier said than done. Lucifer's indifferent attitude is hurting her more than she ever realized.He was the one who is kind to her and became a good friend. He was by her side through her shifting process. He is the one who saved her from Assorthan. He is the one who made her feel what love is. Now he is one who is ignoring her.Amber went inside a random room which she found unlocked and closed the door softly behind her. She didn't bother switching on the lights.She slid down the door and sat on the floor with a heavy heart. The tears she tried so hard to suppress started to drift down her cheeks.Her body shook with the intensity of her sobs. As the lights are switched off, Amber didn't notice another presence in the room.After making sure everything is arranged for his guests, Lucifer slipped out of the party with a silly excuse. He went into his room and collapsed on the bed, with
Darius look puzzled at Lucifer's comment.'I think one will lose their sense of clarity if they love someone' he thought with amusement.'She didn't tell him she doesn't love him, but he is thinking that she does not love him because she is angry. He might want to give her space and must be feeling bad for forcing his opinion on her. I always thought you are the smart one of the three of us. Now you are acting like an idiot' he thought and shook his head.'I guess it's time to play cupid again' Darius said with amusement."What happened? Why are you smiling like that?" Thea asked, who is still sitting in his lap.Darius looked at Thea and gave her a mischievous wink."Oh no. Not again" she groaned, but a small smile is playing on her lips."I know you love it" he hugged her tightly."Hmm..." She hummed with content.They sat like that for a couple of minutes."So what are you planning this time?" Thea asked unable to
Lucifer sat on the road looking at the fast leaving car, driven by Amber."That went well" Lucian commented flexing his fingers.Lucifer glared at Lucian, who in turn just shrugged his shoulders."Pushing me under that truck was your master plan?" Lucifer asked getting up from the road. He dusted his clothes a little and looked at Darius expectantly."Yes, it's such a brilliant plan. She would have confessed her love if you healed a little bit slower" Darius said shaking his head like a school principal.Lucifer rolled his eyes at him and snorted with ridicule."It almost worked. We even convinced her that you attempted suicide. But sad, she found out that we are acting sooner than we expect her to be" Lucian said with mock pity.In reality, none of them are really concerned about Amber not loving Lucifer. They saw clearly that she love him. This would have given her a good scare. She would accept him sooner rather than later."Y
"So what are we doing here?" Lucifer asked Darius."Waiting," Darius said looking to his right.Lucifer rolled his eyes and snorted at the obviously."Obviously, What are we waiting here for?" he asked again.Darius sighed heavily and finally looked at Lucifer in annoyance."We are waiting here for Amber" Darius announced and turned away to look in the right.They are currently waiting in their car, which is pulled over to aside, so that they don't disturb the traffic.It's a thick forest on either side of them. They are nestled a little deeper into the tree line so that they can't be seen."You dragged me here with a plan to make Amber realize that she loves me. But you didn't tell me what your plan is" Lucifer muttered irritably."You grumble like a woman" Darius muttered.Lucifer glared at Darius. But the latter look least bothered by Lucifer's angry tantrum."Relax brother. You will like the outcome be
