I start to cry as soon as wake up from my dream. They are not my dreams, they are memories which my grandfather suppressed.
They are the painful memories that he never wants me to remember again. But somehow they are getting back.
Every single thing which he tried to erase from my mind is coming back to me with a vengeance.
But why is that Ornan searching for me? He was in my dreams. Is he real? Is that why I was dreaming about him?
What is happening to me?
"Angel, what happened? Why are you crying?" Darius asks with concern laced voiced?
"He killed my mother" I whisper in between my ugly sobs.
Darius becomes stiff beside me and stops breathing for a second.
"Who," he asks carefully.
"Ornan" I spat his name like it's a curse.
His hold tightens around me and I can sense he is shifting into his angry demon form.
He picks up his phone and makes a call.
"Johnathan, I want your father in law here in the M
Ornan's povIn the room where Amber is lying down on the bed unconscious.A doctor was led into the room my Max."She is here" he points out the unconscious girl on the bed.The doctor nods his head and carries on with his work. He checks the girl's vitals once again and gives her an injection."There is not much change in her condition. Due to the trauma, her body is still recovering. I cannot tell you when will she decides to wake up. It's up to her will power. I am doing everything I can" the doctors words are not so assuring.Max's face falls a little at the news given by the doctor. But no one can do anything in a situation which is out of their control.They leave the room silently closing the door after them.Eyes that were firmly shut, opens up immediately, revealing completely black eyes.The girl smiles in triumph."They think it's still you my dear Amber," a male voice says which comes from the girl's
Azzazal's pov"You haven't slept yet?" Azzazal asked Althea when he noticed that she is sitting on his bed deep in thoughts.He made his way towards the dressing table and picked something up from there. He approached her and fastened something around her neck.She looked down at the pendant in surprise."What is it?" She asked, trying to look at it properly.But it's short length didn't allow her much to see."Go and look in the mirror, you can look at it more clearly" he advised looking at her curiosity.He made his way into the bathroom to freshen up as he just arrived from the human world.His father wanted him to kill a few innocent people to get his hands on their parchment papers, which has some spells written by the dark creatures. They were protecting those, so they would not get into the wrong hands.But my brother found them and wanted them to gain power with the spells.He loathed every second of it. The o
The witch lord was invited inside the pack to look for any clues regarding the Ornan issue.I still held hope that he might help Amber regain her consciousness. She suffered a great deal because of me. If I could help her in any way, then I will.I cannot let her lay on the bed hoping for a miracle cure. I need to do something to help her.I requested the lord as soon as he came here to look at her.He looked at Amber and frowned a little."Is she the girl you are talking about?" he asked with a troubled expression."Yes, Lord Agamanan, she is Amber, the daughter of, one of the pack council members. Her parents were dead when we found them, She went missing. A couple of days ago, she came into the pack. But the pack gates held shut. She was possessed by Ornan, so the foreign magic was detected and she was not allowed inside. They forcefully entered and caused havoc." I explained the situation."They were after you, if what I hea
Darius povDarius sat near the edge of the lake remembering their last night together. If she would have been open about the situation she was in back then, then things would have been different. If he confessed about his feelings, maybe then she would have opened up about what happened to her and what's happening with Ornan.Miscommunication and assuming that it won't work between them is the reason why they had faced so much grief and had to stay away from each other for so long.He beat himself up for not confessing his feelings towards her earlier. But what is done is done. I cannot undo the past. The one thing I can promise never to let happen again is giving a chance to Ornan.I will never let that rat bastard touch what belongs to me. Thea belongs to me and me alone. She doesn't know it yet, but she will soon. Even if she doesn't love me in this life, even then I will not let her go. I am it for her.I have been giving her time to adjust to her n
Ornan povOrnan who is inside Amber glared at his ex-brother and Althea. He will not allow them to be happy. If they think, this is all over and I left this girl's body for good, then they are sorely mistaken.I am bidding my time. That water in the lake made my magic weaker. It's not sufficient to control this girl like I want her to.I need time to recuperate and then I will take Althea away from him. Her beauty belongs to me, her softness is mine to ruin.She is all mine to have. He fisted his palms in anger."You should kill her" a dark shadow appears in one corner of the room.Ornan who is inside Amber turns towards the source of the voice startled.As soon as he saw the shadow, he gasps in surprise."Who are you?" he asked the shadow.Deep down he has an inkling of doubt about who he might be.But he does not want to assume anything. If it is what he thinks it is, then today will be the day.He will
Darius povThe next morning I left Thea in the company of Max and Melanie. I heard how the latter helped Thea when the pack was breached by the dead of the dark world."I need a word with you Johnathan," I tell Thea's father when I pass him in the hallway towards my study."Yes, my King" he follows behind me closely.I go inside and let the door open for him. He comes inside and closes it behind him.I settle down in my chair and look at him closely. Now that I am observing him, yes indeed he resembles the priest I killed almost 100 years ago.He needs to know everything about what's happening here. Knowledge is power. If he knew about the issue at hand he will be much more prepared than being ignorant.Knowing about our enemy is what gives us an advantage over him. Johnathan will also be aware of how dangerous and old this person is.He should know the obsession Ornan holds over Thea. But, what is his purpose for all this?
"What is it baby sister, what are you thinking" Max sits beside me.I was sitting near the lake and thinking about what the witch Lord said about Amber. I haven't noticed Max."Nothing" I try to brush it off like it's nothing. I don't want him to worry. I am sure Darius must be thinking about the same. He too heard what the Lord said about Amber."You won't be thinking this deeply if it's nothing. You didn't even notice my presence until I announced it to you. I am not quiet either. So that means, you are so lost in your thoughts that you forgot to observe your surroundings" he analyses.I laugh despite myself. God, he is the only one who can make me laugh even in a situation like this."You are crazy, you know that?" I tease him."Yaa.. My sister made sure she reminds me of my awesome craziness every day" he wiggles his eyebrows playfully.He lays down on the grass and turns towards me."What happened Thea? What were you thinking?" he
Almost all the shifters in the royal pack were acting as if they don't have any control over their animal form.Only a few of them remain sane, and even they were confused as to why their fellow pack members acting this way.The moment Darius reaches my side, I told him what I observed earlier. All the crazed shifters become normal as soon as they touch the water of the lake.That's when Darius got suspicious about all this."It's not the water, it's the magic spell I cast over it that's helping them to regain control over their animal again" he explained what he understood from my observation.We found Melanie a little distance away from the lake fighting with one wolf and one bear shifter in their animal forms.She is injured, and if it's not for Max who reached them on time, she would be in a much more critical stage now.He sprinkled the water on the shifters which his shirt absorbed when he came into the water with me.As so
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
