DEVON
Theo's pale skin was soaked with sweat and his fever was skyrocketing. He was gasping for breath even as he slept fitfully. The bags under his bags were darker than ever and he looked so frail. I was terrified and I was sure I was going to loose my mind. Seeing Theo like that scared me. I couldn't bear the thought of loosing him. "Isn't there a way we can help him?" Luke said to the white haired woman whose name was Alba.She turned to look at me, a strange look in her eyes."You're his mate, aren't you?" She said, her eyes glowing."I am" I respondedd.
"Good. You can help him, then" she said."How?" I asked, confused.She took my hand and started to draw a rune on my palm."Why are you helping us?" I asked.
She gave me a knowing look. "Two simple reasons. One, I owe him my life.DEVON As soon as I walked into the house, I found my dad sitting on the couch with a grim expression on his face. "Dad-" I began. He raised a hand to silence me and gestured to his side. I sat down beside him, my heart thumping harder against my rib cage. "Did you or did you not go on a date with Casper?" He asked. "I-""I want nothing but the truth""I did not""Why?""I don't have feelings for him. Besides, I'm going out with someone else" I said and his nostrils flared."Who's your boyfriend?" He spat, glaring daggers at me."He-""Who is he?!""Dad, stop yelling at her. You're scaring her" Allen said from where he stood by the staircase."She should be scared! I have no business with you right now,young man" he hissed. Allen rolled his eyes and walked out of the house. "Now tell me, who is your boyfriend? Don't tell me he's a 'fairy' who has clai
THEO "You doing okay?" Devon said to me with her hand resting on my knee. We were in the car and we were heading towards the park. "I'm okay" I replied and she smiled. "We're here" she announced and we both got out of the car. She placed a blue scarf around my neck and slipped her gloved hand in mine. I gave her a smile as we both sat down on the cold bench. "Thank you for doing this, Dev" I said and she grinned. "You've spent a lot of time in your room. I figured you needed fresh air" she said. "Yeah, I needed this" I agreed. We remained silent, staring at the trees and dying grasses that was covered with snow. "Why are you so fascinated with winter?" She asked and I smiled. "The fae kingdom is divided into four. Each kingdom represent a season. There's Hammok, it represents summer because it's always in summer all year round. Then, there's Bisok. It
THEO "If we are to leave, we have to leave this night. You're apparently getting worse. You can't fight it for so long" Luke said to me as I wiped off the blood from my nose. "I'm fine. I can handle it-""No, you can't. Even the crown prince of the four lands needs to cut himself some slack. Clearly, all this is too much for you" Luke said and I groaned, burying my face in my hands."Luke's right, Theo. You're actually worsening and it's causing you pain. I'm not okay with the fact that you're in pain. I just have to get my mum to agree to let me come with you guys" Devon sighed and I gasped, raising my head from her laps. "No, Devon. You can't come with us. It's risky" I said. "I don't care. What if there's something I can do? What if you'll need my help?" She asked, running a hand through my hair."She has to come with us, Theo" Luke said and I groaned."Fine""Can you stand?" Devon asked.
DEVON We journeyed in silence at first, a heavy tension hanging around us.We stopped right in front of a place that looked like a ranch "Why are we stopping here?" Luke asked Tyrenn with a frown on his face. "We need horses....your friend looks like he's going to collapse anytime soon. Besides, are you planning to walk all the way to Grymlok?" Tyrenn said, grabbing the rein of one of the horses. He steered the horse towards Theo and I. Then, he grabbed the reins of two other horses and led one of them to where Luke was standing."Hop on, strangers" he said.I noticed that Theo's nose was starting to bleed again and he definitely looked dizzy. He mounted the horse and held onto the reins of the horse. Then, Luke got me on top of the horse, right behind Theo. I watched Theo as he wiped his nose with the sleeve of his hoodie.I placed my hand around his waist. "Lean on me" I whispered, my hands grasping onto the
DEVON "You've got to be kidding me" I said when Luke opened a portal that took me home. He'd accompanied me home after we'd taken Theo home."You shouldn't be surprised, princess. An hour here in the human world is like a second in the underworld" Luke said. "Woah""I'll be leaving now" he said and I nodded. He vanished from sight and I knocked on the door. When no one answered, I opened the door. I was totally not expecting the sight of my mum standing by the staircase, her face drained of color. She looked horrified but that was not the shocking thing about this situation. Her blue eyes had become a very light blue that glowed fiercely. Her hands were covered with ice. I lowered my gaze to see what she was staring at. My dad was lying on the floor, completely frozen."Mum? W-what's going on here?" I said, my heart thudding madly against my rib cage."Sweetie..... I-""Wait, you're not human?"
THEO️ Luke and I were walking along the streets of New York after we'd left the Hexagon. It was nice to feel like myself again."Let's stop for some ice cream" Luke said and I rolled my eyes."We don't have to" I said."Come on, Theo. When was the last time you had some ice cream?" He said, raising a brow."Seriously, you-""Daeron"I froze when I heard someone call me using my true name. That someone wasn't Luke. I slowly turned to look at who it was. I suddenly wished I'd ignored him because at that point, I wanted to strangle him to death. "Matthias or should I say, Urèn?" I said, clenching my fists.Matthias was just the same. As I stared at him, all I could see was him throwing the dragon blade at me."Daeron, I-""Let me guess, you've been following me. Have you come to finish what you started?" I said.He sighed"I'm really sorry for what I did
DEVON I'd just returned home from school and had just placed my backpack on the floor when Theo entered my room through the window. I was starting to get used to this habit of his. "Hey" I said and kissed him. "How was it?" Theo asked, his hand resting on my waist. "It wasn't bad" I shrugged. He smiled but I noticed that he was tense. Too tense for comfort. "Theo, spit it out" I urged. "You really know me that well, don't you?" he said. "I know that you're tense and something's bothering you" I said, releasing my hair from it's ponytail. "Taerus is attacking by sunset" he said and I gasped. "What? That's in a few hours. Theo, what're we going to do?" I asked. "Be strong" he said. I was terrified. I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. "Hey, look at me. Don't think negatively" he said, cuppin
DEVON I bolted upright on my bed, covering my face with my hands as hot tears rolled down my cheeks. I'd dreamt of loosing Theo again. It's been three years since he died but I still haven't gotten over him. It feels like he died just yesterday and each time I close my eyes, I see him fade away. He'd been so pale and cold. We didn't even get to give him a befitting burial. As it is, fairies who die in the human world usually fade away and that's exactly what happened. I stopped having the nightmares two years after he'd passed away. Now, I just had the nightmare again. It makes it harder to move on. I got out of bed and picked up a framed photo on my nightstand. It was the photo I'd taken with Theo three years back in Paris. I looked up at the calendar in my room. My heart sank when I realized that this was the same day I'd lost my soulmate three years ago. Despite the fact that I've met up with several therapists, I still

"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
