DEVON
Rachel went downstairs to get Luke some water, leaving Theo, Luke and I alone.
"What exactly did he ask you to do?" Theo said to Luke, his body rigid.Luke heaved a sigh and rubbed his eyes."I'm guessing you've already seen the pain pill" he said and I narrowed my eyes.Pain pill?What the hell?"Dwain asked me to sever the ties between you and Devon"I froze, eyes wide."I refused, but somehow he has it in that sick and twisted mind of his, that I'm going to give in, because of the pain" Luke groaned.I exchanged bewildered glances with Theo.'Gosh, whoever Dwain is, he's an awful looser lord' I thought."I'm guessing he told you that he's the only one who can help you take it off" Theo said, pacing back and forth with his jaw clenched."He did. Stop pacing, you're making me feel dizzy" Luke groaned and he halted.Theo narrowed his eyes and slowly started taking measureTHEO "Theo?" Devon said to me as I ran a hand over her arm, absentmindedly."Yeah?" I replied.We were both lying in bed few minutes after Melvin had left. Devon had called her mum and had told her that she was going to be having a sleepover at Karla's house. "What's on your mind?" She asked, drawing weird shapes on my chest. I closed my eyes, Melvin's words replaying in my mind.'He knows what you are, Theo. He's going to try everything he can, to get rid of you. He hates you and wants you dead because he thinks you're a threat to him. He despises the fact that you have so much power. You have to strike him with his own weapon even if it means using the last ounce of energy you have'."You're not scared, are you?" She asked. I smiled, tucking her hair behind her ear."I'm not" I said."I'm just worried though. We don't know what Dwain actually wants to do" she said. "Everything is going to be fine"
THEO "Hello soulmate"I felt my blood boil as soon as I heard that statement. Of course, I realized what was actually happening. Kayden wasn't the problem here. The demon inside him was."Leave Devon out of this" I said, clenching my fist."Fine. Catch" Kayden said and pushed her towards the broken window. Devon stumbled and almost fell through it. I quickly moved to her side and prevented her from falling."He didn't tell you, did he?" Kayden/the demon inside him said. Devon went rigid. She was pissed off. She's always hot when she's mad."Theo. What. Is. He. Talking. About!" Devon said through gritted teeth.Luke stepped out from one of the classrooms, looking very grim. His eyes widened when he saw what was happening."Calm down, Dev. He's-""Tell her, Theo. Tell her that I own you! Tell her that you're mine!" Kayden said.I rolled my eyes, Luke met my gaze.'Do it' I said to him throu
THEO Devon pulled away, her cheeks turning scarlet."I-uh-""You don't regret that, do you?" I asked."No, I don't. My mind is foggy right now" she said, her lips curving into a contented smile."That good, huh?" I chuckled."Yeah" she laughed and kissed me again, her eyes fluttering close."Now that's entertaining" Luke said as he strolled into the garden. We both pulled apart and glared at him"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for interrupting your passionate display of affection but-""Just get on with it already, Luke" I scoffed, and he chuckled."Fine. Dwain's remains were found outside the Hexagon and he's been very much buried. A new leader of the hexagon has been elected. He wants to talk to everyone of us right now" he said."What did they say about Dwain's death?" Devon asked. "They shrugged it off, saying he'd probably been the dinner of an incubus or a Drax demon" Luke shrugged and I
THEO "Do you want to talk about it?" I asked Devon when she'd finally calmed down. She buried her head in the crook of my neck and let out a shaky breath. "Thinking about it gives me the chills" she said."You were with Barza but then you were going to jump off a cliff. You refused to listen to me and I couldn't stop you from going with her. Your eyes were..." She hesitated, a shudder running through her."My eyes were what?" I asked, cautiously."Pitch black..... like Kayden's when he was possessed" she whispered, her voice small and fragile.My heart sank"What happened next?" I dared to ask."You became me and I watched myself jump off the cliff" she whimpered.I was worried at that point. I had a feeling that it wasn't just a dream and I'll be damned if I let anything happen to her."Do you sincerely believe that?" She asked."Believe what?" I asked."Believe that....it was jus
DEVON "Well, looks like we have company" Theo said as Allen approached us with a sneer on his face."Bad timing" I groaned."Hey, we can still watch movies from Netflix later" he said as he took out some sort of whip from his hair, sending his hair spilling over his shoulder and down his back."Don't hurt him, please" I said and he nodded.Allen launched himself at Theo but was immediately bound by Theo's whip.He growled, black eyes menacing."Let me go!"Rolling his eyes, Theo cracked the whip hard and Allen slumped to the ground, unconscious. Theo hoisted him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes."Come on, we have to get him to Luke" he said."How is Luke going to be of help?" I asked as we got into the car."Luke is a rare kind of fae..... maybe almost as rare as I am. He's a silver light bearer and a soul whisperer. It means, he can detach and reattach souls
THEO "Did you find her? Is she okay?" Luke asked me as soon as I stepped into the house. His eyes widened when I didn't reply. "Where could she have gone to?" Luke said and I shut my eyes briefly."I tried to track her, but the rain is making it hard" I said, grabbing my pendant from the night stand."What are we going to do now?" He asked."There's only one person who can track her now" I said, not bothering to take off my wet clothes.Luke's heavy gaze met mine."Melvin?""Yeah. She touched the pendant before she left and I realize that she never went home. I have to tell Melvin about this" I sighed."I'm coming with you" Luke said. "You don't have to-""I want to"Wordlessly, we stepped outside. The rain was pouring down heavily, but I didn't care. Finding Devon was all that mattered.Together, our wings stretched wide, lifting our bodies into the air. We landed quietly on the front porch of De
THEO I slowly took off my shirt, wincing at the sting coming from the deep lacerations on my back. "You didn't tell me who was with Barza" I said to Devon who let out a sigh."His birthmark was similar to yours.... except..his was diamond-shaped. He wasn't as tall as you are, but he definitely looked strong. He wanted to kill me by himself but, Barza insisted that she would do it herself" Devon said. I stared out the window. The only person who fit the whole description was Matthias.He was the one with white blond hair and he was quite short. He also had a diamond shaped birthmark on his temple. How could it be possible that he's still alive? And why would he go after me especially since I didn't offend him in anyway."Do you know him?" Devon asked as she used a damp towel to clean the injuries on my back."I don't know what to think, Dev. There's only one person who fits the description. He was supposed
DEVON Theo and I stood directly in front of the window with my hands in his. Strips of moonlight reflected through the window and into my bedroom, casting a pale glow on our skin. I gazed into Theo's beautiful eyes, my heart fluttering."You ready?" He asked."Yeah" I said and he grinned.The cool breeze ruffled his unbound hair, gently. He joined our hands together and then, something happened. The light from the moon illuminated our hands just as a golden mist, circled our hands. "Wow" I breathed."Is Theo actually your real name?" I asked and he smirked. "I guess you're about to find out" he said to me. The moonlight and the golden mist around our hands became multicolored. It was breathtaking. I felt a tingle all over me with a burst of happiness. It truly felt right. I've never been so sure. "By the fates, I, Daeron Zrēlyen accept you, Devon Bradley as my true soulmate" he said, gazing into my eyes."By the

"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
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
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. Amyra
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
