Chapter Fifty-Nine MirahNone of this made sense. Not the fact that I was witnessing a real supernatural war, which wasn't supposed to exist at all.Or the fact that I'd actually tried to kill Zeke, based on the fact that I thought he'd tried orchestrating my death.Blood oozed from his wound, making my heart ache even further.If he was defeated, I definitely played a huge role in it.But I wondered who the man whom Zeke had referred to as Uncle Xavier, was.Oh.I almost gave myself a facepalm. Of course he was Zeke's uncle. And from all indications, he was the one behind everything that's happened.But I couldn't understand why Xavier insisted that I had a huge role to play in whatever puzzle or game this was.I shivered as some cloaked men approached us, hands raised. I turned hastily to Zeke who had a murderous look on his face.“We meet again, King Tyler, and King Natchez.” He didn't flinch from the approaching men.“I hope you retain your confidence
Chapter Sixty ZekeAnxiousness.Fear.A very foreign feeling. One I hadn't felt in a long while. Till I met Mirabella Aurel.That feeling clawed so hard at my heart, keeping me rooted at a spot. My legs felt numb, as I struggled to my feet.Tyler was feeding her blood to the Source already. And at the rate it was flowing, it'd definitely end her life.I dashed forward without thinking.“It’s dangerous, Zeke!” Someone called out from behind me. I ignored his words, my focus entirely on my woman.The woman whose body was my addiction.The woman I worshiped.My kitten.Queen Belinda pulled me from behind. “Attacking him would only endanger Mirah.”I froze in my tracks. I looked up to see that the Source was fast pulling Mirah into its hole. I dashed forward again.No.I was ready to die in her place. She didn't deserve to die in this manner. She didn't deserve to die at all.“Mirah!” I called out desperately, the voice sounding nothing like me.I pulled on her other hand, a
Chapter Sixty-One ZekeMirah.That was the name that came to mind as my eyes slipped open. I half-expected to find her close to me. Or within close range.Only that I didn't find Mirah when I looked around. Instead, an injured Queen Belinda sat few meters away with Natasha tending to her.“You’re awake.” Queen B muttered. A statement not a question.I forced myself up, and looked around again. Kai nodded at me, Qyle and Gwev were absent.“Where’s Mirah?” I asked, my voice coming off dry. I swallowed, and clambered down the immaculate bed I'd been lying on.I didn't make it few steps away, when I collided with the ground.“I’d advise you rest first. You aren't strong enough to walk yet.” Natasha said calmly without looking up from her mother's wounded leg.I groaned, and forced myself back to the bed. I sat on the edge, and swallowed again.“What happened?” I asked.“We have no idea. You just erupted, and we found ourselves here at Gavemorth. Wounded, of course.” Quee
Chapter Sixty-Two Mirah His body tensed.I looked down, a frown making its way up my face when I saw his pleasure covered face mingled with something else.Pain.And he was trying hard not to let me see it, from the way he avoided my gaze.I stopped riding him, and got off his body.“What’s wrong Zeke?” I asked, breathing fast.My heart was swirling with emotions. Emotions so different. The ones I hadn't felt ever since growing up. This man whom I doubted most of the time, had been ready to lay down his life in my place hours ago. Yeah, even though his great-grandfather had been the perpetrator.But he'd been ready to die for me.A tear slipped down my cheek as he winced again.“Zeke?” I whispered, my fear evident.“It’s nothing. Why did you stop?” He asked, his voice lower than before.It put me on edge, my pleasure forgotten.“You’re in pain. I'll get the others.” As I spoke, I placed one leg down the bed frame, ready to dash out of the room.“Your clothes,” he
Chapter Sixty-Three MirahAccording to Queen Belinda, this kingdom was underwater. Which I hadn't realized till now.It didn't seem like we were underwater at all. The oxygen, everything was normal.I walked beside Zeke, as Queen Belinda led us towards a portal she'd created which would take us directly above water.As I stepped through the portal this time, I felt different. The swirl of purple magic made me feel warm inside.“Do you feel that?” I whispered to Zeke who'd been avoiding my gaze ever since we stepped out of the room. I could see remorse written on his face.I planned to have a chat with him later, after settling the feud I had with those liars.“What?” He whispered back, looking straight ahead.“The warm feeling. It's almost as if I can control it myself,” I said, which made me frown.It didn't make sense.Except for the few spells I'd been taught by that bitch and her son, and the time Zeke had turned me into a vampire- which I no longer was, and the
Chapter Sixty-Four MirahA joke.It definitely had to be a joke. I felt like I was witnessing a scene I had no business with.A human controlling the foundation of a supernatural world?“This makes no sense,” I massaged my temple, looking around the table. “It does, Destined.” Kaleb said, and I glowered at him.“Don’t call me that.” I snapped at him.“Why did you guys abduct her while we were fighting with Xavier?” Zeke asked, gesturing at the white-haired Xavier, while looking at Roanna.I perked my ears for her response.“You were about to send her back in time. We were working on your uncle's orders.” Roanna replied calmly.“So you knew about this from the start?” Zeke asked again.“I didn't. I'm only just discovering about this now.” She replied with a sigh.“Is this going to affect anything? We aren't supposed to know that this is another lifetime right?” I suddenly asked, cutting through the tension that filled the room.Queen Belinda exchanged glances with Xavie
Chapter Sixty-Five Mirah “I quit,” I grunted, my arms feeling numb and sweat running down my back. “Well, you don't exactly have a choice.” Natasha chuckled behind me as I slumped down to the ground. “On the contrary, I do have a choice.” I panted, feeling tired than I'd ever been in a long time. We were outside in an open field behind the dome-like palace, practicing on how to create a portal. It was the third day of training, and I was ready to give up. There was no way I'd be able to master the Source's powers in time for the final battle. And according to X and Queen Belinda, we were running out of time. “It's not that hard, see?” She said. I followed her actions, closing my eyes and focusing on the place I wanted to transport to. My world suddenly became dark, and I panicked. “I can't see!” I yelled, looking around for her. I didn't see Natasha nor the beautiful scenery that was behind us a moment ago. Instead, I spotted a strand of purple flame, its fli
Chapter Sixty-Six ZekeI punched the wall furiously, leaving a large dent.“Calm down, Zeke.” Kai said and I ignored him.“Have you sensed her yet?” I heard Queen Belinda asked someone. Probably Natasha.“No, Mother. It's as if she vanished. I can't sense her in Vermont. Or the Dark realm.” Her voice cracked as she spoke.“I'm going to fucking kill Tyler if he dares to harm her.” I spat.I was beyond angry. Mirah's hurtful words had stabbed me right where it hurt the most, leaving me numb and unable to stop her when she was about to leave.“I don't think Tyler took her. He isn't powerful enough to mask someone's presence.” Qyle observed.“So who's it then?” I asked.“We don't know. And that's why we have to tread with caution.” My uncle said grimly.I massaged my temple. All had been well all day. I'd watched from the window, as Natasha trained with Mirah. And I'd admired her determination.I could still remember how proud I'd been when she finally created a portal. An
