"Do you believe this is coincidental, that she came exactly at the same time that our pack gates were breached" Melanie asks me softly when I don't respond to her previous statement?
I observe that Amber is not coming close to us. She is nowhere near the water. She is restless and shuffling here and there mindful of the water.
"Explain about this Mel" she is surprised that I used a nickname to call her. She recovers fast and nods her head. She earned my trust by this act of loyalty towards the pack.
"This lake is enchanted with magic. His highness himself constructed this structure in the middle of the lake for these kinds of threats. The entrance gates of the pack are enchanted too. If it detects someone entering forcefully inside the pack, it will alert the guards and there are structures like these around the pack. The people who the magic consider as a threat, will not let them enter into those structures" Mel explains patiently.
"Ambi, come to me" I requ
A big shadow appeared above us obstructing the moonlight and making the already dark surroundings darker.I Shiver with fear, at the sudden appearance of this mysterious figure. Even the dead army stopped in their tracks.We look up only to close our eyes and shield our heads to protect ourselves from the approaching thing.By the flapping sound it is making, it might be some kind of a bird and a big one if we go by the shadow."Let's get into the room" I whisper to Melanie.She seems to come out of the trance-like state and we start to pull Amber with us.The water makes a sound as we start to pull Amber.This seems to alert the dead army, they start chasing us. But before anyone can even touch us, fire emits from the sky and it starts burning the dead army.They open their mouths, they would have screamed if they were alive, but now only gurgling sound comes from their throats.Within a minute, the dead army is turned int
We all returned to the Mansion. The witch lord was kind enough to send one of their best witches to look at at the effective guards who were bitten by the dead army.Those dead bodies were poisoned with a potion to control their bodies. That voice might be the one who is controlling these bodies.What doesn't make any sense is, who is he and why is he after me. I never have seen this guy in my life. Then why is he after me?Is Amber hurt because he wants to get to me? How did he kidnap her? Where were her parents when that was happening? Are they dead, because they tried to save her?Like we thought earlier, Amber was possessed, her body couldn't take the intrusion. She slipped into a coma. The pack doctor is not hopeful about her condition.Somehow I feel responsible for the condition she is in. If she wasn't my friend, then she wouldn't have been in this condition.I feel sad, that I might lose my friend. All the guards were given th
"Why do you want my daughter" my mother asks a question of her own."I don't have to answer to you. But since these are your last moments, I will humor you. I want your daughter to control my brother. I want power, I need control. My ex-brother has both in abundance. If I can't get the power of my own, then It's powerful enough then I can have some semblance of power by controlling my brother" he laughs like a maniac.Little Thea got scared of this boogie man."You will never be able to do that. Your brother knows how to protect what belongs to him" my mother promises with a cold voice."Ha ha.. Protect what belongs to him? Do you know how I killed your dear daughter in her previous life? That too right in front of my dearest brother" he laughs at his joke.My mother smiles at him like he is stupid."He is loyal to his blood and responsibilities. If you think his love and loyalty are his weakness, then wait and watch his love becoming his strength
15 years ago on the day when Thea's mother died:Darius PovI sense that someone close to me needs help. But I checked with everyone I know, they all seems to be fine.The feeling of helplessness is overwhelming. I cannot pinpoint the exact cause but the feeling started from the moment I stepped onto the place where fire ate away an entire 2 story house with two people inside it.That's when I felt like someone is calling for help, and that someone is still alive in that burned down house.Which is ridiculous and entirely not possible.But here I am after everyone left from the accident site and I am still here.Someone is coming from behind me. They stop when they notice that they are not alone."Your highness" greets the person."William" I acknowledge his presence.William is Johnathan's father-in-law. Johnathan has a small daughter and an adopted son. His wife is a human.But her father is nowhere
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
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
