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. “
SASHA VAHEMIR “Are you there yet?”, Davil asks over the phone. “Yes, I am”, I nod. “There are a lot of Vampires here. More people come tomorrow, won’t they?”, I ask and he chuckles. “Oh yeah. More from both families. Prominent personnels as well. So hold your head high, be graceful and have fun”, he advice and I roll my eyes as I pace around my room. “What about mum? I haven’t seen her in a couple of days”, I ask and he sighs. “She and Mrs Darc went to Belgium to gather some information, Mr Timon’s wife will meet them there after she rounds up some business deals. Mr Darc and Mr Timon are on their way to France right now”, he answers. “What do y- what is actually going on? I don’t like this. I don’t like the fact they are doing this for me”, I blurt out my thoughts. “They are doing it for the kingdom. We are done doing nothing. He crossed a line by appearing to you and we need to find the asshole and kill him. Don’t worry about them. They are stro
AIDEN BAHEDIA I touch the space beside me and I don't feel her. I open my eyes in horror and jerk out of the bed and look around the room but don't see her. I run out of the room and down the stairs as my heart race so fast. How did they get her right under my roof and I didn't notice? I halt when I see her talking with Mr Tyrone and Raven, with new guest surrounded around the castle. They neck turn to me dramatically as they widen their eyes while Raven burst into an uncontrollable laughter. Sasha uses her hand to touch her face in embarrassment. Mr Tyrone is smiling from ear to ear. I look down and knew why they were like that. I ran downstairs in only a boxers. I shut my eyes in a brief embarrassment. She walks to me and hold my hand and introduce me to everyone. Isn't she embarrassed? She is Queen. This could make headline but she didn't care. She is proud and I just smile. I grab her by the hand and into our room. "Were you that scared?", She tease and I roll m
SASHA BAHEDIA I stand before the mirror the size of a TV in the closet and love how the Milla Hydrangea dress looks on me. The red flower print suits my style and Aiden walks into the closet. He stands behind me and I swirl for him and he smiles and I pull me to him. He bends down and kiss my lips. "Does the slit have to be this long?", He whispers in my ear and I push him away. "The slit is so pretty. Don't worry no one dares touch what it yours", I peck his lips and get to looking at the crown braid I made early this morning. "You are breathtaking", he kiss my hair from behind me, his hands slides around my waist and I smile "Sasha Vahemir can't be caught looking homeless", I say boldly and he shakes his head smiling. "I can wait for y-", I spurn and wrap my hand around his waist and raise my heels to kiss him. "Raven and I will come soon. Mr Tyrone said relatives of my mum will be visiting today so I need to stay back to meet them", I kiss him agai
AIDEN BAHEDIA I am seated on the chair as I watch her hoping and praying she wakes up. I told Mr Tyrone that we don't want any guest today. He agreed. So thankfully she gets to sleep as much as she wants too but first I need her to open her eyes. I need to be sure she is fine. I feel stupid for leaving my wife's safety in the hands of her step cousin who loathes her. What the hell was I thinking? I should have come back for her after the antenatal or even waited in the lobby for her. I just stupidly waited for her call or text. I should have known something was wrong when the door locked. I should have fought harder to break out so I can help my baby. I hear a soft knock on the door and I give permission for the person to enter and I hear footsteps but it ends when the person is beside me. "Thank you for saving me. Thank you", Abigail thanks me and I nod, obviously not in the mood for this. "Please Sasha mustn't know about what we talked about", Abigail burd
