Giggles and laughters could be heard from the booth as they all sat round the table.West was enjoying herself,her departmental head,Mrs Carmine bought hot pot while the guy who had a crush on west ordered drinks for everyone.The girls made merry as they drank from their glasses,downing the beer and refilling it.West sipped from her beer from time to time as she didn't want to get all tipsy to meet her husband.The guy who ordered the drinks name was Atlas,he paid special care to west as he helped her open her beer bottle and help fill her cup."Thank You" west flashed him a sweet smile of appreciation and he nodded without taking his eyes off her even after she turn to take the small glass cup and down the beer."Still want some?" He asked again and west shook her head at him and just then one of the female colleague voiced out."Awwwn Isn't atlas so romantic towards our dear west??" She giggled and sent a meaningful grin at west.Atlas smiled cheekily without refuting her while we
Mr Gabs fumed in anger as he banged his hands on the table in frustration laced in his face "Shawn what has gotten into you??"Shawn bowed his head a bit but he didn't look any more remorseful for what he had done."I was suddenly humiliated in the social cycle functions and not allowed into the dish launching of the Harvey's " Mr gabs dragged on his hair when his mind wandered back to earlier when he arrived at the venue but was told that Mr Harvey doesn't allow there to come in that they have been restricted and won't be allowed into any events held by the Harveys in the future.He knew he hadn't offended Lincoln Harvey to be punished like this.If he was truly restricted and banned by the Harvey family from any of their functions, he would be the cause of laughter for the whole country, he wouldn't be able to hold his head high as he was banned from the upper class before he could even enter."Dad remember you were in that same study room when Lincoln Harvey came to the East's fami
It was midnight when two pairs of eyes widened all of a sudden, eyes pairing at the ceiling of the room.Lincoln turned to his side as he used his elbow to support his head, his eyes landed on the girl who was lying on the couch.His eyes turned blood red as he focused on her sleeping position.He smirked as he saw the way she slept, her head was on the couch as she folded herself in the small couch so she could sleep well."Stupid." She was supposed to know better that sleeping in that position could make her body ache by tomorrow when she woke up.Lincoln gazed outside the window, it was a bit chilling and dark outside. so he got up from the bed, bringing his bony legs to the slippers on the floor, he inserted his fingers in and slowly walked towards West who was sleeping soundly but a little uncomfortable since she couldn't stretch out her arms or legs.Lincoln stood close to the couch for a while, observing her before he suddenly bent down and scooped the little girl into his arms
West was a bit flustered as she had intended to quickly turn and leave the arena but it was already too late as the guests turned to look at her the very moment she walked in.West cursed under her breath as she scanned the table, her eyes rested on the man who had a blank face but from how the people looked, it seemed they were in a form of Misunderstanding.Lincoln gazed at West who had suddenly barged in, his expression didn't change much but he had only hoped that she would have probably slept more or come downstairs later.Camy stiffly sat there as she lowered her gaze from West, Feeling a bit awkward and spiteful.West swallowed a bit "Did I intrude on anything?" She asked calmly and lowly while sharing looks with Lincoln.Conan had a blank face as he was just staring at the plate before him, with no appetite to eat."You do not intrude on anything as long you live here!" Lincoln said calmly as his brown eyes shone through the room. West nodded and walked towards the table and
Lincoln swept his gaze on Camy before turning to his father, Conan."We have to talk! Tell your old lady to leave!" Lincoln said with a cold look.Camy bit her lower tongue as she didn't want to be told twice before she left.Soon, silence reigned In the room for a while, Lincoln back on the chair, and same did Conan."I have a question for you!" Lincoln said calmly and Conan swallowed as his heart drummed faster."Go-go ahead" he tried to stabilize his shaky voice and not tremble too much."Some days ago, Something happened!" Lincoln began as his mind temporarily wandered back to when He made patatas bravas for West.".... I didn't feel anything when I saw blood so close to me" Lincoln finished his statement and Conan widened his eyes in shock."Your nature didn't surface??!!" Conan asked in uncertainty."West cut her finger and I helped bandaged the wound, all through I felt no urges to suck on it, and after that...."Lincoln's gaze returned to Conan's eyes "I noticed some red veins
West was gazing outside the window, deep in thought as her mind wandered back to Erica and her mom and their previous encounter."How table turns..." West mumbled lowly while she dipped her hands into her bag and her fingers caught the necklace again.West sighed as she roamed her tiny and slender fingers around the necklace for a while.She looked outside again and that was when something hit her "Sir this is not the way to Cliff Cemetery! Why are you taking this route??"The driver showed a shallow smile as he gazed at West through the rear mirror "Don't worry madam, the usual route is experiencing a very critical congestion at the moment, so we are going there while using the shortcuts, don't worry...." His smile deepened meaningfully "You'll be safe with me!"His last statement made West frown but she didn't think much of it as she just sighed, letting the driver do his work.She didn't want to cause a form of disturbance or distress to him so he could concentrate and not get them
"We have to quickly leave, this wench lady called someone with the name Hubby...might be her husband " The other man who had intruded at the last moment and knocked West out, voiced out.When he had knocked down West and she fainted in the car,"Let's get her there before master comes for her!" He had said to the driver so he could assist in bringing West to their hideout.But he felt something was wrong when his hands grabbed the bag on the unconscious lady's lap and his hands searched through it and he saw that her phone was on call.He gritted his teeth as he ended the call as fast as lightning.He cast a look of disdain at West as he roughly pushed her into the car and West lay on the seat of the car but her hand was sprained.The driver got into the car and same as the man drove into the woods to their hideout......Lincoln's gaze turned cold as he gritted his teeth in fury.His mind wandered to the men and women who were of the same nature as he was.Them...."They'll all p
At that delicate moment, Shawn felt a soft tap on his back.His face was vexed as he turned to scold the intruder..."How the hell.." A striking blow landed in his jaw which made him seat on his butt, his face became swollen all of a sudden.Shawn wasn't given the chance to register all that was going on when the intruder dragged him up with his collar.The tight grip made Shawn cough out blood, the intruder mercilessly flew another hot blow to his mouth and blood gushed out, the powerless Shawn felt like dying at the moment.West was just confused as she watched this scene, she felt as if she was watching a movie scene.Lincoln flung Shawn across the room and Shawn crashed into the wooden boxes at the corner as he spat out blood, he felt his body on fire.Lincoln's eyes blazed with hatred, anger, disdain, disgust, and every other negative thing.He felt walked on.As his anger boiled, he forgot everything else, every other thing that matters as the only thoughts In his mind were...
"Let the heavens and the earth bear us witness. The heavens as executors, the earth as eye witness to this peace treaty between Vampires and Witches" King Cassian shouted, addressing the crowds, the king was standing in front of the hall's balcony, the crowds were massive, all from every part of Hagrid, in the middle of the crowds was a space that maintained the barrier, vampires at the right-hand side while the captured witches were on the left-hand side.The witches were not as many as the number of vampires there, but they were many.They were told about this treaty, the oldest wizard there, the father of Miguel Cervenka led the witches, and Miguel was amongst the crowd of captured witches and wizards.Some were not in support of this peace treaty but they had no choice but to swear the oath of allegiance after Cervenka,Miguel's father, summoned their goddess and The Vampires prayed to the heavens and their past kings."This peace treaty shall be passed down from our generation to
"Do not spite my dead son, I won't accept that!" Hugo growled."How did you think your son died?? he was working for a witch, I was there to witness it and Kyle and Mateo were also there" Rhysand rolled his eyes "That is to show that some vampires who think have egos are sort of worthless without pride....but that's not what I am here for" Hugo staggered backward while the king gazed at him with a piercing look "What do you suggest we do Rhysand""Let's form a long-lasting treaty that will bond the two sides so they can never break the agreement "Lord Drogo cleared his throat "How are we sure this will work? We can't control them with just written words on a scroll that can get torn over time"Viscount Magnus Lestat twitched his mouth a bit "That's why he suggested a huge wall that can stand as significant agreements between the worlds and also an oath of allegiance""I think it's a good idea then" Lord Drogo acknowledged.Some also whispered amongst themselves in agreement on the m
Walking into the hall of King Cassian Von Vendela, Rhysand and Mateo entered to see the lords gathered there.King Cassian frowned "Rhysand why did you hold this meeting and come late?" He asked.Rhysand had called for this meeting a while ago when he got to the palace and now it was commencing."My lord" he acknowledged, not bowing as he walked straight to the front of the king.Lord Drogo was seated in the very first seat close to the King's throat, lord Armand,lord Molocbai, Viscount Magnus Lestat, Lord Vittorio, and Emiel Velkan were there with so many other lords.They were all wearing blue robes with golden embodiments on them, their hair was long and close to their waistline, and they backed it in a bun.Rhysand's gaze wept to Prince Ollivander who was sitting on the right-hand's throne close to the king. Sensing his gaze on him, Prince Ollivander adjusted nervously on his seat while averting his gaze elsewhere.Prince Thibor was sitting amongst the lords, sitting close to the
"Am I the only one who heard that??" Rhysand asked ridiculously and Mateo and Kyle walked over to the bed "That sound came from her""Call the Physician Kyle" Rhysand bubbled in delight.Soon the Physician Was checking Amren, she placed a hand on her neck, and her face remained bland as she concentrated on her diagnosis.Rhysand and Mateo including Kyle couldn't seat still, Rhysand had both hands folded on his chest, his eyes remained on the physician, waiting for him to make the news.Rhysand felt his hands were covered in sweat as he sat there nervously, after a while, the physician turn to look at them."Well...Prince Rhysand""I'd appreciate it if you go straight to the point" Rhysand cut through as he asked, his eyes resting on Amren's body."Yes, Was it just us or...did it happen? we heard that sound from her " Kyle backed up Rhysand's words.Mateo remained quiet as he just waited for what was to come.The room had its tension as the air hung up, It was as if it was closing in o
"I was thinking of letting the king know of Rhysand's passing, it's been five days now" Kyle suggested as they both walked into the house.The living room was quite as usual as they made their way to the small stair and ascended it,"Just keep mute Kyle" Mateo groaned out in displeasure, his face was stoic as he knocked on the door but didn't hear a sound.Kyle was standing behind him with a pouty face "Let's just go in, maybe she's probably sleeping" Kyle concurred."What if she's dressing up?" "She would have answered" Kyle argued back."I do not have the time to bicker or banter words with you" Mateo interjected but Kyle had already held the doorknob and pushed the door open.The smell of smoke first hit their nose before their eyes scanned the room.Such enough, Rhysand was still in the bed but Amren was nowhere in sight.Their eyes scanned the room as they made their way into the room, Mateo laid his eyes on the table and they quickly walked over to see the items on it, Kyle mad
"Prince Rhysand hasn't returned to the palace for days now" King Cassian Asked Hugo who nodded."Did he perhaps find out that you know he did that?" The king inquired."I sent the body to the old Physician my lord," Hugo said quietly, his both hands folded "She did a test on his body and found that he was indeed killed not by vampire claws but by a witch"King Cassian frowned "you mean, Rhysand didn't kill Caine? But a witch?" Hugo sighed "I do not know how this whole thing came about, Rhysand has always hated Caine to the core and that's the very reason he had Caine banned from the human world and sentenced to Crege where Caine saw death face to face " King Cassian relaxed his back on the chair "I know Rhysand isn't that stupid to do that to you or Caine, he can get Caine punished not killed" "My lord, then who is this witch?" Hugo asked."Feyre?" The king asked instead and Hugo shook his head "We have destroyed the whole clan of witches and their community ""Then we have no othe
Just like that, Amren was living in the house Rhysand had kept her, his body laid on his bed as they used incense to keep his body warm.It has been two days and he's still not responding or making an attempt to wake and the hopes within Amren crumbled even more.The doctor has confirmed that he was dead as he was stabbed by that witch's sword that contains deadly magic and poisons.But somewhere within couldn't settle for that, she had always seen him as a strong man that couldn't fall, he was untouchable and strong.He couldn't die.Amren wept close to his body "Rhy....please wake up and I promise you won't be hurt for a second time, I know how to use my magic now and I'll protect you, your mom is no more so she can't hurt you, I failed you.... I failed to keep you safe but rather brought you closer to your death, I'm sorry" Her eyes were red and swollen.Soon, Mateo and Kyle came in, they both looked thinner just like Amren who hadn't been able to eat anything for days as she kept
All strength in her faded off, her soul lost its very essence, Amren's heart clenched on her chest, her blurred eyes looking at the lifeless man in her arms.Words couldn't form in her throat, the pain numbed her that she had no actions left to perform, no words to speak out, and all her brain cells were too short to process a thing.The pain made her lips quiver, her hands grow cold, and Amren felt like a lost thing.The whole room bore tension and Amren felt the cave was closing in on her, her face twisted in pain before she burst out.All the pain she had been holding in until now, she let them out as her ear-piercing cry ran out of her throat, hoping for the cry to lessen the pain she was feeling in her heart.For it to reduce the weight of hate in her heart, and for it to cleanse the memories of how Rhysand died in front of her."Argh" Mateo and Kyle couldn't retract their gazes, their eyes numb as they turned red."Is that Brother Rhysand?? Mateo, this can't be true right? It's
"Have you discovered Rhysand's whereabouts?" Hugo asked the guard before him but he shook his head "Not yet."Hugo balled his fists "Keep searching and be more proficient ""Yes sir" he bowed before leaving to find Rhysand's whereabouts.Hugo's eyes narrowed to the far distance "I'll get you Rhysand " ••••Meanwhile, inside the cave, The once quiet place was now filled with tension, They had initially thought it was just Feyre but it turned out several witches were also there with her.Rhysand killed two of the witches with his bare hands but the others kept using their magics to outrun them.Amren Watched on with dread, her eyes following Rhysand's every move, alerting him when a witch was close to striking him, her heart drumming heavily in her rib cage, hoping he would come out unscathed.Feyre was rather aggressive, she had injured Rhysand a few times with the multiple blades sent his way, she summoned blades at him, and they pierced his chest, cutting him roughly but the part
