I walked round the lair. Reminding myself of the little but cherishable memories I once had with the dark quiet place. Liam was in the room and he was as patient as ever, sipping on his fifth cup of water. He wouldn't accept anything else from me. I understood 'cause I would never drink another witch's tea. We are evilly unpredictable.
I, as an experienced and learned witch, knew it took time to make a love pearl but impatience was a common attribute of a witch.
The kids were taken care of and put to bed. I loved kids, even though I could never have one which was all thanks to my mother. I wasn't a fairytale which that ate kids whole but just because I wasn't didn't mean there weren't. My mother was one of them.
She ate hundred of kids in her lifetime till I overpowered her and took her powers from her but now she was dead, thanks to the Devil.
The saddening part was he didn't even realize he had taken my family from me. There was only one thing he loved
I could still hear myself screaming even after we stopped. Elliot rolled his eyes and placed his hands over my mouth then kissed my neck. That cooled me down."Easy, didn't you say you were ready?""That's not funny."My heart was beating hard. I was sure Elliot could hear it but he said nothing. I realized why when I looked towards the underwater city. It was breathtaking. Colorful fishes ruled the waters and stone made roads indicated the paths.The houses were nothing like ours. They were short and of different unwordly colors. Their windows were just child-made holes in senseless areas of the buildings. The houses were small but because they lived underground too, there was no need to build tall buildings like ours.The doors were made of different things, nets, coral bars, strings of beads and pearls, the weakest rotten wood... The shops and stalls looked like they were designed by children. I wanted to call the place a village until we reache
Lena's POV "And how do you suppose we do that?" I asked, raising a brow. He smiled, guessing I was too innocent for his ways of doing things. That was just what he thought. "Easy." He snapped his fingers. The mergirl startled awake. She started to itch her body, screaming in pain. Her skin started to turn red and I was full of horror. "Elliot, what did you do?!" I couldn't stand to see someone so innocent in undeserving pain. "Wait a second." "Don't te'll me to wait! Stop this now!" In a matter of seconds the redness of her skin dissapeared and the itching stopped. "It was a ten-second flea spell. She's fine now." "We could have just poured waste on her face." He laughed. "Looks like you've forgotten where we are." 'Oh,' I thought when I remembered that we were in the ocean itself. She rubbed her eyes and surveyed her surroudings. The mergirl's beauty was unexplainable, just like
Lexa's head swiftly turned when she heard a creeking sound of the door.They were back in the giant mansion, Elliot thought it was the best place to be even though that would be Liam's first guess but either way, it was impossible to hide from an angel.They always manage to find you if there's light while God sees both in dark and light. If God knows something, so do the angels so..."Is he..."Elliot said for the nineteenth time. For a devil he was patient with her. "Relax, even if he is I'm here." Elliot's calming words did not help her. He looked down to her untouched plate of luxury pizza personally made by Nina Selimaj. "You won't eat?"She came out of her thoughts and looked down to the delicious pizza covered with white creme fraiche and lobster tails."I don't feel like it.""That dish is worth a thousand, you'd need a year's savings to afford it."She frowned. "I wasn't that underprivileged."'There's no use ar
I shook out of the memory and tried to regain consciousness of the environment I was in. "Liam?" Liam smiled as if he had won. "Yes, it's me. I was sent to comfort you in your trying times." He had the bravery to take another step but Elliot wouldn't let him go past that. "And you left?" Elliot was obviously confused about our conversation, hoping I wasn't hypnotized cause I acted like one. He wasn't taking any chances of letting me go towards him. "I was called from above. Every angel has to obey the call." He walked closer to us. "Stay back, Liam. I'm warning you," Elliot growled. Liam looked at me. "This is your last chance Alexandra, come to me." "And what makes you think I will? I will never go with you!" Those last words rang a bell in Liam's head. He tightened his fists. "I was afraid you'd say that." Liam ran towards Elliot to give him a blow but Elliot and Lexa teleported from the mansion to a l
Elliot's POV Lot slowly circled Liam, with the tongue in his hand, waiting for the first strike from him. Lot always did that. Liam was also playing safe and waiting for me to act. Since demons weren't nearly as patient as angels, especially not Lot, he attacked. Lot sped and pounced on Liam. His mouth watered as he tried to use the weapon to remove Liam's eyeballs but Liam used his strength to push him backward as he jumped back on his feet. Liam ran to Lot as two swords magically appeared in his hands. He pierced the swords through Lot's skin. Since Lot had no emotions he could not feel the pain but I was. I could feel my heart pumping out of my chest and my ribcage breaking. Lot grabbed the swords from the sharp sides and broke them. I looked at my hands as blood spilled from them. This was the problem with Lot, because he couldn't feel a thing he would cause excessive damage to me. Lot grabbed Liam by the shoulders, piercing his claws into
Lexa's POV I had a terrible feeling about staying outside. It felt as if every evil spirit in there was watching me. I had no control over my magical powers and Elliot wasn't by my side, as much as I wanted him to be. I felt like a naked girl in the middle of Timesquare. I needed somewhere to hide. I looked around me and found nothing. The trees weren't going to be of much help. I was afraid of walking into the darker part of the forest, especially when I was an angel, but it was the only choice I had. I left the ruins of the cottage and the spot Elvador once sat and went towards the inner part of the forest. It was darker, eerie and more concentrated with evil spirits. I could hear their cries and feel the pain of many lost unsettled lives. I had a feeling that once I entered, there was no coming out. I took my chances and pushed my way through the thick barks of the trees. My goal was to find somewhere safe and not too open for anyon
"The reasons your eyes sparkle just like a light is being shined, on two emeralds that are beautiful, is that you are the true meaning of love and beauty. I will be longing for that gentle touch, and that your warm embrace. If you are near me, I yearn for the hug, I am longing for that everlasting kiss when you lay next to me. Your personality is unable to be matched. These are the reasons you are perfect, and have been perfect. I will never stop loving you. The easiest thing I have ever done, is listening to your singing heart. A song was heard by my ears, my eyes sang along. The words were muttered by my lips, cuddled in your arms, I heard the whispering of charms." Alexa turned around. Her bright white angel glow decreased reasonably. "It took me hundred years Alexa but I memorized this poem just for you. Waiting for the right time." Alexa's eyes turned from golden to her normal eye colour. Liam stepped in front of Alexa and glared at him. "It is done. You cannot
My heart started to race when I saw his fingers move. I sat up on the bed and held his hand, while checking his temperature."His temperature has gone down."Nora stood up from the bed, cleaning her hands up after a job well done. She carried the cloth and bucket of water that she used to cool Elliot."Inform sir I was here. I'll take my leave."I wanted to object and hold her down but when I tried to move, someone's hand grabbed mine from behind and pulled me to the bed.I was in shock but when I opened my eyes to see who I was on. It was him, with the most beautiful red eyes. Red eyes? That can't be right.Elliot pushed me off him like he just saw a ghost. I got confused. I checked the room for Nora but she was already gone."A-Alexa? It's not possible."Oh, he was surprised to me. That was a better explanation.I crawled up to meet him on the bed and sat on his legs. He looked like a lost little puppy.I unbutt
Hey guys, this is not a chapter so mind me naming this as chapter 46. I can't make this an additional note chapter because my editors will not accept it. So here I go.Goodnovel had a nice start and I'm still very connected to it and you, but I've decided to look elsewhere since it seems it's incompatible with me. I know I've been unfair to you guys but I've been quite unfair to myself as well.I went ahead and took the pain to publish on other sites. So far, I've tried it on eleven different sites. It's still under review for comtract, but from now, I will be only be posting chapters on those sites.It really hurts me because my best readers are here but what can I do. My editor is very unresponsive and they're not to giving me what I've worked so hard for. If you want to get the rest of Marked by the Devil, that's what I'm calling it on other sites, and also my new Pen Name is Beth Miller, not Evie Brooks.It has a new cover but the blurb is the same. You can find it on these listed
Dedication: Naquita H and Kamarley kê Lexa's POV Yes, I was staring at something in Wendy's house. But what was I staring at? Anyone curious would want to know. I could see Rica's room all the way from my room clearly. The door was closed but not locked, and I was sure that it had all the answers to my hundred and one questions. Wendy had been called at her office, she said it was a fashion emergency. According to her, a major French actress, I didn't know of, wanted a dress made for an award show she wanted to attend. And if that was true, then that was meant to be a big deal for them. Wendy was called to manage the celebrity's dress, since she was a top designer, and she didn't think twice before cutting her leave short and rushing to her office. Ana accompanied her because she wanted to make a report on it, or something like that. Rica had been out since yesterday. She said she went to meet with some old friends of her and the last I saw of her was her disappearing into
Hey guys, I just want to drop another 'clearing' chapter, I guess. I really appreciate these three people that have made my day this month, Mhiz Grace Pretty, Naquita H and Kamarley kê.And guys, how come none of you are leaving any reviews? Do you not like my book that much? Would you please leave something to cover that embarrassing review of me trying to promote my social media. 😂 So please, let others know how much you like Alexa and Elliot.Also, slow posting? Don't worry about that, it's just that a major national examination is commencing which can get me in college 😳 and it might delay in me posting but as I said before, you don't have to worry about it.Do you think the coins for each chapter of our book is too much? Let me explain something to you, I provide more words in a chapter and that means longer reading. Goodnovel expects me to make it 1.5k or something but as a reader myself, shorter chapters annoy me. Because I want more info in a go. I hope you understand what I
DEDICATION: I dedicate this chapter to 'Mhiz Grace Pretty' for dropping two gems on my book this month. You are amazing 😘 Elliot's POV The book was magnificent. Just as I imagined. Once I reached home I had already prepared myself to open it but I had to savour the moment of having the first magic book in the world. It was created by the first ever sorcerer, Gwydion the first. He had created this book of spells for the future generations of sorcerers but sorcerers and sorceresses got extinct ever since the plague. A wizard, Alizon, translated the book in such a way that any magic-possessing creature would be able to use the book effectively. The book was said to be lost after the first war of the Seven kingdoms. But it wasn't, Alizon hid it in Udhanba, one of the Seven kingdoms, in an abandoned temple and was killed right after that. At least, that was what the story said. Years after years the world become what it is and Udhanba, a great large kingdom got divided and the temple
Lexa's POVWe came out of the restaurant, in big smiles. He was smiling the most. I tried my best not to free or open myself with him but those two hours showed a different side of his.The better side I thought he never had.Liam was born and created an angel. He told me many tales about heaven that made even me want to go there.He said that Angels grew like children on earth. They were taught the ways and traditions, and their behaviours would determine what category of angels they would fall into.Fierce angels became warriors and guardians of heaven, ready to fight at every instance of their life. Super-curious angels with a detective instinct were given missions to do on earth that had to do with mystery.God did know everything but sometimes sin had to make him look away. Smart angels were sent to earth to uncover things or retrieve things, anything that was under the command of God, they also fixed things.Most angels became guardian angels for people, good or bad, but when th
Lexa’s POV In the entire world, he was the last person I was expecting to see. So many questions ran through my mind and I was wondering what he was doing here. It scared me to my spines that he was staring right at me. I looked away for just a second and looked back, to find him few steps closer to me. He was walking to me. I freaked out. He was the one that tried to return me to heaven but... he was also the one that freed me and let me go to Elliot. I didn’t believe that he was truly a bad person. He let me go, against his King's commands and to say, that meant a lot to me. During all my thoughts, he eventually reached me. My friends had noticed I was no more by their sides and turned to me, only to find me with a guy. As typical friends, they stayed back and watched what would happen. He smiled. “Hi…” He looked short of words and I was as well but not as much as him. “Liam, what are you doing in Paris? Here?” I didn’t mean to sound surprised but I was. “I’m here on…” He bit
Elliot's POV 'Dragon Tamers, that's a terrible game.' I hadn't said anything to Lot since the incident and I wasn't planning to do so anytime soon. I cursed Satan. Why would he pick Dragon Tamers?! It had been a long time since demons played Dragon Tamers. The game was deadly and bloody. I wished it was any other game picked. I knew the history of the game and the important details but still I was in the library, making more research on the book named 'Dragon Tamers'. The simple history of the Dragon Tamers. It was a game that was played by the early demons. These demons were the most vicious and terror setting creatures. The demons in this time were nothing compared to the early demons. The demons of nowadays just partied but when the early demons were released from the Pandora's Box and joined Lucifer, the world was a horrific place to be in. The Dragon Tamers was a game made by the demon kings in which the other demons played it as a form of entertainment to the King. Later
Lexa's POVWe had been served our dishes. I was thankful I chose what I chose because when I saw my food, my lost appetite returned.Drinks were served with our food and we started to dig into it."It's been a while , Lexa," she said, eating to her heart's desire.I smirked. "Just a few months... But you changed so much."She smiled. "That's what money can do."She fluttered her eyelashes and moved her food slightly away then gave me a sneaky smile. To say the truth, I was confused at the sudden change in her position. Her movements didn't give me an idea of what she wanted to do until she talked."How are you and Elliot?" Wendy's smile grew wider and my smile grew lower. Even though she talked more now, she was still observant as she always had been. She noticed my dull face. "What's wrong? Did-did something happen?" It was hard to stop the tears from coming out so I used my cold palms to cover my hot teary eyes. I took a deep breath and cleared them. "You had a fight? Is everything
DEDICATION: TO Kira Eyler. I am dedicating this chapter to a wonderful person for leaving a gem on our book. Thanks so much! Elliot's POV I was not patient but I could wait till the next day before visiting my kingdom. It had been a long time since I had seen it, but I remember it vividly. It was recently that I realised how much freedom I had given Andras on my throne. I chose him because I trusted him, but even the best demons can't be relied on. I felt like a fool. My love for Lexa had taken over me. I couldn't concentrate on my kingly duties. But I didn't regret falling for her. I would have my way and I would have both Alexa and my crown. I was picking out clothes when a knock announced itself on the door. I didn't want to answer it but it was the scent of the senior maid so I had to. "Enter!" She hesitated but entered my room. She came empty handed and not in her uniform, so it gave me the idea that she wasn't here to serve me gin or give me upda
