ALEX'S POV
“I love you so much, Albert.” I was taken aback by the words that came out of her mouth. She hadn’t recognized me after all.
Didn’t that also mean Victoria loved Albert? I felt like a bolt of lightning had struck me. So, had she been toying with me all along?
That seemed probable. I was such a fool to fall prey to her tactics. I felt revolted by her touch. If I had to remain in her embrace for even a minute longer I would suffocate
I felt like I was burning hotter than the solar winds as I zipped in my energy form. If someone was watching me they would have seen smoke arise from my body. My rage intensified as I thought about my father’s words. How could he say something like that about Eva? I deliberately avoided the greater question, ‘ Did my father have some connection with Mr. Wangchuck.’ I felt like I would explode if I dwell on that thought too much. I accidentally projected my power on a tree. It instantly turned
THIRD PERSON’S POV“Where have you been, Albert?” Victoria said throwing her arms around him. She pulled his face towards her so that they were mere inches away from each other. She was just going to claim his lips when he spoke up, “I have good news and bad news, what would you like to hear first?“Bad I guess, I like to keep good for the last,” Victoria said absent-mindedly as she gazed at his plump lips that seemed to be inviting her to devour them.
ALEX’S POVI have never felt so hopeless in my life. It was like I was engulfed by darkness on all sides, stretching far beyond the horizons I could see. I felt like I was destined to dwell in this state of darkness forever. This was the result of all the sins I had committed in my life. I would embrace this. I would burn in the fire of guilt and grief. I would spend my entire life repenting for the sins I had committed. I vowed that today onwards there would be only one aim in my life and
ALEX'S POV“Victoria, don’t try to play games with me… I will find a way to kill you even though you are a Golden Shifter,” I roared. Tears streamed down her eyes and her pitiful whimpers resounded. She begged, “Please, give me a chance to explain..”I pushed her away and said, “You have two minutes…”“I didn’t want this to happen either. Do you remember the day of Celebratory Dinner… we both were drugged. This is a
EVA’S POVI was wandering in the tunnel of darkness when I felt like someone was calling out to me. She was telling me about something important. There was something that I had to do. “Eva, you have to wake up Eva, even if it is just to take revenge for the unborn child’s death. Here you are lying paralyzed, lost in oblivion and there the monsters who murdered your child are moving freely. They are having a whale of a time, eating, drinking, enjoying themselves. It is as if the
EVA'S POVI kept tossing and turning on my bed. No matter how hard I tried, Alex’s screams kept resounding in my mind. Not that I felt something for him… Just that it was disturbing me. I resolved not to go and check on him since it would portray me as a weak person and Alex would start pestering me to forgive him. This was something I couldn’t do. My heart was like a well of fire that wanted only revenge. There was no place for any other emotions and you can’t forgive w
EVA’S POVI paced up and down my room. It was two days since Alex had turned into a statue. I was in a dilemma. One part of my brain said I should let him remain as he is. But another part of my brain was hell-bent on helping him out by giving me hundreds of reasons to revive him. In the end, I convinced myself that reviving him was the best option since he can’t feel anything in the current state and there was no use punishing someone without making them feel the suffering. Aura had
EVA'S POVSusie gripped me by the shoulder and spun me around. Her nails dug into my arms causing me to wince in pain. She glared at me and said, “How can you do this, Eva? I know Alex made a mistake… But don’t we all make mistakes? The consequences turned out to be harsh because of the games played by other people. You should be taking revenge by killing them and not by leaving Alex to die.”Tears stung my eyes as I roared, “ You think he is t
ALEX’S POV“Ahhh!!! No!! Please… Alex… ambulance…” Eva’s piercing cry woke me at the dead of the night. She was doubled over with pain."Are you alright?" I asked caressing her head."Do I look alright? Call the damned ambulance." She screamed grasping her abdomen.“F***!” I said jumping off my bed and picked up the phone. Tring…tring…tring…
EVA’S POV“Where are we going, Alex?” I asked trying to peek at the destination shown on the Google map. “Don’t cheat, Eva. Don’t ruin my surprise…” Alex said steering the car. “Alright… alright… You can at least tell me if I will like this place…” I said shrugging my shoulders.“I don’t know, Eva. It isn’t exactly the kind of place you like.”“Then, why are we going there?
ALEX’S POVI had to leave the room. I was scared I would hurt Eva if I stayed there any longer.My blood boiled when I heard Eva talking about drinking the potion. I had died a thousand deaths every day watching her life ebb slowly. Here she was, ready to risk her life in the blink of an eye. I continued walking aimlessly through the palace, then the garden, just trying to let out some steam. Suddenly my feet came to a halt. What if Eva tried to drink the potion while I was not with her.
EVA'S POV“Alex… what if I die before giving birth to our daughter? Worse… if I die after her birth…” My lips trembled as I voiced out my concern. He ran his hand over my head and said, “Don’t think like that Eva, I promise, I will not let anything happen to you…”I pursed my lips and nodded my head. I didn’t want to worry Alex anymore but I couldn’t get the words of the spirit out of my head, ‘You will die a slow painful death!’“Remember the words of the spirit, Eva. She has ble
EVA'S POVThe moment I opened my eyes, I had to shield them with my hands. I winced and said, “Ah… please draw the curtains. This light is unbearable.”Once the intensity oflight decreased I was able to open my eyes again. I tried to get up when I realized that I was in an unfamiliar room. I was still squinting as the light hurt slightly. Someone grasped my hands and made me lie down again. “Queen, you need to rest…&rd
I stared at my flat stomach in the mirror. It had been a week since the spirit had blessed me… alright… cursed me too but Alex and I had decided to focus only on the blessing part. “Wondering if you are pregnant?” Alex whispered as he hugged me from behind, softly nibbling my ears. “This wait is driving me crazy, Alex… when do you think I would get pregnant…”“I don’t know about that but we can try to increase our chances you know…” When I caught the naughty glint in his eyes my face heated and lowered my
EVA'S POVThe queasy feeling subsided after all the drink was out of my system. I heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the throne. My eyes flitted to Alex and the other Golden Shiffters gazing at me with worry. Damn! Why was this giving me a headache?“Are you alright, Eva?” Alex said, placing his hand on my head and projecting some energy into me. “Yeah… I am good… I think the glasses got interchanged and I drank Soma instead of blood… by the way, where is Victoria. Is she alright?”“I think she went to her room, Quee
THIRD PERSON’S POVCheerful chatter filled the Dining hall as everyone gathered in the hall. Every once in a while there would be silence when a pang of grief hit someone but they tried their best to keep up the lively atmosphere. “I have to say that Queen Eva has a very large heart…I mean I have never known anyone who can forgive someone who tried to steal their husband…”“True… She not only forgave her but she is accepting Victoria’s daughter as her Godchild….”“Hmmm…. But I am a bit scare
ALEX'S POV“Eva, I can’t believe a week has passed without any mishaps..” I said hugging Eva from the back. “Hmmm… everyone is still depressed. It tears me apart to see them lamenting and brooding. We have to do something, Alex…”She was right. We couldn’t continue to spend our entire life buried under layers of sorrow and darkness. It would defeat the purpose of our existence. “Eva, I think I know what to do…”&ldq
