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

    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

    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

    DEVON Virtually nothing can be compared to the feeling of waking up in bed to be greeted by the pleasant sight of Theo's relaxed features. I watched him sleep with the smile on my face growing by the minute. His messy black hair was a sharp contrast to the snow white material of his pillow. He stirred, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly. "Good morning, handsome" I said, shooting him a smile as soon as his eyes fell open. "Morning, beautiful" he replied, a smile tugging at his lips. He pulled me close to himself and planted a kiss on the crown of my head. My eyes fluttered close as I basked in his warmth. "What day is today?" I asked. "Today's Saturday, the 13th...." I gasped, my eyes widening. "Today is Karla's birthday!" "Okay...." Theo said, looking amused. "What's so funny right now?" I demanded, narrowing my eyes. He chuckled, tucking my hair behind my ears. "Toda

    DEVON I should probably have paid attention when Theo had said that he was making no promises on not pranking me. Little did I know that he'd gone ahead to fill my shampoo bottle with pink dye just to make us even. It wasn't that bad, we both had pink hair for a whole week. Meanwhile, the search for the silver beast wasn't going fine, twelve mundanes had been declared missing. It was definitely not a good sign. Liam had started to cooperate more and he was back to work with Theo as his PA. I wasn't expecting that anyway, but Theo actually needed the job for the time being. I was just stepping out of the mall when I nearly bumped into a familiar brunette. "Devon! Oh my gosh, it's been quite a while since we saw each other!" Amyra gushed, embracing me. She looked really different too. Her hair was cut to her shoulders, stylishly and she had green contacts on. She'd definitely put on more weight and her skin h

    DEVON My phone rang, probably for the millionth time in the evening. I didn't want to pick Karla's calls especially since I knew that I would feel guilty about not attending her birthday party which was supposed to kickoff in a few hours. Theo was still sick and I couldn't leave him all alone by himself to attend Karla's birthday party. So when my phone rang again, I let out a loud groan. Theo coughed, his eyes fluttering half open."You should pick her call, Dev" he croaked."I feel like a horrible friend, you know. I promised her I would go to her birthday party no matter what. But, I can't leave you on your own and I don't want to have to explain anything to her" I said."You should go to the party, I'll be fine. It's not like I'm dying" he said."How can you tell me to leave you here while you're this sick? Even if I go there, I wouldn't have any fun, I'll keep worrying about you" I said.He coughed again, clear

    DEVON I walked into the bedroom and placed the tray containing Theo's breakfast on the night stand. He was still asleep, faint dark circles beneath his eyes. I brushed his hair away from his face and pressed a kiss to his temple. He stirred, long dark lashes fluttering subtly. I planted another kiss to the corner of his lips which curved into a smile. "It's time to wake up, sleeping beauty" I whispered. "Not yet" he rasped, pulling me down to lay on top of him. He flipped us both upside down, with him hovering over me. There he goes again with his superhuman strength. His thumb slowly traced my lips and I smiled, gazing at his beautiful golden eyes. "Beautiful as always" he commented and I chuckled. "Not as beautiful as you are, though" I said, cupping the side of his face. He laughed. "I'm not starting an argument with you, this morning" he said, laying back down as he drew me into his arms with my head resting on his

    As Theo drove us home, a heavy tension hung between us. Lucy's voice kept echoing in my head and it was starting to rile me up. I stared at Theo who was staring straight ahead with his lips set in a firm line. I placed my hand on his jean clad thigh and let out a sigh."You're upset" I said, breaking the silence.He still didn't say anything. "I'm sorry for not telling you about what happened at Karla's house" I said, gazing at him. He let out a sigh, his grip on the steering wheel, tightening. I feared that he would rip off the steering wheel."Theo-". His stoic expression faltered."I'm not mad at you"Those were the first group of words that he uttered since we left Lucy's apartment."But-why do you look so upset?" I asked. He gave me a knowing look and looked away. It was then I understood why he was upset. I knew Theo well enough to be able to read his thoughts by merely looking into his golden eyes.&nb

    DEVON A blur of colors was what I saw as soon as I was roused from my unconscious state. I blinked, my vision slowly becoming more focused and clearer. Golden eyes were staring at me. Golden eyes that held nothing but concern for me. I blinked again, realizing that I was lying in Theo's bed with him hovering above me. He slowly brushed my hair away from my face, still looking very worried. I didn't have the faintest idea of what had happened. I didn't know why I was lying in Theo's bed feeling like I was floating. But then, I noticed the way his eyes glowed-- they glowed like they were actually living and breathing. It was enchanting to watch how his eyes would grow dim and then brighten so steadily--like a heartbeat.His eyes were warm, they made me feel all mushy on the inside. His dark hair was glowing in the light-- black strands with fewer blue strands amongst them. My goodness, he's beautiful."Devon?" He said,

  • 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

    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.

    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.
