Aurora gasped and turned her head to stare at him shocked..."Your...what? king Gabriel is really your brother""Don't call him a king, he doesn't deserve that position""Oh!"She exclaimed softly"Then why do you both hate each other?"Ryan breathe out before answering"Well... it's a long story actually, centuries ago?""Centuries ago? is he also immortal?"She asked and he nodded smiling"Woah! okay... what happened years ago?"She curiously asked , her mind was still processing what he told her earlier,"It has to do with the gem, and the real reason why I'm after it..."My grandmother said you are going to use it for evil intentions"He paused looking at her before proceeding"Well... your grandmother wasn't wrong? I wanted the gem because I wanted to wipe out the whole city"she froze at his words..He wanted to wipe out the whole city? "W...why?"Aurora asked lost for words.."Because this world is full of evil... this city don't deserve happiness, I don't have faith in human
"Because that way you are closer to me"He replied climbing the horse also sitting behind her, he wrapped one arm around her body and rested his chin on her shoulder, wrapping her with his other hand and placing his legs over hers, holding on tightly.With that settled Ryan took a deep breath and urged the horse to start walking back towards the houseThe trip back was slow and pleasant, Aurora was content with listening to the sound of their horses hooves against the ground..* * * * * * *It took a while but they finally reached back home, after riding for three hours, Aurora was tired after staying in the saddle for such long period of time... Ryan dismounted first and pulled her in his embrace, wrapping her in his arms..."I'm so glad we are back together, I don't know what I would have done without you"He said as he stroked her hair lovingly.. Aurora giggled happily and nuzzled her face on his shirt, inhaling his scentRyan chuckled softly and they both walked inside.They fina
Two weeks later. .After the incident that happened two weeks ago, Ryan sat down to think about it, the only person that could curse someone and leave them like this was Gabriel...He didn't want to believe that such a powerful soul cant be defeated, he believed that if they ever found him, they would never let him go...But why did they suddenly appear here...? "Gabriel, you bastard"He muttered to himself, clenching his fists tightly,he wanted to find him,he needed answers...he needed revenge...he NEEDED HIM DEAD!!!He couldn't wait any more... he had waited long enough..."This is obviously a warning from him, that son of a bitch thinks he can get me"He said chuckling bitterly, as he took the first steps forward. He was going to search for the evil bastard alone...no matter what it cost him, he had to kill the evil spirit and put him out of this world....and he would gladly do it...he hated it when people threatened his close ones.He would gladly die...Aurora entered the room
* * * * * * *The next day...Ryan woke up feeling refreshed, excited, and...Worn out? Yes, definitely worn out.His eyes scanned the room slowly trying to adjust to the light, finally they fell on the beauty sleeping peacefully by his side. Ryan grinned at her sweet sleeping face, she was so cute while she slept. He thought she'd be frowning because of the pain but instead she was smiling.He stroked her hair softly, loving the silky texture underneath his fingertips, she hummed quietly and snuggled deeper into his pillow."Good morning gorgeous"Ryan smiledShe stirred a little in her sleep."Morning ."Her sleepy voice croakedHe chuckled lightly and kissed her forehead. "How did you sleep baby?"She hummed tiredly"Are you okay?"She smiled tiredly"I'm alright, I've slept better actually"She answered happily"Hmm...."He nodded"So you enjoyed last night?"She asked curiously"I certainly did. You tasted so sweet, I can't believe it."He chuckledHe stared at her for a moment,
Both of them lay down on their bed eating snacks, drinking some of their energy drinks, laughing at random times, or talking about nothing really.Aurora felt so secure around Ryan, like she knows everything will be alright. Like they have always been destined to meet in this way. And honestly, that's what she wanted for the longest time."Aurora, can I ask you something?"Ryan spoke breaking the silence between them"Yeah, what's up?" she replied with a curious grin on her face as she chewed on the last cookie"Would you ever want kids?"He askedAurora's jaw droppedShe stopped chewing and stared at Ryan in shock"What"She muttered , still shocked"Yeah would you ever want to start a family with me?" Ryan looked at her with sincerity.He loved this woman with every fiber of his being but she wasn't ready to talk about it yetHe wanted her to choose. But not because he thinks it was a stupid idea; no that's not it. It was the right thing for them both.So many emotions coursed th
Aurora woke up feeling warm...warmth...Wait....Her eyes flew open"Ryan?"She called his name.She glanced around the room only to notice that it was completely empty except for her.She sat up and frowned deeply wondering where Ryan could've gone.She got off the bed, putting on her shoes,"I wonder where Ryan is...."She mumbled furrowing her eyebrows"He promised me that he wouldn't leave me alone, but he disappeared without so much as a trace last night"Aurora started pacing around anxiously."I swear if I see him, I'm gonna..."Suddenly the door burst open making her gasp loudly."Hey"Ryan walked in , a small smile on his lips.He placed his hands on her waist gently pushing her closer to him.She gazed into his blue eyes" Ryan!!Are you alright?"She questioned worriedly as she ran her hand through his messy hairHe chuckled lowly as he pressed his lips against hers."Yeah I'M OKAY, just needed a break"Ryan kissed her again running his hand under her shirt"Come here"He sm
* * * * * * *"Tell me what you know, did Gabriel send you here?"Ryan questioned .The cursed man smirked wickedly as he continued to stare at him"Must kill her"He responded with a nervous look as he lifted his hand Ryan furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and annoyance."Answer me dammit! Gabriel did this to you, am I right?"Ryan yelled .The man just laughed at his question.Ryan stepped closer towards him, pointing his sword in the direction that the man stood."She's next...I must kill her"The man shuttered staring at every corner of the room except Ryan's face."Well? I've been patient enough, tell me!"The mans eyes widened as he stared at Ryan.Ryan lowered his sword slowly lowering his voice to a whisper as he spoke once again,"How about you start by telling me why you're trying to kill her... if Gabriel really need the gem, he won't hurt Aurora, so why are you trying to kill my wife?"Ryan yelled .The man sighed deeply, closing his eyes briefly before opening themRyan
Midnight...Ryan laid down on his bed, his heart pounding as he stared wide eyed at the ceiling.It has been hours since his conversation with Lucas."God...I hope Aurora is okay"he muttered under his breathe, his eyes filling with concern, he knew she would be fine because she was very clever and capable but he also knew that her family wouldn't have let anyone come near her or threaten her safety.Ryan sat up abruptly feeling someone else's presence in the room.He froze as he turned around only to see Aurora standing beside the door of the room staring straight at him.He stood up nervously and took few steps back towards the wall, he leaned against it as he tried hard not to make it obvious that he was frightened."Aurora"he called but she smiled instead...He knew he was hallucinating but seeing her presence made him better, his chest tighteningSuddenly he heard groans from his hallway, he turned his gaze back to Aurora but she was gone, he knew she wasn't real but his subcons
Marilyn's breath hitched in her throat as she looked at her son's body with tears flowing down her cheeks. She couldn't imagine a world without Keith in it. Losing Ryan was painful enough but now to lose her son too? She could not bear it.The silence stretched out as she struggled to catch her breath. Marilyn watched her ex-husband with sympathy, but there was nothing else she could do.Finally, Ava managed to pull herself together. She nodded her head slowly, resigned to the fact that it was too late for RyanMarilyn's eyes narrowed slightly as she observed Ava. She had never seen someone like this before. She couldn't help but notice that her white hair seemed to shimmer slightly in the dim light of the room.It was beautiful yet strange at the same time. Marilyn couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Ava than meets the eye."You are different", Marilyn spoke softly.Marilyn leaned closer to Ava, studying her with an intensity that bordered on obsession. She seemed trans
Aurora flinched in horror, staring at the gushing blood from Keith's body, she looked at Ryan who just stared at the bloody body before turning to Ava with pure fearAurora screamed loudly, covering her mouth with one hand as she fell backwards"Keith!!!"Ava screamed trying desperately to break free from her chains, but they were tightGabriel kneeled next to Keith's body while Ryan watched helplessly, he watched as Ryan glared at him hard"So... let's just get this thing done with quickly, so we can go home. Right?"Gabriel said and laughed out loud."Oh my gosh, this is hilarious"Gabriel added.."Shit!! shit!!"Ava cursed trying hard again to break the chains, but she couldn't do soGabriel grabbed another gun that laid near to Keith and pointed it at Ryan.."Why don't we end this and for all you fucking bastards!!"Gabriel pulled the trigger and shot Ryan on the leg, which caused him to scream in pain, making Gabriel laugh again.."Ryan!!!!"Aurora screamed frantically trying to
"Don't even think about it!! bastard!!'Ryan glared at him"Isn't this interesting!!"Gabriel shouted, laughing hystericallyAurora gasped when she saw the blade and backed off a bit "Kill them all!!"Gabriel ordered his guards, the guards rushed towards Ryan and the others with their swords drawn.Ryan grabbed his sword, blocked their swords and pushed them aside, grabbing a guard by the collar with his hands and lifted him, throwing him against a pillar making him drop his sword"Aurora stay close to me"Ryan whispered to her fighting off the guard close to him, he kicked him away and jumped up to grab him by the waist, and throw him against a pillar again, he grabbed him by the waist and threw him away againAurora stared with wide eyes at Ryan, who was jumping and kicking like a wild tiger. She was shaking violently. She had never seen him act like this.They kept fighting for almost half an hour, the guards were finally tired after struggling so hard against him. Ryan was sweati
Few minutes later...Ryan was already exhausted, bodies filled the room everywhere, blood and guts scattered around the place making it resemble a slaughterhouse.Ryan stood still panting heavily, covered with a thick layer of grime and sweat, and blood covering his body. He wiped it off his face and turned to face a Gabriel who was approaching him and smirked evilly at him."Wow, you actually killed them all? wow!!"He muttered moving closer to Ryan, kicking the dead bodies as he is doing so.Ryan glared at him gripping his sword, his expression showing no emotion, but inside he was boiling with anger and annoyance."Just get Keith, I... don't want to..."What?"Gabriel interrupted "You don't want to what?!! hurt me?"He added with a laugh"That's what you said years ago""Gabriel!! for the last time! release Keith...he has nothing to do with it...release him...or else I won't spare you this time Gabriel"Ryan warned"Oh come on now Ryan!!! I'm pretty sure you won't kill me, you are
In the dungeonAva and Keith both sat on the floor resting their heads on the wall, neither of them had any idea how much time had passed but they both found comfort in each other's presence, Ava was glad Keith was there."Hey Keith?""Hm?""Do you believe in fate?""Uhm... I guess so.."He said hesitantly"Me too..""You too?"Keith asked"Yeah, I think it's strange that we managed to meet up in these conditions.""Yeah...."Keith saidThe two fell silent. "Are you gonna find a way for us to get out of here"She asked Keith nodded slowly, still not convinced, even though he tried really hard not to think about what happened earlier."I'll try...."They were both silent for a while, staring at the floor, until finally Keith asked"Hey......."Hmm?"She hummed in acknowledgement"How are you holding up?""Better...."Ava replied, looking back at him"Can I ask you a question?""Sure!!""What about your family members, don't they know you are away or something?"Keith asked and heard
"How do you expect me to help you?!?"Keith growled glaring daggers at Gabriel who had an amused expression on his face.He looked over his shoulder once more"Easy!! in the next few hours, Ryan is gonna come here.."Why the hell would he come here?""Are you clueless? come on!! you are his son!! if he hears you are here being my hostage, he is gonna come crawling to me"Gabriel explained with annoyance clearly written all over his face."Hate to burst your bubble but you clearly don't know who Ryan is, he doesn't give a fuck about anything else about from his little girlfriend and himself, so.. you are fucking wasting your time!!"Keith explained, pointing directly at himGabriel rolled his eyes impatiently and stepped forward menacingly"You are hilarious trying to prove that you know my foolish step brother more than me...He spat angrily at Keith"Step brother?"Keith muttered"I know Ryan more than you, and I know in the next few hours, he is going to barge through that door with
The next day.."Ryan, why do we have to leave immediately, can't we just wait for a few days?"Aurora asked worriedly staring at Ryan stuffing all his clothes into the traveling bag, preparing their bags for travel."No, I'm sorry babe, we need to leave now."Ryan sighed and placed the bag on the couch next to him"But.."Don't worry Aurora, I got this, just relax okay? you don't need to stress yourself for this"He kissed her forehead sweetly before grabbing his luggage"Are you sure you want to take these too? they look heavy and it would probably cause an accident"Aurora spoke concerned.Ryan smiled reassuringly at Aurora"Don't worry about them, I know what I'm doing alright?"He repliedImmediately he heard a knock and Ryan headed towards the doorHe opened it and saw Lucas standing there looking terrified"What happened?"Ryan asked staring at Lucas's worried face"I need to talk to you..."He paused and took a quick glance at Aurora"...in private"He finished drafting his att
The morning light filtered through the bedroom window, Aurora could see Ryan slowly waking up as well He yawned and stretched and Aurora giggled seeing him She moved and he quickly pulled her body closer, hugging her and nuzzling her neck "Morning Aurora"he murmured sleepily. Aurora hummed and leaned her head back into his shoulder before closing her eyes.She could feel his lips moving across her neck before a small peck made its way onto her bare skin.She giggled when she felt that familiar sensation on her skin"Morning"She responded softly, rubbing her hand against his arm. Ryan sighed and tightened his grip on Aurora for a moment before gently letting her go. He sat upright and looked down at her with a bright smile.He reached out his hands and helped Aurora sit up, then cupped her face and brought her into a warm kiss."How is my baby?"He asked patting her flat tummy gently, Aurora giggled and blushed slightly. He grinned before planting another kiss on her soft lips
"Three?"Jay yelled and a loud trigger was heard..Ava covered her ears, squeezing her eyes closed.She looked at Keith shocked when he turned around protecting her from the gun shot.."Arghhhhh"Keith fell to the ground groaning loudly as blood fastly trickled down his arm"Oh my God Keith!!"Ava screamed as tears filled her eyesThe three assailants stared in shock when they saw Keith in front of them clutching onto his wound, crying out painfully."Shit! boss, are we supposed to shoot him? we have no idea who he is"One of them cursed"Shut the fuck up and run!! the gunshot was loud for everyone to hear"Jay yelled..The attackers hurriedly ran away leaving Keith on the ground in pain."Keith!!!"Ava called out sobbingAva ran to him rushingly trying to help him but he stopped her with his hand, shaking his head"Just go!! you've done enough!!"He yelled making her startle "What the fuck are you talking about? I have to help you, you were literally just shot in the arm stupid!!"S
