2024-10-29 19:42:56“You are late!” Avo gives me a loud shout without glancing at me, while still working on his flower bed.
I have never seen him talk so loudly. Worried that I have displeased him I start rambling trying to explain what happened.
“Yes, yes, sorry for that. I didn’t mean to… I…”
I stop explaining myself midsentence and look back at him.
“You are teasing me, aren’t you?” I ask Avo, who has abandoned his flower beds and is now standing in front of me with a telling smile.
He continues to stare at me with his warm affectionate smiling eyes for a while before he breaks the silence.
“You seem better. And not just look better, but you feel better, stronger…… different even.”
And I just give a coy smile in response to that. I know I have gained some weight & I don’t look as frail as I use to.
But I am guessing Avo is just politely

Promised to the Tyrant The Attack
Oh god! Giovanni is hurt, there is so much blood. How the hell did this happen? “Omerta Run!! Now” Giovanni shouts and that is when the man first realizes that there is someone else there and almost turns back to look at me. Despite bleeding heavily, Giovani uses this distraction to his advantage by climbing on the man’s back. He has both his legs wrapped around the man’s neck and is trying to strangle the invader with his legs. But the man is fast, he pushes himself back to get rid of Giovanni, falling on the ground on his back. Resulting in all his weight & impact of the fall getting anchored on Giovanni, who takes another hit on his already bleeding back & ribs. Luckily, Giovanni is fast as well, and despite the fall he quickly rolls over changing their positions, now he is sitting on top of the man’s chest. The new position gives him more control of the fight, and without wasting any time he lands some very impactful skull shattering punches on th
Promised to the Tyrant Physical Education
My training starts today. I can’t say how I feel about it, I have never been a fan of physical force, but since I am now living with the Agostis, I more than ever need to know how to protect myself. If I am being honest, the ‘protect myself’ bit won’t be happening anytime soon, all I want to do is ensure that I do not put others in danger in any event. I do want to know how to defend myself, but I know it will take a while since I have never been involved with any physical activity before. I am not worried about the training, I will work through it, it is the trainer that concerns me. And speaking of the trainer, I do not want to be late on my first day. I am supposed to train before others, it’s already 3:45 am, good thing I am 15min early. There is no one when I enter the training ground, so I start stretching my body knowing the basics from the gym at school. As I bend down to touch my toes stretching my calves & thighs in the process, I make a note to
Promised to the Tyrant The Party
I reach out for the water, and just when my fingertips graze the water surface, I hear an earth-shattering howl. And even before I turn to see where it is coming from, I somehow know that it’s Luci, the large wolf-like dog I met the other day. I know that howl. “Omerta, Omerta. Wake up, girl. You are so dead tired, you slept on the ground.” I am barely able to focus on what Giovanni is saying. “I have been looking for you everywhere, you had me worried. Come on sleepyhead get up, it’s already time for dinner soon. Wake up.” I open my eyes reluctantly, trying to adjust to the twilight sun. As I focus my vision, I am a little confused, I was just at Lake Pergusa a few seconds ago, wasn’t I? But here I am still lying on the ground near the forest, on Agosti's estate. Was all that a dream? But it felt so real, it was definitely, real? “Come on get up, Avo has called us for dinner?” Giovanni said while offeri
Promised to the Tyrant The Party 2
I should feel great, ecstatic even.I am clad in a piece of art for a dress, embellished with perfect hair and makeup, attending a celebration in my honor. Who wouldn't be happy? I should be delighted. Instead, I feel skittish. A little over a month ago, I would not have even dreamed of this scenario in my dreams. The girl who has worn hand-me-downs all her life, and the only party I ever attended was the one where I was given away, sold off. Life surely has taken a bizarre turn, I think looking at the people Avo is introducing me to. I am grateful for the Agostis to accept me, and to find people who have only showered respect and care in the last month. But right now I am all nerves, and uneasy with all attention. The fact that most people have been looking at me with pure contempt doesn't help either. Being the only girl standing with the Agosti inner circle, which comprises only men, doesn't make you Ms. Congeniality. I can't forget the look on their faces when I walked in wit
Promised to the Tyrant The Kiss
Lucifer A woman undressing is a turn-on, helping one undress is even more so. But what about robing one, instead of disrobing her? I could have never imagined in a million years that zipping one up will be as arousing as zipping her down. My cock had responded at the first sight of her bare flesh. Call me a pervert, but the little preview of her delectable ass had me salivating. Though my intentions were fairly gentlemanly when I had pulled her aside to cover her up, take her away from those pryin
Promised to the Tyrant Oh Luci!
He is a monster!!How dare he talk to me like that? What did he say that I wanted his attention? But he was the one who kissed me. How could he?I hate him! I just hate him. But I hate myself more for being so vulnerable, for believing in that moment, for letting my emotions get to me, and for not saying anything when he was standing there insulting me.I am furious about that, letting him demean me and not answering him back. I don’t want to be that girl again, who ends up becoming everyone’s punching bag.Also, I know I am not at fault, and I will not take the blame for this. He has no right to talk to me like this.I am furious, and I know I will not be at peace till I do not confront him. It’s decided then, I am not going back to my room, till I give him peace of my mind.I start walking in the direction in which he had gone, towards the forest. It’s surely not safe at this time, and I do not even know if I will be able to find him there, but I don’t care.Strangely, the forest is
Promised to the Tyrant Garden of Artemis
I am lying flat on the ground, with my face a couple of inches away from the brown animal, his brown eyes staring into my green ones. Everything and everyone is still. It is oddly quiet, the silence of the night only broken by a terrifying howl. My eyes open into the morning light. Was I dreaming? No, I was not dreaming. I was recalling the events of last night. It was all real, all of it. The inhuman physical strength, the murders, and the transformation... They are werewolves. There I said it. Not that saying it makes it any better or believable. This is just so hard to believe. These things do not exist in real life. There is a reason it is called fantasy. I am a bag of mixed emotions. Terrified; confused and, more than anything else, I am hugely fascinated.After all, whatever I know about werewolves is from the teen novels and movies. I know after last night that they do not change on only the full moon. But they are so many other things that I have no clue about. Like, can
Promised to the Tyrant The First Werewolf
“I understand it’s too much to take at once, to imagine that everything you have known about your history and present is not the complete truth, that the world is more than what you imagined. I think we need to start from the beginning. You need to know how we werewolves came to be. The FIRST WEREWOLF. “Wow!! Just one, I thought, ‘blessed ones’ were in the plural.So, it all started with just one person? But I do not have time to clarify as Avo narrates the story of the first werewolf.“This goes several millennia ago when humans first came to be. Apart from animals and your flora and fauna, the earth was also inhibited by beings called the ‘Old Gods‘.““Old Gods?““Yes, the old Gods, or what mythology calls the Titans & Olympians. You have surely heard of them, Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, and the list goes on. These Old Gods were deities of unique elements that represent nature and life, like Poseidon was the God of Sea, Ares was the God of War, and of course, Zeu

Promised to the Tyrant New York (2)
Omerta's POV"I am no father of yours." My father shouted."Don't you call me that?"I would be lying if I said that I did not wince at the words which he had repeated a million times growing up. But this time, they drilled deeper, making me realize how true they were.He was not my father; surely he never acted like one.And in that very instant, the man standing in front of me went from being my father to just Lucio Romano.Lucio sounded right; it definitely sounded more apt than Father.I was still deciding on the nomenclature when the phrase 'puta' made its way to my ears."Must have become their puta," Maria muttered under her breath, disgust written all over her face.A loud growl erupted from behind me, silencing the entire room, but before Draco could make another move, I warned him off, not wanting him to get involved. I did not want anyone to fight this battle for me; that was the whole reason why I had not brought Lucifer with me. "Again, I am not sure why you are surpris
Promised to the Tyrant New York (1)
Omerta's POVI had that same vision again and again for the last thirty-six hours, so much so that that was all I could see, hear, or think about. It marred every breath of mine.I knew something bad was going to happen. The voices in my head were restless, though they were not very helpful either.All they told me was that what I had seen would become reality soon enough—not now, but soon enough. However, they were not able to flush out any details other than that. Which meant we had to travel to New York. That was not a problem since we were already due to visit New York to meet with my father, especially after we met with Sameera.My premonition had just preponed our plans. So, the very next morning, we took the very first flight out to New York. I was nervous as hell about this trip. First, the constant buzzing in my head because of the vision had me on edge. I was worried about my mother and eager to meet her. But the thing that had eaten me out was coming face-to-face with
Promised to the Tyrant Normal Couple
Omerta's POV "And now I am going to fuck you so hard that you will not be able to walk for weeks." His words did it for me, sending me over the edge and making me come apart as I tainted the whole room with the scent of my orgasm. The delicious knot in my stomach burst in one go. My muscles contracted and relaxed at the same time as my body savored the experience of a ballet of tension and release surging through it. My eyes fluttered shut, unable to contain the buzzing that was radiating through my body. I was exhausted and energized. It was like I was in heaven and hell at the same time. And I knew he had only just begun with me. Locking his eyes with mine, Lucifer ran his thumb over the smooth skin around my bikini line once again, sending sweet tingles to my sensitive core and my heart into overdrive. I could not decide if it was his look that had my panty wet or his touch. Every nerve in my body was on fire, yearning for more. And I literally lost my head when Lu
Promised to the Tyrant I love you!
Omerta's POV My emotions were running all raw and bare as I ran up, taking two stairs at a time. Sameera's words kept playing in my mind over and over again. He was created so I could be born. I was the trigger for those inhuman experiments that Lucifer and Set had to go through. Another stream of tears trickled down my cheeks as I recalled what they had to go through with Shaira. The ear-shattering screams, the anguished expressions, and those blank looks haunted me. He probably hated me after knowing all this, and he was not wrong. I would hate me too. I did hate myself. I was at the center of all his pain. Not only that, I was at the center of everything that was going wrong. I couldn't help but feel a heavy weight of responsibility on my shoulders. The realization hit me that I had unknowingly become the catalyst for all the chaos that was unfolding around us. Another sob left my mouth, and I lept toward the bed, lying down on my stomach. I clutched the pillow to m
Promised to the Tyrant More from Sameera
Lucifer's POVThis witch continued to spew nonsense regarding the origin of Lycans, but I could barely keep up. All my focus was on my Stray. Her racing heart, ragged breath, and the sweat that had broken through her skin were proof that she was not taking this well.I could taste her fear, her anxiety, and the fuckton of negative thoughts going through her beautiful little head. Wanting to soothe her nerves, I wrapped my arms tightly around her, pulling her close while my fingers drew circles on her arms. As I held her against my chest, I could feel her relax a little in my arms, but she was still too tense.Her emotions were still all over the place. I knew she was completely overwhelmed by the whole prophecy sh*t.To be fair, it was fucking too much, especially for a girl who had no clue about this world until about three months ago. And now she was being thrown headfirst into this fucking chaos.Truth be told, I did not give a flying fuck about any of it. Avo had tried many t
Promised to the Tyrant What Sameera Knows (2)
Omerta's POV I could feel my heart in my mouth as Sameera's words sank in. My legs wobbled from the pressure of whatever was yet to come. The message that my mother had left for me, about the darkness within me came to the forefront of my mind. Only the darkness within will set you free. Embrace it with all, as you embrace thee. Was the darkness within me the cause of all this? I just had a bad feeling about this. For a minute, I regretted coming here at all. Why was it important to get more answers? Lucifer and I were together; why did we need to complicate things more? I knew it was a naive outlook, but I would have preferred being with Lucifer somewhere, instead of listening to all this. Any day, I would take denial over the weight of her words, and the misdeeds that were happening around me. "It all started with the goddess Athena, right about the time when the blessed ones were formed. And while I am sure that Augustus knows this story better than I do, as my prerogative
Promised to the Tyrant What Sameera Knows (1)
Omerta's POV All of my anxiety about sharing a room with Lucifer amounted to nothing, at least not on our first night. Lucifer did not come back till late; in fact, I had no idea when he came or when we went in the morning, because he did not tell me either of the times. All I knew was that something warm and hard was wrapped around me for most of the night, but it was gone by the time I woke up in the morning. There was no Lucifer and no note. It was like I had the whole room to myself. My deep-rooted insecurities started making their way to the surface. I could feel the negative thoughts skirting around the periphery of my vision, but I was adamant not to let them get to me. I reminded myself again that he was just stuck with the stuff going back to Enna. He wanted me here He had moved me into his room. And like he had said, we were in this together, and we were in it for life. Quickly getting ready, I headed downstairs with the book Aaron had given me. It was the one t
Promised to the Tyrant Living Together
Omerta's POV "Don't even fucking think of lying to me, Stray!" Lucifer warned me as he stood all tall and large in that tiny washroom, fuming to fury. He was beyond upset. "You were here with her. Fucking all alone! Do you even know what she could have done?" Lucifer continued, scolding me as he took my hand back in his, pulling me out of there. Alright, he was worried, all right, and he had all his reasons. "I am fine; it was nothing. She did nothing." I tried to calm him down as I showed him that I was unharmed. "You have no idea what they are capable of. All witches are not like that fucker Aaron." It was good to know that Lucifer had let go of some of his inhibitions concerning Aaron, especially since Giovanni had marked him. When we stepped out of the restroom stalls, Avo and Aaron were waiting for us outside. So this is how Lucifer knew about her. Did the wise one know that Aaron would come here? She was super precise about Lucifer's timing as well, which meant
Promised to the Tyrant Her Words
Omerta's POV "So, what is the plan?" I heard Aaron asking when I stepped out of the guest house. "We will start from where we left off yesterday," Avo said calmly. "She was at the fair yesterday, and she made that known, so that is where we start from." After I had spotted the wise one yesterday, we systematically scanned the whole area, only to come up empty-handed. After sundown, Aaron and I could not even feel her presence anymore. We thought it would be easy to scout her out, especially since the one quick glance I had gotten at her told me that she was the spitting image of me. It was almost like looking at my own reflection in the mirror. Maybe I was confused; maybe she just had red, curly hair and green eyes. One thing was sure, she barely looked like an elder. Truth be told, the possibility that it could be my mother had crossed my mind. I had never seen my mother's photograph, but I knew she looked like me. "Is Lucifer not coming?" Draco looked at me, expecting me
