Claimed By The Romania Brothers The End Of All Illusions
MIAHow was any of this possible? I thought he had been kidnapped by that terrifying figure in the hood but here he was before my very own eyes running towards me along with Bastien and Leo.“Javier!” I screamed in excitement, “Get us out of here, hurry!” at this point, I wished that this was not another wicked illusion conjured by the forest to further torment us, I hoped that the three men rushing towards my mother and I with concerned looks on their faces were really here and not also lost in the forest, dealing with different nightmares of their own.They all caught up with us, Javier was in the lead, and without hesitation, he ran across the quicksand and reached me.“Be careful, it will trap you too!” I shouted in warning but it was too late, he had already reached me and what was more surprising, he wasn’t sinking either.“What are you people experiencing right now?” Bastien asked heading cautiously for Sarcana.“We are being pulled into a batch of quicksand. The fact you have
Claimed By The Romania Brothers Same Choices
RYLEE I could feel the protective magic that covered me was starting to lose its efficacy. I had to make a choice, if I decided to make it stronger, I would lose stamina due to continuous usage and who knew what else might be lurking in this forsaken forest. I decided that it would be safer at the moment to drop my protective magic and save my energy. The elder forest was indeed a formidable enemy, it was tougher to get through than I originally thought. I thought it would be very easy to get in, find Sarcana, and finish her off but instead, here I was standing all alone, lost. Olivia and Leo got separated from me earlier, whatever protective magic there was around them would have long disappeared since they were no longer with me. I didn't care much about Leo. He could take care of himself and if he couldn't then he was never fit to run in my inner circle anyway. My major concern was Olivia. That kid was useless without me around. I had to find her and make sure that she wa
Claimed By The Romania Brothers A New Friend?
RYLEEIt was a paralyzing feeling; it was not every day that I came up against someone who had such a terrifying aura and presence.I took a cautious step back and looked at my surroundings, I had just managed to get through the first ordeal where the forest tried to use my memories as a weapon to defeat me and it failed miserably. Was this the second test? I could tell from a glance that whoever it was would be far more formidable that the mist and voices.The figure took a step forward and crunched on dried tree leaves as it did, even as it approached, there was a powerful gust of wind that came in my direction.It looked like it was doing everything in its power to scare and intimidate me, I refused to me moved. The last thing I was every going to do was allow myself to be terrified of a power I had not yet experienced. Not not I, I Rylee was the one that did the terrifying, I was the evil that kept people up at night and until I was sure that this cloaked figure, whatever it was
Claimed By The Romania Brothers Livi’s Peril
OLIVIAThe fear that gripped me as I saw the sword plunging into my chest was more than words could describe, I was visibly paralyzed as the memory in the mist had seamlessly transformed from the point where I was stabbing Javier to the point where I was being stabbed three years ago.The worst part about it was that my fear was doubled, all the fear I felt then plus the fear I now felt combined to freeze me to the spot where I was standing and all I could do was scream as the memory kept repeating over and over again, there seemed to be no end to it.Each time I got stabbed, the Javier in the memory did not look shocked to see me bleeding to death, he did not look mortified to know that his best friend had just thrown away her life to ensure that he kept on living but instead, he had a sly look on his face.I could see the grin tugging at the ends of his lips as he regarded me like one would a comic relief, he looked pleased that I was finally dying and that hurt more than the sword
Claimed By The Romania Brothers A Tormented Mind
MIAIt was one of the best, if not the best car ride back to the penthouse, to be able to sit there, resting my head on my mother’s shoulder was the best feeling in the world. All my troubles, anxieties and fears were all washed away, I wished I could stay there forever but unfortunately, misfortune was still hanging around.Bastien pulled into the garage and we all alighted, Leo, Javier, Sarcana and I and as soon as my feet touched the ground, I remembered the situation that Ivan was in and I immediately became sad again.“Don’t worry Mia, I am here,” my mom said and placed her hand on my shoulder and squeezed it affectionately.“We have to hurry,” Bastien said and was the first to rush towards the door, followed by Javier, Leo was next and finally, my mom and I.Ivan was still laying in the protective circle where we left him and the sight of him like that tore at my heart and made it ache.“What the hell did that bastard do to him? Why has he still not woken up?” Javier asked Sarca
Claimed By The Romania Brothers Sweet Relief
MIAI didn't know if my reflexes had improved or if it was just dumb luck that Ivan's claws missed me.I leaped back just in the nick of time as it was about to take out my right eye and fell flat on the ground and rolled.The rolling which was at that point a force of habit from fighting a few times in the past saved me from the second attack of his.I hurried to my feet as he leaped at me again, baring both claws and fangs and looking like something straight from a nightmare.There seemed to be no reasoning with him. He was not even giving me the chance to talk, to clear up whatever caused this misunderstanding, he just wanted to gorge out my eyes.The one upside to the whole thing seemed to be that he was not attacking or fighting like the Ivan I knew. Ivan was a skilled fighter and in a contest of pure skill, I knew I did not hold a candle to him."Ivan, stop this madness, it is me, Mia!" I screamed at him but it had no effect.He just charged at me, "Murderer!" he yelled as he ch
Claimed By The Romania Brothers A Sunny Day
MIAThe doorbell caught all our attention at the dining table.It was our first normal breakfast in forever, lots of things had happened over the last few weeks that we had not had time for something as normal as having breakfast.Ivan went to open the door while Javier and I looked on, it was my mom and Bastien who came in.I got up and ran to her and hugged her, “Welcome back Mom, how have you been?” I asked beaming with a smile.She smiled back, “I’ve been good, you seem to be in a happy mood,” she commented.“Uhm, it’s been a while since I have been able to enjoy a peaceful day.”“And you should continue to do so.”“Everything looks great on the home front,” Bastien remarked.Ivan shook his head, “Yes it is, everyone is just glad that we are here in one piece.”Javier got up and walked over to Bastien, “How are you doing with the new place,” he asked.That reminded me of the fact that Bastien’s old home was destroyed.“The new place is alright, not as great as the old but it gets
Claimed By The Romania Brothers More Half-Truths
BASTIENSarcana, Leo, Javier, and I all left the penthouse after Ivan had been successfully awoken by Mia.It gave me great joy to see my son up and doing again, for a while I was beginning to fear that the worst might happen and that Ivan would die or be trapped for a long time and possibly forever. Now that was something I did not have to worry about.We all walked towards my car when Javier placed a hand on my shoulder and held me back a bit.I looked at Leo and Sarcana, “Go ahead, I’ll catch up.”Leo seemed to hesitate for a while but he then went with Sarcana to the car. I didn’t blame him, the man wanted to get a chance to speak on one with his son but Javier was giving him none of that.The general hate and apprehension towards him seemed to have died down but I knew deep down, that Javier still didn’t accept Leo and I knew that Leo knew this too.“What is it?” I asked Javier.“I just wanted to thank you personally for all that you have done, helping Mia, helping me when I was

Claimed By The Romania Brothers A New Beginning
MIAThe next few days were all dark and gloomy, we had won the war but the cost was heavy and it was felt by everyone of us, most of all was Javier.For the first few days, we just holed up in the isolated house that Leo had found and there we passed days as we all tried to come to terms with what had just happened. But today was the day, the day we said goodbye for good.Ivan and Leo had decided that we would all mourn our dead on the same day. Leo handled all the preparation, that was the least that he could do, he said.The first few days were the worst, Javier blamed himself for everything even though we told him that it was Rylee’s fault that he had that evil put in him in the first place and even though he knew this himself, he still blamed himself.How could he not? I sympathized with him and as he hurt, we hurt too. He killed Olivia and then also went ahead to kill Bastien when trying to kill my mom who was protecting him from killing his own brother.It was a very horrible ex
Claimed By The Romania Brothers The End
MIAWhat was going on? I was supposed to be dead was I not? Instead, everywhere seemed bright and happy.Not the dark and cold embrace of death that took hold of me earlier, what was going on? I could feel the sunlight on my face and I could hear birds chirping happily in the distance.My hands went to my chest, to where the blade was plunged into me, I felt around the skin frantic, there was no scar, no depression, no sign that I had sustained any injury of any kind at all.I opened my eyes and looked around, I had to blink to adjust my eyes to the brightness that was all around me.I was lying in a field and I was wearing a short rosy gown as opposed to the dark blouse and the tight jeans I had on when I was stabbed.I sat up, the grasses were about two feet high and they were swaying in the soft breeze that was blowing, it was all I could see for miles, a field covered in green grasses and hills all around.I got up and walked through the grasses bare-foot, there was just something
Claimed By The Romania Brothers Plan Gone Wrong
IVANWith Mia captured, it was different, we were able to track her thanks to her mother, things were happening so fast that it felt like I would not even be able to keep up.Mia had been sent away by her mother and then Javier had attacked us and defeated all of us easily, he was about to end my life, my brother, and that was when Olivia stepped in.Why did she step in? Maybe she felt responsible somehow and was trying to make amends but that didn't work, she just ended up getting killed by the man she called her bestie, it was tragic.Now we were all in Bastien's car heading towards the site of the ritual. Sarcana had been able to track Mia to where she was being held.All that was on my mind at this point was to kick down the front door and rush in to rescue her, but I knew deep down we didn't have the strength to stop our adversaries, we were most likely going for a suicide mission."How are we going to take down all those guys and free Mia?" Leo asked.That was when Sarca
Claimed By The Romania Brothers Rage
JAVIEREverything was dark all around me, I was wrapped up in a cocoon of darkness and I did not know what was happening in the world around me.Then without any warning, a powerful shockwave hit me and put a crack in my cocoon, a ray of light filtered in and I reached for it immediately and tore at the cocoon until there was a hole big enough for me to climb through.It then felt like I was slowly rising to the surface after being submerged in a deep dark liquid for too long, it took me a while to fully return to my senses and when I did, I was overwhelmed and confused.The first thing I noticed was all the chanting and screaming, there were a lot of people around, wolves, I could tell and then something else, I could smell death in the air, vampires too.I had never been in the company of so many of them before then I locked eyes with Mia and I remembered what I had done to her.Not just to her, to Olivia, to my brother, to her mother, to Bastien, and Leo, oh my goodness, I was such
Claimed By The Romania Brothers The Ritual
MIASo the ritual was going to happen in an hour, which meant that was exactly how long I had left to live. I turned my gaze to Javier with pleading and tears in my eyes.He just stood there like a robot or a statue, looking past me and not seeing anything at all.Was I really to take the words of the high priest Antonio? Was Javier lost to me? A part of me still felt that he was my last hope, that somehow he was the solution to solving the problem that was right in front of me.The wolf bane in my system made me suddenly groggy, I was afraid that if I fell asleep now, it would be my last slumber. I had to find a way to fight this feeling, I needed to be awake for my remaining time on the planet.The more that I tried to fight the sleep, the more it attacked me until I had no choice but to close my eyelids and succumb to it.As soon as my eyes closed, I realized that I was indeed in a vision. This one was different in the sense that it forced itself upon me, usually, when I fell aslee

MIA"How can you say such a thing about my mate, Javier? He is not cursed!" I countered the high priest Antonio."I did not mean to offend you, chosen one, I was just saying things as I saw it. Javier Romanov is cursed by the prophesy, he is the harbinger of doom and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to change that.""No, you are wrong, there is always a way and I will find it," I said stubbornly.The high priest shook his head at me, "There are far more precious things for the chosen one to be doing than fixating over a lost cause.""He is not a lost cause, stop calling him that."He got up from his meditative stance, "We have waited for the chosen one for a while now and here you are finally. You have a lot to learn, you need to learn how to use your powers to stop the forces of darkness that are converging. Only you can do it.""I don't care about any of that," I snapped, "I only care about saving Javier."Antonio sighed, "I have told you, it is a lost cause.""Then I have
Claimed By The Romania Brothers Signs Of Doom
IVANMy heart felt bad for Mia, having to swap her out in the middle of a serious fight like this but I was totally on board with my dad's reasoning.We could all think better and work better without Mia here, if she was not around for us to worry about, we could focus on the task of getting my brother back."Where did you send her?" I asked her mom."I..." Bastien cut her off."Don't tell him," he commanded."What? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I said, anger rising in my chest."It's not what you think son, better if only she knew exactly where Mia is, for security reasons.""You think that I would rat out my mate's location if I get tortured or something like that?""You might not have a choice, Rylee is a powerful psychic. The only one among us here that can counter her mental prowess is Sarcana. So it is best if only she knew where Mia was and besides," he looked at Leo, "You might not rat her out but someone else here might.""Great, keep treating me like a criminal wh
Claimed By The Romania Brothers A Damned One
MIAMy mother's words filled me with a sense of doom and gloom and made me sick to the stomach. How could she say something like that? Did she not know what Javier meant to me? How could she say that there was nothing we could do about it?We just got him back after he had been on the brink of death for so long, and now we were losing him again to some strange curse that I had never heard of.Was it not possible for us to catch a break? "Mom, c'mon, you can't say that there must be something we can do to help him."She shook her head sadly at me, "I am sorry dear but this situation is out of our hands, all we can do now is take precautions."Leo was not having any of that, "Maybe you might have hit your head a little too hard because I think you said that Javier cannot be helped. Or am I the one who did not hear you right?""I'm sorry, Leo, this is dark magic, there is no way out of it," Sarcana said to him. She was more apologetic than usual."Like hell, there is nothing we can do? W

JAVIERIt was a shock to me that I was standing right there, so close to her. I wanted to reach out and rip out her throat but my body would not let me do that.I cussed inwardly, this was bad, by the looks of things she was the one responsible for what was happening to me, if I could just take her out, the spell or whatever the hell this was would be broken.She was still smiling and had not yet answered the question I asked her earlier, I repeated it with much difficulty, the dark liquid that I was drowning in made talking very difficult.“What the fuck do you want from me?” I said baring my teeth.“There is no point in a puppet asking its master what the goals of the master are. Its job is just to obey wordlessly and move as the master pulls its string.” She said and laughed hoarsely.I took another step forward, “I am not your damn puppet you sick witch, tell me how to break this spell.”She stopped smiling and locked eyes with me, “Why the hell would I do something like that?
