2024-10-29 19:42:56Andreas gently stood, careful not to jolt too much and disturb Eleanor as she slept. He made it through the window and lay with her on her bed. He chuckled when she snuggled into him and shoved her face in the crook of his neck, and her body into his. She'd fallen asleep right after she'd explained everything about Maxwell Black. That fucker thought he was smart? He wanted to play? Well game on. He pulled out his phone and sent a quick text.
Eleanor exhaled as her eyes came open. She blinked and yawned, then stretched.
"Ouch."She quickly retracted her hands and looked up to find Andreas' greens looking back at her."Andreas?" A look of guilt appeared, "I fell asleep on you, didn't I? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."He smoothed her hair back, to observe her face. Her face was blotchy with dried tears and sleep, but she still looked very cute to him."Feeling better?"She nodded and sighed, "Thank you. For staying with me."He rose a brow, "WhaRelated chapters

After receiving a call from Anna saying that she was headed to the shop and would be back by tomorrow, Andreas and Eleanor made their way back to Eleanor's. They got to the door and Eleanor didn't want to let go of Andreas' hand. She didn't want to be alone, having had a full house earlier. Andreas looked down at her."Be sure to close the door when you go in."She looked up at him and nodded."What's that look for?"Her eyes drifted from his eyes, down to his lips, back up to his eyes, then his lips, before she looked away and muttered a quiet, "nothing."A smirk began to form on his lips, "You want something?"She bit her lip, thought about it, then decided to just spit it out. She looked up at him and whispered, "Don't go."His brows dipped, "You're scared?"She gave out a sigh, "I..." And looked away.He held her chin and tipped her face upwards, "You're fine.""But..." She huffed and averted her eyes. He dipped and pecked

Eleanor tiredly opened her eyes as she felt herself being carried and saw... The moon? She tiredly blinked and looked again. The night sky.Andreas' face came into view."Go back to sleep." he whispered as he carried her through the forest."Hm? Where are we going?""My house. You don't want to be alone and I have to go home to prepare for something. Go back to sleep."She yawned and let her tired eyelids drop.Andreas walked out to the living room to Leo, Nick, Anthony and Alexandra. As he passed by her, his flesh welcomed goosebumps as a certain feeling went through him. He looked at her carefully and she smiled up at him."Good morning, sire." Anthony greeted as they all bowed. He nodded once and sat.Leo rose a brow.Andreas rose a brow back."You look refreshed.""Of course he does, he's waking up by 9:45am. The rest of us have to be up by 6 and patrol and stuff." Nick answered.Andreas rolled his eyes. Alexand

Andreas noticed a shift in Eleanor's mood. It had started after the cotton candy escapade. She wasn't as vibrant anymore and from the way Leo leaned in to speak in her ear with a frown on his face, he could tell that Leo noticed too. What could have caused it? He was looking for a way to get his arm out of Alexandra's hold but she wasn't letting up, as she continued pointing out things to him and randomly speaking. Eleanor took lazy step after lazy step, suddenly not feeling giddy anymore. Her mood had just deflated. Could it have been because of the cotton candy and--Nah... Or because of Alexandra and her animosity towards her? Could that have affected her mood? Whatever it was, she definitely didn't like it. She was still caught up in her head when a hand held hers and she turned. The guys walked ahead while Andreas stared down at Eleanor."What's wrong?"Her shoulders moodily rose and fell in a careless shrug, "Nothing."He sat on the forest floor. She frowned down

Anthony extracted the energy his feelings passed out, turned it, and channeled it at him. The demon screamed so loud, Eleanor's ears began to ache."Stop," Will's voice weakly pleaded. "Please stop. I beg you, stop."Anthony stopped, "Push him forward.""I don't know how." Will sobbed."Then we're going to have to do it for you." Alexandra said, stepped up and spouted raw fire. Eleanor couldn't believe it. Wait-fire?! Will's eyes widened."Stop!" Eleanor yelled but Alexandra focused the fire on Will. Anna looked away as Will's skin sizzled. His screams were of pure agony. Eleanor whipped around to face Andreas,"Stop her! Tell her to stop!"She turned back to face Alexandra, "I said stop!"Alexandra continued without a hitch. Unexplainable rage built up in Eleanor. She grit her teeth and angrily whipped around to face Andreas. She saw remorse cross his face but she didn't care. That just made her angrier. She turned back to Alexandra and out o

She gently cupped his cheeks,"Liam?"His eyes kept fluttering but his gaze finally focused on hers,"Thank you.""I am so sorry."He slowly shook his head and rose a shaky hand to hold hers, "You didn't know.""He made you carve into yourself." she said in anguish. That image won't leave her for a long time.He managed to look down at his body and a frown coated his brows as he found that his body was completely void of scratches, then he looked at her,"What is going on?"She inhaled deeply, "I'll tell you later, right now, you need to rest."Leo and Anna approached them and began to help her raise his weak body. They had managed to get his arms around their shoulders when fire shot at Eleanor's feet, blocking her path. Her eyes darted to Alexandra,"What is this?""Explain yourself." she demanded.Everyone else was confused, including Eleanor who was that, and getting angrier by the minute."Excuse me?""E

Andreas felt her body accept the air, only to give it back once he pulled away. The only reason he kept trying vigorously, was because that little spark kept breaking through the haze to meet him. Anna came rushing out with a small wooden bowl and Andreas positioned Eleanor's mouth but it kept pouring out. Anna tried massaging her throat and only a little got in but the rest poured out."Louise, i don't know the cure for wolfsbane." Anna admitted somberly. "Her body isn't taking this one in, I don't know-""Her body recognises me." He spoke up, not taking his eyes off Eleanor's face. "What if my blood is added?"The room went deadly silent."Andreas, you can't do that."He heard Alexandra's voice and had to make a quick decision between staying with Eleanor or lunging for her. He inhaled deeply, ignoring her."Anna?""We-well, uh... With you being her man and being who and what you are, that would definitely help her a lot, but she doesn't know you

Knowing she was being followed, Eleanor whipped around and found Andreas. Exactly the man she wanted to see. She smiled up at him."Question and answer time."He knew it was coming."Tell me why she almost killed Liam and you did nothing about it."He slowly exhaled, trying to tread with caution."We didn't know that there was a way to get the demon out, without Will getting killed afterwards.""Who's we?" She crossed her arms."Anthony, Nick, Leo, Alexandra, and I.""Okay. So, you didn't know there was a way. Did you know that whatever you were doing to him, even if he was going to die afterwards, was causing him an extremely painful death?"Andreas' sigh answered for him."Yes.""And you still did it?""Yes.""Why?""We needed to get the demon to come out.""So, in other words, if Alexandra had burned him to death, you would have just gone with it?"He opened his mouth, shut it and opened it again,

After reluctantly getting off the tree, Andreas insisted on going over to hers, instead of his. While they walked, Eleanor asked,"Why didn't my powers recognise yours when others did?"He looked down at her, "When?""When Alexandra was bleeding and the guys were looking uncomfortable. Their powers were recognizing yours, right?"He chuckled, "You can say that.""So?""Hm?""Why didn't mine recognize yours then too?""Because your powers weren't supposed to recognize mine then."Her face scrunched up in confusion, "Why not?""I didn't want it to."His hand casually slipped into hers."You wanted it later?"He exhaled, "Bella, i was punishing Alexandra."Her eyes zoomed around in thought, "The aura thing Anthony spoke about?"He nodded."Why? What did she do?"He looked down at her. The curiosity etched onto her face made a gentle smile bloom on his,"She was being rude to you. I meant it when i

Andreas walked into the house at around past 6 p.m. and headed straight for the bedroom. Eleanor had banned him from leaving the office before due time, assuring him that she was okay and requesting that he focus on work. After that, she'd said nothing to him at all. Not even when he'd begged. She hadn't picked up his calls, nor had she responded to his texts. His only consolation was that her sister had gone to her. When she'd texted him an hour ago telling him that she was leaving, he'd left the office immediately. He was home a whole hour later.Traffic in New York was no joke. He walked into their bedroom, but didn't see her. Checking other rooms, he finally found her in his art room. She was standing in front of the painting of her he'd been planning to gift her with, in nothing but her bright orange lacy bra and panties. She turned to look at him and the look he saw on her face pushed sexy time to the back of his mind.He moved to stand behind her."It's very beautiful," she whi

11 Months later...."Calm down, baby."Eleanor sighed heavily. Pulling her thumb out of her mouth, she looked out of the window of the moving car. The original person who had bought the company from Maxwell Black was coming, and she had been told by Ramone that he wanted to see the lead editor and a few other writers. Her main worry was that he'd find something unsatisfactory and fire someone. Maybe her. Maybe some else. Her nerves were all over the place.She sighed noisily and licked her lips."I can't. I'm so anxious.... I think I'm going to throw up.""Again?" He asked with concern and pulled over. She bolted out of the car and bent over, heaving the nausea away. Moments later, she felt his palm rubbing her back."Are you okay? You haven't even had anything yet."She slowly nodded, feeling the nausea backing away. She'd been feeling funny for the past month, but had refused to go to a hospital. She didn't think it was serious. Just nausea, mid day dizziness, and constant tirednes

They finally made it to the theatre. Andreas marveled at the amount of people at the cinema, so late at night. Eleanor insisted on buying the tickets and to stop her from shocking him as she so vehemently threatened to, he let her. They got into the packed hall and got a seat at the back. Right before the movie started, Eleanor stood, rasping out,"I have to pee. Be right back." She kissed his cheek and ran for the bathroom. She returned four minutes later with a certain look on her face."Ciccino?" She called."Hmm?""Do you know what gaping is?"Andreas gave her a recoiling frown. "Where did you hear that?""Don't be so obvious, but look there," she discreetly pointed to his right."See that dude with the black jacket and brown hair?""The one talking to a lady?""Yeah. He said it to me."Andreas turned back to her. "How?""I was coming out of the female restroom and he was stood right in front of it. He tried to talk to me and as I was trying to avoid his hands, he said I'd look

3 months laterAndreas and Eleanor got out of the car in front of Eleanor's house in New York.Her wounds had healed somehow. They hadn't told her how, but they had thoroughly scolded her on who to save, and what the word 'enemy' meant. After that, she had not been allowed to do a lot. She could only eat, sleep, and squirm away from Andreas' glare whenever she tried to do more. Now, in her prediction, Andreas had been Anna.Faceless voice was over and done with.Somehow, Maloniah had survived.Klitanis had been released into the supernatural realm, but Maloniah and some of his demon friends had been taken into the stone. Andreas had proposed two months later. It had started off with Andreas taking her up to the roof, claiming to want to show her something. He had then sprouted huge white wings, and flown them up high."There are weirdly shaped trees that I think you would like to see."She instantly nodded, her eyes wide. Weirdly shaped trees? How weird?! He flew them to one that wa

"Fuck!" Andreas swore, gritting his teeth when his eyes met Alexandra's. Shaking the crawling pillagers off him, he sprouted wings and flying up, took two lycans with him. Crushing their hands and feet partially in anger and in a bid to end their thrashing, which just resulted in one of them biting into his thigh-which he ignored-he flew over to Adrastos.Dropping the more violent lycan and watching it's hands flail before it's skull cracked open against a rock, he turned to face Adrastos."Alexandra is here."Adrastos' eyes widened. "What!?""She's here! Who set her free?!""I don't know, my king-""Find whomever did it and bring him or her to me.""Do I get her off the battleground?"Andreas cussed. It would cause a distraction. A distraction that they couldn't afford."No. Not yet."While Adrastos shouted, annoyed at the lack of common sense possessed by a few of his kind, Andreas turned to descended. That was when he saw William.

Tension brewed within the group.They approached Eleanor's place and true to their words, in the distance, they saw figures approaching. Getting to the front of the house, they stood.Waiting.Eleanor was more impatient to see if what Esmeralda had given her for her eyes would work.Contact lenses.Esmeralda had explained to her that the eyes of the Fourth spirit held horrors unknown to men. Torture, sadness, anger, bitterness, shame, tranquil torture, hate, you name it, they were all there. They all strove for dominance in his eyes and If she looked really close, she would see them all, fighting with their hypnotizing trade marks on their backs. Looking into his eyes drew out some form of reaction. Be it fear, surprise or even curiosity, it drew out a reaction.An emotional reaction.That was what granted him access to the soul. He needed a reaction as an opening to enter and the lack of a reaction served as a barrier to his entrance. That was

Eleanor awoke to find herself in his realm. The supernaturals hadn't taken lightly to Esmeralda being in their realm. Some leaders were rather shocked, now seeing Eleanor as the ticket to somehow drawing their once peaceful creatures back from the Fourth spirit. Eleanor was cool with it... Till she found out that some planned to kill them for betraying them.She also found out that Daphne had willingly joined the Fourth spirit because Alexandra had tricked her.Also, the supernatural kingdom was carrying out a sweep to seek out betrayers and liars.So much was happening. Esmeralda- who once upon a time was Anna's friend- had told them all of the Fourth spirit's mode of attack, plans, thoughts, changes, the time that was best for him and back up."How can we even trust her!?" Shouted a rather annoying supernatural leader for literally the fiftieth time.Everyone either groaned or shot him aggravated looks, telling him to shut up.He was

It had been an added week with her in the realm of the supernaturals, and she'd found out a bunch of things.One, Everyone looked at her with starlit eyes after finding out that she was the child prophesied about, and she wasn't liking it.Two, Garion like liked her, and was pretty bummed out that she was Andreas' mate, but was happy for them, nonetheless.Three, Daphne had gone missing. She'd only found out when Anna had said it to stop her from asking any more questions, because apparently, she couldn't say exactly what she saw because it would "disrupt things".Four, Faceless voice's witches couldn't see into Andreas' realm.Five, there were portals everywhere, like the one in Lake Creek.Everywhere.She could go anywhere in this world, as long as she found the right portal. Just, what would she say if she ran into a foreign police officer who asked for something she forgot to bring along? Say a passport or an ID card? That

"Deitalyn-" Eleanor turned in the direction she'd seen Deitalyn go off in, but saw Andreas.Andreas!"Even better!" She got off the bed and rushed to him."If I accept that we're soul mates, I'm accepting to a marriage?"His brows dipped at her troubled expression."You don't want to get married?""No- I mean yes, but not right now. We still have to fight faceless voice and kick his crusty old butt!" She enthused, making wild hand gestures."I'll get injured because I'm just like that, and besides, it makes it all the more cooler, walking out of battle in leather pants and thick smoke behind you, with blood dripping down your face, and a sword or something in your hand."Andreas rose a brow."That's just how it's done, son!" She threw out.Andreas fought the urge to slap his forehead."You'll be doing stuff too. I'll have to tend to my injuries and knowing me, it'll take weeks! Knowing Anna, I'll get food shove
