Chapter Thirty-One

Zeke

“Checkmate,” Qyle said, placing down his chess piece on the board with a look of triumph on his face.

I growled in anger or frustration - I didn't know which.

“You just got lucky.” That was true. I'd been distracted all through the game.

“Say what you want. I won, this time.” He shrugged. I didn't bother arguing with him.

“Fuck,” I grunted, and leaned back on the chair.

“Twenty-five,” Qyle said.

I lifted a brow. “Excuse me?”

“That's the twenty-fifth time you cursed, tonight.” He studied me closely. “Are you getting worked up, over some old vampires who don't mind if you lick their boots clean?”

I gagged at the image. But that wasn't it. I'd returned to Vermont days ago to find Mirah avoiding me. Not even a word. She avoided me as she would a stranger.

“Fuck you,” I raised a finger at him.

He brought out his phone. “Sorry, as much as you're hot and seductive, you're not my type.”

I massaged my temple, a feeling that I hadn't felt over the years

    Chapter Thirty-Two. MirahAnger.Not at anyone, but at myself.I'd allowed these. Every single thing that's happened. From my father, to Zeke. If I'd been strong-willed, my father wouldn't have tried to force me into marrying Jayden.Now that I've finally ended things with Zeke, I expected to feel-Well, I didn't know what I was expecting to feel. But drowning myself in some shots of alcohol, locking myself in, and burying myself in my bed sheets wasn't it.I didn't need to see my reflection in the mirror, to know that I had dark circles. I hadn't eaten in days, and I felt so weak.“If you don't open the door this instant, I'll have to pull it down!” Nessa's yell outside my door made me wince.From experience, I knew she was really going to follow through with her threat. Cursing as much as my strength allowed me, I slowly clambered down the bed.“Sweet Lord!” Nessa's eyes widened dramatically, when I opened the door.“What?” I groaned. Surely, I didn't look so bad, di

    Chapter Thirty-Three. Mirah“Breathe, Princess,” That voice. I suddenly felt like closing my eyes, and allowing myself to be lulled by such a charming voice.I wondered who owned it.I shivered as the young man behind me caressed the insides of my wrist. Suddenly brought back to reality, I glanced around.Raymond was looking at us, with a murderous expression. “Wha's the meaning of this, Mirabella? Are you trying to set me up?” He hissed, anger flashing in his eyes.I almost laughed. “Set you up? You're the one who tried to take advantage of me.” I breathed harshly.A hand traced the small of my back, and I shivered, leaning into his touch. I couldn't explain what I was feeling at that moment. “Interesting. He tried to take advantage of you, hm?” The guy said in a mesmerizing voice, and I forced myself to swallow.That fucking intoxicating cologne of his, wouldn't let me think straight.“You're distracting me, Princess,” I heard the voice again.Only that I realize

    Chapter Thirty-Four Zeke“Fuck,” Qyle muttered, ruffling his hand through his hair. It was the most serious I had seen him. If the situation were any different, I'd have teased him.“Who do you think is behind it?” He added, looking at me contemplatively.“I'd be fucked if I knew.” I hated this. Hated the fact that the situation was spiraling out of control. And there was nothing I could do about it.The deaths at Weasels were becoming more and more serious. I knew because I went there last night. And I was being truthful if I said I hated what I saw.“Do you think a rogue is behind it?” He asked me.I didn't miss a beat. “The nature of their wounds before their death is similar to that of a rogue's. But we all know that rogues can't perform spells. Or mask their trails. And I think-” I trailed off, and looked at him, knowing he'd understand.“You think the creature you met in that alley is tied to all of these.” He finished off for me.“I hate it that my father isn

    Chapter Thirty-Five. MirahMy head was aching so bad that I could barely keep my eyes open. The noise at Barcon only served to increase it.“The club section, please?” I heard a gruff familiar voice say. I raised my head abruptly to see Qyle looking down at me, with a bored look. There was no way I couldn't recognize that cheek mole. My gaze moved past him to another person. Against my wish, butterflies danced in my belly. But both of them weren't alone. “Hello, can you make it quick?” A pretty lady said, her eyes twinkling. Jealousy burned in my chest, as I wondered what her relationship with Zeke was. He was probably having sex with her. I stifled a low growl, and put on my best smile before I'd be sacked from work, for bad customer service.“The right-wing, please. Do enjoy your time at Barcon.” Zeke wasn't looking at me. He was looking at the lady, and they were saying something I couldn't understand. His gaze wouldn't even meet mine. I tried to keep off how

    Chapter Thirty-Six Zeke“This is weird,” Natasha said, her face setting in a prim frown. Mirah sat by her side, stealing furtive glances at me when she thought I wasn't looking. Qyle had gone to settle some urgent matter which came up.As hard as it was, I'd been trying to avoid Mirah's gaze all night. Doing so would be plunging myself into torture. Her scent was enough, without adding to it.“Everything is weird.” I exhaled, and leaned back on the couch.We were back at my apartment, and I'd been surprised when Mirah had agreed to come along.“Maybe it had something to do with the rogue-brids?” Natasha suggested, and my eyes darkened.“That can't be possible. They've gone extinct for years now.” I frowned as I countered her words. This powerless feeling; I hated it.“Why exactly am I here?” Mirah finally asked after a while. I could see the dark circles beneath her eyes, even though she was putting on makeup.Natasha turned to her. “We believe you're in

    Chapter Thirty-Seven MirahI woke up slowly, and felt the bed for Zeke. “Awake, Princess?” A voice that wasn't Zeke's, said. My grogginess vanished as I turned towards where it came from.“Who are you?” I asked the white-haired young man who was sitting on the edge of the bed. His brown eyes stared down at me in a way that made me want to do all his bidding.Instead of giving a response to my question, he chuckled.“Relax, I won't hurt you.” He leaned his hand, and pushed away a lock of my hair which had slipped down. I flinched at his touch and that served to amuse him.I looked around warily. The room was very much like Zeke's bedroom, where we had sex last night. At the thought, my cheeks colored crimson.“He hasn't marked you, has he?” The guy's amused voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I jerked my head towards him, and pushed against the headboard. I was aware that I was pretty much naked beneath the black duvet.“I can't answer any of your questions if you

    Chapter Thirty-Eight MirahOur family's residence was just as I remembered it. Completely devoid of warmth.Guards littered every corner as always, and the servants all stood in a straight file in the large living room. I felt Zeke's hands hold my wrists reassuringly, reminding me that I wasn't alone.“You're here,” my mother's smile froze on her lips, when her gaze darted towards a cold-faced Zeke.She didn't get to speak, when my father came inside. Alongside Kathryn.Words choked in my throat, and a disbelieving look made its way up my face.“What's the meaning of all these?” I asked in a cracked voice.My father ignored me, his focus on Zeke. “And who's this person?”“Someone you'd regret crossing.” Zeke said, and in spite of myself, chills ran down my spine. My father's face darkened, but before he could say a word, I stepped forward taking a protective stance before Zeke.“Don't move.” I said.Pausing more because of surprise, than my words, my parents and

I was in my room, and he was leaning across the wall just a few meters away from me.“There's no time, Princess.” The lines on his face deepened.I swallowed. “Time for what?”Unlike the last time, he was fully clad in a black shirt and equally black trouser. He pushed off the walls at my words, and came closer to where I was sitting on the bed.“Convince Zeke to take you to Weasels.” His hand brushed against my forehead, and I closed my eyes, suddenly losing my sense of focus.“W-why should -” I couldn't think straight, and it had to be his fault. He was doing something to me.He finally smiled, and I thought about how goodlooking he was. “You, my Princess will do all my bidding. 'Cause that's what you're meant to do. Isn't that right?” His breath fanned my face.I found myself nodding to his words.“Good girl.

    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
