Bound By A Ritual Chapter 34
DAMON'S POVI couldn't help but watch Ava closely as she tried to uncover the road back to town. Something was mesmerizing about seeing her so determined and focused. I knew the way back, but for some reason, I was enjoying watching her wrestle with finding her way."I think we're lost," she mumbled, sounding slightly defeated. "I shouldn't have run away."I couldn't resist teasing her a little. "Yep, you shouldn't have," I said with a playful smile. She shot me a glare, but I couldn't help but smile back at her. "Right now, though, I'm hungry. Let's find some food."Ava sighed. "I need to go back to the palace and shower. I feel like I've been sleeping on the ground for days."I furrowed my brows, realizing she didn't know the way back. "Then shut up and help me find some food.""Fine!" she huffed, and I grinned. Even though I knew the way, I turned left, leading us along a familiar path. She quickly followed, interlacing our fingers together. I glanced down at our hands, feeling a wa

Ava changed into a vibrant green dress and sank onto the soft bed, finally allowing herself to relax. The confinement of the palace was taking a toll on her, making her yearn for her mother and her dear brother Luke. She needed some fresh air, to escape from the weirdness that seemed to be engulfing her.Damon's anger still lingered in her mind, causing her heart to feel heavy and conflicted. As if that wasn't enough, she found herself questioning her feelings for Alex. Her emotions were a tangled mess, and she couldn't make sense of them."What am I doing wrong?" she whispered to herself in frustration. She longed for a way to decipher her feelings and put an end to the unwarranted drama.Just then, a maid entered the room, tossing a neat pile of clothes into the closet. Mumbling to herself, Ava turned towards her and asked, "Is there anything we can do? This palace is suffocating my lungs."A glimmer of hope filled Ava's eyes as she replied, "We're heading to the market now. You can

Alex raised his hand and delivered a forceful slap to the back of Verge's head. "I specifically instructed you all to bring her here calmly, not to cause her harm," he scolded."But my lord, she was about to raise an alarm," Verge murmured."Was she alone?" He pondered, glancing over at a sleeping Ava. A smile crossed his face as he realized he couldn't leave her in the hands of Damon, a man who pretended to love her but would only bring her harm."Yes, my lord," Verge whispered. "She appeared disoriented.""Hmm." he brushed a lock of hair behind his ear, a smile still lingering. "And what about the others? What are they up to?""After we conquered one of the dragon's settlements, we eliminated any civilians and took refuge in some comfortable houses for the night. We also discussed our next plan," Verge explained."I see." This information indicated that Damon wasn't aligned with the dragons. If the vampires were able to defeat one of their villages so easily, it meant that the dragon

Ava strode into a garden, she had never been here before, this place looked incredible, it must be a dream "You can't have her Alex " the voice mumbled from the other side, moving close to listen properly I fastened my steps. " she is already engaged to someone else and he has waited for her to grow to this age "" Mr. Gerald, I can make her love me " Alex murmured, " won't you want what's best for your daughter, to marry a man that loves and cares for her?"" I do "The man looked down " If you can make her love you then I think I will cut off the engagement, she has never met this man before, from the tales I heard about him… he was an abomination ""Lara will never love such a man " Alex shook his head " I wish to meet her, let me talk to her "" Alex " Gerald looked worried " I fear for my daughter, this man isn't someone to joke with, he made her his when she was just sixteen, he has waited for a while now " he swallowed " I fear he might kill you if you touch her "" worry for me,

Ava sank into the bed, exhaling deeply. "Sebastian, how do I escape from all of this?" She gazed at him, her forehead furrowing. "You understand that my life has been turned upside down."Sebastian nodded, his expression gentle as he smiled. "Would you like to learn more about this person, Lara?""Lara?" Ava raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "How am I supposed to know someone who's no longer alive?""I am a wizard, Ava. I have the power to take you back in time, to see everything for yourself and find out the truth. It might help clear up any confusion caused by those two rascals.""Damon isn't a rascal, Sebastian," Ava retorted, her frown deepening. Sebastian raised his hands in defense. "Why am I even considering taking his side?""Perhaps because you have feelings for him?" Sebastian suggested a hint of amusement in his voice.Ava shook her head skeptically. Looking out the window at the sky, she couldn't help but wonder how Damon would be feeling at that moment. Would he be worried and s

As soon as Ava stepped into her room, her stomach growled loudly, causing Sebastian to cackle. "Shut up!" I growled at him, annoyed. I moved toward the bathroom, closed the door behind me, and started to undress."I can steal some food for you, Ava," Sebastian suddenly said, his voice low as if he was eating something. "When you and Alex were protesting, I stole some plates of chicken. I knew you would be hungry.""Well, aren't you the helpful one?" I chuckled, amused by his resourcefulness. I took a quick shower and then found a pair of shorts and a black shirt in the closet. It seemed like the people who lived here must have worn these.Stepping out of the bathroom, I tied my hair into a ponytail. Sebastian opened his mouth to say something but then hesitated. "You're putting on shorts?" he finally spoke up. I nodded in response. "You can't dress that way. It's considered unfeminine.""Why is that?" I asked, genuinely curious. Sebastian shrugged, not knowing the exact reason. "I've

Damon stood still in the hallway, consumed by thoughts of guilt. He blamed himself for all that had happened. If only he had been able to track her down sooner if only he hadn't let her out of his sight if only he had been stronger and more diligent in finding the right antidote to counteract that black magic."Young master," the physician's voice broke through Damon's thoughts. He swiftly turned around, eager to hear what the physician had to say. "Her vital organs are functioning normally again, but the blow to her abdomen caused severe damage to her ribs... I cannot say for certain if she will survive. It is now up to her to fight and wake up."Desperation filled me as I asked, "Is there anything else you can do? If anyone could hear me, they would know that I am on the edge of losing my mind. If anything were to happen to my beloved, I swear, I will hunt down Alex and his armies. Every last one of them will pay, not even their children will be spared."The physician bowed his head.

Ava finds herself in a dark, despairing place. It's so engulfing that it tempts her to simply surrender to the darkness and sleep forever. In sleep, perhaps she could finally find solace and escape from all her troubles. "Ava," a familiar voice calls out, and she instinctively looks around. "My silly little girl, where could she have gone?" It's Damon's voice."Damon, is that you? Where are you?""Yes, Ava, it's me. I'm right here," his voice echoes from her left, and she excitedly turns in that direction. "What are you doing down there, Ava? Come on now, hurry up and come to me." Ava tries to move, but it feels as if her legs are bound, rendering her immobile."I can't, Damon. I can't move my legs. Why can't I leave this place? It hurts when I try," she growls, her eyes fixated on Damon as he continues to move farther away. "No, don't leave me! Wait! Damon, you can't abandon me here!""I'm sorry, Ava, but I can't stay in this dark place. Do you see that light behind me? It's calling t

Unknown "Please let me go. Damon must be worried about me." Ava cried The blindfold was taken off her eyes and she was shocked to see Travis standing in front of her. "Hello, sister." "Travis, how could you kidnap me? I demand you take me back to the palace." "Don't you get it? I have always loved you. But you choose to ignore my feelings for you. And then I heard the news of your death, only for me to see you back again. It was a sign that we were destined to be together." He blabbed "I was your sister, you psycho.""But not anymore. Now we're not related. Nothing is stopping us from being together now." "I love Damon Travis, please. I'm carrying his child." "Not for long ava" "Look, I don't remember much from my past but I know you're a good person. Don't do this. Damon would kill you if he finds you but if you let me go, I promise no one will know about this." I tried to reason with him "Travis, please don't do anything to her." A girl walked into the room. "How the fuck

"I begged you not to kill him but you wouldn't listen. And all because of that stupid Ava, first, she took you away from me, and now that I have found someone else to love she wants to take that also? how can all the guys be crazy about her, I mean what does she have that I don't? I know she's pretty but that doesn't mean that she can get all the guys in the world. I'm starting to hate her she's the course of all this problem" Damon could see the pain and bitterness in her eyes as she spoke and it pained him to know that he was the reason why tears could be seen in Zulu's eyes. And on the other hand, Chase looked hurt by her words.Damon had already beaten Alex almost to the point of death. "Forgive me, Zulu, I let my anger get the better part of me. I had promised to protect you and now I am the cause of your pain. I'm sorry" "Sorry, you're telling me you're sorry after almost killing my beloved, you say you're sorry, tell me, what's your sorry going to do for me will it heal the

After the incident in which Ava saw Anna and me kissing, I thought she would come back here yelling and telling me how much she hated me for it. I have not seen her I guess she locked herself up in the room. Maybe I should just apologize I can't take this silence anymore. I wonder why ladies have to be so difficult. I mean, she was the one who upset me and now I'm about to ask for forgiveness from her. I just hope she doesn't plan on getting rid of my child cause of her crazy dreams. I made my way to our chambers only to find them empty. I checked the bathroom and the balcony but it was empty as well. Where could she have gone? I just hope she hasn't done anything foolish. "Grant, Chase," I yelled and they came almost immediately "What could be making you scream my name like the house is on fire," Chase answered. "Where is Ava? I mean, have any of you seen her 'cause I can't seem to find her." "I don't understand shouldn't she be in her room? Grant asked " I just said I can't fi

I still can't believe Damon kissed Anna, I mean we just argued and he was already running into the hands of another woman. And he keeps professing his undying love for me. Doesn't he know that I will get hurt by what he just did? What am I saying, maybe I walked in at the wrong time.Maybe she kissed him without permission, maybe that's true but Damon doesn't seem bothered. I guess I need to confront him. I was already on my way to give him a piece of my mind when suddenly I felt someone put a handkerchief over my nose and I passed out. ••••*Unknown* "I can't believe she is pregnant for that bastard. I have always loved her but yet she never noticed or should I say she chose to ignore my feelings for her. I lost her once because I never made any effort to gain her love but not this time. Not when I finally have a chance with her." "But son don't you think this is all wrong? I mean she's…" "Enough father, I don't care if it's right or wrong. All I care about right now is making h

" the truth is that I know I am weak " She frowns then clears her throat "I know that I am not strong so I don't need....." The next thing happening is her vomiting on my favorite rose in the palace. What did she eat? Damn, I love those flowers! Damon watches the sleeping Ava, right after throwing up, she loses consciousness, is she sick? The physician still hasn't arrived "Ava" I mumble the moment I notice her eyes blink thrice before slowly opening them, she turns and looks my way. She looks kind of pale, why didn't I notice she was sick? I was so busy being mad at her that I forgot to take proper care of her. " Damon?" She smiled " I feel so weak right now " she sat up gently, " I think I got the flu, I'm sorry" Titling my head to my left I study her gently "You are sorry? For what? Being sick? common ava or your body is telling you not to get angry so easily, you might vomit to death you know " "I'm sorry Ava, sorry for not being able to take good care of you. I just let anger

She steps closer and slaps me "I am not weak, you take that right back " and then it hits me. She remembers Damon's gaze moved back to aggravated Ava " Why the hell are you here" I couldn't help to get annoyed as well " What if something bad happened to you, this is a battlefield for crying out loud " " a battlefield where all your enemies are lying dead, I am not weak Damon, I can take care of myself " " of course, you aren't weak " I frown "How did you even get your memory back ?" " why are you asking" she furrows her brows " Were you even bothered about my memory loss? " I frown, saying nothing else. I know this will lead to a long argument. I am about to give her the argument she wants but not now and not here. "You were happy with the fact that I lost my memory. Weren't you?" She gasped " Sebastian, take her to the palace" "I am not moving from this spot "Exhaling I tried calming myself down but before I could reply to her, Alex shoved me aside " Ava, how did...." Before he

" Forgive me milady " he smiles and I frown" Right now we need you to get ready for us to leave for the palace" " are we going to be living there?" I ask while moving back into the house, Sebastian nods his head and I lift the book I was given yesterday "Can this book talk? " I turn and look at Sebastian " I have a feeling it is alive" of course I am alive" I blink because all that happened was fast, the book flying from my hands and becoming human, a woman with dark long hair " A mistress that can lose her memories so fast?"" what are you" I looked closely and Travis gasped " Don't tell me Ava is running mad " he steps closer " Who are you talking to Ava? " " the book, it is human " I look at her "They can't see you?" " no mistress, only you can "She moved closer " I can give you back your memories master but it will cost you a great deal " My gaze urges her to speak "You will have to release me, you just need to say the word and I will be master of my own, people will be able t

" of you leaving me and marrying another man " From the sound of his voice I realize he isn't lying, is that what he calls a nightmare, is it possible he likes me? Looking up at him, I Lean close and kiss his forehead "Sleep, I won't leave you "A smile forms on his lips. " thank you sugar" With that he closed his eyes and I could tell he was already asleep. •••• Ava kept an eye on him as he slept, he did say today he will be king, does that mean the battle is ending today? How am I supposed to get back the memory I am said to have lost " Damon " I mumble then sigh, whenever I say that name my body reacts strangely. He sleeps peacefully and he looks so handsome. Moving his hair from his face I watch him smile " I thought you would kiss me " he muttered, his eyes still closed " I won't mind if you do, so go ahead " " Why would I want to do that anyway? " I tried so hard to hide the blush on my cheeks. " I don't know " he opens his eyes "Maybe because my lips look addictive" he wi

After Zulu was told by Damon to go heal Alex, she didn't waste any more time as she left immediately heading to the man she had grown to love, Alex. Zulu watches Alex frown the moment he realizes Ava has gone " Where the hell is Ava, she should be here. I remember leaving her here with you, didn't I? " he turned in my direction and I had to shrug. " I told her to stay still, I was worried about you so I left to come to check up on you " Alex ran his hands through his hair, frowning " Zulu, I told you clearly to keep an eye on her, she is too...." Waving my hands I make him stop talking, he furrows his brows, and even while hurt he still worries about Ava. " you're badly hurt, you need treatment "Trying to touch his hand he steps away "Alex, you need to stop thinking about her and start thinking of how badly wounded you are." " you're just my maid, you don't call me by my name! " " then I quit " "Fine, now get out!!" " No " I yell back at him, watching him slowly sit on the bed,
