Lily averted her gaze from Mark after saying those words. An awkward silence occurred between the two. Mark was looking at Lily while Lily had lowered her eyes. “Are you not going to ask anymore questions?” Mark asked thus breaking the ice.
“I am asking,” Lily asserted. “I daily used to go there at that place thinking I might see you but I never until that day. So, for 6 years you were in Velrenia?” Lily questioned him.
“No, I was in the Netherlands for a work,” Mark replied. Lily gave a nod.
Lily scratched her forehead. “I am not able to ask anymore questions. My brain has many questions but I am forgetting them,” Lily proclaimed. Mark smiled.
“It is fine. You can ask anytime. You must be tired. Go to the bed,” Mark told Lily.
“You shall leave as well,” Lily looked at Mark saying this but he refused. “I might stay here as you are in Velrenia. I ca
The untidied hair of Lily were all over her face while her both palms were on her cheeks. “How could it be a dream?” Lily muttered and hit her legs against the mattress. The maid who was standing beside the bed was confused seeing Lily’s reactions.“Milady, is everything alright? You are in the same position for ten minutes,” the maid stated.Lily turned her head to look at her. “Why on earth is this a dream? It felt so real. But when did I fell asleep? I am unable to remember anything,” Lily muttered.The maid could not understand a word of Lily. “Milady, please get ready. You have to meet the King,” the maid asserted.Lily was shocked to hear that. “K-king? Do you guys have a King here? Why he wants to meet me?” Lily questioned the maid.“Milady, I do not know. I was informed to wake you up and help you in getting ready for the assembly house,” the maid replied. Her eyes were lowered out of respect. Lily got down the bed
Once Lily was taken away from the Assembly House, Mark turned to King Oliver. “There is no need to sign this pact. I will take the punishment for breaking the rule. You don’t need to force her for this.” Mark looked at Evander who was not pleased by this at all.“Your majesty, signing the pact is the most reliable thing from the two side. If anyone of them breaks the pact then its immediate affect will be seen and that would be much more better than assurance to not break the rules,” Evander put forwarded his point.“A Devil if makes a wrong promise then he is burnt alive in Hell. I will not let you down, your majesty. I promise that Miss Evan will not tell anyone about our existence. Just don’t force her to sign the pact. I also request you to increase the severity of my punishment,” Mark told King Oliver with an affirmed tone.Lucian was smiling seeing all this. “It seems you also love Miss Evan,” Lucian intervened as he stood up the chair.Evander looked a
Mark took his hand back and turned his head towards the other side to pick the bell. Lily was looking at Mark and leaned closer to kiss his cheek when at the right moment Mark turned back. Lily’s lips were landed on Mark’s lips.Lily’s eyes grew big and she immediately leaned back. “S-sorry, I did not mean to do that. I wanted to peck your cheek n-not this,” Lily stated in an instant and rightly shut her eyes.“What was that? My mind for the first time went blank when she kissed me. Although it was for a short moment but it felt very strange,” Mark thought and looked at Lily who was lightly hitting her lips with her palm for kissing Mark.“It was my first kiss. How could I kiss him? Oh no, even if it was first I did not get enough taste of the first kiss. I destroyed it,” Lily internally told herself and continued hitting her lips when her wrist was grabbed by Mark and the next second she was pulled closer by Mark.Everything was happening so fast that Lily d
“That’s not possible,” Mark asserted.“Why?” Lily with an inquisitiveness asked.“I do not love you,” Mark stated which shut off Lily. She averted her gaze and cursed herself internally for asking for that.“Even if I will Mark you that would be of no effect. I to be in love with you for that,” Mark proclaimed. Lily turned back her to Mark and gave a nod. But she was curious to ask something.“You said to select your mate you need to Mark her. Then, if Serena and you would be together then you would have marked her. It means you love her?” Lily questioned Mark.Mark peered into Lily’s eyes and after staring for a while he spoke, “No, I never loved her. I realized this lately. Even if I had marked her then, it would not have been of no use unless I had fallen in love with her after marriage.” Lily understood and smiled.“What if I will be marked by
“I have something to talk with Tom Wilson, till then you can enjoy with Spirit,” Mark told Lily who agreed to him. Mark walked away and while Lily continued to stroke Spirit.Tom, who was checking the hay for horses in the stable, seeing Mark turned to him. Mark went near him and asked how he was going. “Great! But, I am curious what a human is doing here?” Tom curiously questioned Mark.“She can see Devils in their invisible form. That’s why she is called here,” Mark replied. “I want to ask a favor from you,” Mark asserted.“Yes, sure. Ask,” Tom permitted Mark who then narrated Tom his request. Tom told Mark not to worry about that as he would take care about that. They started walking out of the stable and saw Lily was playing with Spirit.“The lady was earlier afraid of him. Looks like she befriended him,” Tom asserted.“Hmm,” Mark hummed as she saw Lily had rested her face on Spirit’s which he was liking. “
Lily felt cold as the cool breeze hit her entire body. She turned and snuggled closer to Mark whose sleep broke as Lily’s one hand over his arm. As he gradually opened his eyes, he found Lily was clinging to him as her face was buried in his chest.“This woman has the ability to make me sleep anywhere, anytime, “ Mark thought when he saw the movement in Lily’s eyes as if she was going to wake up. Immediately, he shut his eyes. Why was he shutting his eyes? He did not do any crime but then why?Lily gradually opened her eyes and found she was so closer to Mark. Right away, she sat up and flipped her hair using her hand. “How could I sleep here? No one saw us, right?” Lily mumbled and yawned. Stretching her arms out, she looked back at Mark who was sleeping.Lily lifted her hand up and moved it closer to Mark’s face. Using her index finger, she traced the outline of Mark’s face. She continued doing it and then stopped at his lips. “When will you give me my first kiss
Mark noticed the sudden change in Lily's expressions. "Why are you quiet?" Mark asked Lily."You are leaving so early. You told me that you are here for a week then why this sudden change in the decision of higher-ups?" Lily with a dejected expression asked Mark."I do not know. When you will go back to Edinburgh, do not tell anyone about the identities of us devils, not even to your close friend. You may see some ghosts but, you have to careful of them. Avoid them as much as you can. My brothers will be around you to protect you always, so do not worry about being in danger," Mark told Lily."I understood," Lily replied."Do not get close to Lucian at any cost. He is the most powerful Devils amongst us all and no one could fight me except me. but, because I will not be here so, I might not able to save you from the danger he will pose to you in the future," Mark warned Lily."Why would he try to put me in the danger?" Lily queried Mark."Be
“It seems you did not like it,” Mark stated.“W-what? No,” Lily replied him.“Then why do you have tears in your eyes?” Mark asked.“Tears of happiness. I-I a-always wanted to hear this from you. I am happy that I can become a part of your life,” Lily answered and hugged him tightly. Mark lifted his hand and put around Lily.“You wonder me for many things. I indeed feel something strange in my heart. I had never thought that I would actually feel such feelings and it is making me feel happy,” Mark proclaimed.Lily lifted her head and looked into Mark’s eyes. “That is called ‘Love’. You are falling for this woman,” Lily stated with a gentle smile.“I am feeling delighted being in this feeling. Shall we leave then?” Mark asked.“To where?” Lily queried.“The Palace. You shall rest now,” Mark asserted.“You will leave then,” Lily stated with a worried expression. Mark lifted his other hand and stroked Lily’s hair. “I will not leave
Lily and Mark were now in the living room of Lily's house. Lily called out for her mother and father. Mark looked around when he saw a maid had come there. She greeted Lily and looked at Mark thus, greeted him too. "Where are mom and dad?" Lily asked. "I am calling them. They are in their bedroom," Rosie replied. Lily nodded and told Mar to get comfortable on the couch. “Let your parents come first,” Mark stated as he put Lily’s handbag on the couch there. Lily’s parents came downstairs from the spiral stairs in a while and were surprised to see Mark. Victoria and Daniel then peered at each other. “Hello, Sir- Maám! It has been a long time,” Mark said politely. Daniel and Victoria were still in s
Mark and Lily went to the Scott mansion. As they went inside the gates, Xavier, the house butler saw them. He could not believe his eyes that Young Mark Scott had returned. He hastened his steps towards them and greeted Mark. “Master, welcome to the home. I am so happy to see you,” Xavier said. He could not stop himself and hugged Mark tightly. Mark smiled and hugged him back. “Sorry for returning so late,” Mark stated. They pulled away from each other. Xavier greeted Lily Evan and told them to come with him. As they reached the hall, Xavier called for everyone. Elizabeth, mother of Mark without wasting any second arrived there. Tears started flowing from her eyes when Mark embraced her. “Mom,” he softly said. Elizabeth hugged him tightly. The other family members had also arrived there. They were shocked and at the same time delighted to see Mark. After hugging everyone, Mark took a seat on the couch beside Lily. Mark’s father, Lucius had also turned
Mark could be seen in an unknown world of creatures where one could see all kinds of mythical beasts. As soon as he landed with Zamien in the Underworld, he was thrown far away from him.In the Underworld, no one knew how the time passed. There was no light because of all kind of evil souls that resided her. Hell was the punishment house for those souls but after that they were sent here, thus, stopping their every escape point.Mark was checking his surroundings but all he could see was the darkness around him. He did not even know what was lying in front of him. He sat on the ground there as he was tired.“Wait for me, Lily. I will come back,” Mark muttered and brought his knees closer to him. With each passing second, his body was feeling weak as if he would die. Yes, that’s what it felt like to live in the Underworld.You could not disappear and you have to suffer all the tortures in that darkness. A place which was unk
Mark pulled Lily closer after hearing her response. “Thank you for coming in my life and loving me to this extent,” Mark whispered before pulling her into a kiss.Both missed each other’s presence for give years and now the two had united. Their kisses turned hungry as Lily was pinned to the wall. Mark was nibbling Lily’s lips when she let a moan out. With the other hand, Mark removed Lily’s overcoat. Lily’s hands were also on Mark’s hair, fingers playing with them.Mark carried Lily up and took her to the bedroom which was already decorated with yellow and red dim lights. “When did you do this?” Lily asked.“As soon as I landed here,” Mark replied and gently placed Lily on the mattress. Her body pressed down on it, showing how fluffy it was. Mark hovered over Lily, keeping his balance on his elbows. He again kissed her while his other hand started opening the button on Lily’s shirt.“Are you ready, Lily or do you need more time?” Mark asked as he pulled away
Five years later:Time passes soon but some memories are still with you- good and bad both. Same thing happened with me. I have finally achieved my dream of being a news anchor of 9 pm show. My parents, my brother and my friends are proud of me. They daily watch my show which gives me immense pleasure.Whenever I watch at this main desk my heart pounds. The dream is still alive in me but there is one thing which I still miss. He promised me that will stay with me till the eternity but he left me in the middle.With each passing second, my love for him gets stronger. My father sent me on many blind dates but none grabbed my interest the way he grabbed.Eyes are the most beautiful part of a human body. It tells you everything. Same thing happened with me when he saved me and looked with those green pair of eyes at me. My world stopped at that distance, the time stopped and my heart beat too.My only first and only love ended up lik
“Mark,” Lily called out his name before getting unconscious.“Forgive me, Lily but this is the best I can do for you. I do not want you to put in any trouble that’s why I am doing all this. I know I made a quick plan but this all for us. Killing Zamien is important to save the people close to me,” Mark thought in his mind as he was fighting with Zamien.Damien was also aiding him but the power of dark magic was much more than them. The magic used by Zamien was not only hitting their energy points but also extracting the energy from them.Mark had used a forbidden spell by which the extracting of power was not going at a mass level. Zamien realized that he indeed underestimated Mark’s power.“That day you were easily defeated by me then what is happening today?” Zamien wondered.Damien looked at Mark who was thinking of using the spell which will send Zamien to the underworld but there was a risk with
Lucian and Mark were conversing with each other when the doorbell rang. Lucian went to the door while Mark seated on the couch there. Two minutes later, Lucian came to the Living room with Damien.“Have a seat,” Mark told Damien who nodded and got seated on the sofa.Lucian sat on the sofa and looked at Damien. “Zamien is roaming freely for a long time and the level of his power was much more than we all can expect. If he had showed himself then it much be because of a reason. There is no need to play with him because I am going to converse with him face to face,” Damien suggested.“He might harm you,” Mark worriedly said.“He will not. King Oliver has sent a message for him so, I will just pass the message to him and come back,” stated Damien.“Take us with you. You do not how badly he injured Mark. So, we shall not take any kind of risk. Mark told me how he defies the rules made for Devils so it is better to be cautious than be regretful later,”
Lily’s eyes fell on Mark who was peering at her. She took out her phone and messaged him. Mark took out his phone from the pocket and checked Lily’s message. “Meet me in the café right outside my office,” Mark read and a smile appeared on his lips.He started walking along with Lily, both were not talking with each other. Mark slowly moved towards Lily and grabbed her hand. Lily suppressed his smile and whispered, “People will see us.”“No one can see me except you,” Mark asserted and they soon entered the café when Mark made himself visible but at the right time he cut the electricity so that CCTV could not record him. They took a table near the left end of the café which was isolated from the others.Lily ordered two iced Americanos for them and then came to the table. Mark thanked her as he took the Americano from her.“So, is your work completed?” Lily queried him.“Hmm.”“Why have you pulled up your face? Are you again having some problem aga
120 years ago:A man could be seen on his knees and had lowered his head. King Oliver was pacing in the hall and then furiously looked at the man. “How dare you ask for forgiveness? Do you take me as a fool?” King Oliver shouted at the man who was none other than his son, Zamien.“Father, I know I made a mistake but I am not getting why are you so adamant about this rule? We are Devils who are fed on human blood and flesh. I do not think there is anything wrong with that. Just because of a petty agreement with the Angels you are giving me such a huge punishment?” Zamien complained to his father.Oliver could not believe how his son could talk like that. Did he not know that feeding on humans is bad. He was the ruler of the Devils who
