"He thinks no punishment can affect him. He is so full of himself like his mother..." Mana was constantly rumbling while pacing around the room. She was still affected by Zackarya's words from the previous morning as she denied me to have breakfast with everyone today in order to not take Zackarya's glance. The thought in her mind that I also wanted to punish gave her a newfound confidence in all her planning as I admit that I said something like that but now I didn't want to proceed this punishment thing further. I didn't know why? May be I am a grown up. Yes that could be the reason.My conscience spoke in a sarcastic manner as I couldn't roll my eyes because of the make-up artist doing my eye makeup with a small delicate brush.We had a ball today. It was just a small ceremony as it was custom to do a ball in this part of the year in Dark Spades. Zackarya didn't follow any customs that were set by my father or my ancestors. He wanted to build everything on his own."Sorry to int
The moment I felt the heat enough to make me go insane I found him standing far across the Hall with some of his advisors. He wasn't wearing any mask unlike others. I felt his jaw clenched as it was twitched from one side. His gaze was on my hand that was on Vermin's elbow as it was travelling from me then his face. I feared for Vermin at that time. He didn't know how much Zackarya hated to lose. My spine wasn't stable as electric shocks were running up and down were making me hard to stand on my legs as when I was about to remove my hand from Vermin’s elbow Mana appeared from nowhere. "Don't. Stick to him for the rest of the night and let me enjoy the show." When I first met Mana I thought she would be the grumpiest person with short tempered and dry personality. More dry than Oren but she crushed my expectation into pieces because she was the one who used to extract fun from different scenarios. She was finding this funny that Vermin's life was in danger just because my hand was
"I think you don't know the rules of this game." A hard punch landed on that man's jaw making him knocked down on the floor. I didn't have to look up at the source of the voice as it was him. He was close to him as I was stiff on my spot while looking at him from close. He was wearing the same black buttoned up shirt as the buttons were matched with the golden shade of my mask. His hairs were set beautifully as few flicks were falling on his forehead till his thick eyebrows. His eyes weren't on me but on the man who was trying to get up from the floor. The guards came and besides his pleas they took him away. The dance around resumed with one glare of Zackarya as they stopped to look at the scene we just created for them. First the Queen came with someone else and then the Queen's husband knocked down a man dancing with her. They must be enjoying all of this. "Hey you weren't supposed to be near her.""Are you alright?"Mana and Vermin came together with everyone else as Conner wal
My heart was heavy as I could hold its load anymore. I was too weak to walk with a heavy heart with crumbled pieces of some small feeling that few people called hope and some called expectations. I didn't expect to happen that to me exactly but I hoped for something to happen that could make me feel loved. Not lust, not fear, not greed juts love.I didn't go inside the Hall as I wasn't even breathing properly out in the fresh air then how could be able to breathe among the crowd. My cheeks were wet as I didn't care to wipe them. Instead of them I decided to feel the slaps of cold breeze against my cheeks as if saying that stop it now. Stop crying and do something for your self-respect. Why you girls always sacrifice your self-respect for someone who doesn't even love you like you deserve and you never make sacrifices for them who truly loves you? Why you always run behind those who don't show interest in you but don't those who are already behind you? You just have to do one thing an
AUTHOR'S POV: He kept standing there looking at her back retreating in front of his eyes. He wanted that to happen but there is always one part inside you that always opposes to what you have decided. He also thinking the same crushed that noise with the load of his stoned heart. Heart had only work and that too crush whatever needs erupted in his chest. He could only take work from his brain and that seemed to be right always but he couldn't understand what his heart wanted because a thick rocky cover was surrounded all over it to avoid him to feel what was going inside it. Eyes staring at the same spot from where she just left he sat down near the lake. His reflection was formed in the water with a disrupted image but he didn't even want to look at himself at that time. He at least deserved that loath from himself after hurting her. Her hatred towards him was weak but that was all he wanted. But to make it strong he added some of it too as many people hated him. ...they are scar
He didn't expect that. He never expected that as he felt his whole world froze for a second and he was the only one alone moving and feeling things that were ready to crush him down even if they weigh nothing for him because he was ready to be crushed. The soldiers at the back gate explained everything to him as he looked at the dark path that was opening into the dark forest that opened into the village. Wasn't she scared of dark?His conscience mocked as many questions were swirling inside his head although his face was extremely serious devoid of any emotion of anger and resentment. Little did everybody know that a storm was whirling inside that calm posture for his? No she was more scared for you. His inner voice spoke as he got to know in the previous days that he had any inner voice that only participated in the matters related to his kitten. "Should we go after her sir?" One of the soldiers asked as he diverted his eyes from that dark path of which end couldn't be seen. S
Two days had been passed since the drastic plays fate had played with him. He didn't believe in fate as his hard work and the usage of his mind always came first as he also hadn't accepted fate as according to him it was he, himself, who made her gone forever. The soldiers who stopped Amairah from going out were made shut in order to not leak any rumour related to Amairah. She was sick and couldn't come out of her room were spread by them and people believed that because acknowledging how powerful she was she couldn't get hurt but could hurt others. Many of the people were contended hearing about her sickness as they didn't want a itch to rule over them, both humans and werewolves and some people were anxious who was eager to have her with them so that they could use her for the war they were going to have with the Eastern Howls. Everybody knew Eastern Howls were never that powerful that they could even think to attack Dark Spades but now they had a weapon. A powerful weapon that
"I-I am just furious that our work got wasted. We were working for almost a month. We almost did the three months worth of work in just a month" He gave a reason but they were still looking at him with scanning eyes and he was getting uncomfortable when Zackarya straightened a little bit to move towards him and he abruptly jumped back when he finally admitted what was the real reason of or his sudden outburst. "Fine..." He groaned and Zackarya folded his arms to listen to him keenly. "Celine, my mate, she...she is pregnant." Conner blurted out. "I want to be with her when she conceives." He explained as all of their faces lightened immediately. "HELL YOU F**KER!" Kaz exclaimed while punching him in the stomach. Ouch!"Congratulations! Why didn't you tell us before?" The next one was General as Conner smiled while hugging him. The next one to hug him was Zackarya as he smiled brightly after two whole days after hearing this good news from him. They all were happy for him.Conner lov
"I f**king love you." He said as he finally made her laid down on his chest. The sun was peeking through the window as now he was the witness too about their sinful actions like the moon and stars. "You didn't let me sleep." She pouted as her eyelids were heavy and she was dead sore from everywhere. He bit her everywhere. Her nipples were numb because of his assault as she couldn't feel her legs anymore. She felt like her soul had been sucked out of it. "Trust me you didn't need sleep." He said referring towards the moans the whole night. She enjoyed every bit of it especially when he took her against the wall. She just turned beetroot as she snuggled her face more into his bare chest. His chest was hard rock but she found it more comfortable than her feathery pillow."Is kaz here too?" She suddenly remembered as she asked out of curiosity. Amber pulled the same stunt as her. "No Amber has been abducted." He said and she swiftly got up looking at him with wide eyes but she soon rel
The sun rays were falling on her face as there wasn't any shadow provided by the curtains.Her hairs were tied in a bun a few flicks touching her cheeks and neck. The crown of her mother was sitting on her hair in all its glory going perfectly with her golden gown with embroidery of black stones on them. The stones were shining black as they were the most expensive beads due to the rare color found in its kind.These days the color of her heart was also the same just like black pearls. "People like you now." One of her maids said walking behind her. She just shook her head at it's been five days and eighteen hours since she had laughed. Since he had left. Since she was all alone despite being crowded by so many people. They were coming back towards the castle as she held a meeting with civilians to know about their problems and their views about her. She was ruling her own Kingdom now—her Fated Kingdom. People were no more scared of her and she could consider that as victory and th
He never bears lies and hates liars. You can say kill them...She remembered. Mana once told her but she never thought that she would ever be exposed to him. She decided to tell him when the right time would come but fate wasn’t on her side on this. Fate had given her the biggest blessing by giving him to her. By letting him open the door of her cage. But it also had made her suffer the hardships too. Everything comes with sacrifices and she believed in that but she would never sacrifice Zackarya and she hoped for that. She couldn't win against the will of fate."We will talk about it. I'll tell you everything. What do you want right now?" She asked again feeling her heart beating against her cheek. He hummed and his chest vibrated. "Stay here." His large rough hand caressed his back. He must eat something but he wasn't letting her move so she gave in and melted inside him willingly.There was an eerie silence between them as Zackarya eyes were closed. He was just taking in her sweet
Zackarya was already bleeding inside out and everything happened so suddenly that the last thing he looked at was Amairah and the last thing she looked into his eyes was broken trust for her. She broke him by her single lie. No matter if it was small or big she lied to him and made everything brittle between them."No..No...keep your eyes open." Amairah moved over to him. She patted his face but he couldn't keep his eyes open. He could never handle such a strong stroke of a witch. Amairah was screaming to open his eyes but he didn't and then he laid their lifeless with his eyes closed. "Look I would listen to everything you say. I would never tease you. I will let you do everything with me but don't do this Zackarya. My heart is sinking. Your kitten's heart is sinking. Your kitten will die too please." She was crying as she grabbed his jaw but no response came. Her tears were falling down on his face but he wasn't even flinching."Ahah!...I am the King of Dark Spades now. I waited for t
Fire. The whole castle was burning into ashes. The flags of Dark Spades were on fire getting in contact with the wave of fire. The flowers of the garden that Amairah prepared with so much heart were now turning into black sand as everything was eventually reaching its end. Zackarya got down from the horse as his face was devoid of any emotion but his heart was contended. Everything was going to be his plan and his people were safe too. "Haven't anyone told you that it's f**king ill-mannered to just f**k in someone's house without permission." His deep baritone voice echoed in the hall where his lifelong enemies were present. He didn't own any throne as he used them whenever there was a grand ceremony. So the king was just standing up on the stage looking at him but he was amazed looking at the three witches. They all shook his head at the General waiting for them with the soldiers at the upper aisle. He was looking all prepared.The two of them were the wizards with colourful hairs
We are under attack! She was too stunned to speak while Zackarya didn't even flinch after hearing that. His eyes were just fixed on Orester who was drenched in blood while it was oozing out from his different wounds on different parts. Zackarya raised his hand and a soldier standing beside him abruptly gave him his sword. Zackarya walked forward with his hawk-like eyes fixed on Orester. Everybody was looking at them as Orester had his eyes fixed on him with worry, pain and concern on his face. "Did you enjoy it?" Amairah’s eyes widened when he raised his sword against Orester's neck. Orester first looked at him with horror but gradually a smirk appeared on his lips. "Zackarya what are you doing?" Amairah asked as the sword was digging into Orester's skin. "He is the traitor." Kaz answered with his jaw and clenched and murderous eyes fixed on Orester. They all just looked at him with shock except the one who already knew. "What?" Amairah was in utter shock as she trusted him. He
Amairah and Amber ran into the fields as the butterflies flew away making them sigh. It was the first time for both of them to go on a picnic that's why they were looking more enthusiastic than anyone else. Soon Celine and Charlotte also joined them as they decided to set the camps. The picnic was for the servants too so everyone worked together to set the camps and bring the luggage from the cart. They decided to do a barbecue as there was vast space in-between the fields to do so. "What happened to you?" Zackarya asked as he saw the sullen face of Vermin. He could get his aura of anxiousness. "Looks like someone has snatched your toy." Conner also complimented. "Well someone has forcefully given me a toy." He said and walked away with the same face. They just shrugged their shoulders at him. They played everything in the fields as Amairah asked Zackarya to join them too but he didn't, saying. "I don't play like this." His deep gruff voice made her realize not to ask him again.
"She is right. You guys are working very hard these days. Take some steam off." Mana said as they all were sitting on the dining table. Charlotte chirped at Mana's words as she finally agreed with her. If she wanted to go to the lake then she would go. Indeed she was spoiled. "We are near of everything. We can't stop." General tried to give a reason. "Yes you are very near. Haven't you seen your soldiers? They are also very tired of training. Give some rest and get some rest. You guys are going to step into something very big." Mana asserted as they Zackarya looked at Amairah who was silently eating her breakfast. When he woke up this morning she wasn't in the room. She was also training very hard these days to excel in her powers. He wanted her to take some steam off too. "Where do you want to go?" He asked her as she looked upwards at him to assure he was talking to her or not. "Me?" She pointed her finger towards herself as Zackarya shook his head very slightly. Everybody was
"This lawn is beautiful." It was evening as they all were off their leisure selves after doing the entire chore. Mana decided to bring Charlotte with her too in the courtyard to have tea with them. "Yes our Queen likes the garden full of flowers." Oren answered while Charlotte looked at her with a smile. She liked that too but Amairah didn't like her smile."Well we never suspect that Zackarya would have a mate like you." Charlotte said amusingly as they all looked at her. Celine glared at her sister but to gain. She was stubborn. "What do you mean a girl like me?" Amairah asked as she didn't like why she was calling him Zackarya. Wasn't she supposed to call his sir or something else? But she couldn't say anything because they were family friends. They must have this bond. "You know he is very strong and rough while you are so...so like a sensitive and fragile girl." She didn't look amused but curious as if they won't fit well. Amairah just smiled at her. "I am a lightener." She s
