Graham laughed at Bella. He began to walk around her, dragging his hammer behind him on the ground. It's making a loud noise in the otherwise quiet house. Bella is feeling betrayed. The two people whom she loved with everything she had betrayed her in the worst way possible.
That's when she remembers the words spoken by the fairy goddess.
'You love them so much. You will believe it when you see it with your own eyes ' the goddess spoke.
Bella didn't understand it at that time. But she can see clearly why she said that. If she said that her humans parents are bad, then surely she wouldn't have believed her. But now that she seeing everything with her own eyes, she is stunned.
"You are just a pawn in the big game Bella. Silly girl. You were a very good daughter when compared to many teenagers of your age. But sadly, I never appreciated it myself. You were just a job given to me for money. Nothing more, nothing less. I never had any soft spot for you in all
Blaze was working in his office when he felt it. The pain was so excruciating, that he couldn't breathe. Only one thought came to his mind."Bella"This is the pain you experience when you lose your mate or when you are about to lose her."No no no no" he chanted over and over again.He found out from his guard that his Bella is visiting her parents. She informed the guard that she would call Blaze when she is done here. Blaze is actually waiting for her to call him.But instead of that, he is experiencing this pain. Without wasting a second, he shifted in the middle of her parents living area. The scene he saw there brought him to his knees.His Bella is lying in the pool of her blood and her parents are nowhere in sight. He crawled towards her and tried to understand what might have happened here."Bella?" he called her.When he reached her, he turned her and let her head rest on his lap. There is a wide gash from where
Brandon looked at his brother who seems to be lost in thoughts. "What is it, brother? What's bothering you?" he asked. Blaze sighed. "I sensed drifters inside Bella's parents home. In fact, the whole house is reeking with their scent. And strangely, I didn't sense any human presence there" Blaze revealed. Brandon is shocked to hear his brother's words. "Drifters? Are you sure brother? As far as I know, they no longer exist?" he asked with a frown. Blaze is sure. That scent belongs to the drifters. The airy drifting scent only belongs to them. "I am sure" Blaze confirmed. Brandon is now in confusion. As far as they know, Drifters are a Myth. They have powers and they can drift between worlds and one place to another without being detected. Just like the fae who can shift from one place to another, all the drifters can drift from one place to another. It's their nature. There was a time when their services are
Bella wanted to scream and yell at everyone who betrayed her like this. The betrayal of her fake parents is hurting her the most. This is the worst kind of betrayal. Everything she believed since she was young is just a farse. They all played with her emotions. Suddenly she remembered the fairy Goddess's words. She told her that her human parents are not her real parents. 'You can call me mother' Bella remembered what the fairy goddess asked to call her. "Mother, help me mother" Bella screamed in her mind. Suddenly her surroundings disappeared and Bella is standing inside the cave. She looked in the direction of the statue and noticed that the fairy goddess is standing there with her arms wide open, in a 'come and hug me gesture'. Without thinking much, Bella ran and hugged the goddess and cried her heart out. "You were right mother. They are not my parents. They kidnapped me from my real parents. They already know I was the mate o
'Create an imaginary wall?' Bella thought with puzzlement."But mother, how can I do it?" She asked curiously.The fairy goddess smiled as if she is expecting that question."Every fae has some natural abilities, with which they are born. You are not exactly a half-Fae. You are fae, but as your father is a human, your features don't resemble the usual fae. But still, your Fae genes are dominant. So even you would have some natural-born abilities. Like warding off another fae from using their abilities against you. Every fae can do this with some practice. This wall is invisible and will not allow another fae to use their abilities against you without your permission. So all you have to do is Channel your inner strength to build a wall around yourself, brick by brick" the goddess explained.Bella frowned after listening to everything the goddess just said."But mother, how can I channel my inner strength, when I don't know how to access it?" B
The fairy goddess is satisfied to see that Bella successfully created the wall around herself. She is so proud of Bella. Slowly Bella opened her eyes and saw the fairy goddess, who is grinning with happiness. "Mother, I did it. I connected with my strength. I named it after my sister Ari" Bella shared excitedly. "Of course my dear. I know you are smart and a quick learner" the goddess praised Bella, who is beaming with happiness. "Thank you mother" Bella expressed her gratitude sincerely. "I did nothing, my child. Everything you did is with your own hard work. Don't thank me for your success" the goddess said humbly. Bella shook her head. "No mother, you are the one who is guiding me in the right way. I cannot thank you enough for that" Bella said. The fairy goddess smiled. "My child, this is just the beginning. Your shield cannot protect you from the fae who are more powerful. You need to buil
After talking with the goddess, Bella is feeling much better. She now has an understanding that she is not the only one who has been dealt with a bad hand in life. No matter the hurdles, we need to get going. We should not let the hurdles bring us down. Instead, they should make us strong. She loved her human parents, or fake parents very much. They were all she know until she met Blaze. She could only depend on them for everything. But everything she loved is just fake. Her entire life is nothing but a farse and that broke her heart. The life she lived until now is a lie. The only thing that's true and real is Blaze. Her mate and the love of her life. Now she has to start living for him. She needs to make herself strong for him. She has to be in a position where Blaze could rely on her. Slowly she opened her eyes and touched her head where she hurt herself. To her surprise, there is no wound or pain. She tried to feel for the injury around her forehead
Blaze frowned."You saw Scott? Like in a dream?" he asked her softly. He wanted to know what triggered her memories back.Bella nodded slowly. It was like a dream, but it is not."Yes, like in a dream. So that's when I remembered everything. How we met each other and how I ended up in the tower and then the kidnapping" she said slowly, trying to gauge his reaction.Blaze nodded his head slowly. There is nothing for him to doubt here. Things like this usually happen. You will never actually forget anything permanently. Memories just fade away a little, until someone or something reminds us of what we forgot. So he nodded his head thinking that her dream might have reminded her of everything that was faded because of the fairy haze."That's actually great Bella. After you lost your memories, I was worried that you might not trust me again. I know our bond will never let you leave me. But then again, trust is the main thing that holds a relation
Blaze is shocked to hear her words. "What? Do you mean someone intentionally separated you from your parents when you were a baby? So they know you were my mate since the time you were born? But how is it possible? They were trying to kill me since when I was 9 years old? That's the time around which you were born. You must be a baby when I turned 9. But how come your real parents never realized that one of their daughters is missing? Do they even know that they had twins?" Blaze asked. Nothing is making any sense. Everything was planned and orchestrated since he was just a child. But why? Bella shook her head. "I don't know Blaze. We need to go talk to my father" she said, and Graham's face popped in front of her face. She shook her head to clear that unwanted image. "I mean, my real father," she said. Blaze squeezed her hand assuringly. He can understand where her mind drifted back to. "Hmm, but I don't thin
After one year Bella is holding their six-month-old daughter in her arms. They are surrounded by her parents, Drake and Nyra, Lucas and Lola, Brandon and his mate Stella, whom he met in the human world. They gathered to celebrate Bella's birthday. A year before, on the day of her birthday, she was poisoned. But this past one year is nothing but pure bliss. She got to spend a lot of her time with her parents. As a queen, people of the dark realm accepted her completely. Just like the fairy goddess said, she had to leave the fairy to start her new life as someone else. Lucas met his mother and he embraced her. Lola is a really sweet girl. After so many struggles and ups and downs, Bella and Blaze found they're happily ever after. "What are you thinking?" Blaze asked later that night when all of their guests retired for the day. Bella looked at him with a smile. "Just thinking about how we met and how much we had
After the words spoken by the fairy goddess, all the three of them became even more worried for her. But just like she asked them, they decided to respect her words and not push the subject further. For now, they understood something has happened and the goddess has a limited life span. And more importantly, she is trying to fulfill her duties by the time her life here comes to an end.They want to know the specifics of what happened. As a goddess she usually has an eternity to live. But her words shocked them to their very core. So Blaze decided to honour her words, as he couldn't beat to upset her even more. He now understood why she deviced a prophecy all of a sudden. As a mother she is trying to protect her children as much as she could even after she is gone.Understanding her desire, he agreed to take upon the duties of a dragon elder, just like Drake did. He sat on the throne on the right side, leaving the left one open for the last choosen protector
Bella looked at Blaze with so much love shining in her eyes. He sensed her eyes on him and turned his head to face her. 'I wanted to surprise you, Bella. I know you miss your sister so much. She is the reason why I got an opportunity to find you. I don't want you to miss her and feel sad. So I decided to keep her memories alive through this organization ' Blaze shared through their mind link. 'You keep being so considerate and sweet, and I will become obsessed with you. Then you will be in trouble' she said trying to control her emotions. Blaze's lips twitched. 'You can become as obsessed as you want baby. Because I am already obsessed with your smell, taste, and every little thing that belongs to you' he replied mischievously. Bella smiled widely. Drake and the goddess noticed their sweet exchange. They both have matching smiles on their faces. Drake cleared his throat to catch their attention. Bella turned towar
Blaze is looking at the dead body which is hard to identify. After skinning Stephen alive, he ordered his guards to throw him away in the forest in the middle of Wild animals. After two days, the locals found a dead body of a man, which was mostly eaten away by animals. Now several insects are eating the remnants of the flesh. Bones and just some flesh can be seen on the body. It can belong to anyone but Knows otherwise.This body belongs to Stephen. The Royal armlet that is still hanging to his bony arm is the proof. That is how the locals identified the body. Blaze is now content. He cannot say that he is happy. His happiness comes from Bella. He will be happy when he is with her. Every moment spent in her company is his happiness.But today he served Justice for every bad thing Stephen has done. He is sure his parents would be looking down at everything that is happening here, and they would finally be at peace.Blaze turned away from the body and
Bella woke up to the agonizing screams of a man. She was startled and sat up feeling rather dizzy and sore. For a moment, she has mistaken that voice for that of her father, but soon realized it's not. Blaze looked up at Bella, who is now sitting up on the bed holding her head with a grimace. "Bella" he rushed towards her and hugged her tightly with relief. Bella sagged against him and closed her eyes tightly, feeling disoriented. "How are you feeling?" he asked worriedly, caressing her spine softly. "Fine" she croaked. Her throat is dry and scratchy. She didn't use her voice for the past couple of days and the last thing she remembered is being shot by Stephen. She rubbed the area where she was shot absently. But to her surprise, she didn't find any pain, scar, or even a bandage there. She looked down and found that the area where she is shot is rather soft as if nothing happened to her. As if she was not at all shot
"Bella" the fairy goddess whispered sadly. Bella is lying on the bed unconscious. After Stephen shot her, she lost a lot of blood. The healers in the fairy realm don't have any clue about how to deal with wounds of this kind. They don't know that they should remove the bullet from the body of the injured to stop the bleeding and avoid infection. By the time Blaze recovered from his initial shock and rush her to the human hospital, she lost a lot of blood.They removed the bullet from her body, which was dangerously close to her heart. Luckily it didn't damage her heart. But the trauma of being hit by a bullet and blood loss made Bella weak and the doctors have induced anesthetic medicines inside her body so that they could keep her asleep for a couple of days.The fairy goddess is sad. She spent a lot of time with Bella. She was always lively and active. So now when she saw Bella lying on that bed wrapped up with bandages, her heart is aching."Don't
Blaze and Bella nodded at each other, before slowly walking out of the room. Bella found Stephen is back in the chair on which he was reading something earlier. Blaze nodded at Bella and indicated upstairs. They know where Bella's mother is, but they don't know where her grandmother is.Bella is worried that her grandmother might be in some kind of trouble. They searched all the rooms upstairs, but there is no sign of Doris anywhere."Where is she?" Bella whispered.Blaze has a frown marring his forehead."You told me she was visiting a friend of hers. Are you sure she came back yet?" Blaze asked remembering their conversation from the day of her birthday party.Bella frowned."I don't know. Mom said it might take her a few days to come back. If it is so, then she must be safe" Bella murmured hopefully.Just then, Brandon gave a message to both of them through their mind link.'Healers are now attending Scott. His m
Bella, Blaze, and the others are now standing outside her parent's house. They wanted to bring her parents out of the house before attacking Stephen. "First we need to bring your parents out of the house. Then we can take care of Stephen" Blaze murmured looking at the house where he holds many initial memories with Bella. Bella nodded her head absently. "I will go in and check where they are," she said with determination. Blaze shook his head in denial. "No, we don't know what is going on inside the house. Sending you inside might be risky. I will go instead" he offered. Bella sighed. "I know you are concerned about my safety Blaze. But they are my parents. And I know the house inside out. You don't have that advantage. I know where to shift to stay hidden and observe what's happening inside the house. Let me go. I promise I will not do anything rashly. Trust me please" she said softly. Blaze frowned.
Scott is now lying on a bed in his room, with Elvina by his side. He has a high fever because of the beatings he received from Stephen and Elvina is worried about him. He is barely talking and he is sleeping for the past few hours. Elvina decided to beg Stephen to let her out of the house for some medical herbs. They don't have any herbs to treat wounds this severe.Slowly she made her way out of the room and walked towards Stephen, who is busy reading a scroll. She cleared her throat to catch his attention.Stephen glared at her with annoyance."Now what do you want? Is it not enough that I beat the hell out of your husband? Do you want some too?" he asked impatiently.Elvina wanted to kick Stephen for hurting her husband. But she is weak and is no match for him. So she bit her cheek to control her anger."My husband is running with a high fever. Can you please let me go out of the house for a few minutes so that I can go and bring some herb
