2020-11-15 18:16:03The trip back to Marcus's home was a blur. I was beyond consolable, and Marcus wasn't in a condition to act strong either.
He did assure me, "We will find out a way to undo this, I don't know how yet."
"I read in one of those library books about ways to lift a curse. It talked about destroying the curse scroll. But Ophelia didn't have one to destroy. She just whipped it out like a dish with weird ingredients."
"The key may be in these stones. We don't know much about them yet. And it doesn't look like we had them earlier."
"Yeah, I think this is the first time that we came into possession of these. The sorceress that gave mine said something about second chances when handing it to me."
"How do we find her?"
"She is a bit too elusive. I talked to her only three times and saw her just that once. The second time was in a dream the night we got married. She asked me to tell you my secret as soon as possible. The third time was when I fainted aft

Why Rhea? My brain refused to think as Tulio slowly advanced towards her. I was expecting him to target me, not her."Pater!! Help!" Rhea screamed for her dad when Tulio grabbed her hair and pressed her face against the kitchen counter.Diana slowly moved her fingers towards the knife that was still in the tray with the chicken. Tulio saw that and took his dagger out in a second."Don't fuck with me, unless you want to get killed too."Marcus's dad reached the kitchen with a puzzled expression and his face turned ashen when he saw Tulio."Calm down, Tulio. Put the dagger away first.""Fuck you!""Didn't you see Allena here? What's gotten into you, that's Rhea.""Just the person I need.""Tulio! Your brain cells took a beating from Marcus. You should be going after Allena.""I will, I like to bed feisty women. But let me kill this bitch first. Glad you are here; I want you to watch."I saw Cassia slowl

~Alyssa~I woke up with a start, with a feeling that I overslept and missed an important school test.Where the hell was I? This wasn't my room."Jeez! You just scared me. I am Jake, by the way, your doctor.""H-Hi" I cleared my throat. "How long have I been here?" I was in a daze and couldn't keep my eyes open without squinting.I was in a hospital suite that was filled with 'get well' cards and flowers. Memories rushed back instantly of the night I met with the accident."A week." The doctor replied."Oh..." Really? It felt more like a month."Now that you are up, I paged the nurse to take your vitals again. She will be here in a bit. And there were people here earlier for you. They were not sure if you were going to wake up. It was my fault because I was not sure what to tell them. Let me go make some quick calls, I will be right back."People? For me? My mom should be in Michigan and Jon broke up with me. Who w

We went to one of my mom's favorite brunch places. The unlimited coffee at such places was never my thing, and I was usually there for the sumptuous pancakes or omelets, but surprisingly, I downed three cups... didn't realize that it was possible to miss even crappy coffee so much.I was hoping to catch up with my dad a bit. I was seeing him after thirteen long years and wanted to know more about his wife and daughter. But my mom took away all the limelight. She loved to talk about herself a lot even when there was nothing new to share. Her car and her house address happened to be on the national news only a couple of days back, so she got a chance to go on about it for another decade I guess."Oh, we have been living in fear ever since. My poor babies are sleeping with me and Ben.""Why would someone specifically choose our house to steal a gun?" I asked. My stepdad must be part of the Mafia."Your favorite handbag is gone too," said my little stepbrothe

I walked towards them with determination but my legs turned to jelly the minute his eyes met mine. The intensity in his look made me falter and stop mid-stride. The time came to a standstill for no idea how long, until we were interrupted by the girl he was with."Babe?!!" She shook him out of the trance.His gaze returned to her with a "Huh?"She then looked at me frowning."Yes?""Can you guys tone it down a bit? Or wait until you get a room?"What the hell was I saying? I couldn't believe my own ears. This was not me; I usually never butt into other people's business. I was rather good at ignoring things that didn't concern me.She placed a hand over her hip and asked with narrowed eyes, "What's your problem? How old are you?""Let's go to the other one. We are getting off soon anyway." He avoided looking at me."But why should we? She can if she has a problem."I did have a problem, and I was bothe

Goosebumps lined my skin when a small teasing smile crept upon his face. Lost in a heady trance of passion, I knew it was only the start of the inferno to come.He grabbed me by the waist, kissing my neck, and pushing his body into mine. His rough hands tried hard to not rip my clothes but failed, his tongue caressed every inch of my body hungrily. Those long and deep kisses, our tangled arms and legs, aah! I gasped for air as his thrusts got faster and deeper. The rest of the world faded into an unimportant blur. Then without control, my body exploded into another head spinning orgasm."I am not done with you yet," his words fueled the fire inside me.He left my body feeling limp by the time he was done. I lay still, listening to the sound of his beating heart."I love you, Marcus." I said, tugging him closer.His hand gently glided through my hair, tucking a wisp behind my ear. His eyes were lit with love. The pale moonlight streaming from the wi

When we pulled away, he looked at me like it was all my fault, as if I was the one who put some spell on him. I grabbed his shirt with both my hands when he tried to leave. I couldn't imagine staying away from him."I am sorry," he said, taking my hands off of him, and then he walked away like I didn't exist.I rushed into the bathroom feeling flustered. It wasn't me who approached him this time. How could he think it was my fault? It was his fault that he existed and made me feel this way. He had encroached into my dreams and my life, taking control over everything."Hi"A woman washing her hands near the sink next to me said with a smile. What the hell does she want? I was not in a mood to strike random conversations with anyone right now. I ignored her and continued washing my hands."I thought Liam Cooper was engaged to someone else?""How do you know him?""Many people who pay attention to the news know him. He was all over natio

Marcus's POVTwo days ago (≈ Two weeks back in the Iron Age time)It was one of my worst nightmares to see Allena paying the price for my past with Laelia. I wasn't willing to admit this to Allena, but I was terrified of Laelia's strength and wrath. I wanted to end my relationship with her the day I kissed Allena. I never felt anything like that with Laelia before, and I somehow knew then that Allena and I were meant to be.I fought the urge to kill Tulio the very next moment when I saw him touch Allena, but I didn't want to attract Laelia's attention about falling for Allena. And then, like a fool, I got emotional and blurted it out in front of Laelia and the rest of my family when I panicked that she was going to go back that night with her parents. I should have been more careful with Laelia, especially after she had attacked us on our way home from the fortress.The enchantments around my home were supposed to protect Allena from harm if she was

Marcus's POV"I can barely feel her pulse," said the Druid.His words were getting gloomier by the minute."She has several puncture wounds, and some of these cuts are pretty deep. Lost a lot of blood, chances are, she may not survive."This was the last thing I wanted to hear. Max had a punctured lung and broken ribs. Logan's condition was the most critical of all. He examined him for a long time."Jeez! What kind of an animal are we talking about? Even his bones are cut. The impact must be quite bad."He looked up at me with a bleak expression and said, "I am sorry. Neither of your friends can be saved, and Allena's condition is also doubtful. I don't have the equipment and facilities to keep them going. We need electricity and many other things for all that to happen."Conan interfered before I spoke, "Can the other druids not work their magic somehow? Bring this electric whatever you need?""We don't do that sort of m

"How can that be? Billy took them?""Liam Cooper checked them out."Marcus and the Druid had some heated exchange of words about the Druid not telling Marcus about Liam earlier."We were focussed on finding Alyssa's home address back then, not who Liam Cooper was or why he exists, remember?"We went to find someone named Jake, the doctor."You folks are driving me insane. That guy looked exactly like him but spoke perfect English," Jake said, pointing to Marcus."Please ask him about Allena's condition," Marcus prompted him.I was so confused about who this other Allena was if Alyssa was in the alternate world as Allena. How many worlds have these people infested?The Druid translated Jake's words for Marcus, "Looks like she underwent the last surgery and was out of danger. As expected, he is going crazy as to why both Allena and Alyssa are still unconscious. He is also suspicious about who we really are. Alyssa said you were h

Marcus's feet staggered, and I caught him from falling to the ground.She loaded the next one to aim at Marcus again."No! Stop!!"He seemed to be awake but not able to get off the ground. What the hell did she shoot him with? Poison?I ran to stop her but was too late. She took a shot at him again."Stop, don't kill him." My voice cracked when I tried to beg.She grabbed another dart and was loading once more. I reached close enough to attack her, but she pulled out a strange weapon from underneath her tunic and moved toward me threateningly, speaking in a foreign language.But what was she going to shoot me with? She loaded nothing in there. It was too tiny to be a weapon. Was she fooling me?I disregarded her warning and pulled my knife out from my boot while grabbing her hair with my other hand.I heard a click sound and saw her nervous expression before she pressed it again. She was too slow, and I had already

I followed Marcus to the hallway where all the guests were accommodated, including my family. He lightly tapped on a door and stepped in.The windows facing the courtyard were all shut and I couldn't hear a thing. I exited the house through the garden entrance to see if the room had windows facing the river like ours. I scaled up to the second floor and stayed behind the window curtains."It just occurred to me now. No wonder she couldn't visit Chicago." I heard Marcus's voice."If the stones work only one way, how were we able to return then?""I think by one way, it means the place where they can be activated from. We can activate my stone only from here. And hers only from Chicago. We used the portal you created from here to return. If the portal had closed, I think we would have been stuck in Chicago."Chicago, portal, stones... what was he talking about? Maybe they were speaking in a mixed language because most of it sounded like gibb
Love Without Time Limits (AC2) Chapter 83 | His Touch
After the wedding feast, Marcus was beginning to look distracted and stressed again. His eyes wandered around, searching for someone. Who else would he be looking for?"Are you looking for Laelia?"I couldn't hide the anger out of my voice.He made me feel so special that I forgot all about her existence until now."Laelia is not here," he said"Was she not invited? Or did she not want to come?"If I had to attend my boyfriend's wedding, I would probably be a crying mess.He looked at me with amusement."Why do you care?""I don't care. I will take it as an insult though if you stare at her while I am in your arms."He stroked my cheek, setting it on fire, "How can I stare at anyone else?"I was at a loss for words. I should be feeling ashamed of myself. I made such overconfident claims, even said to Marcus many times, that I loved Neill. Here I was, dying to hear such cheesy words from him.Ev
Love Without Time Limits (AC2) Chapter 82 | Feeling Unloved
Alternate World TwoAllena's POV"I think he suffers from a personality disorder," I told my mother."That won't stop this wedding. Stop making stories up and look down so that she can do your hair well.""It's true! I know no one would believe me if I told them. He has three different personalities, all different from one another.""And what are these?" Selma asked.She thinks I was already so into him already that his hot and cold behavior was bothering me."The first one is the arrogant jerk who is madly in love with Laelia and doesn't give two shits about me."It was my mother's turn to look amused."Does this girlfriend really exist? Or did you make this story up as well? Where is she? I expected her to dress up better than you and taunt you already. That's the kind of impression you gave me about this imaginary woman.""He must have sent her away somewhere when he got possessed by that second personality of
Love Without Time Limits (AC2) Chapter 81 | The Disappearance
Alternate World TwoMarcus's POVI struggled to focus on what was important. Things were a mess in Chicago, and I was clueless as to what exactly was going on.Thankfully, the Druid from here was very cooperative. He looked almost a decade younger than the other Druid. I was wary about giving him all the details at once and freaking him out. He was already quite panicked that I knew his time traveler secret.But once I talked to him long enough explaining my situation, and when I told him that an older version of him existed, he was all up for helping and meeting his older self. He wanted to know what he had done differently so far in the parallel universe, and all the adventures he went on.The older Druid definitely went back further in time or lived longer in the past to have aged so much more. This younger Druid was particularly excited about portals to the alternate world, which I had no idea even existed. If they did, it w
Love Without Time Limits (AC2) Chapter 80 | A Sad Ending
I wanted to feel anger or indifference. I just wanted to cry my heart out while in his arms."Please don't leave me," he said.I was so determined to leave until this moment. But now I was wondering if I should leave it for Allena to decide. She knows what has been going on so far, and unlike me, she may already know what she wants. I did not have the heart to say no to him. I also did not have much time left with him.After a long and tight hug, he released me from his arms. I saw him look vulnerable for the first time."I am still learning to love, and I will probably never learn to live without you. Please, stay."His words made me cry more. They also had me realize that I could not leave him in the lurch. What if I forgive him today and Allena tells him to fuck off tomorrow?"I have to tell you something, something very important.""Oh yeah? Me too.""Um... What I have to say is not easy to explain. When I show you so

Something inside me had snapped. His words delivered such painful blows that feelings of hopelessness engulfed me; hopelessness about now and forever.I pushed my way out of the kitchen, with a dozen servants watching the drama. Selma followed me to the room, but I didn't want to talk to anyone for as long as possible. I closed the door and locked it, pretending to not see her.What just happened? How I wished this was one nightmare while under sedation.I locked myself in for the next two days, not caring about Marcus or breaking the curse. Nothing mattered anymore.I knew I shouldn't feel so devastated. We didn't share the soulmate bond. I wouldn't even be here two days from now. It was like getting mad at my Marcus for something Damen did like when he lied to Nyneve. The sorceress said 'about' three weeks. I hoped each day that it was the last day.I guess I already blew up my chance to find the portal and do something meaningful. Ma
Love Without Time Limits (AC2) Chapter 78 | Hard to Love
They say it's very hard to love something that doesn't need you. But it was harder to stop loving the ruthless version of Marcus, even if he didn't want me.He avoided me at all costs for the rest of the afternoon. He said I had to stay in my room until my ankle healed completely. It would save me from all the back-breaking work for sure, but how was I ever going to get another chance to sneak out of the fortress then?I considered telling him about it, asking him to take me to the cave himself. That was the easiest and safest way. I walked to the training grounds, wondering if he was over there."Where do you think you are going?" Logan stopped me."I am looking for the Legatus.""And why would he want to meet you?""He would very much want to, and that's why I am looking for him.""Get back to wherever you are supposed to be. You don't own this place, so stop walking around as if you do."Huh!"I will go back, just tel
