Sasha Vahemir "What did you do?", Beatrice squats beside me as I cross my leg and read one of Aiden's newspaper in the living room She is in pain, her face squeezed into a frown and I can hear her stomach growl and I bite my lips to stop me from bursting into an uncontrollable laughter. "Oh yeah, I added a little something into the food ", my eyes still glues to the newspaper. "But you ate it" "I drank an antidote after. I warned you guys about letting me cook. Next time you would urge the maids to cook", I wink at her and chuckle. Oh this will be fun. I can't wait to see Aiden's face. Everyone comes downstairs one after the other, they look drained and tired. Some sits down while some stand behind the sofa and rests on it. Thankfully they have enough water. I pretend like I don't see them. I turn to the next page. "What have you done?" "She poisoned us" "How did she do it? She ate it", her mum says in disbelief. "Don't e
Aiden Bahedia I turn and notice Sasha walking away. I sit up and my head starts to ache. I groan and breath heavily. Sasha halts on her track and spurn to stare at me. "Alex brought that drink that is at the drawer. He couldn't enter because he seems to be pissed. Drink it or not. I have delivered my message", she swirl and walk out of the room. I grab it and gulp it at a go and it gives a sweet bitter taste that I love. I shut my eyes and allow the drink hit. My bones starts strengthen and the wave of weakness and fatigue leaves. Where did he get this drink? I open my eyes feeling better. I take a deep breath and leave the room. As I walk through the hallway I halt when I see Sasha and Alex been in a heated arguments. They pause at the sight of me, Sasha rests on the wall while Alex avoids eye contact. "Alex-" "Can't you see I am talking to him?", Sasha snaps and holds him back. "Excuse us, Alex-" "Stay", I tilt my neck to arch my eyebr
SASHA VAHEMIR "I spoke to Aiden", Alex eyes light up and I smile as I arch my eyebrow. About? "He loved your idea- my idea now, I modified it" "Modified it how?" "Instead of the councils children to fight on the the pre annual bout, they will do that on the annual bout. If the pre annual bout is a success and a lot of people turn up, they will watch that in the annual bout. What do you think?", he places his thumb in his mouth and bite his nails. I can hear his heart beat fast. I smile. My opinion matters to him. "That is phenomenal ", he hit the conference table and raise his hands in an attempt to jubilate and I laugh. Alex is cute. "You needed to see their reaction. They were proud of me. The respect on their face. Damn, I wish you were there to see it", his laughter slowly dies as he smiles and stares admirably at me. "I wish I was there" "Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?", I chuckle as I shake my h
AIDEN BAHEDIA As Susan's head rolls and hit the hard ground, my heart shatters into a million piece and my chest aches for my best friend and his family. Alex and Sebastian would be devastated. How did they take her from under my roof and I didn't even notice? This is why she has been brewing with happiness earlier today. I look forward and my eyes meet an excited Sasha, satisfaction gleams on her face and I wanted nothing more than to slap it off her face. I fought the urge to massacre the man than beheaded her because if I did, it will be suicide. It is too early to make an attack. It is to attack them where it hurt- Sasha Vahemir. I clenched my jaw and tighten my fist, my veins throb. You made a smart move Sasha by sitting in an opposite direction or I would have sliced your throat and damn the consequences. They knew what they were doing when they invited leaders only with no body guards and made it mandatory. That is why Sasha was happy on Victoria's arri
Sasha Vahemir I look out the window and I don't see a soul. I sigh and swirl, my hand resting on the wall. No one has called for me today. I can't show my face in the funeral or they would behead me and damn the consequences. I didn't think Susan's mum would commit suicide. And what hurts more is the silent treatment Alex is giving me. I haven't seen him since yesterday. I look out the door. How can I make things right with Alex? Let me not even talk about Aiden. He didn't sleep in the room as me yesterday. It is like he is avoiding something, something like suffocating me with a pillow, pouring me acid, etc. The heat that emitted from him yesterday was enough to make me swallow each and every tantrums and pride I had. It took enough strength to muster a comeback. I saw each and every hurt in his eyes. I felt a little sting on my chest with just a glance at him. He could barely look me in the eyes. The maids didn't even prepare dinner or breakfast. Seb, let m
AIDEN BAHEDIA I am sitting on one of the chairs in my room staring at her. My chest heaving from numerous emotions. Why does she put me in situations that involves me running to her rescue? I can hear the pack sing a hymn which we sing on funerals. It is more like a farewell song. My palm were sweaty and an unusual fear grips me, it was then I knew it wasn't from me. Here I was thinking that first time was the last. My chest raced so fast I am still in shock I didn't fall on my way here. The thought of her in pain, her head bows, her hands on the wall begging for support made me go weak on my knees. I involuntarily hold unto her before she falls to the ground. Then Alex appeared, he smells of alcohol and sweat. I had to hold myself back from hitting his head on the wall. I thought he hurt her due to his rage until I saw the worried look on his face. Her eyes been with relief and jealousy when he sees her in my arms. I carried her bridal style and she holds unto my arm,
CHAPTER 30 SASHA VAHEMIR I open my eyes and notice a duvet on me. I sit up, I don't remember walking into this room not to talk of laying down. A battle goes on, on the left side of my brain causing me to grit my teeth and breath heavily. I touch everywhere around the bed in search of my phone but I don't see it. I struggle to stand up and when I eventually stand to my feet, the battle gets too intense in my head, I stagger and stretch my hand, in the hopes I touch the wall. My eyes are shut because of how much of a pain I am in, I fear that if I open my eyes, it would be too much for me to handle. Where is this stupid wall or curtain? I continue to stretch until I trip on something and I don't land on the tiles.......again. The person helps me to the bed and lies me down. The person was so gentle with me like he is scared I will break. This person smells just like Aiden Bahedia. He smells like he just took his bath. "Take", Aiden's voice echoes in the room and
AIDEN BAHEDIA We stand outside of the door waiting for my cousins arrival. I haven't seen them for six years. I got a call yesterday saying they would be coming today to stay for awhile. I am excited to see my cousin Ashie. We used to be really close before she moved with her family- they stayed within the reach of the coven. She married two years ago and gave birth a month ago. Their car drives into the compound. Sasha is standing by my right, on my left hand is Seb, Alex. Ashie Cadio steps out of the car carrying a child in her hand. She hasn't changed much and her hair seems shorter. Her white curly hair, the length of her shoulder, doe eyes, a neatly done micro blading, small pointed nose, grey eyes. She has four piercing on her right earlobe and none of her left earlobe. She is wearing a black palazzo trouser on a blue long sleeve crop top, her wolf and dagger tattoo on her stomach are visible. I shake my head and smile. She hasn't changed one bit. Her Russia
SASHA VAHEMIR The page flips and end at a certain page, and I understand. It is the evil presence in my room trying to communicate with me. "The individual conjuring the spell must make a pact and sacrifice something they love to ensure the wicked of evil spirit don't possess the body", I translate to English as I read it aloud. "What do you need?"I ask no one and every spirit around, and the page flips backwards, and it stops at a certain page, and the subheading is written 'HUMANITY'. "If I come back in one piece, I'd give you more than my humanity" I promise, and the candle lights on its own. The page flips to the page of reliving ones memories and life history. Why am I making pact with the spirit? I am seeing things that are ikely to happen as a newborn or while mum was pregnant with me. And I am staying longer than usual, so many evil spirits roam and search for an available host, and I need a little backup...... more like a little protection. Do I trust the
AIDEN BAHEDIA Ever since Sasha's appearance the pack as been in disarray and it is hard calming everyone one downing seeing as the person we are going to war with is the coven and Sasha Vahemir. With a threat like hers it shouldn't be taken lightly. Would I have the heart to fight against the woman I love? The answer is no but love is never enough. We must fulfill our duties to our people now. As I walk to my parents room to talk to my dad, I hear my parents argue. I halt to hear what the fight is about so I know how to tackle it. "You knew?", Dad asks in utter shock and disgust. "Oh I knew. They needed to dethrone her and her father won't bulge. Her dad would have been a big threat to our revolution so we used his daughters discovery against him and it worked. They promised me security, he promised me things and he kept to it. They waited patiently until she was old enough. But they made sure we started breaking her as she got a little older. Do I hate her personal? No but
SASHA VAHEMIR There is laughter, jubilations as we feast because of Tash's new born. He has been carrying his child. He refuses to let the child feel the warmth of another. Abigail has been smiling but with a glint of sadness or is it.....regret? She has been brewing with laughter as she stares at her husband and her son. She must be proud of Tash. She really hit a jackpot. "It will be me soon", Tasha's excited voice whispers into my ear from behind me and I spurn and hold her in my arms and she laughs. "You are in your feels. Not bad Sasha. Not bad", I push her away lately pretending to be angry and she comes back into my arms, she uses my hand to wrap around her herself while I act all stubborn and non chalant. "Come on. I am your only sibling. I should be given special treatment", I lock my hands with her at my middle. She is the split image of the woman in the limbo but alot younger. Why is that so? Someone nudge me and I tilt my neck to the side and I see Victo
SASHA VAHEMIRI stare at the card in my hands and everyone I love are circling me, everyone except Davil. I don't know how to feel about any of these. I don't know why I can't feel anything. It is like I have lost my ability to feel. It is like the pain became to much for me to bear so my brain shut down my ability to feel. Tasha is sitting beside me as she holds my arm. They all stare at me with pity in their eyes. He is marrying his mistress two days after I signed the divorce. I don't know how I should feel about this. "If you don't go I won't", Tasha rest her head on my shoulder after speaking. "Say the word and we will all stay back", Tash utters. I should go. I will attend the wedding. I want to know how quick it is for him to throw everything we both shared out like it didn't happen. I want to know if there will be any trace of guilt in his eyes when he says his vow to the woman he had sex with right before me. "I will attend the wedding", I place my han
AIDEN BAHEDIA I knock at the door. My chest aches so much and I know it isn't from me. It is from Sasha. The door opens and Sasha's eyes are red like she has been crying. She just opens the door and walks towards the bed, no hug, no kisses, nothing. "You okay?", I ask and she just ignores me and sit on the bed as she bites her lips as tears fall. I look at the tiles and I see the test result and I sigh. She saw it. I kneel before her and hold her hand and she shakes her hand off mine. She is angry. Please not now Sasha. Please. "I told you we can't have kid-" "Did you ever want a child? Because that is the vibe I am getting off you", she spits out and I lose my cool. "That is harsh. Yes I want kids with yo-" "Oh stop those lies. You heard I couldn't give birth and you stopped trying. You didn't ask if it could be reversed. You left me to mourn our child on my own. I begged you to stay, if you had stayed I will still be carrying our child. I wasn't important
SASHA BAHEDIA I wake up in the morning to an empty bed, body pain and a cold weather. I rub my eyes and stand up and I stretch before leaving the bed. I don't see Aiden around. Did he just leave after having an aggressive sex that felt so much like a goodbye? I just sigh and check my phone incase he sent a message. I check and I see a message from him, it reads; I went out for some urgent work and I won't be around until later today. The maids are at your service. I called Tasha to keep you company. I love you so much and take care of yourself. I walk to the bathroom to take my bath. I come out of the closet wearing a black short on one of Aiden's big red shirt and my slippers and I bump into an excited Tasha. She hugs me and then pull away. She draws my hand towards the bed and we both sit down. "So I have something fun planned for us. Today is for just us. We get to talk and catch up", Tasha squeeze my hand and nod. "So let us get going", she stands up and drag me
AIDEN BAHEDIAAs my wife waltz in, she runs into my arms and hugs me so tight and I know something is wrong but I don't ask. She would tell if she wants me finding out. I lead her to our room and all we do is cuddle in my arms until she fell asleep. What did you do Taet? "Baby? Let us try to have another baby", her voice is low but catches me off guard. "Baby gir-" "Please", she holds unto my chest and the straddle around me as she plant kisses over my face. I gently push her off me and lay her down beside me. She sits up and arch an eyebrow waiting for an explanation. Why these sudden behavior? She came home sad and disturbed and now she wants kids. Did she forget when I said we can't have kids? "Stop please. I am not having sex because I want kids. I can have sex because you want it or I want you. But for kids that is nonesense talk. Stop making it hard to accept that I can't have a kid", I feel my anger slowly rise and I stand to my feet and turn my back
SASHA BAHEDIA "This isn't the Darcs castle", I speak up when taet and I enters my room. We are at a hotel. At the outskirt of Dahmatra. I spurn to Taet as I wait for an explanation. "There is a protective spell hovering around this hotel so no word said here gets out. We can't take the risk of talking about this when people are around. We don't know who to trust. So I suggested this. Don't worry we are not staying in the same ro-", he walks down the hall and opens a door. I walk behind him and he opens and say under his breath in Italian, "Un solo lavoro Veda, un solo lavoro" I laugh when I see what she did. I and Taet will be sharing the same bathroom. Taet couldn't even look at me and I just smile. "It is fine. We just have to knock whenever we want to use the toilet", I try to calm him down. "We will meet back in your room in five minutes", he shuts his door and I hear him cuss and I just smile stupidly.**** His room is very simple just a bed, cen
SASHA BAHEDIA I open the door of our room and look out the window and I see both men turning their back against each other. Aiden speaks and then walks towards the building. Davil swirl and looks at Aiden and smiles at him. He is proud of him but I wonder why. Davil looks up and I wave and Davil waves before entering his car. I watch his car leave and my chest aches. He didn't think I needed comforting, is it because he wanted me to pick up myself with any help from him. Is it because now isn't the time for some pity party? Is it because he is happy he took a little of his pound of flesh and didn't see the need to pretend? I really want him hugging me and assuring to bring the culprit the justice but he can't because that involves bringing himself to justice. Do I want that? I really hope this makes you feel better because it is does I will gladly watch you ruin me. "Sorry I took l-", I feel Aiden's hand wrap around my waist his head on my shoulder and he kisses my c
