AIDEN BAHEDIA I step back to check if the dinner I planned is as good as I think. I had everyone vacate the house for today so that it will be just I and Sasha. I had a rose petal from her door till the dinning table. I don’t know her favorite but I made sure to put my best into what I cooked. I decided from now henceforth what I will show her is love beyond ones comprehension. I can’t tell her what I found until I am certain it is related to her. Hearing her say she can’t take one more lie made me realize I can’t do that to her. I should have been with her, if I was I am certain the coven won’t have double crossed her. That is the highest form of betrayal, her brother crowned as the sitting sourde de san the day she ought to be crowned one. No words can describe how hurt I was seeing her cry and almost jump to her death. My blood boiled so hot that if there was a Darc or El Musharc in sight I would have launched an attack as fast as possible. I swore to neve
SASHA VAHEMIR I walk downstairs and I see mum talking to Mrs Bahedia and Mr Bahedia and I halt. Where has mum been all these while and why is she here? She tilt her head to me and a brewing smile appears on her lips as she spread out her hand. I run to her arm and hug her so tight that she chuckles. Mum chuckled. I pull away and she pull me back to her arm and kissed my forehead. I sigh and rest my head on her chest. “Thank you for taking care of my little angel”, she smiles at the Bahedia couple and they nod. “Excuse us please”, they nod and leave the sitting room. “I was away for a few days and you turned my kingdom to a wrestling ground”, I pull away from her and look away. “I heard the announcement you both made. And the Darc-“, mum takes a deep breath and touch my cheeks. “I need you in the coven by 6pm, nothing later than tha-“ “Mum-“ “Are you disobeying me now?”, She furrow her eyebrow and I shake my head. “Good. I will have th
SASHA VAHEMIR “Did the air seize at this end”, I say as I barge into the castle as everyone do their things, they halt and tilt their neck like predictors who just caught a sight of their prey. “What do you mean?”, A masculine voice says admist the crowd in the house and I wait for the person to show his face and the face I see is the man I saw at the school. “The air seized at the pack. Anyone who isn’t a Darc should leave”, I order and they all stare like I lost all power. “And who are you to give orders?”, Davil talks from the arm chair as his hand and legs are crossed. “So that is how you want to play”, I nod my head aggressively. “Darc”, I call out and they all raise up their head and keeps a straight face. “I will wait for every Darc outside of the castle for three minutes and if none of you show forth so be it. Let it be recorded that I tried and whatever I find out myself I will assume it is the truth”, I walk outside the castle and stand
AIDEN BAHEDIA “This better be good”, Tash says immediately he steps down from the car and I give him my phone. He takes it from me and furrow his eyebrow. I take the phone from him and play a recording. “An insider is working with him”, she shut Tareem up. “He said he didn’t have to do anything but yet we are at each other’s throat”, she explains “I didn’t say that because I don’t want the person to raise their guard or be too conscious. You are not my favorite person right now but I trust you with my life”, she sighs. “Please help me fish out the person. I did the poison shit because I want the person thinking we are still at each other’s neck. See the antidote”, there is a brief silence. “Take the poison and they know we worked together. The nightmare last for a few night just hang on but if you can’t, take it and say you cooked it up so he knows we are not all weak”, Sasha’s voice pleading for him to trust her. “You have really grown, haven’t yo
AIDEN BAHEDIA I look at Andre, Alex and back at Andre it kills me to do this but I need to. I take a deep breath before telling them what I called them for. “I will be out for a day or two and I can only trust you both with my wife’s safety. These few days will be fun and relaxing and all I need is a assurance that my baby girl is safe”, I tell them and they stare at each other. “Does Seb know?”, Andre folds his hand and chuckle and I lie, I nod. “Don’t make it obvious I asked you both to keep an eye on her, any external or internal threat should be dealt with in respective of who they are”, I inform them and they are silent. “Uncle’s burial?”, Andre asks and I nod. “We will talk about it when I get back”, Andre nods. They stand up to leave but I tell them to stay back a little longer. “Don’t do anything to endanger her life, Andre. Don’t do anything stupid”, I earn Andre and he smirks. “I will keep her safe. You don’t have to ask”, he leaves the
SASHA VAHEMIR I stand before Aiden’s door and take deep breaths and stare at the door rehearsing what to say to him. I didn’t know he was doing it for me. I thought- I need to learn to lean on someone. I can’t fight this battle on my own. I hate to admit it but I need him. That plan was well thought of. They spread two different stories to different people. One, a great witch can force my powers hidden behind the trauma. Two, Davil been the official sitting sourde de san needs to get an ancient staff to be the sourde de san until I am ready. The second rumor would force him out definitely seeing as he wants to rub it on my dad after kicking my ass. I and Tareem went to the spot the supposed staff ought to be. We met someone but he disappeared when he caught our scent. Tareem said he smelt Tash’s dust and he knew he was facing a threat. I asked why he was worried, he said he has someone who he is protecting who might slow him down. So seeing Tash play with his preys after co
SASHA VAHEMIR “Mum”, Laura laughs loudly as Mrs Bahedia holds her hand as they sit comfortably on the sofa of the living room. “You need to be coming here more often. You are family”, Mrs Bahedia spits out. “I am not. Your son and I are not a couple anymore”, Laura complains. “What happened?”, Mrs Bahedia asks curiously. “He said he needs to focus on his marriage with Her Majesty”, Laura explains and Mrs Bahedia’s face squeezes into a frown. I hear the sound of the door leading to the other room and stairs and I divert my gaze there. Aiden stares at his mum and ex girlfriend and back to me. His eyes begging me to let him explain. I smile assuring him I trust him. I walk to him and wrap my hand on his waist and rest my head on his chest as I hear his aggressive heartbeat. It slowly becomes calm. He lift my chin and pecks my lips and wraps his hand around me and squeeze me. “I missed you”, he says and I smile. “I missed you too. I have a lot to
AIDEN BAHEDIA “What?”, I hear Tareem trying to calm down someone. I look out my window and see Tareem pushing a livid Davil back with one hand. Their voices are not loud. I just tap into my super hearing to listen on their conversation. It isn’t an invasion of privacy if they rant on my property. “Sasha called crying. I knew something was up with how lean and tired she looked and she assured me she was fine. I stopped checking on my little sister and they decide to make her miserable”, Davil complains and Tareem look around and up to my room as his eyes look at me. His pupil dilate and I know he is angry. “I will handl-“ “Let me handle it. She is my si-“ “She is my best friend. I know she was off too but we know she will stop us if we barge in. So calm down and let me handle it”, Tareem tries to make Davil reason with him. “You think I care about that. I should have never given her to this accursed family. Every day is like an unbearable curse for
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
