I moved backwards, my knees buckling underneath me. They were threatening to give out and send me crashing to the ground. I needed to get away from her. "I-I have to go," I said.Her gaze softened.
"It's fine. But, at least can I have your number? I can give you mine too" I stared at her for a beat, then I sighed and took out my phone. After we'd exchanged contacts, I drove off.
*** Monday and Tuesday went by in a blur. I'd resumed in Liam's company as his P. A. He wasn't really bad, he was just a little bit too demanding. My headaches had worsened by the time it was Wednesday.After meeting Rachel, I found myself thinking about her a lot. I felt like I knew her but it was hard to figure it out. Devon on the other hand, was ignoring my text messages. She wouldn't even pick my calls. She was clearly avoiding me. Was I that big of a pro

SHEA "How are you here right now?" I asked, staring at her. She grinned. "Will you at least let me in first, stranger?" she said. My chest tightened. I was having a hard time figuring out why I was feeling a strong sense of déjà-vu as soon as she called me 'Stranger'?"Sorry about that. You can come in" I said, moving aside. She walked in, looking around my apartment with a smile on her beautiful face. "Nice apartment you got here, Shea" she said. "Thanks" I said, shutting the door. She sat down on the couch and crossed her legs. "Comfy couch too, that's nice" she said. I blinked. "I'm glad you like it" I said. "Do you need anything? Water? Wine? Soda?" "Water will do just fine, thanks." "Wait, are you really Devon Bradley? Or am I talking to a clone?" I asked, raising a brow. Her eyes lit up with amusement. "Of course, it's me. Why are you ask

DEVON Two weeks had passed since Shea discovered Theo's photo in my sitting room. I felt so bad for everything I'd put him through.What I didn't understand was how he knew about my brothers. If he wasn't Theo, then who was he? Why had he been dreaming about Theo and I? 'Theo is dead, stupid. He's gone and never coming back. Don't you think that Shea might've been sent into your life to destroy you? What if all this is a trap? You watched him die and you know deep down inside you that Theo is gone. Stop assuming things' my subconscious reprimanded me. I decided that it was better to avoid him. All he did was put my mind in turmoil. Okay, not just that. He made me feel things I shouldn't be feeling. I had a boyfriend for goodness sake. I was sitting in front of my mirror, debating on whether I would go with the nude lip gloss or the red lipstick. Liam was ha

DEVON I was lying in bed trying to process what had happened an hour ago between Shea and I. I couldn't fight the grin that was permanently etched on my face. I was way too excited. I got out of bed and got ready for the day. After having my breakfast, I drove to school. "Now, this is getting really weird, Dev. Did you win a lottery?" Karla said to me after our third lecture for the day. "Don't be ridiculous. I'm just... happy" I shrugged. She wriggled her brows. "There's something you're not telling me" I rolled my eyes. "Did you confirm if Shea is Theo?" My eyes widened. "Aha! Gotcha! So, he is Theo" I smiled, tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear. "Why doesn't he know who you are?" She asked. "He has amnesia" I said. "Oh...poor thing. I guess Liam is really unlucky. Your man is back. So, he needs to find someone else" Karla said. I'd totally forgot

DEVON "He's a lucky young man. If his attacker had held on to his throat for two minutes longer, he would've died" Dr Sid said to me just outside the ward where Shea was. I shivered when I thought of him dying in the alley. "He'll be fine, right?" I asked. "Yes, he'll be fine" I nodded. "He has no family. Can I go in to see him?" I asked. "Of course. He might be totally out of it. Two of his ribs are broken, he has a concussion and a head trauma" I stepped into the ward, the heart monitor beeping steadily. I sat down by his bedside and took his free hand in mine. There was a bandage around his head and IV lines were connected to the back of his palm. His eyes were closed, long dark lashes resting atop the skin beneath his eyes. I noticed the moles on his neck and the one on the corner of his lips. How could I have missed that? It couldn't be a coincidence that his moles were in the same po

DEVON Quietly, I left Shea's house and snuck up to the back of my house. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and made my way to the front door. Liam was standing by the front door, forehead resting against the wall. I twisted the door knob and pulled the door backwards. The creaking sound snapped him out of whatever daze he was in. He looked up and I let out a gasp when I saw his puffy and blood shot eyes. "Liam-" He moved away from the wall, frowning slightly. "I didn't hear you drive in" "That's because I didn't drive in. Come on in" I said, opening the door wider. He walked in and I shut the door behind him. "Can I get you anything?" I asked. "There's no need for that" he said, letting out a shaky breath. "Liam, what's wrong?" I asked. He sighed, rubbing his left eye. "This morning... I-uh... I received a call from a hospital. My mother-- sh

THEO Tired green eyes stared back at me from the mirror as I ran my fingers through my damp hair. I was human now and it felt really weird. Still, it was a miracle that I was alive. My fingers lazily traced the thick horizontal scar on my chest. It was the only evidence that confirmed that I'd once been stabbed in the chest, and that stab wound had killed me. I walked out of the bathroom, towel drying my wet hair. Devon was sitting on my bed, running a comb through her hair when I walked in. "I was starting to wonder if you were sleeping in there" she said, smiling at me. "You haven't done that before?" I asked. She chuckled. "Once. It was the first time I took my bath in a Jacuzzi. I was so comfortable, I slept off" she said, her cheeks turning pink. I smiled, slipping on a pair of sweatpants. "How're your ribs?" She asked. "A bit sore. It isn't as bad as before" I said. She rose to her feet an
Entwined Fates I'm Sorry
DEVON "There's a prophecy that was made centuries ago about a monstrous creature known as the 'Afyrza'. Which means the silver beast--" Luke said. Blood drained from Theo's attractive face. "The silver beast can be anyone, male or female. It was said that after the transition ritual has been carried out, the beast becomes too strong to be defeated. Only two creatures can stop it and that is the 'Chymarr' and the 'Gymadoq'. The Chimaera and the Red Wolf" I swallowed hard, several thoughts surfacing in my mind. The silver beast sounded like something very dangerous. "At first, the prophecy was ignored. But then, Theo was born. When they found out that he was the Chimaera, they realized that the prophecy might infact be true. The problem is that up till this day, we don't know if the Red Wolf exists" "What power does the Red Wolf have?" I asked. "According to the ancient books, the Red Wolf is part
Entwined Fates Impromptu
LIAM I let out a groan as I opened my eyes, my head throbbing dully. My gaze fell on both Shea and the fairy. Realizing that I had indeed not been dreaming, my eyes widened. "You're awake, that's great. Sitting here waiting for you was getting annoying" the fairy said, his eyes glowing. "If he's a fairy, what are you?" I asked Shea, watching him carefully. He sighed, running his fingers throughhis hair. "It's a long story-" he began but was interrupted by the fairy who was looking very smug. It was annoying. "I can help with that. Theo is the king of the underworld. He died after getting stabbed in the chest. Somehow, he's back again to fulfill his destiny. End of story, you're welcome" Shea sighed, glaring at the fairy who still had a smirk on his face. "That still doesn't explain why Devon has anything to do with you" I said. "She's my soulmate, Liam. I can't st

Entwined Fates EPILOGUE
"My queen, you have to hurry right now. The king needs you" That statement sent me into overdrive. I'd been queen for barely three months but everything had been going just fine until now. I was just arriving from a meeting with other queens of the four lands owing to the fact that I'm the queen of all queens. I'd only been gone for three days. As soon as I'd stepped into the palace, Lylla, my personal maid had approached me immediately with a look of urgency in her forest green eyes. Naturally, I was overcome with worry and concern for my husband. I hurried upstairs to his chamber only to find Luke by my husband's bedside. He was trying to restrain my husband and things didn't look too good. I hurried to his side, my gaze sweeping over my husband's chiseled chest and defined abs which was covered with sweat. His handsome face was etched with pain and he didn't look well. I noticed the bruises around his wrists, my heart breaking when I realized that he'd been tied

THEO "..... He's going to be fine..... coronation........days.....he wakes up......"I tried to move my hands but realized that I couldn't feel them. I felt like I was floating.Hovering above the clouds, quietly. I could hear bits of Luke's statement and could only assume that it was just Luke and Devon who were in the room with me."..... be fine...."A hand held mine and soft lips were pressed to my knuckles. It was Devon, I realized. Through the mindlink, her emotions entwined themselves around my subconsciousness like a cocoon. She was afraid.Yet, anxious and worried. What had happened? Why was I unconscious? Why was Devon anxious and uncertain? "Open your eyes, damnit" Devon said and I desperately wanted to smile but I still couldn't move. "If you don't open your eyes right now... I'll.... I'll..."That did it for me. I felt like my body had just been electrocuted back to life. That is, if that makes any sense. I lifted my eyelids and
Entwined Fates Flames Of Gold
DEVON With tears still running down my cheeks, I looked up to behold the goddess. She looked every inch as beautiful as a goddess can be. Theo shuddered in my arms; his body temperature was soaring by the minute with pain etched on his handsome face. The goddess' height and curves would put a model to shame. Her porcelain skin glowed like she was illuminated on the inside. Her wavy brilliant white hair hung below her waistline and her eyes were a stunning blue. She was wearing a white dress which exposed most of her cleavage with long slits on the sides of the dress. On her biceps were a pair of silver arm bands. She stood few feet away from us, barefooted."Yaran Zrēlyen" she said, her voice both authoritative and soft. I stared at her, startled by the name she'd called me."Do not be puzzled, soulmate of the flame keeper of the four lands. For I have called you by your true name. Your soulmate has asked for my help with defeating his en
Entwined Fates The Blood Moon
THEO Devon stormed out of the sitting room as soon as Luke announced that we were going to battle tonight. She'd gone impossibly pale and I was terrified for her."I'll be right back" I said to Luke and Liam who nodded in understanding. I found her on my bed when I walked into my room. Her face was buried into the pillow with her fingers clutching the pillow fiercely. She was crying, her body trembling under the weight of her grief. I heaved a sigh and moved over to her side. Slowly, I eased her away from the pillow until she was in my arms, her face buried in the crook of my neck as she sobbed. I slowly stroked her soft hair with my fingers, offering her comfort as much as I could."It's okay, Devon. We're going to be okay. you don't have to be scared, love" I whispered.She sniffled weakly, then she raised her head to meet my gaze with her bloodshot eyes."I don't want to be scared but there's a sinking feeling in my stomach.

Entwined Fates Wild Fire
DEVON After Theo and Luke had buried Veronica's body later that night, I stood in the front porch, staring at the moon. I couldn't help but feel uneasy about everything that had been happening. Theo had brought the mirror of mirrors home, but we were taking a huge risk as it was. Theo could loose his soul--A soul which he possesses because he's half human.A shudder ran through me when I imagined the possibilities of Theo becoming soulless. He'd become an empty shell. Would he still love me even then? Would he forget me? Technically, I was his soulmate. What will become of us when his soul is lost?My heart gave a painful jolt when I imagined Theo with black soulless eyes. I can't let that happen to him; to us. We'll find a way. We have to.Strong arms circled my waist from behind me and I closed my eyes relaxing in his hold. "What's on your mind?" Theo asked."You, Us" I sighed."Things doesn't look too good for us, d

THEO Yaran defiantly met Amyra's rigid gaze with her face impassive."And who might you be?" She asked, her yellow eyes cold and calculating. "I am Amyra-""I know who you are, mistress of evil. You have not answered my question" Yaran spat, her yellow eyes burning brightly. Amyra's face twisted into a wicked sneer. "I do not answer to anyone but myself" she spat. "I see. What makes you think I will let you have the mirror of mirrors?""Who says I'm asking for your permission? I don't care who you think you are, but he is not leaving here with the mirror of mirrors" Amyra said, pointing at me with a look of disdain on her face. As soon as she finished making the statement, her men attacked me. They were strong I'll give them that. But, they were no match for me. Amyra's eyes clouded with rage at the sight of the dead bodies scattered around me."Good thing I have a plan B" she said, her lips curled with disdain."Annie

AMYRA "Go on, Sweet Veronica. Tell me everything" I purred, stroking my prisoner's blood stained hair. She shuddered, whimpering as she cradled her broken arm- which was the fourth bone I'd broken in her body since I'd begun the interrogation. "I can do this all day, Ronnie. Why won't you just give in. It's that simple" I sighed. "Never" she croaked."That's okay with me" I said, smirking. I grabbed a pair of tweezers and ripped off her fingernails. Her screams echoed in the room. But, when she still refused to give in, I was pissed off.I broke three more bones in her body. This time, she passed out. I squatted in front of her and began to probe into her mind. I'd tried probing into her mind earlier but she'd resisted me. She's so strong, defiant and loyal. It's such a pity that she's on the wrong side. She would've been an asset to me. I concentrated harder, digging my fingernails into her scalp as I assessed her mind. "Did you find what you we

DEVON "I can't just sit back and do nothing while you're planning on embarking on a suicide journey to the night court!" I exclaimed, following Theo into his room. He ignored me and I swear, I was starting to loose my mind."Theo, I want to come with you" I said. He kept ignoring me.After Ric's arrival at Victoria's house, Theo had insisted that we leave immediately. The drive back home had been uncomfortable. I'd tried to talk Theo into letting me go with him to the night court; he'd only grown more upset. "Theo, you aren't saying anything" He abruptly turned to face me, his eyes blazing like golden flames."I just want you to stay here. You'll be safe here. You'll be helping me by staying safe" he said."Fat lot of good that's going to do for any of us! What about you?! You're going to get yourself killed. You said it yourself. The night court is a dangerous place!""All I ask is that you leav
