I should push him away and run from there. I should feel repulsed that he is touching me without my permission and scream for help.
I do neither, instead I feel more relaxed and peaceful.
"You should not let strangers touch you," he says after some time as if reading my thoughts.
"Will I look crazy, if I say I know it's you even before you sat behind me," I responded honestly.
He stills behind me for a second and then relaxes completely. He brings me closer to him with a possessive hold around my waist.
"Darius"
"What?" I ask him confused.
"Call me Darius" he clarify
"Oh.," I say lamely.
"How? " I know what he is asking. He is asking how I know that it's him. But I try to deflate the question.
"I thought you will run away thinking that I am crazy." I avoid his question.
"I have been here for a long time to know which is truly crazy. And this is not that. You truly are crazy though, standing in front of me
I wake up with an irritating sound of someone knocking on my door. When I open my eyes, instead of bright blue walls, I face black and grey walls. It's like a mini apartment.The bedroom and living room are separated with a glass wall with a sliding glass door. There are black and grey drapes covering the glass wall. The wall behind the bed is also a glass wall that goes all the way to the living room. The view of the lake can be appreciated from both the bedroom and the living room.Cream color rug greets my feet as soon as I get down from the huge bed. The living area is tastefully decorated with black color furniture and a glass coffee table and incredible artwork adorn the walls here and there.I know who's room it is. His cologne still lingers in the air. I must of fallen asleep last night, how embarrassing. I close my eyes and decide to leave his room before he comes back.I bath and dress up in my room. I need to get out of here to clear my head.
"Leave her Melanie" Amber tries to reason with her, but she is not having any of it.She keeps dragging me behind her and I am struggling to keep Pace with her long strides. Everyone is watching the scene she is making and her minions are filling the people on the way about the pendant I apparently stole.As soon as they hear this, they glare at me. Apparently everyone is believing what she is saying, and the pendant is not helping my cause.My wound started to hurt with the way she is dragging me behind her like a dog. My breath is labored. It's hurting to even breathe."Her father is a respectable man, she turned out to be a thief?""How can she steal from His highness?""What a shameless girl""Is she for real? Stealing from our Alpha?""Our king should make an example out of her""She should be exiled from the pack"People started throwing insults my way. My eyes well up with unshed tears. But I won't gi
He is Furious. As soon as we reach his room, he gently placed me on his bed and arranged the pillows so that I can lean on them.He called a maid and ordered her to send some breakfast for me with none other than Melanie.He checked my wound, I hissed with pain when he touched a particular tender area on the right side of my stomach.After a few minutes Doctor Judy came to check on me. Apparently I had an appointment with her today. She checked my wound and recommended rest.She raised her eyebrows in question when she looked at the now visible handprints of Melanie on my forearm. I just shrugged my shoulders and she Applies some cream without probing further.The good doctor left after she exchanged few words with Darius.Darius is yet to change back to his human self. His eyes still blazing with anger. Just then someone knocked on the door."Come in " Darius called.A very scared Melanie appeared with breakfast. D
It's been a week since I last saw Darius. I am the one who asked for some space and I am the one who is missing our time together.Is it possible to miss anyone with whom we just spoke thrice? Apparently the answer seems to be yes.After that Melanie fiasco, I firmly planted my self in my room. My new maid Melanie brings me food and all the essential items I need.She was instructed to sample all my meals in front of me before I can eat them. When I looked at Max when it happened the first time, he simply said"Precaution"I just nodded my head and let them do whatever they want. I am not interested in arguing anyways.Max gave me my new mobile 6 days ago, with Darius's number already saved into the contacts.Everyday Amber, Li and Max comes to my room to keep me company.Amber and Li bombarded me with questions about Darius. I told them bits and pieces, and tucked away all our private moments in my heart.They
I close my mouth to stop myself from making any sound. I am scared is an understatement. I am terrified. That guy is holding her neck and she seems to be losing the battle with her life.I take my mobile out and start recording everything. I gather my courage and yell at that guy."Let her go" my palms are sweaty and I am shaking all over.His blood-red eyes turn my way and he slowly stares at me from top to bottom, when his eyes reach my chest area he licks his lips suggestively."I think I will take you with me tonight, after I am done here" he squeezes her neck harder all the while looking at me.That girls face is turning pale. She will die soon if he doesn't stop."I said let her go" I command him more firmly this time."What if I don't" he momentarily loosen his grip on the girl."I will make sure you regret that" I warn him.What the hell is taking you so long Max?He laughs loudly, his shoulders shaking." You
After assuring and reassuring Darius that I am absolutely fine for an hour, I feel exhausted. He checked me for any possible injuries. After seeing it himself that I am alright, he seems to be satisfied.The next day my father, Darius and Max discussed the incident and how to bring it to the supernatural court.Supernatural court is the place where all the supernatural lords gather, if there is an incident that should be taken care of. Like the one that happened last night.Apparently, all the lord's take the safety of humans seriously. They do not want to disturb the fragile balance and harmony we all have.They all want to protect their own kind from any possible disputes. Every side will have casualties if anyone disobeys the laws and becomes the reason for a dispute.The laws are simple.1. Never harm a human. Don't let them too close. If you don't like them, then stay away.2. Stay away from other supernatural territory. Tak
PastDarius POVI don't know how many years I have been there in the pit. Pain is all I know, it is all I felt anymore.It's not the physical pain of flesh burning and bones turning into liquid lava only to heal again and the process starts all over again.This is the pain of the heart, the pain of loss, the pain of losing something priceless and irreplaceable.One day the pain stopped and everything became blank and peaceful.There was this bright light and came an old man with eyes full of wisdom and a peaceful kind face."May I know who you are sir" I requested softly."I came here for you son, of course, you can. Let's think that I am your guardian for now" he answered with a smile."You clearly cannot die in here. Then why even try" he questions curiously.I told him everything that happened and the angle that I lost in the process."I was a coward who couldn't stand up for what he wanted unlike my Angel, who is
"We are here" Max declared once we reach a huge building that seems to be built with glass walls."What is this place?" I ask as Max parks his car in a parking space outside the building."This is the office building of His highness" Li offers from beside me." Office building? " I ask her confused."His highness owns a lot of businesses around the world. This building is the main hub from where he operates all his businesses" I look at her and then the building dumbfounded."You mean apart from being a King, he also overlooks all these" I wanted to confirm if that what exactly she meant."Yup" she pops the 'p'."Our King works hard but most importantly he works smart" Max praises Darius."What do you mean""He is good with noticing things usually many fail to notice. And he is very good at delegating the workload. He knows who is good at what and gives them only that particular kind of work. That way there are fewer mistak
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
