The Underworld,Seven Centuries Ago, "Are you sure you know where we going? It feels like we're heading towards Poseidon's territory" Altan said to Athena who was all smiles."We just have to be quiet. What's the worst thing that can happen?" She chirped. "Oh, I don't know? We can actually get caught"Athena held a hand to her mouth to stifle a chuckle. "Come on, Altan. You're always telling me to loosen up. Why are you so uptight about this?" She said and he sighed. "I'm just being careful. I don't care if I get caught, but I'm worried that you might get caught""Awwn. Why are you so cute?" Athena cooed and he playfully rolled his eyes. "Come on, just a little more" she added and he sighed. "I can't believe we're doing this" She shrugged. "We need to find it together. It will certainly make our love and bond stronger" she said and he snorted. He knew she was a sucker for things like that. "Whatever you say, miss" "Altan! Get over here! I've found it!" She whispered

LORENZO Multicolored lights illuminated the bar I'd walked into, three hours ago. Music played in the background and I zoned out on my stool. I stared at my glass of vodka for a moment. Then, I picked it up and downed it's content. Sighing, I ran my fingers through my hair. After leaving Mikael's home, there was one question on my mind. A question that I couldn't get the answer to. I'd stayed up last night, trying to figure out why Hera had chosen to get me reincarnated in this life time. Don't get me wrong, I want to live. But, what if the reason I was reincarnated, is to stop Mikael from being free from the curse? What if I was supposed to become Hera's secret weapon? These thoughts made me feel incredibly uneasy. Not that I could help it. "Hello, gorgeous" I turned to look at the woman now standing beside me, with a beautiful smile on her face. Her turqoise dress was sleeveless and it glittered under the lights. Her blonde hair was in a high ponytail and she was wearing b

I'll pick up the broken pieces of you. I'll hold you together and I'll fix you. I'll love you to health and I'll kiss the pain away.-------------BLAIR I gazed in awe at the beauty of Mikael's painting of me. He placed an arm around my waist, a satisfied smile tugging at his lips. "What do you think?" He asked and I grinned. "It's beautiful" I breathed. "It doesn't completely describe how beautiful you are, Blair" he said and my heart fluttered in my chest, butterflies erupting in my stomach. Decade after decade, only Altan has the ability to make me feel like a love struck teenager and that superpower of his, has not changed at all. I gazed into his indigo eyes with passion for him blooming within me, like the cherry blossoms. He gazed at me too, a tender look in his eyes."I don't regret any of it, Mikael. I don't regret meeting you. My soul chose you. You are my soulmate and although Hera tears us apart, we will always come back to each other, loving each other twice as

I couldn't hear a single sound and there was nothing in sight. Nothing but a blinding white color of everything. I started to walk aimlessly. It felt like I was in some sort of maze. Try as hard as I could, I couldn't figure out where I was or what was going on. This did not sit well with me, so I was worried."My boy" I froze. I could recognize that voice anywhere. I swallowed hard, not wanting to turn around. There was a fear of the unknown that was quickly filling me. "My boy, won't you look at me?" said the voice again. I slowly turned around and came face to face with the woman who'd carried me in her womb and had been reincarnated several times for that purpose. She looked as beautiful as she'd always been. Her grey eyes searched mine, her lips curved into a bright smile. She was wearing a white dress and her

BLAIR "Why?" He breathed shakily."Why do you keep lying to me in order to protect me?" He asked and I cupped the side of his face. "I would lie to you if it meant that it would keep you from feeling the pain of knowing the bitter truth. But, I really don't know what this is about. We have talked about the fact that I used to commit suicide. But, I promised you that I wouldn't do that again--""When I asked you to tell me the people I'd killed, why didn't you tell me that using my terrible powers, I'd once murdered the woman who'd birthed me?" Altan said and I froze, my eyes widening. "You... know about that?" I breathed and he sighed, a downcast look in his eyes."While I was unconscious, I saw her""You did?""It was after I gained consciousness that I recalled what I'd done""You know it wasn't entirely your fault. If you could stop it, you would have. Please, don't be too hard on yourself" I said, pressing a kiss to his jaw. I embraced him and closed my eyes. He relaxed

There'll be mountain for us to climb,There'll be days when the sun won't shine,But, I'll stick to it,I swear.------------------------------------MIKAEL I stared at the rose imprinted on my upper arm, exasperated. The rose was still a bright red, fortunately for me. Just as I started to turn away from the mirror, I saw the rose turn blue. Then, it turned red as quickly as it had turned blue. Another wave of dizziness washed over me and I gripped the sink hard, my knuckles turning white. After a few seconds, the dizziness eased enough for me to walk out of the bathroom. When I walked into the bedroom, I found Blair sitting on my bed. She smiled when she saw me. "Lorenzo stopped by while you were still in the bathroom" she said and I slowly lowered myself onto the couch in my room. "Did he find out anything?" I asked and she sighed. "Not exactly" "Right" I muttered, resting my head on the head rest, my eyes slipping close. There was a throbbing in the back of my hea

BLAIR "What's that on the mirror?" He asked with his brows furrowed. He moved closer to the mirror, his eyes widening when he read the message on the mirror. "Blair?" He breathed, his gaze still fixed on the silvery surface."Yeah?""Is that--Is that blood?" He asked, his eyes wide with terror. I moved closer to the mirror and sure enough, I perceived the metallic smell of blood. "How...how is it here?" I said and Mikael clenched his fists, tensed."What is Hera up to this time?" he muttered under his breath. "I'll get rid of it" I said, taking his hand in mine. He still looked very upset and when I led him back to his bedroom, he nearly punched the wall. "Look, I know you're so upset about the fact that Hera has been messing with us, but until we find a way to defeat that bitch, there's really nothing we can do, Kael" I said and he let out an exasperated sigh as he pinched the bridge of his nose. I got rid of the blood in Mikael's bathroom and for the rest of the night, we r

We're better off being together than being miserable alone.-----------------------------------BLAIR Mum's cold gaze met my shocked ones. Then, she slapped my man again. Tensed, I walked up to her to stop her from inflicting more pain on him. "You have quite the nerve, don't you?! You ruined my daughter's life! Leave her alone and go back to hell where you belong!" She hissed at Mikael who stared at her, a blank look on his face. "Mum, please stop it. Leave him alone" I said, taking Mikael's hand in mine. "What is he doing here in your house?! Have you been sleeping with him already?!" Mum demanded and I made Mikael to stand behind me. "Mum! Stop it already! Please!" I said. She narrowed her eyes. "I am disappointed in you, Blair--"I cut her off, my fist clenched as frustration built within me. "So what?! Disappointed because I fell in love with my soulmate? I chose to be with him, mum. There's absolutely nothing you can do about it. You just have to deal with it. You sho

Love Beyond Realms Epilogue
BLAIR I miss him. I really do. I think of him everyday. I see him everywhere. I hear his voice. I know it's all my imagination, but I don't want to let go of these fragments of my imaginations. They are probably the only thing keeping me sane. Our daughter, Althea has been growing up so fast. She's also really smart. She rarely asks about her father after the day she found me crying in the bedroom with Mikael's photo in my hands. She has his grey eyes and my red hair. Infact, she looks a lot like her father. But, she's just as feisty as me. My little girl doesn't say it, but I know she wants to have a dad, just like the rest of her classmates. Tomorrow is her birthday. Her eight birthday. Yes, it has been eight years since her father died and every time I think of Althea's birth, I'm reminded of the death of her father, the love of my life. I'm a working class woman as I've always wanted to be. Mikael had left his company under my name. I'd taken his position as CEO of Kane's
Love Beyond Realms 48: Dust And Ashes
BLAIR Mikael was awake when I got to the car. He gazed at me with a look that said that he knew that the appointed time had finally arrived. I pressed a kiss to his forehead and lips. "See? I told you we would make it to midnight," I said and he embraced me. I held on to him, not wanting to let go just yet. "It's okay, Blair. My time has come, you know that," he whispered in my ear. I let out a shaky breath and slowly pulled away. Mikael cupped the side of my face and kissed me, a single tear rolling down his right cheek. "I love you," he said, his voice shaky. "I love you too," I rasped and he gave me a pained smile. I wiped his tears with my fingers. "Don't cry or I will have to start crying. It won't be nice," I told him. He placed a trembling hand on my stomach, his gaze locked with mine. "Take care of her, okay?" He croaked and I nodded."I will."He closed his eyes and let out a sharp exhale. He took out a butterfly charm bracelet and helped me slip it on. "It is a sy
Love Beyond Realms 47: Black Rose
BLAIR I remained awake until it clocked 12:00am. It was officially Mikael's twenty fourth birthday. Aria and I had prepared a cake and decorated Mikael's room a little bit. While we did so, Enzo remained by Mikael's bedside, watching over him.I switched off the lights and went to lie down beside Mikael. He wasn't wearing a shirt and his skin was warmer than usual. I pressed butterfly kisses down his spine until he stirred. I buried my face in the crook of his neck and pressed another kiss to his skin."Happy birthday, love" I whispered and he chuckled weakly. Aria switched on the lights and Mikael took in the sight of the 'Happy Twenty Fourth Birthday' banner, the smile on his face, growing."Happy birthday, Kael" Lorenzo and Aria stated with a smile on their faces. "Gosh, you're old. You know you're over five centuries old, right?" Enzo teased and Mikael snorted inamusement. "Here comes the cake," Aria said in a singsong voice. She was carrying the cake we'd both baked sev
Love Beyond Realms 46: Final Days
LORENZO Watching Aria sleep had become more of a hobby, knowing that soon I would no longer be by her side in a matter of time. It's been two days since I visited Mikael's home. Two days since Blair told me about Moira's appearance to her. Two days since I accepted my fate. Aria was yet to know about the fact that I was going to die pretty soon. She'd probably noticed that something was bothering me, but she hadn't talked about it, yet. I exhaled slowly, running my fingers through my hair. I was certainly not afraid of dying. But, I was worried about Aria. I knew she didn't want to loose me. If she knew that I was going to die, it would tear her apart. I didn't want to make her cry, but I had to let her know the truth. I needed to prepare her for her future without me. I brushed her hair away from her face, my gaze resting on her serene features. She was beautiful. There was no doubt about that. She was also my first and last love. She made me have a purpose and I was really g
Love Beyond Realms 45: Fight Or Flight
BLAIR Two days after Enzo's visit, I was feeling worse. My headaches had worsened and my nausea became really frustrating. It was at that point that I knew that something was up. Mikael had fallen asleep in the bedroom, not too long ago.He was doing a lot of sleeping as of recent. I went into the bathroom. Then, I took off my shirt and stood in front of the mirror. I seemed to have put on a little weight. I knew what this could mean, but I needed to know for sure if it was what I was thinking. My hands were glowing a bright purple as I channeled my magic into the palm of my hands. Taking a deep breath, I placed my hand on my stomach and closed my eyes. I could feel a different energy within me. Tears filled my eyes and when I opened them, my gaze fell on the mirror. The mirror was reflecting the yellowish waves of energy radiating from my stomach. I slowly sank to my knees, tears rolling down my cheeks in floods. I had mixed feelings about my condition. I was carrying Mikael'
Love Beyond Realms 44: Cruel Reality
BLAIR My eyelids were heavy with exhaustion but I couldn't sleep. I was also painfully well aware of the digits displayed on the digital clock on the nightstand. I had a pounding headache and I was feeling a little nauseous.Mikael was lying on the bed, asleep and his breathing was strained. I couldn't do anything but watch over him, afraid that if I closed my eyes for a second, I would lose him to the cold hands of death. "All you have to do is accept your cruel reality before Hera takes advantage of your hesitation" a small voice at the back of my mind said. My gaze rested on Mikael's pale face and I stroked the side of his face with shaky fingers. He looked so tired and drained.He used to be so full of life. I recalled how we'd met in this lifetime, the way he'd acted so coldly, the way he called me a different name, the times he called me Scaredy-cat. I thought about everything Moira had said to me and I wondered if I could really do it. I wondered if I could ever gain th
Love Beyond Realms 43: Labyrinth
MIKAEL The air was freezing cold and I had no idea where I was. I was in a dark room with no window or door. I took a step forward. Then, I took another. A door suddenly appeared in front of me, bright light illuminating the room that was once so dark. I took a deep breath and made my way towards the exit of the room. Once I stepped out of the room, I was surprised to find myself in the middle of Hera's courtyard. Hera was speaking to two other women I could recognize. Cordelia, the goddess of water and Nyx, the goddess of the night. The three women were sitting under the tree of discord. "There's something I discovered today" Hera began and the other two women raised their brows."What is it? Did you perhaps find out who the new guard really is?" Nyx asked. "Of course, I did. I discovered that his mother had given him a different name apart from the one given to him by the Fates" Hera said and my frown deepened. I had no clue about what she was talking about. "Why wou
Love Beyond Realms 42: Fate's Agenda
BLAIR My gaze rested on Mikael who was lying right beside me, my head on his bare chest. I blinked and raised my head to look around the room. I'd been asleep few seconds ago. I could've sworn someone had called my name. Mikael was still asleep and there was clearly no one in the room. But, I wasn't convinced that what I'd heard was a mere fragment of my imagination.I placed my hand on Mikael's forehead and heaved a sigh of relief at the absence of a fever. I sat up slowly, gently tucking the blankets around Kael. I got out of bed with no clothes on. Letting out a sharp exhale, I grabbed a night robe and slipped it on. 'Athena' I froze and turned to look at the double doors leading to the terrace. I moved towards them and opened the door. Cold breeze ruffled my hair, goose bumps appearing on my skin. Once I stepped out into the terrace, I was startled by the sight of the glowing figure standing at the far end of the terrace, her back to me.Her hair was a mixture of black and
Love Beyond Realms 41: Treasured Moments
BLAIR Sunlight seeped through the window and cast it's glow in Mikael's room. We were lying on the bed. Kael was asleep and I was wide awake. I hadn't slept a wink throughout the night. He'd been so sick, I'd feared that last night was when I would loose him again. I watched him breathe, relieved that he'd made it through the night and was still very much alive. He coughed into his fist and cracked an eye open. I gave him a smile as I picked up a small towel and wiped his bloodied hand. He finally opened his eyes and looked around the room. His gaze finally met mine and an endearing smile curved my lips. "Yes, you're still alive" I rasped and he closed his eyes briefly. He looked so relieved. I held his hand and pressed a kiss to his knuckles. After Mikael had freshened up, I changed the sheets and he laid down on the bed with me beside him."How are you feeling?" I asked and he chuckled softly. "Like I've been hit by a truck?" He rasped. I rolled up the sleeve of his hoodie.
