Chapter Fifty-Three

Zeke

I needed a hot drink to calm my racing heart.

I didn't turn, even as I heard Qyle's footsteps follow me to another part of the field.

This place was a dimension which Kai had created with his shadowing skills. We were still on the battle ground, and Xavier was still lurking around. But we'd bought ourselves some time.

It was taking me time to wrap my heart around the fact that Mirah had actually tried to stab me with a dagger. Even though I knew it wasn't her doing.

“Would you be fine if she returns?” He asked softly behind me, and I tensed further.

I tucked my hands into my pocket. “I don't know. At the moment, my chest is burning.” I said hoarsely.

“From the wound?” He asked, and I heard the leaves rustle beneath his feet.

I turned to face him. “My heart,” my voice dropped, and I fell to my knees. I was feeling double pain.

From my pain and hers.

“It feels like it has been ripped into smithereens. I can't breathe.” I willed myself to sto

    Chapter Fifty-Four MirahAll I could remember was that I'd been about to reach out for Zeke. He'd been at my front, pouring his powers to Kai. But everything changed the next second. I'd lost my consciousness.And now, I woke up in a completely different place. I clutched the edge of the flowery duvet, sniffing for the familiar scent of Xavier. 'Cause I was sure as hell that he was behind all this.I took a defensive stance when the door opened. I peered over, expecting to see Xavier walk in with that annoying smirk of his, that irritated me to no end.However, a woman with a kindly face walked in. Her dress flowed down to her ankle, and she walked with grace and poise.“Who are you?” I managed to ask.She smiled, and I had to admit that this woman was beautiful. She should be around the age of forty. “It's good to see that you're alive. We thought you were dead.” She said instead.I frowned. “Dead? Why?” “I'm not sure you're ready for that conversation, dear.”

    Chapter Fifty-Five MirahIt had to be untrue.My eyes were probably playing tricks on me.Or not.The scene playing out in front of me proved it. Zeke and the others had truly planned to kill me. I froze at a spot, making no sound.Even when Roanna retracted her magic, and the scene vanished. “Do you believe us now?” She asked.I couldn't respond. My heart was numb. A part of me wanted to argue. To prove that what I'd just watched wasn't true. “Why did you save me?” I asked.“You play a vital role in this game of power, Mirah. Your heart is a special kind, and that is why King Xavier is interested in you.” Roanna said, tapping her fork on her plate.“King Xavier?” I repeated.“Yes. You've met him. He's the king of the Rogue-brids, the exiled.” She continued.“I don't understand. What role does a human have to play in the game of the supernatural world?” I asked, making no effort to hide my confusion.“The Dark realm consists of nine pillars. The Vampires, The See-b

    Chapter Fifty-Six Zeke“Something isn't right,” I voiced out my thoughts aloud. Natasha adjusted her position on the chair, while Kai moved away from her.“I feel the same too. Everything is moving too smoothly. And Xavier hasn't attacked in a while.” Gwev seconded.“Didn't you say this place is masked by a certain magic, and no one can find us here?” Kai asked, and I turned towards Gwev.“That isn't even my line of focus. Zeke, what is the Circle like? The Heart, I mean?” Natasha asked, and I frowned.My brows knitted together, finally relaxing when I understood what she was talking about.“Everyone's too calm. Too calm for my liking. It's almost as if this isn't a war.” Qyle put in, stroking his knuckle.It has already been weeks since Mirah was taken away. And though I'd wanted to go after her immediately, Kai had reasoned that it might be a bait by Xavier.I'd fought down the urge to go after her, until we carefully crafted out a plan to take down Xavier once and

    Chapter Fifty-Seven MirahI twirled my finger, marveling at the flame that appeared on its tip. I could feel something different inside me. After my encounter with that woman weeks ago, I'd been trained by Roanna and her son; Kaleb.At the moment, I was sure I could hold my own against any vampire. Or Rogue-brid.I sensed a presence at that moment, just as the door kicked open and Roanna walked in. She was dressed in a flowing gown as usual.“Mirabella dear,” Roanna smiled, going over to sit on the edge of the bed.I was still looking at the wall. “Wouldn't you like to come out now?” I called out.Someone chuckled, before coming out through the walls. “I'm glad to see that your magic is improving,” Kaleb said, his eyes gleaming. He turned towards Roanna. “Mother.”“Welcome Son,” Roanna nodded at him.I couldn't help the sudden feeling that sprouted in my mind. It was almost as if the both of them were communicating with each other. And it made me feel uncomfortable

    Chapter Fifty-Eight ZekeI was convinced that Mirah's sword had something on it. Why else was I seeing my uncle who wasn't supposed to be in existence anymore?And why was Xavier bowing to him?My head ached. Of course. I should've known.“Uncle Xavier?” I whispered.“Beautiful reunion, I should say.” He spread out his arms, and laughed.“You were behind all these?” The disbelief in my voice was evident. From the corner of my eye, I could see Qyle looking at my uncle as if he wanted him to drop dead at that moment.“As you can see. You know, you've always been too smart for your age. I noticed it centuries ago, and I loved it then. But after being thrown out by your father-”“He didn't throw you out. You killed Mother.” I hissed, my hand tightening on the sword hanging on my waist.“Is that what they made you believe?” His lips curled, and I was taken aback.“It’s the truth.” I argued.“The truth they made you believe, rather.” He scoffed.I was about to speak, when

    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

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

    EPILOGUE Mirah“This is beautiful,” I breathed, letting go of Zeke's hand and standing on my feet.Candles were set up on the table, and the entire decor was so romantic. I turned back and kissed Zeke gently.“Thank you,” I muttered softly.He held onto my waist, and led me towards the table.“You deserve more, Kitten.” He said.“I never knew you had this romantic side to you,” I teased.“And like I said before, there are many sides to me that you don't know.” He chuckled. “But you will,” He quickly added, making the glower I was already putting on dissolve.“Better,” I laughed.After he poured us wine and I clinked my glass against his, I caught him staring intensely at me.“What? Do I have something on my face?” I asked, suddenly feeling shy.“Not at all. I just can't stop staring at you.” He said, lifting his glass towards his mouth.“I guess you're lucky then,” I winked.“Oh you have no idea, Kitten.” My skin scorched under his hot stare, and I pressed my le

    Chapter Seventy-Seven MirahI took a deep breath, as I took in the faces of everyone present round the large table, in Mt Glacier.We'd automatically transformed it into a meeting place where all kingdoms met for discussion.“It has surely been a tough, intense ride for the past few months. I'm glad everything is over,” I began, my voice ringing clearly around the room.“But since everything is over, I'd like to return the Source to the rightful owner.” I said, letting my gaze land on Xavier.A temporary silence reigned, before Xavier broke it.“The Source chose you for a reason, Mirabella. You're kind, compassionate, and selfless. You're everything a Controller should possess. And I'm sorry for all the time I'd pretended to harm you.” Xavier said, the words sounding odd, considering how icy he was.But I smiled all the same. “I understand. But I don't belong here. You guys know it too.” Natasha rose to her feet, rounded the table, and came over to hug me.“I’l

    Chapter Seventy-Six ZEKE/MIRAH MirahWe fought off members of the Circle with ease, as we advanced towards Mt Glacier.I dealt Master Damian a fierce punch, and sent him flying in the air.At the side, Zeke was fighting too. Gone was his indifferent demeanor, and its place was fierceness. A bloodthirsty look.“Watch out!” I turned and yelled.He moved from the position he'd been, and his grandfather's claws swiped at empty air.“Natchez, good to see you on the battlefield.” He scoffed, as their swords clanged.“It’s King Natchez to you.” His grandfather grunted, and dealt Zeke a blow on his jaw.I darted towards them, when a claw suddenly swiped in front of me. I staggered a few inches away, before gaining my footing.“I ceased to respect you the moment you chose to side with evil,” I heard Zeke sneer before piercing straight into his grandfather's chest a sword laced with vampires-bane.“Nice of you guys to join the party.” I heard Tyler sneer.

    Chapter Seventy-Five Mirah I spluttered, as I fell to the ground. Zeke ran over to my side, panic spreading over his face. “I’m fine,” I managed a smile, as he helped me up. “You’re not. What happened?” He asked, placing an arm around my neck, and leading me back towards the tower. The others tailed us. “I’m hungry,” I murmured. “We’ll get you something to eat. But what happened? Why do you have bruises on your arm?” He questioned, his voice dropping dangerously low. “Zeke, calm down,” I could see how angry he was, from his bulging veins. His anger seeped into our bond, making my heart burn. “I didn't want you to go.” He said gruffly. “But I'm back now, and safe too.” I countered, pulling away from him to walk on my own. The others were watching, so I managed a smile. “I’ll go get cleaned up,” I said, my voice barely a whisper as I tried to push past him. His hand gripped my arm. “Follow me.” He said, and pulled me away towards the tower. “You’re hurting

    Chapter Seventy-Four MirahI hid behind a tree as I watched the swirl of dark energy swoosh past. I'd been roaming through the streets of Weasels for the past one hour, while staying hidden of course. I'd already used a spell on my back, where Darcel had stabbed me.The Lumi had completely taken over Weasels and the dark energy that spread around,made my heart beat fast.I waited until it had gone far, before coming out of my hiding place.My destination was the castle, although I doubted if Tyler was there. According to Zeke, Tyler hated the royal castle.And I wondered why, considering the fact that he wanted power. I held on to the hilt of my dark sword as I advanced.After minutes of hiding and resurfacing, the castle came into sight. I climbed a tree, so I could catch a clear glimpse of the security around.Turns out the guards manning the gates were Vampires. And they looked…different.Possessed.I inhaled sharply, and then jumped down from the tree.“Hey, there

    Chapter Seventy-Three Mirah“Black spots, calloused hands, and bleeding nose,” I turned to Zeke who was standing close to me.“Why do I feel like each time we get close to winning, another problem arises taking us back to square one?” I sighed.“What’s the Book saying?” Kai asked, bringing in another sick person.“Da-ji has gone oddly silent, I can't even get a response out of it.” I said, massaging my temple.“Da-ji?” Zeke muttered.“Oh, that's the name of the Book. How about we get a message across to Queen Belinda? She may have a solution.” I asked, facing Natasha.“We can't risk it. Creating a portal is sure to attract the Lumi and Tyler. We agreed not to use magic within the fortress.” She replied, making creases appear on my forehead.Just great.A week ago, the Vampires within the fortress had begun developing a strange kind of illness, which made them fall unconscious. The numbers of affected people seemed to be increasing each day.And- which was the most f

Keep looking at me like that, and I can't guarantee if we'll get out of this lake early.” He said hoarsely, his gaze burning into my skin.I held his gaze challengingly. “You can't go for that long,” I scoffed and yelped almost immediately, as he spanked my ass.His hand palmed my mound, while making lazy circles that made me shudder.“It’s not my fault that the men you've been with before me were weak, Kitten.” He said, leading his hand to his now bulging erection.With one swift move, he turned me around so my ass hovered close to his cock. I inched closer, a jolt running through my body when I finally came in contact with his erection.“You’re so naughty, Kitten.” He murmured, spanking my ass yet again.“Would you like it

    Chapter Seventy-One Mirah“In, in! Fast!” I called out, waving towards the door that led into the fortress.Vampires, PantherBrids- who looked in fact nothing like their name, Shadowers, piled in. I was mesmerized by how fast Kai and the others were bringing them over through a portal which Natasha was maintaining. The Dark realm was well…quite a lot.And according to Zeke, they were just three kingdoms. There were six others.Four of which had joined Tyler's scheme, and two- Rogue-brids and See-brids who were hiding at Gavemorth.The fortress turned out to be a beautiful island large enough to contain the entire Dark realm, complete with amenities.It wasn't actually built. I just had to open a certain page of the Book, and utter some words already written. With pure intentions.I could see the look the Vampires threw at me, especially since Zeke wasn't present. The other kingdoms weren't a hassle since their leaders were present.Thinking of Zeke made the worry
