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 I waltz in and they all have their heads bowed. I wasn’t able to meet Davil for the introduction yesterday because of the ruckus at the pack, so it was moved to today. I halt before Davil , his head is bowed. I jump on him and hug him as he swings and chuckles into my ear. He drops me but my head is still on his chest as I hear his peaceful heartbeat. Why did I hug my brother? Simple. He protected me. He was willing to burn down the pack for me. That is the greatest form of love. I am grateful he didn’t hurt Aiden though because I have never had it in me to hurt my brother. Even if he does things that everyone else does to annoy me, when he do it my heart melts. He has been my strength, my weakness and my world. How stupid of me to forget? “I am sorry for all the words I said to you. I-“, Davil holds my face and kiss my forehead and pull away. “I am sorry I let Tasha walk all over you. Never again”, he smiles and I nod and hug him one last time. “
