Faking the Mate Bond 52. Bound to break
[Diana’s POV] Zephyr and I rushed to the palace. Right when we reached outside my father's office, I saw Reese come out of it. My heart caught an anxious pace. He definitely told father about my announcement. What a childish jerk! He looked at me and then glared at Zephyr. I literally wanted to punch his face, but I held back. I knew I had to take responsibility for my actions, so I will. Without saying a word, Reese walked past us, deliberately bumping his shoulder with Zephyr’s. “Mind your steps, lowborn,” Reese said, gritting his teeth. Zephyr stepped closer to me, wrapping his arm across my shoulder, “certainly my prince. The path’s all yours.” Reese grabbed Zephyr’s collar, yanking him roughly away from me. “I am looking for an opportunity, lowborn. The day I get one, you are going out of my sister’s life for good.” He snarled. I tore Zephyr away from Reese and stepped in between them. “Don’t force me to open my mouth in front of father because that will not end well

[Diana’s POV]I glared at Archer.With a frozen smile, he hid behind father.“Alpha, save me. Princess will kill me,” Archer said timidly.Father glanced at him from over his shoulder and sighed, shutting his eyes.“Diana, the only reason you know nothing about wizards and the world of magic is because I ensured you didn’t. Forgive Archer, ok?”I grunted, tensing my brows.“Why? Why should I forgive him? I asked him about his wands, and he said they were collectibles for some magical novel. He lied to me.”“Because I ordered him to,” father said.He walked to me and stroked my hair.“Diana, initially, I thought the best way to protect you would be to keep you away from the outer and the magical world. But, I was wrong. The only way to protect you is by introducing you to the world we have been hiding you from.”I was even more confused.“Why do I need to be protected or hidden?” I asked.“You will get all your answers. We need to start with the beginning and that is why Archer will ta

[Diana’s POV] “You must have heard about the fallen angels, princess. The ones who later came to be known as the Devil trinity.” Archer asked. I nodded. “Yes, the three most feared devils of all time.” “Right. Albaris, Ikrai, Madiero became the three demon kings and Serith became the queen of all demons. The three angels brought with themselves almost all the secrets of heaven and divinity,” Archer said. “And Serith now had half divinity and half demon powers. That is why her eyes had two different colours. One was blazing like the fire of hell and the other colder than the frozen glaciers,” father said. I widened my eyes. I touched the corner of my eyes. I shook my head. No, it can’t be. I shouldn’t overthink. There would be hundreds of people in this world with heterochromatic eyes like mine. It doesn’t have to mean anything. ‘Yeah, right…’ Kiera said nervously. Archer cleared his throat, breaking my reverie. “Princess, are you ok?” He asked. “Y-yeah,” I said. “Just a l

[Diana’s POV]“All Serith could do was try to protect her people from the ambush that came absolutely randomly with Micah’s army, outnumbering hers every time. It was all done according to Micah’s plan,” Archer said.“But even after Serith had accepted her defeat, Micah didn’t stop his armies. For Micah, it was a war to prove to Serith that in the end he, a man, would be the one to dominate her. And kill every last one of the offspring that was born from Serith crushing his ego, disgracing him and his pride by dominating him and stealing his seeds,” father said.Archer took us back into the Cloris valley. Father, Archer and I sat on the rocks on the bank of the Cloris river that flowed across the valley.The fairies were still hiding behind the leaves, flowers and bushes, but I could see several of them sneak at us from their hiding spots.“Serith understood Micah wouldn’t stop until he wipes off all her children, so she gathered the leftover demonic werewolves and took them to an uni

[Diana’s POV] Father stood before me, looking into my eyes. His brows knit with fear and guilt. “You are my daughter, Diana. That’s all I know,” he said, caressing my cheek. “You are my daughter, and that’s the only thing that matters to me. Nothing else is even worth considering.” I stared at him blankly. I didn’t know what to feel. If numbness could be felt, I would say I was feeling it in my entirety. “The prestigious light bender who was married to alpha Urza, was it luna Willa?” I asked. Father dropped his gaze as he clenched his jaws. His adam’s apple bobbed as he gave a curt nod. I chuckled through the numbness clawing up my body. “No wonder she hates me so much,” I mumbled. “No, Diana…” father held my shoulders, but I slid his hands off me, stepping away from him. “She does… that’s why she didn’t want me to leave the pack. The Jupitus pack asked her to kill you and then me. They are willing to face the worst of the worst, but not me… isn’t it?” I held my heavy head.

[Diana’s POV] Zephyr kissed my forehead, slowly caressing my cheek. He looked at me, giving me a calm smile. I clenched my fist, feeling myself fall deeper into a kind of love I always yearned for, but never received. I hugged him, snuggling in the curve of his neck. He draped his arms around me, cradling me to his chest. My heart skipped beats at his every touch, planting his warmth on my skin. I gulped hard, thinking a thousand times before I kissed his adam’s apple. He stopped stroking my back as if he had frozen. I bit my bottom lips. Trailing down my hand from his chest to his abs, I unbuttoned his shirt. With every kiss on his body, I felt my body heat drastically. “You should rest, princess,” Zephyr said. I finally looked into his eyes and whispered, “I am resting.” I hesitantly tore off my gaze from his. “I am sorry, I… don’t know what I was thinking…” I felt the heat of his gaze burn my cheeks. “I… never mind me. I should’ve asked you before. I am sorry…” Embarr

[Zephyr’s POV] She thawed at my touch. Her gaze melted needily when she looked at me. As if I was the last drop of water, she needed to survive from dehydration. I loved the way she shuddered at my mere caress, her eyes tearing up while I devoured her. She lecherously bit her lips to lock her moans in her throat, but lost all control and restraint as soon as she orgasmed. The freedom to touch and the consent to do it as I liked. I had starved for all of them, but— ‘Your marriage is bound to break. Both of you and your futures aren’t compatible.’ ‘What if Diana demands the break-up? What if break-up is the only way to ensure your and Diana’s safety?’ Those words were engraved on my mind and no matter how much I tried to look past them, I couldn’t. Because I knew what Alpha Urza said was right. A lot of things were about to happen in my life and all of it would start during the championship like it happened in my previous life. For Diana, she is doing a new start with a boy she

[Zephyr’s POV] “Did I do something wrong? I mean… did I hurt you?” Diana asked, baffled. I put on my boxers and pants properly. My silence was making the entire room loom with awkwardness. I picked the handkerchief from the couch and walked closer to Diana. I reached out to wipe her face when she held my hand. “What happened, Zeph? Talk to me…” “I am sorry, princess. I-I can’t… I can’t go any further than this. I am so sorry.” Her tensed brows relaxed slightly. “Oh…” she said, letting out her held breath. “That’s fine,” she forced a faint smile. “You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. But why?” I sat beside her on the bed and wiped her face. “I-I… I have been thinking about what alpha said about us and our marriage,” I paused. “And… It has been bothering me even when I believe I can make us work.” “Ok. So… Do you believe that our marriage will fall apart?” she asked. “No. It won’t. I won’t let it. I’ll do everything in my power to let nothing like that happen to us

Faking the Mate Bond 141. Under the starry night
[Zephyr’s POV] Diana and Kaz regained their consciousness as the three of us returned to the sky, our battlefield. Kaz looked at Diana and then at me. The mana I had gathered around me was massive enough to cause an explosion that would end half of the world. I knew I had to stop, but I didn’t know how to stop it. Diana was already weak and upon that I was absorbing mana right from her soul. I need to get her away from me… Kaz flew beside Diana. Grabbing her arm, he tore her away from my proximity. Breaking the gravity of my soul that pulled mana from his soul, he pushed Diana towards the ground. “Zephyr…” Diana’s scream faltered as she neared the ground. I whistled sharply. The winds, combined with Kaz’s threads of mana, surrounded her and helped her land safely on the ground. Kaz turned to me. “It’s you against me now. Kill me and end this last war,” he said. “If I do that, who will save this world?” I said. Kaz frowned. “What do you mean?” “With the amount of mana

[Diana’s POV]Grave?I felt my body go limp.I shook my head. No. This isn’t possible.Archer and Willa teleported me to the graveyard where Janus and lady Ilana had dug out a coffin.Carol shrieked agonizingly over the coffin.“No. No…” Stumbling, I fell beside the coffin.Janus dug his claws into the coffin and broke open the lid.“Zeph!”“Zephyr!”“Son!”Archer and Janus got Zephyr out of the coffin and laid him on the ground.His pulse and breaths were weak. He was unconscious.I covered my mouth with my hands. Kazeal had buried him alive.“Zeph! Zephyr!” Janus shook his body. “Hey man! Get up!”“Zephyr! Son!” Lady Ilana tapped his cheek.Archer made his way beside Zephyr. He asked us to move away from Zephyr to allow air circulation around him.“Ila, check his pulses and tell me if they turn weak,” Archer said and lady Ilana scuttled beside Zephyr, keeping her fingers on his pulses.“Messiah!” Kazeal roared.Janus stood in front of me and Willa, glaring right into Kazeal’s eyes.
Faking the Mate Bond 139. Light through darkness
[Diana’s POV](Trigger warning: Reader’s discretion advised.)***Ever since I returned to the Pretis palace, I knew something was off.But it took me a while to realize that something was wrong with Zephyr. I felt it odd when I told him I wanted to rest and he just let me rest.Whenever I say I wanted to rest, we usually end up having sex, but this Zephyr was trying to avoid intimacy with me. Yes, he hugged me, but that was it. He even avoided kisses. I will not lie. I was scared for some time that maybe everything that was going around me was affecting our relationship. The thought that Zephyr might actually be falling out of love with me haunted me until Janus asked me the same thing.Janus told me how Zephyr was not Zephyr, even though he almost completely acted like Zephyr.That’s when I sensed it and I wished we were wrong, so I checked it for myself yesterday.Kazeal might have prepared himself to be like Zephyr in every aspect, but I knew he wouldn’t ever be able to prepare
Faking the Mate Bond 138. Illusion of traps
[Kazeal’s POV]Diana cowered into my arms, clenching on to me as if I was her last lifeline left. I was.“Relax, Dia. These are just nightmares.”These nightmares are my gift to you, my Messiah. I hope you see for yourself what you have done to this world.It’s still not too late. You still have time. Stop before things slip from my hands as well.I stroked her back as she drifted back into sleep. Another round of those nightmares that I had designed to break her slowly, but certainly.I sighed, peering at the ceiling, hugging her tighter as she panted with a slight tremble taking over her body again.“No… no…” she mumbled.I intertwined my fingers with hers.“It’s alright, Dia. Everything’s fine, just fall asleep.”Stay dreaming and leave the reality to me. I will bring everything you have misplaced in this world back to its place.*****“You don’t have to attend to meeting if you aren’t feeling well—” She had the power to make me speechless without even trying.Words seized from my
Faking the Mate Bond 137. War and aftermath
[Diana’s POV]It hadn’t even been a week to father’s burial, and Willa was gone. She hadn’t taken a single thing from the palace. All she left behind was a note saying that she no longer had a reason to stay in the Xenon pack.Often the walls that look the strongest are the hollowest. Reese was in the same condition.Most of the time, Reese stayed by father’s grave.“It’s dinnertime, Reese. Let’s go.” I placed my hand on his shoulder.He was lost in nothingness. Recently, silence had been his only response.I knelt beside him.He had completed father’s burial without shedding a tear. But that didn’t mean father’s death hadn’t affected him at all. And after Willa left, his condition had worsened. He was bottling himself up.Although he kept himself busy with the pack affairs and the war with Gloratia, it was at times like these I could see his pain in his eyes.Meanwhile, because of Serith’s powers, I knew father was in a better place, reunited with mother. Even so, I felt his absence
Faking the Mate Bond 136. Don't blame me
[Zephyr’s POV]What we have been preparing for has finally begun.Diana had waged a war against the outer world. By now, the demonic werewolves would have started appearing all around Lycannora.After demonisation she had changed a lot. Diana’s appearance seemed as a reflection of Serith herself. Her horns, the dark vine tattoos that wrapped around her hands and around her neck. Her blood-red eyes that had the power to stop time if she wished. Her aura that held the gravity that could alter dimensions and space. Diana’s presence overpowered almost everyone and everything on the battlefield.The goddess of the underworld had surfaced and the Serithian war had begun.It hadn’t even been an hour and the Wenos army seemed so subdued. There was no way mortals could keep up with a goddess’ incarnation. The only person who had the power to stand against Diana was the Saint.Devon walked closer to Diana and stood between her and his army.“Prince, what are you doing?” Ragnar asked Devon.“R
Faking the Mate Bond 135. She's gone
[Kazeal’s POV]She’s gone.I had searched every corner of the Heat Knox tower.Diana has escaped.A stifling bitterness rose in my chest like a burning stab. My crazily pulsating heart was only darkening my thoughts and coherence.Clenching my fists and jaws, I shut my eyes.It’s not like I have never been angry before, but I had never experienced such an excruciating wrath before. Its extremeness was sinful.I stared at my palms.How did she slip out of my grip?The warmth of her body and the softness of her skin are still afresh in my hands.When did she obscure my senses?How in heaven did she escape?I don’t get it. I don’t understand this.Wiping my sweat around my lips, I sat on her bed. Raking back my hair, I held my burning head.Taking a deep breath, I licked my dry lips.There is no way she can escape this place on her own. Not even with her Messiah powers. The only key is with me and without my mana, the barriers around the tower cannot even be sensed by normal wizards.But
Faking the Mate Bond 134. Let's rewrite our stars
[Zephyr’s POV]I kept whistling in the eolian language, summoning a storm around Alpha Urza’s body as a barrier from the rest of the battlefield. Kneeling beside his body, I peered at him blankly. I held his cold hand in mine. With a blurry vision, I looked at the sky. Kaz’s men hovered over the Wenos palace. Through the blustering winds cutting me off from the rest of the world, I looked at my army that was in constant struggle with the Saint’s men. I couldn’t keep track of everyone from where I was, but I could tell that Archer and mother had left the battlefield a while ago. “We, the wizards under the Saint’s command, give you the Jupitus army a chance to retreat. Stop the attacks and retreat or else we will have to pacify you by any means possible.” A wizard hovering right above Asashi and Aera warned. So finally, Kazeal has openly involved himself in this war. “We do not wish any harm to the innocent. We are here to preserve peace and stop the war. If any of you launch any
