Niles scowled and in a disbelieving voice said“Milady, you must jesting!” she looked at Simran's calm expressions. She smacked her head.“This plan of yours is impossible! Who knows if Iona is even alive? There is a one-in-a-million chance that she is alive. It's ridiculous to even think about her.”Simran put her plate on the bench of the carriage and took Nyles' hand in hers.“Don't be scared Nyles. Even if there's a one-in-a-million chance of finding Iona, I will take it. Raul will send his forces to find me, but he can never kill me. And do you know why?” there was a small frown on her forehead.“Because according to the laws of Wingx, he has to marry me to be the king. There is no way he can harm me, and there is no way I will let him harm you. so relax.”Niles removed her hand from Simran's and burst out“Relax! Do you know the kind of power that man wields? He is a Fae prince for God's sake. He is a Fae Prince for God's sake! My family and I are going to be called Fallen forev
Macilleus stared in Simran's sapphire eyes and said,“It will take another week for us to get out of this realm. You can thank me then.”Simran was so grateful to this man. Her lips curved in an innocent smile. This man had been so loyal to her. Maybe she should ask him to stay with her. Loyalty was something she had always valued, and something which she craved because there was none in the world she was in. Only Nyles.“Where does this road end? Which town?” she asked. Once she's out of this forest of Wingx, she would leave... disappear.“Quaint little towns dot the periphery of this forest. The nearest one is Oraid, it's the territory of Busan,” he replied.“Oh!” she bit her lip, she would be leaving him after that. She would simply slip away with Nyles. Moreover, she wondered as to why Manton would want to stay with her. She had burdened him so much already. He will want to stay away from her.She changed the topic,“I heard you joined the ranks of the Kingdom as a soldier a year
Everyone around her became absolutely silent.The leaves of the trees were bejeweled with frost, shining yellow, blue, red and gold under the grey skies. Although the mist rolled along the ground, she saw fallen logs damped with moss littered around. And somewhere from deep inside the forest, she heard a buzzing... a call... a powerful energy... it thrummed... Simran shivered.When she was only seven, thin papery wings had unfurled for the first time from her back.Transparent with silvery mesh of pulse lines, forking along the delicate bone that arched at the top, she had spread them slowly under her nanny's guidance, and as she spread them, the pulse lines had flickered like lightening. Her nanny had squealed in pure delight. But that was the last time it had happened. Raul had slashed the bone of her left wing with his sword, permanently damaging it. The pain had left her unconscious. When she woke up, her nanny was gone... forever.Three years later, her parents were dethroned and
Raina had caned her so hard her skin had peeled off. The pain was excruciating. She hadn't screamed that day, but she wanted to scream now, and she did. With every strike of the cane, she shrieked. She wanted to kill every one of them. So much pain...“Noooo!!” she screamed and was covered with sweat despite the coldness of the room she was shackled in. She couldn't take it anymore and started kicking against the chains.“Release me!”She felt choked as Raul held her head inside a barrel of water. She was drowned. Raul was holding her head inside a barrel of water. She gasped for breath, she wanted to come out, she wanted to shout but her voice didn't come out. She was not able to move. A tremor passed through her body and with all the force she could muster, she got out, gasping for air, screaming. She opened her eyes, feeling nauseated. Her arms were pinned to the sides as strong, muscular arms and legs surrounded her. She was pressed firmly against a hard torso.“Shh..” He said in
The rogue Zor'gonian began chanting some incomprehensible words.The sky turned dark, lighting flashed and magic circles began to appear around Simran, Manton and Starlight.“The Loveless Man desires no love.. such a pity, for you shall now be sent to a place you shall search for love but not find. Manton Vale will be sent to Earth and will be constantly In Search of Love.” a godly fatherly voice spoke from the sky, and then Manton Vale vanished. It was as if he was never there.“Simran Dotchius! You pride yourself on being lovable and to love in return. Now you shall be sent to Earth. Your new life may destroy your pride.” the same voice spoke and then Simran vanished in the same manner Manton did.“Starlight Kazer! You shall continue to accompany the Loveless man in his search for Love.” just as the voice fell, Starlight vanished.The sky cleared and a melody was played across the sky. Then a voice began to recite an epic;“There are none who can say for certain if truly the superna
Ray's Point of ViewWhen Davis mind-linked me and told me that Inara was awake, I thought that my heart would explode with happiness.She was awake!My little girl was finally awake.“What hurts, love?” I asked her as I placed another kiss on the top of her head.She let me go and looked up at me."Am I dreaming again?" she asked quietly, her voice laced with fear. “Am I dead?”I furrowed my eyebrows and glanced at her.“You are not dead, love," I said, looking back at her. “You are not dreaming. This is real. You are home.”She took a deep breath and looked at Davis.“You are home, baby,” he said, leaning in and placing a kiss on her lips. “You are home.”She breathed out in relief and gave us a small smile.“I'm sorry," she mumbled. “I wasn't sure anymore. I wasn't..."“You don't have to apologize, love,” I said as I caressed her cheek. “It's okay to be confused. You've been asleep for a while.”“How long?" she asked quietly."Five days, baby,” Davis answered.She took a deep breath
Davis's Point of View"I can walk,” Inara said with a hint of amusement in her voice.I looked at her and rolled my eyes. As if I would let her walk on her own and miss the chance of touching her and feeling her close to my body.Inara chuckled and shook her head.I opened her bedroom door and walked inside. I placed her on the bed gently.“What would you like to eat, love?” Ray asked her as he walked in behind us.He placed her bag on the floor and looked at Inara."I'm not that hungry," Inara said softly.“You are eating, Inara," Ray said sternly. “You heard Doctor Wren. You have to eat."The fuckers have been starving her. She lost a lot of weight, and she needed to eat often. Wren told us not to force her, but we needed to make sure that she ate enough food. Small portions, five times a day. That was the rule, and I would be damned if she broke it. She needed to get better. I needed her to get better.“Okay.” Inara nodded. “Can you make me lasagna, please?"She grinned at Ray, and
ReeceI was sitting at my desk listening to the reports from my assistant Noah. He was highly efficient at his job, which meant that the reports always lasted longer than necessary. He could convey all the information in less time, but there was no telling what the extra info would provide in the long run.He reported on the restless independent wolves living in the next city over. He informed me that the pack whose territory bordered ours, but had significantly less land than us, was causing a bit of a stir with talks of a possible attempt to overthrow me and take my land and people. There was talk of a rogue coven of magic users, witches and warlocks, that had decided to settle in our area. We haven't seen the likes of them in nearly twenty years, according to the elders and the record books.Noah was so thorough and good at his job that I had considered making him my Beta, his grandfather had been my father's Beta after all. But there was all that unpleasantness that his family had
