Chapter 31
Eric and Crysta both walked near her and stopped. Looking around the place Crysta opened her arms widely, Lily was stunned seeing her mother initiating a hug in front of Eric.
Still, she didn’t hesitate went and hugged her. Crysta gave a long tight hug for her and Lily giggled feeling the love of her mother. She didn’t get tired of her mother’s hug, which she started getting every time they meet for these few days.
She enjoyed the warmth she got from her mother. After few long minutes she broke the hug though she doesn’t want to. Knowing Eric is near them, she released the hug and looked at her mother.
“Mo.. ahem.. I mean Crysta, what brings you here” she asked nervously not casting a look at Eric.
“I guess, one shouldn’t call their mother with their name like a third person” Eric said and for once she looked up and saw his face in shock, Eric gave a smirk at her.
Crysta patted her shoulder nodding he
Chapter 32 Seeing the person sitting on the bed, Crysta was confused. Her mind was even more confused when Lily ran towards him and hugging him with overflowing happiness. Seeing the enraged Eric and confused Crysta, Steve smiled and thought of greeting them first and he did as he thought “Hello Prince Eric, nice to meet you,” he said, Eric narrowed his eyes and studied the man who knew his identity before anyone could tell. “Long time no see, Crysta. You don’t look aged” he said and Lily was more stunned to hear the words that came out of Steve’s mouth. Crysta looked at him and blinked several times to digest the news and her eyes started watering in few minutes, seeing her cry Steve forwarded to comfort her. Crysta hugged him and cried while he patted her back in comforting her, throughout this Lily was frozen on the spot of not knowing what is happening. But Eric was like a predator trying to catch his prey, watched the different behaviour of Steve from day 1 till now. Breaki
Chapter 33 “Steve. What did you do to me. ahhh…. Man…. Sis? Sister? Is that you? How are you? Are you fine? Did that Robert harm you? I will kill that rascal. Where is he?” Waking up with the pain in his head and looking at his sister reminded Shane about her disappearance, he spoke with anger evident but only got a smack on the head from Lily as a response. “Ouch.. what’s that for?” he asked rubbing his head not knowing why he suddenly got a smack from his sister. “For always acting beyond your age.” Saying she hugged him tight with some happy tears in her eyes. “And this?” he asked smiling, “This is because I missed my brother a lot” she said without breaking her hug and Crysta who was standing near Eric saw the bonding of two kids of hers with a tear-filled eye. Eric saw how Crysta wants to join the family hug but was hesitating and he thought to help her out so he pushed her a little forward. Seeing that Steve smiled stepping along dragged her towards those siblings and clea
Chapter 34 “He is not Robert, and he will not hurt me like that jerk did” she yelled at her brother equally. Eric who was trying to explain him froze on the spot hearing her say that, his heart started beating frantically. His face softened hearing her say that, Shane who was furious failed to notice it. “Yes, he won’t hurt me, alright? He had a situation back then. He was cursed like that by the same witch who killed our father.” She said with her shrieking tone reducing to a whisper at the end and Shane became silent hearing that. “And he.. he already has someone waiting for him and we... we are not what you think and nothing will happen between us” she said in a low voice pinching her thighs not to reveal her emotions, Eric who was listening to her words found difficult to breathe and wanted to tell her immediately that no one was actually there but found himself not saying anything. Though she said he will not hurt her, but the fact proved himself that she was hurt by him alr
Chapter 35 The cave keeps echoing the grunts and some magic explosions that was happening inside it. Thankfully, there are no animals or any other species around for them to get scared. Inside and at the corner of the cave was a goat, and a naked body of a woman with their head ripped and thrown in another corner of the cave. The woman with her black hair mixed with greys left it untied and open at her back. She danced with something like a root in her one hand, blood was applied on her face with different patterns and all over her naked body. She was dancing like a drunkard before a stone which was drenched in blood, the blood stench was covered the entire cave. Whatever she was doing did not help her to achieve whatever she wanted to, resulting in her grunting in irritation. She was ready to sacrifice another life to achieve that but suddenly the air in the cave turned thick, bringing a little smile to creep on her face. A dark black smoke in the form of a dragon head appear
Chapter 36 They reached Eric’s office room, and Eric turned towards Drew who stood there with a happy smile. He reached to hug Eric but was stopped by him. Eric gave him a long stare and an obvious glare. “Dude, I missed you. Won’t you give your friend a hug” saying Drew pouted his lips. “What the f*ck did you pulled out there?” he yelled at him and Drew gave a puppy face at him. “Dude, it was just for fun. Why do you take it seriously. You know I always does that” he said with a pout. “You scared her, stood there naked and flirting with her. What the hell man?” he yelled again with his raging heart. He is having hard time of not hitting his friend thinking about the incident. He got so many reasons to fight with him. How he scared her, how he stood naked, how he called her beautiful in front of him, how he winked at him, how he blew a kiss. Think about all this his fist tightened and his veins started protruding. He gritted his teeth thinking about her blush. He wanted her t
Chapter 37 Lily was not in a good mood after she met Eric who looked indifferent towards her in the afternoon and decided to meet with him after the urge to clear the situation between them. She didn’t want him to feel bad about her and started walking towards Eric’s chamber to talk with him as she had planned. She felt guilty because of Shane’s fight with Eric. She was also amused at the fact of how well her little brother learned to fight. She wondered if he had indulged in any fights previously, she thought of talking with him about that but from last night till this evening. She couldn’t find him anywhere even Steve was missing, and she realized, Steve must have taken him somewhere to calm his raging and as well as wounded heart. She smiled at the thought of Steve helping them so far and protecting them. Her mind reminded her of the first encounter with Steve, when she was about 10years of age. Steve who looked like a teenager came to her rescue when a bunch of boys tried t
Chapter 38 Shane and Steve returned to the palace after their day spent well fishing and camping. Looking at them in the hallway, Lily slowly went back to her room. She doesn’t want them to know her thoughts and she prayed they don’t come and talk with her too. Just like she prayed they didn’t notice her presence and went back to their rooms respectively. But little did she know, her activities were already noticed by Steve. But he chose to pretend as if he doesn’t know her presence. Lily checked if they were inside the room and started going outside, but she was stopped by someone calling her name. She looked back to see her mother Crysta walking towards her with a smile, seeing her mother Lily hissed in frustration. “Lily, where were you headed child?” “Mom? I... I just thought to go for a walk” Lily stuttered in her words and hoped her mother didn’t notice it. “Oh.. ok, you can go for a walk after you had your dinner. I have prepared some food specially for you and your broth
Chapter 39 “Seriously, old man?” Steve looked at the dark never ending outer space and heard a tongue clicking sound. “Who are you calling old man?” “Obviously, it’s you” Steve said shrugging his shoulders, doing some flips in the air and a series of laughter echoed. “I guess, you need to go back to the former planet and no need to continue watching Adina and her family” once he heard that, he felt his heart skip a beat in fear. “Umm.. ha ha ha.. I was just kidding, My lord. I know you are more than handsome, though older than anyone and anything, you look so young and marvellous. Please don’t you do that, please…” he begged remembering the days in that planet. He immediately felt nauseated just by thinking it and pulled his shirt to check if he is still clean and smelled himself in assurance. Cleaning the mess of a planet that got destroyed from the result of those people’s greed, jealous, hatred to their loved ones, killing and raping innocent people and young people indulging
Chapter 86The wedding bells chimed merrily as Eric and Lily prepared to exchange vows in a ceremony fit for a fairy tale.As Lily walked down the aisle, she was accompanied by Steve and her brothers, Theo, and Shane.They couldn't resist cracking jokes and making faces to ease her nerves. Lily couldn't help but laugh, feeling grateful for their support.As Eric stood at the altar, his heart swelled with love and anticipation. When Lily finally reached him, he couldn't tear his eyes away from her radiant smile. "You look stunning, my love," he whispered, causing Lily to blush.With a twinkle in his eye, the officiant began the ceremony, and amidst the solemn vows and heartfelt promises, Eric couldn't resist sneaking a playful wink at Lily, earning a giggle from his bride.After exchanging rings and sealing their love with a kiss, Eric turned to his father, the king, and made a solemn promise."Father, I vow to take up the reign in two years' time, once Lily and I have had a chance to
Chapter 85“so, tell me. How did my naughty brother suddenly got his wings and where did he disappear after locking Draco in a pendant?” Lily asked with full amusement interlocking her hands with Eric.“so one day, I was sleeping on my bed and suddenly heard someone calling me and I opened my eyes and saw myself floating in the air in a dark place. You don’t believe me I could see all the planets. It was so big and our earth looked so cute. It looked like..”“OH, c’mon Shane, tell me what happened to you? ok so you seemed to be pulled into the space, next what? I don’t want the details about how planets looked” Lily said with annoyance building.Shane chuckled at his over excited sister,“ok, ok. So, I looked around and I heard someone calling me, the voice was majestic and authority filled. It asked me‘Shane, dude, wanna upgrade to angel status? Wings, halos, and whole lot of fun’ it was kind of tempting for me, so I asked‘sure, but do I still get to text during celestial meetings?
Chapter 84Eric held her waist and threw her on the air as she unleashed her hidden powers, the radiant light of her angelic heritage illuminating in that dark forest.A pair of wings formed at her back making her not to fall on the ground as she charged at the person in front of him, her hands with enormous power filled sword stabbed the heart of Draco.Caught off-guard, Draco staggered backward his eyes widening in disbelief. But before he could react, Lily screwed the sword deep inside his heart.Eric rushed to her side and held her trembling hand. Her eyes spilled some tears, sense of disappointment and betrayal filled tears spilled from Lily.Crysta felt the pain in the heart as she saw the man once she loved the most defeated by his own blood.Draco, looked at the girl in front of him and for once it projected the true proudness in his face. His body started to get ignited by the fire.Shane flew by his sister’s side and he brought a pendant out of his pocket and kept it down as
Chapter 83Crysta was not able to digest what she heard and was left in heart break from the revelations. Steve walked to her side and held her small figure.She looked weaker and more aged from what she heard. He felt sorry for the person. While Draco glared at him.“You have always stepped into my plan disrupting it. I can sense you are weak, I don’t know why and how. But that is none of my concern. But for the old times sake, I warn you to stay away, so you will not suffer.Let that snake, my wife and daughter to go with me.” he threatened Steve and looked at Eric.“while you people were busy fighting among yourselves, my army has surrounded you. if you want your men safe and sound, send Adina, Crysta and that snake to me” he spoke and everyone looked around and was stunned to see them surrounded by those creatures.“Adina, my child come to your daddy. I assure not to kill you, I can see how beautifully and powerfully you have grown. Daddy will not let it go waste. I assure you the
Chapter 82“Draco’s daughter?” Lily spoke with her eyes squinting in confusion looking at Steve and trembling Melinda.“yes dear, she is the daughter of Draco” he spoke and saw Melinda gripping Steve’s arms in fear. Melinda looked back at Lily with fear and guilt."Are you Draco's daughter?" she asked saw Melinda nod her head with a gulp. Lily clenched her teeth with anger exuding.“Lily, please calm down” Eric spoke making Lily to look at him with judging eyes.“so, you know that earlier and thought you could hide it away from me?” she spoke with certainty making him to sigh.“It is not simple as that to tell you, I thought of telling you..”“when? When we were killed by Draco?” she asked angrily.“Adina, dear. Please help me and your brother. And please stay away from that snake, she is a deceiver, she will kill us all along with her father” he cried making Lily to look at him with a loss of words.“Adina, No. I will not do that, to be exact, I am here to help you deal with that per
Chapter 81After taking a deep breath, they walked into the chamber and found the sacred book flying in the air with a glow. Lily hugged Eric in happiness as he embraced her proudly.Lily stepped forward with Eric, and the book as if it’s a living being it sensed the presence of someone it waited for long time.It directly flew near Lily and fall on her hands. She looked at the book with overwhelming happiness. The book and she started glowing, Eric who was holding her felt the heat.His body felt something odd in himself, as if he was given some healthy dosages. Suddenly they were lifted off the ground with an aura surrounding themselves.They both closed their eyes, The birthmark behind Lily's ear began to glow like gold. Even Eric's birthmark began to glow on his back.After few minutes their foot touched the ground. They opened their eyes and looked at each other feeling the serenity and huge power inside them.Holding the book, they walked back to where their people were waiting.
Chapter 80As the queen had works to be done regarding the death of Demona, she hurried back to the palace leaving the others to start their hunt for the sacred book.Lily, Eric, Crysta, Melinda and Zion and all the warriors stood with their mouths hung open looking at the mountain and the waterfalls.While Steve was on his alert mode as his senses heightened and his mind indicated something is going to happen.Throwing the rope on the branch of a tree near the waterfalls of the mountain, they started climbing one by one.Steve even tried to spread his wings to fly to the top, but he felt weak and wasn’t able to spread his wings.Melinda looked at him with worries knowing his inner struggle of losing his powers. She squeezed his hands,“I am alright. Just let’s climb” he said looking into her worried eyes.“I.. I am sorry. If you want you can reject me” she said gulping her spit down her throat. He flicked her forehead,“I have told you many times that I am not going to do that. Being
Chapter 79Sitting around the campfire and closing her eyes Melinda placed her head on the chest of Steve. She doesn’t want to think about the death of the woman who birthed her.But the thought, even on the verge of death, Demona’s selfish desire for power overshadowed any mother love.Not once did she show affection, leaving a profound sadness and weakness in Melinda’s heart, realizing she was never truly loved.Steve embraced her and figuring she needed him by her side. He rubbed her back soothingly, the ritual already drank her energy and the death of that woman exhausted her mind and body.Now that Eric knows why Lily is called queen by the tribes put a proud smile on his face, he caressed her head lovingly and proudly for his brave queen.But Lily was squinting her eyes looking at the two people in front of her. Although her mind said it could be out of pity. Steve is pampering her but the eyes he is having towards Melinda made her to doubt.Slapping Eric’s hands, she looked bac
Chapter 78 “Demonaaaa” she shouted with vengeance filled, the evil witch stopped on her fight turning back and saw half human and half snake form of Lily and trembled suddenly. But she didn’t let it out, she is late… she is too late. ‘So, the ritual they had was her to gain powers? And who was that purple snake’ She thought to herself and was suddenly got scared. Nothing scared her entire life, but Lily’s current state is scaring her. Melinda seeing Lily’s appearance, she slithered near her and transformed into her hybrid form too. Upon seeing her transformation, Demona’s eyes widened in disbelief. The one she thought had no powers was majestically standing before her with half human and half snake body. They both slithered fast to Demona’s side, Lily grabbed Demona’s throat single handedly and lifted her above the ground surface. She noticed the same black beaded bracelet on her hands and chuckled evilly. She grabbed the bracelet and threw it at the ground. It smashed
