“Is there something you want to tell me?” Justin asked“Not really. Why?” Damian said“One, you’ve been really tensed. Two, you are a very awful liar. You blink excessively when you’re lying. So what’s wrong?” Justin asked again“I don’t blink excessively when I am lying! That is just something you came up with!” Damian said“And that is the third one. You always try to divert from the main topic. What’s wrong Damian? You know where your father is, don’t you?” Justin said“Maybe I do. I met him earlier today at the old house I talked earlier. He said he was going to answer all my questions but on one condition, I read my mother’s diary” Damian said “Yeah right, as I expected. Your father is never straight with his answers. He always has one condition or the other. Why would you read your mother’s diary?” Justin asked him“I don’t know but he asked me to do it” Damian said“And you are planning on doing that?” Justin asked, looking at him. “C’mon! You can’t be serious right no
He couldn’t understand his father would want his mother out of the way. He felt a hand on his shoulder“Are you ready?” His sister asked him“Well, I have to do it either ways” he said as he headed out to the crowd. He looked at them and he could see fear in their eyes. Having to tag his father as a terrorist and in his killer was not something he ever thought he would do in his entire life but he was left with no choice. He wasn’t even his biological father. “Good day. This past few days have been very sad for everyone of us. We have lost a mother, a friend, a ruler and our queen. I know things are looking and feeling really dark for us now but I want to ask us to be strong. By now, some us already know who the killer is. He was given an opportunity to make some good of himself. He was lived, cared for and even catered for. He was offered the best things of life and still, he turned on his own helper, biting the hand that fed him. The person I am talking about is Phillip, my fathe
He picked up the note and continued front where he left off. It was now or never“Long before I met your father, I was engaged to another. I loved him with every being in my body. There was no love that was compared to what I had for him and what he had for me. He was my mate and we were supposed to get married and live happily ever after but life happened. He was a vampire too and he was your father. We made love and you were born but before you were born, something happened. I didn’t know that I was even pregnant with you when it happened. Phillip came to meet me and confessed his love to me but I wasn’t interested in being with him. I politely turned him down and said I was with someone else but Phillip wasn’t taking no for an answer. When he found out about your real father, he killed him and made it look like it was an accident” Damian dropped the note as fresh tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn’t hold in the hatred he had for someone that was supposed to be his father. Ther
He saw his mother fade slowly and he opened his eyes. He saw someone that looked like Annabelle but his vision was so blurry. He tried to blink to make it better but he found out that he couldn’t “Anna?” He called outThe blurry figure stopped and looked back at him. He was expecting her to walk to him but she didn’t. He moved close to her and found out that she was sinking. He started to run towards her but it felt like she was moving farther from him. She kept sinking into the ground until she was finally gone. “Damian! Damian!! Damian!!!” He blinked back to reality. He groaned softly. He looked up and saw his best friend and his sister. He looked around and it was dark already. He could swear that he has just closed his eyes. How had the day gone by so fast? He met his best friend’s stare“Are you okay? You looked like you were almost scared to death” he said“I am. What is going on?” Damian asked “Your father, he called. He said he was going to speak to only you and he would
She woke up and opened her eyes. She looked around. The chains on her wrists were still there and nothing had changed. She looked down at her stomach and her eyes glowed in anger“What did you do?” She asked him“I removed the bastard child for you, you are very much welcome. The little bastard was still alive by the time I removed it. I guess I was wrong after all but I buried it still!” He said“You are crazy! I will kill you!”“I know you want to. You have the look of the devil himself in your eyes but you can’t kill me. I wish you could but you can’t even get out of those chains, how do you want to kill me? You are going to die here and I know that because your boyfriend is stupid, too stupid to find you and your brother? Well, I can say the same for him!”She sat there and growled at him, hoping he was wrong. She has been his prisoner for so long that she had lost count of the days. She hadn’t seen the sun or the moon in days, maybe weeks. She looked at her wrist and saw that
Alex sped off to catch up with Damian and he eventually found him, sitting by the road. He could see how worried he was, maybe scared “A penny for your thoughts?” Alex said, tossing a penny in the air“I don’t think you’re supposed to give me a penny for my thoughts. It is just a figure of speech” Damian said to him“Whatever. Just tell me what’s in your head and take the penny. You don’t know how and when you would need it” Alex said, handing it over to himHe sighed and he collected it from him. He looked at it and clenched his fist around the penny“What if all of this is just one sick game? Maybe Anna did escape but how long has she escaped? Hours? What of my father caught up with her first? What if he’s just toying with us like he has always done? What if she didn’t even escape and he made it look like she did. He is always one step ahead of us and I don’t even know how he does it”“Look, we already know that your father has someone in the inside. Maybe tow people or even a w
“The last option is the deadliest” she said “I don’t want to hear it. We would find another way” Damian said, turning to leave the room“Listen to her! She is the only one providing solutions for Anna so let’s listen to what she has to day” Alex said“Alright, fine! Let’s waste our time while Anna is in pain. Let’s talk about all the things we can and can’t do!” Damian said, yelling at nobody in particular “You are upset, we get it, we all get it. We are all upset. We have our different reasons to be upset but she spent hours digging up ways just so Anna can get better. We get that you care about her but we all care about her! Hell, she is my sister, the only family I have left. I want her back more than anything. I want her fine more than I want to be fine but I can’t come up with solutions right now because I have none. Sally has some. Let’s listen to her and if you can’t do that, take a walk!” Alex yelled back “You both need to take a walk. Arielle and I can handle the rest
She looked at him with disgust written all over her face. He smiled at her “You don’t have to like my methods, it is for the greater good of everybody. I have to do somethings that I don’t like too and I have to live with the consequences. I am not going to kill Annabelle” he said to her“Then what do you want with Annabelle? She is innocent. She was just in the wrong place at the totally wrong period of time. Why are you so attached to her?” Isabelle asked“That is none of your business. All I want you to do is find me a way to get into the house and get out unharmed. I will handle the rest myself!” he said to her “If you harm my mother, I would ruin all your plans and tell Damian where you are!” she said to him “And then you would go to prison. I don’t think that is a wise decision to take” he said to her “I really don’t care where I end up. If you hurt my mother, I will ruin you” she said She walked out of the room and headed to her car. She looked around before getting i
She groaned and opened her eyes. She found herself in a room filled with light. She groaned and slapped her forehead with her palm. What was she doing here? She needed to wake up. Damian needed her. He couldn’t hold Phillip off for so long. She walked around, looking for a way to go back but she knew that there was no way until she saw who drew her soul here so she decided to take a few deep breaths and then she turned around “Always impatient. I thought you would have dropped that habit by now” her mother said to her“No, mom! I can’t be here! I need to go back now. Damian, Alex, they need me! Phillip would kill them all if I don’t return! I can’t let that happen!” She wait to her mom“If you go back out there, you would die again! Phillip can’t be stopped my little wolf” she said “I know but I don’t care! It is my life or the entire Cordina! For so long, I hid in the dark. I thought that if I didn’t use my abilities, I would be a normal person, I would lead a normal life but I
“About that favor you asked for” Alex said to her“Yeah?” She said back “Why don’t you do it yourself? I mean, he took a lot from me too and that was probably why I was so hurt by the news of you working with him but I understand that you didn’t have a choice but right now, I am giving you a choice. You are a part of this family too and I don’t care what anybody thinks. You are fighting with me today, by my side because that is where I want you, that is where I would always want you so meet me in the study in five minutes because we would be heading out together” Alex said to herShe turned around and ran to him before jumping on him and kissing him in the process. He smiled at her and looked at her. “I know it is probably a wrong time for this but I am sorry I did all of that to you. I was avoiding my feelings and I didn’t want my emotions to cloud my judgement. I hope that you can forgive me and once all of this is over, you can give me the chance to make it up to you and you do
"You have to let your girlfriend go. How would you throw her in a prison just because of her past? Why would you do that? I have been dying to talk about this with you and you might probably not know it yet but I don’t see a reason to why you should have done something like that to your own girlfriend because of a mistake she made in her past!” Annabelle said to him“Her past? She was working with the man that took your life. You could have died permanently!” He said to her “She was! She stopped when she met you. She came in here and told me everything the day you threw her in prison. She was because she was left with no choice!” Anna said in Beth’s defense “There is always a choice! There is always another choice! I don’t care what you say or think, there is always another choice, another way!” he said to her “Anna, your brother is right” Damian said to her and she felt her eyes glow“What choice did she have? It was either she did whatever Phillip wanted or she lost her brot
“What is your problem? I understand that you don’t want me to find Annabelle but why are you so fixed on me giving up on her? Why do you want her here so bad? I know she wouldn’t give you her life without me and I am going to find her whether you like it or not but what is in it for you? What happens to you when I give up?” Damian asked him“I get to live. My life is in her death” he said to him, looking him straight in the eyes“I am sorry to announce to you that you are going to be gone really soon because I would not leave here until I have found her. If I don’t find her, I wouldn’t leave and then we can spend all of eternity together, looking at our faces till we get bored and tired of each other. I am ready to spend all of eternity here with you. I guess we are going to be nice housemates!” Damian said to him before he sped through the clubHe didn’t find her there either so he dropped on his knees, thinking of any other place she could be at. He decide to check her favorite th
Damian nodded at her before going through the door and he woke up. He looked at his phone and saw that he had only been out for three hours. He walked up to Anna’s room and saw that it was empty. She was dressed in a black dress and he touched her face, not understanding why they would want to bury her immediately. He heard a knock on the door frame and he turned around. He saw Alex dressed in black and he was in a suit “What is going on?” Damian asked him“As the surviving family of the deceased, I can decide when, how and where to bury her and I want to bury her immediately so you don’t do something stupid. She would be burnt in the river so that her soul may find peace” Alex said“You will do no such thing until I have tried every way to get her back! I saw my mom” he said“You saw your mom?” Alex scoffed“I know this is going to sound crazy but Anna is still alive and I need your help to get her back. I went to my mom’s room to cry my eyes out and I slept off. I saw my mom in
“What was that about?” Grace asked as she landed on her feet“I don’t know but I am about to find out. How much changed while I was out?” Damian asked her“I can’t say. Everybody keeps showing a different apart of themselves each day and I don’t know if there would be a worthy person to rule Cordina after everything is over” Grace said to him as she walked on. Damian sighed and thought about what she just said. They were trying to stop Phillip but how different were they from him now? They killed just because they felt they felt it was necessary. They killed without consideration and the one person who had always kept him in check was now the one leading the killing spree. It just didn’t sit right with him. He headed up to Anna’s room and he saw Alex on her bed side, holding her hand with tears rolling down his eyes“What is going on?” He turned as he looked as Sally“She is gone. There was nothing I could do about it” Sally saidHe walked up to her and started crying. He looked a
“What are you doing?” Sally asked her “Getting venom, what on earth does it look like?” She said to them “You are killing him! I can feel it!” Justin said “I have to do what needs to be done!” “What do you mean by that? You have to stop now!” Raphael said “Damian knew what he was getting to when he asked me to do this. He knew that there was a likelihood that he might not survive the process because he is still weak but Anna doesn’t have time and he made me promise not to stop for any reason. So if you can stop asking me questions for a second and let me concentrate then maybe I can save both his life and Anna’s!” She said to them “What did you do to Alex?” Sally asked her“I snapped his neck. It was the only way!” when said She dropped her hands and the venom was still floating in the air. She moved it with her magic and cut Anna’s wrist open before letting the venom seep into her bloodstream. She looked at her and Damian groaned. He moaned softly and Sally ran to him b
“I slept off? That’s crazy. I guess we had a hard time yesterday” Alex said “We definitely had a rough day yesterday. How are you and how was your rest?” Grace asked“Doesn’t matter. What is the update?” Alex asked her“Damian is awake, back on his feet. Phillip didn’t drain him dry so the remaining energy was used to recuperate and regenerate his strength. He should be back at full strength by noon but there is a bad news” Grace said “There always has to be a bad news. What is it?” Alex asked “It is your sister. She needs all the attention she can possibly get because I don’t think she would last the next seven days of we don’t do something about it” Grace said “Where is Damian?” Alex asked her“He still thinks that there is another way to go about this. He thinks that his venom is not the only way. He doesn’t want to risk it” Grace said “He must be out of his mind! Where the hell he is?” he asked her “The study” she said to himHe got up and threw his robe around his
“Go ahead, try to kill me! You have tried before so try again but remember that the harder you try, the longer you wait and the longer you wait, the longer you get starved of the power that you need. Damian is not on the table but I am! I can give you the power you want. You want an hybrid so feed on me!” Alex said to himPhillip smiled and looked at him.“I am listening” he said “I would give you the power you need. I would make sure that Damian and Anna never come for my body so you have the endless supply of power that you want but I want something in return” Alex said to him “What do you want?” Phillip said“I want you to leave Anna, Damian and the whole of Cordina alone and I want you to hand over Arielle to the authorities of Cordina!” Alex said to him“What do you want with Arielle?” he asked“She deserves to die for her betrayal. If she can betray me then she can betray you too. Besides, you want an endless supply of power. What do you say?” Alex said to him“Deal” Phi
