Chapter Forty-Three

Zeke

All it'd have taken, was one hitch to spoil our plans. Luckily, Xavier was arrogant enough not to notice the fact that we easily allowed ourselves to be captured.

While he was gloating in self-victory, Qyle had activated the secret amulet which Queen Belinda had given us before we set out. It was a powerful amulet, known to disarm even the most powerful of Rogue-brids.

I sat outside the tent which we set up, staring at the blazing bonfire in the cold night. Nastasha and Qyle joined me.

“If our plans had gone awry, were you really going to allow him take your powers?” She asked, pulling the blanket even closer around her body.

I didn't respond. I pondered over her words, and at the realization that I'd have really done it just to save Mirah's life, my eyes widened.

“What's next?” Qyle asked, shaking me out of my thoughts.

I heaved a sigh. “He wasn't acting in isolation. I'm sure he had someone supporting him.”

“And what you're saying is-” Nata

    Chapter Forty-Four MirahZeke wasn't in the room when I woke up. I sat up with a groan, and stretched my limbs. My body felt sore, in a good way of course.My phone lit up on the bedside table, and I reached for it. “Hey, girl.” I murmured.“Still alive?” Nessa asked, and I chuckled.It was great that I was still alive. She might have uttered it as a joke, but I knew what I went through in the past few hours.“I am,” I laughed. “I'm at Zeke's.” I added.“You guys made up?” She didn't sound surprised. Trust Nessa with her matchmaking skills that didn't apply to her own self.“Obviously,” I yawned and got off the bed, and headed towards the bathroom.“Let's meet up when we can. Your boyfriend has enjoyed your company more than I have in years.” She grumbled.I couldn't resist laughing. “Maybe if you find a man, you wouldn't need my company so much.” I teased.I could imagine her gagging face.“Nah, I'm not ready for any commitment of any sort. I'll call you later, an

    Chapter Forty-Five ZekeI could see the hurt in her eyes, as she backed away. She averted her gaze.“But why? Why?” I heard her whisper.“He hurt you, Mirah. You didn't object when I dealt with his goons sometime ago. Why are you upset about this matter?” That was what I couldn't comprehend.“Because,” she looked up, and began walking over to me. She halted right at my front, and jabbed a finger at my chest.“You kept it away from me. You took matters into your own hands. Zeke, I don't want you to fight my battles for me.” She was crying now.My heart broke, and I tried to hug her. She slipped away, to the side. “Revert it.” She said.I blinked. “Pardon?”“Revert what you've done, Zeke. I don't appreciate it.”She was being unreasonable. Couldn't she see that she had a selfish inhumane man as a father? I knew she was softhearted, but she needed to be hard hearted at times.“I'm afraid I can't.” I said softly.“And why is that?” She retorted.“It's irreversible, Kitten. I can't do any

    Chapter Forty-Six ZekeMt Glacier was colder than usual, and I knew the Circle had purposefully done it so Mirah would freeze to death. Unfortunately for them, I came prepared.“Put this on,” I handed an amulet to Mirah whose face was already turning red from the cold.“Bloody fuckers,” I heard Natasha say. She was standing close to Qyle who was observing the surroundings.“They've placed traps around.” He scoffed, and I took a closer look around.True enough, hidden at strategic places were vampires bane, sprinkled on the white ground. It wasn't noticeable, and blended well into the icy ground.“Fuckers,” I said. If they thought some bluish substance was going to stop us from achieving our goals, they probably had no idea how powerful I was.I'd never thought of standing up against the Circle. After the king, they were the most powerful in the kingdom. They maintained order, and ensured that their choice of king was the best.I'd been elated when I'd been chosen to join them. All al

    Chapter Forty-Seven ZekeMy mansion soon came into view. Standing tall and proud, it was beautiful. Rhode drove through the large black gates, pulling over at the parking lot.A large fountain carved in form of two gigantic wolves stood right at the center of the large compound. Surrounding it was a beautiful garden. I got out of the car, wanting to get away from her as fast as I could. She was making me lose it. I ignored the servants greetings as I strolled leisurely into the mansion. Zemirah tailed me, and I spotted her hugging herself from the corner of my eyes.The look of fear in her eyes as I'd gripped her neck back in the car was etched in my mind. Good. I needed her to be afraid of me."We have a meeting with the council, Alpha. The others are already waiting." Rhode reported as he dangled the car keys in his hand.I grunted in response. "Cancel the meeting. I'm not in the mood." He didn't ask any question, and merely nodded, before hurrying away.I turned ba

    Chapter Forty-Eight MirahI felt numb the moment I came to. At once, I wondered why my bed was cold. Had I fallen asleep on the floor? But I didn't have any alcohol to drink the previous night. 'Maybe I had a drink with Father.'Why was I- My thoughts were short-lived as the memories from the previous day flashed across my mind. Its force was so overwhelming that I held my head in pain.That was right. I wasn't at the Emerald Wood pack anymore. I wasn't at my pack. I was now at the devil's pack. I felt the cold ground with my fingers, using it as a propeller to sit up. I had fallen asleep whilst crying, the previous night.My body ached, and I longed for a warm bath. I hadn't taken one since I'd retuned home from school.I didn't dwell on my thoughts though as the constipated feeling tugged at my mind yet again. I was in an enclosed dark space. I needed to get away. I needed to flee. The metallic click from the large door broke through my thoughts, and made

    Chapter Forty-Nine MirahOne moment he was kissing me like his life depended on it. The next moment he was looking at me with an indecipherable gaze.The change was so abrupt that my brain struggled to catch up. Heat pooled between my legs, and I couldn't help but shudder at his intense gaze at me.I hugged myself, and made to get out of the tub. Coming here was a mistake.Or was it? “I'll be in my room.” I managed to whisper, despite my messy mind.I barely made it out, before his gruff voice stopped me. “Did I say you could leave?” His voice was husky, but betraying no emotions.My heart raced furiously, and I slowly turned to face him. His eyes were so dark and piercing that my legs almost gave way. I struggled to find the perfect response. We'd been kissing, and he pushed me away. Did he expect me to stay?The thought had barely formed, when a bittersweet taste filled my mouth. I'd kissed my abductor. My enemy. And I let him-“I thought you wanted me to,” I

    Chapter Fifty MirahThe days passed by quickly, and soon it was already a month since I was forcefully abducted.I inhaled deeply, as I strolled through the garden one lovely afternoon. It'd become my daily routine, in an order. Sleep. Eat. Stroll through the garden.And it began all over again. I patted a purple hibiscus, and bent to inhale its scent. When I was younger, I forced Josh to help me plant a garden full of pretty flowers. The thought of him induced forlornness which I'd been trying to keep at bay. And the thought of a certain person.Zayn. I hadn't seen him for days. Especially after our breakfast in the garden, which hadn't ended well.“Thank you, Ameeyrah,” I said to the pretty-faced maid who accompanied me. She muttered something in Arabic, which I inwardly translated as ‘thank you,’ it didn't matter if I was wrong.I gripped the edge of my dress, kicking at the air, trying to be happy and ignore the fact that I was a prisoner.“A word with you, Miss Ka

    Chapter Fifty-One ZekeI stared down the window, my hands tucked in my pocket, different thoughts running through my mind.The door pushed open, and Amad walked in. “I heard there'd almost been a theft, last night?” He asked, as he came closer to me.“The allure of Floating shelves seemed to have attracted someone into my mansion.” I said, in reply. Floating shelves… That was the name of the art piece. I'd gotten it two months ago, from an auction.“A woman? So bold. So, what are you going to do to her?” He asked, carefully.I flashed him a brief glance, and turned back to the window. The scenery below, filled with lights, and vast space was beautiful. And they all belonged to me.“What do you think?” I retorted.“Well, it's hard to say. Your way of thinking is so different from ours.” And was he right.I simply chuckled, without giving a response. He was about to continue, when my ringing tone came off, from my laptop.“Get it.” I ordered, without moving an inch.Ho

    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
