DARKEST LOVE (CURSED)
CHAPTER THIRTY ONEThe door pushed open and Kyran stared into the face of her husband.Her heart which had been racing so frantically eased a bit.She had thought she had been discovered by Lord Allanon, but it turned out to be Morgen, what was he looking for here? Had he followed her?"What are you doing here? " She asked, setting her voice and features in a neutral expression.
" I could ask the same about you, what are you doing in my brother's chamber? " Morgen shot out, he knew she was up to something from the moment she had walked past him with that glint in her eyes, he had silently followed her and had only been mildly surprised when he saw her entering his cousin's chamber.
For what reason could she have left all the celebrations and came here?
Of course, it could only be because she still had not gotten over her fascination with him. &
DARKEST LOVE (CURSED)CHAPTER THIRTY TWO**The faint sound of leaves rustling and the whistle from the evening breeze along with the faint chirping of the forests creature was the only sound heard.They both stared at each other, none moving an inch from their spot.Allanon's gaze was deep and unfathomable, what was going through his mind, Morgen couldn't tell.He staggered to his feet slowly wearing a bleak expression, His features were pale and under the moonlight that infiltrated through the leaves.The woman, or rather what was left of her which was merely a heap of bones and a few scattered rotten flesh was solid evidence against him."What is this Morgen?" Allanon's cold words sliced through the air like the crack of a whip.The tension radiating from both of them was in sizzling waves.A resigned and almost hopeless expression flashed across Mor
DARKEST LOVE (CURSED)CHAPTER THIRTY THREE**"Why did you leave? Do you know that I... " His words cut short, He walked towards her in long heavy strides, the chamber door shutting close behind him.The intense anxiety amidst other emotions that had shaken him when he had returned to that spot in the forest only to discover that she was missing.He had searched through the thick forest like a man insane.He had been barely able to think rationally as his sanity had slowly been ripping out of him, the darkness has started clawing out in full rage to destroy anything that had dared taken her away from him.Almost magically, she had appeared then, but she hadn't been alone, great aunt Elrida had been beside her, and before he had been able to utter a word, she had raced towards him, wrapping those arms around his waist, burying her face on
DARKEST LOVE (CURSED)CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR**"Why? "Morgen's voice was croaky as he stared at his father, his head was still reeling in disbelief, he stared at the older man, repulsion at what he had seen earlier clouding his gaze.His father was one of the heads of the council, he had always been power-hungry but never in his wildest imagination had Morgen thought that he would stoop to such an extent.Then Baden had made that request, one he had thought of turning down but had given in at the end, there had also been no time to hesitate.After all, he was still his father, in the woods, he had covered up for him, his father's rotten flesh had still been exposed Only a part of his face had been healed, there would have been no other evidence needed if Allanon had seen him."Why ?" He repeated.Why would his father have taken such a dangerous route? One
DARKEST LOVE (CURSED)CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE**The night was still young, Zara's gaze fluttered open from slumber, she couldn't remember what she had been dreaming about, she blinked to clear her eyes but couldn't see properly.It was dark.The heavy rain outside, the sound of wind whistling combined with the darkness sent a surge of fear through her spine.Why was it so dark?What had awoken her?A brief flash of lightning was accompanied by a powerful clash of thunder, it set her heart beating heavily, in powerful rhythmic thuds.A faint sound.She heard the same faint sound again and this time jolted to a sitting position, a strangled sound of terror escaping her throat.She couldn't see a thing, where did that come from? She squinted her eyes in the darkness, trying to figure out the source.She had no reason to be af
1The heavy rain pounded mercilessly into the dark moonless night.Her body shivered in the cold of the night as she hid amongst the many treesThe loud sound of thunder accompanied by a clash of lightening enacted a whimper from her mouth, she's always been afraid of the dark...So how had she fallen for the darkness himself? Allowed him to possess her soul.She clasped a cold shaky hands over her mouth willing herself to be quietThe sound of footsteps grew closerHe was searching for her....This was just like a game of hide and seek for him..."Where are you my love?"His loud melodious echoing the whole forestShe swallowed back a cry when she heard his dark laughter"I can smell you my darling , come to me now my love" he sang loudly in his usual angelic voiceShe shut her eyes trying to control her erratic bre
2After some time Zara's shock as to what had happened earlier wore off, but she was troubled about her mother , she looked so tensed and sad all day, when asked what the problem was she kept insisting that all was fine, but Zara knew she was far from it.To top it all she blatantly refused Zara to go from the house the rest of the day.After a simple dinner she lay down on their wooden bed and insisted Zara do the same.Zara reluctantly obeyed, nights like this was always the best, it was a full moon and their healer tribe which consisted of only women would dance around the fire until dawn, it was like a ritual which they carried out to please the goddess."Mother I'm not sleepy ,can I........" She started when her mother cuts in sharply"I've already said no! You stay here with me, you can read that book of yours instead but don't go out!"At her mother's words Zara's thought went back to what had happened earlierThinking about it now, they
3Allanon..He was dreaming ,he was with his beautiful Ara, his strong powerful wings soaring them through the beautiful sky, the whole universe was below their feet..The sound of her melodious sweet laughter filled the surrounding airShe looked at him with so much love and trust that made his heart swell with so many emotions.He soar them so high that would make even the birds jealous.Then everything changed....The sun vanished and the earth was filled with darkness, it became stormy as the sky opened its mouth to a heavy down pour on the earthHe looked at his lover in his arms ,only that she wasn't thereFear like he had never known gripped him"Ara!" He screamed at the top of his lungsHis strong wings carried him to search the entire forest"Ara!" He called out again still searching frantically for her.His nostrils caught her scent. But something was wrong.. Everything was. 
4Zara wondered why her mother told her to wait right outside while she went inside the seer's hut alone.Her mother's behavior was becoming even more suspicious but she wasn't telling her anything.Moira entered inside in shaky footsteps as she searched for the blind old shamanA scratchy laughter resonated the whole Hut followed by a wavery voice"There's no solution my child...the one who calls you mother has to go ,Its in her destiny! Nothing can hold her back....!" The seer spoke in a shaky but clear and firm voiceMoira knelt down and touched the old Shaman's feet " please you are the most powerful and knowledgeable in our entire tribe...help me save my beloved Zara" she pleadedShaman shook her head sadly" Dark days are coming...what's to happen will happen......all I can do is try"Moira's heart gleamed with hope at the seer's last sentence.The old woman began chanti

DARKEST LOVE (CURSED)Chapter Thirty.The merriment continued, each moment dragged by slowly for Allanon, each word of praise, every raised glass of toast soured his mood even more, but even more, he knew his presence here was required.The woman beside him consumed his mind, she had always been beautiful, but tonight, she shone with a different radiance he couldn't explain. He hadn't been the only one who noticed, the urge to carve out the leery glances the males around cast in her direction was overwhelming, he was regretting the decision of having brought her to attend the feast.He was obsessed, everything about her should be for his eyes alone, he could still feel the softness of her supple body in his hands, her taste still burned in his mind.Still, he couldn't have her.He fought against the looming darkness that seemed to be gaining contr
DARKEST LOVE (CURSED)Chapter Twenty NineThe full moon hung over the sky, framed by thick blurry clouds, the night was indeed a beautiful one, but for some reason, her mind was unsettled, she had this deep feeling that something was going to happen, Zara couldn't tell if the feeling was a good one or not.Magical lanterns decorated the air, the noise of servants chattering as they tried to meet up with all the preparations for the annual celestial moon festival.She had no knowledge that such was being held until he had informed her of it this morning, the beautiful colors which decorated the palace, and the prospect of attending what was regarded to be the greatest feast thrown each year was exciting, her curiosity was at its peak.Her heart gave a powerful leap each time she remembered the way he had held her, comfortingly her with soothing words until her tears were ab
DARKEST LOVE (CURSED) Chapter Twenty Eight With a resigned groan, he lowered his head to hers.He kissed her, so gently at first she felt so small and fragile in his arms, he was afraid he was going to bruise her, his lips brushed over hers, tasting their sweet fullness. Like the first time he had kissed her, the same intense wave of sensation flooded through her insides, a knot tightened on her stomach as he deepened the kiss, a soft sound escaped her throat as she melted against him. He pressed her close against him, the kiss deepened, she curled her arms around his shoulders as she into pure sensation, her knees felt weak and trembling, fires lacing through her veins, she had to clutch against him for support. He had been wrong if he thought he could do with just a quick taste, he had already lost the battle a long time ago. The softness of her hair
DARKEST LOVE (CURSED)Chapter Twenty Six**With great difficulty, he pushed the feral urge inside.After a lethal warning, his fingers enclosed around her wrists, she had no choice but to follow in his raging footsteps.He dragged in a sharp breath, his gaze fell on Zara who was oblivious to the turmoil brewing inside of him as she tried to keep up with his pace.It was unimaginable.The most bizarre thing he had ever heard, but as ridiculous as it was, it was the only explanation that explained his nightmares and visions.Herak.Ara.The names were becoming a nightmare.What If it turned out that they both were the reincarnation of the mythical ill fated lovers, then would he lose her?She would die by his hands?It was unthinkable that he was starting to give the thought that he could be the reincarnation of Lord Herak.' Then Herak will go insane! A
