Chapter Twenty.

Mirah

His anger from earlier on hadn't simmered down. From the corner of my eye, I saw his hold on the steering wheel tighten.

“Please, Mirah,” He begged in a voice that was a far-cry from the Zeke I knew. For a moment my heart went out to him.

But the image of him holding Darcel, flashed through my mind.

“I don't want to exchange words with you, Prince Ezekiel. If you can't drive, we can switch places.” I avoided his gaze.

A look at him would be all it'd take to crash the fragile front I was putting on. The calm voice I was using to speak. My rein on my emotions.

Everything.

If I hadn't realized it before, I did now. This man had hurt me. Made me cry.

But Lord help me, because I knew I loved him. Because I knew despite my cold attitude, if he sincerely apologized, I was willing to overlook the fact that he had a fiancèe.

That realization alone, sent chills down my spine.

“I want to take you somewhere.” He looked at me, waiting for my consent. Emot

    Chapter Twenty-one. Mirah“Scotch on the rocks,” the handsome curly haired boy with braces said, as he flashed me what had to be a seductive smile.I ignored him, and turned to the bar stand. “Scotch on the rocks, coming right up.” By the time I placed a glass before him again, his earlier enthusiasm had died down. He merely grabbed it, and moved to a table, where his friends were waiting. They were obviously schoolboys, and judging from their boyish looks- had to be 18 or so.I massaged my temple. Barcon was unusually full today, very unlike every other Thursday evening. I looked forward to getting a good sleep, and if I could stay up- a girl's night with Nessa.It was already two weeks since I was rescued from Jayden, and surprisingly, he hadn't disturbed me since then. Neither had Zeke. Nessa had been so happy when I returned, and had jokingly called me ’The disappearing Princess.’After many idle days at home, and the prompting of my very empty bank account, I

    Chapter Twenty-Two ZekeSteam rolled off my body as I stepped out of the bathroom.The doorbell rang out at that moment, and I groaned. There was only one person who knew my current address, and who'd call on me at this time of the night. My window was open, close to the patio's door.I donned on a robe, and went over to open the door.“Don't you have a home?” I grunted, as Qyle pushed past me into the room.“Do you need a reminder as to whose house this is?” He drawled, pulling off his suit, and throwing it over the couch.I closed the door without a response, and came over to join him. He crossed his legs, and pulled out his phone. He dialed a number, and listened to the person from the other end. “Keep on monitoring. Hmm.” He hung up.“What's that?” I asked, snapping my fingers absentmindedly.“Nothing important.'' He shifted on his seat, and that made my brow arch. Qyle never got uneasy for just 'nothing unimportant.'"I want the penthouse.” I relaxed on my s

    Chapter Twenty-three Mirah“What about this color?” Nessa held up her phone at me, and with barely a glance at it, I grunted in response.Takeout boxes littered the floor, as we slouched on the floor. The perfect weekend.Nessa was checking photos of cats online, for a suitable one she'd buy. And though I didn't hate cats, I just wasn't into pets.I came across a photo of a hot guy on Instagram. “Nessa, I think it's high time I give dating a chance. I mean, take a look at this guy!” I gave a girly shriek."Mirah, you have to see this-” I continued anyway. “It can't be hotter, than this guy.” I double tapped on the love reaction, pushing back a drool.“Mirah-” Her curt tone made me look up. My heart skipped a beat. “What-” my words trailed off, as she handed me her phone quietly.The news headline sent my heart racing. I looked up at her, and back at the phone. “This-”Her face gave way to a pitiful look. And no matter how many times I glanced at the phone, the headlin

Not when our relationship was estranged, and more especially, when she was drunk.She made a little sound and shifted, while I groaned. Her supple ass was directly on my erection, separated by my trousers, and her purple tight gown.Inside the car suddenly felt hot and stuffy, and all I could perceive was her scent. Sandalwood and lilies.Tristan Estate came into sight forty minutes later. Unlike other days, I drove through the gates slowly, and pulled the car to a stop, at the parking lot.Careful not to wake her up, I got out of the car, and approached the entrance. The guard at the door simply nodded at me, and moved past.After d

He was everywhere, and I saw him almost every time.“He likes you,” Nessa said one morning, while munching on her box of Oreos and working on her newest design.“Well, I don't like him.” I retorted.‘Lies, Mirah,’ my inner voice argued. I knew if circumstances were any different; with Zeke as a normal person, I would date him without hesitation.“Why don't you accompany me to the gala, as my plus one?” Nessa asked, after a while.I raised a brow. “A public event? No, please. Not with the scandal on ground.” I turned down her offer.“More the reason you should come with me.” Nessa argued.“Hm.” I could see the point she was trying to make. Appearing at a public event after eloping from my wedding, and while my father's company was on the verge of bankruptcy, was telling the public that there was nothing wrong. But I wasn't ready.“You can find someone else to be your plus one.” I wave

He crossed his arms, his gaze alternating between me and Zeke.“You,” Zeke muttered. I nudged his arm, in an attempt to remind him that we were in a public place. Jayden smacked his lips loudly. “We meet again. I didn't think you had it in you to abduct my fiancèe.” His voice went a notch higher, and my face darkened.I could see what he was trying to do. I turned to see other guests staring at us, and whispering in hushed voices. Nessa came over at that moment.“What nonsense are you spouting, Mr Jayden?” She stood beside me protectively. Qyle stood a few meters away, an amused look on his face.“What nonsense?” He repeated. “Are you in cohort with him?” He continued blabbing, gesturing at Zeke. The whispers grew louder. My lips parted to speak, but Zeke spoke first.“You should leave while I'm in a good mood.” He warned.Jayden didn't

That had to be the 47th time I was watching Home Alone, yet each time felt like new.“Is there something to like about this particular movie?” He asked, his disinterest clearly showing. “For kids.” He added.I pushed off his chest, and glowered at him. “I'm going to tolerate every disrespect, but if you insult my favorite movie one more time, get ready to bid your balls goodbye.”He chuckled, raising both hands in mock surrender. “Sorry,” he mouthed.I harrumphed and took my place again, while stifling a smile. The past few weeks had been a blur of dates, sex, work, and more sex.Whenever I wasn't at Barcon, I was with Zeke, having the time of

It left a feathery feeling around my heart, making me want to hug her and never let her go.“Have you eaten?” She asked over the phone.“Just a glass of blood.” I replied, swinging my leg over the other. I could picture her scowling, her lips curving into a cute pout.“I'll order takeout. It'll be delivered soon.” She moved the phone away from her ear, and I heard her clicking.“Done, I ordered your favorite.” She said.“Mm, will you come over?” I'd prefer to eat her out.“Nah, we are having a ladies night.” She said something to Nessa who was apparently in the background.“Oh,” a disappointed look made its way over my face. Spending time away from her, clawed something painful into my chest.“I'll make it up to you.” She promised.Even though their ‘ladies night,’ was a few doors away from mine, I knew better than to intercep

    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

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.

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
