โ๏ธ CHAPTER 61 โ๏ธ Phoenix rolled over on the bed, expecting to bump into Axion's firm chest. With her eyes still closed, she reached out and felt the empty bed space. Not feeling anyone, she frowned and snapped her eyes open. Axion wasn't in bed and that made her spring up. Where did he go? " Axion " She called, climbing down the bed. She covered her naked self with the duvet and strode to the bathroom with sleepy eyes. A gasp left her lips and the sleep in her eyes cleared out the instant her eyes landed on the shattered bathroom mirror. Her eyes widened in horror when she saw the drops of thick blood everywhere. Her heart skipped and she ran out of the bathroom. " Axion " She called for him. Thinking something bad must have happened to him, she grabbed one of Axion's shirts and hurriedly put it on, dashing out of the room. " Axion! " She exclaimed, not knowing where to begin looking for him. She knows nowhere around the cottage, talk more of the island so where will she begin lo
โ๏ธ CHAPTER 62 โ๏ธ " Axion " The tears that Phoenix had been trying to hold back finally fell as she kissed his beast neck tenderly. Axion could feel his heart skip and his stomach spark. Even in his beast form, her touch still has an effect on him. Phoenix pulled out of the hug and gently cupped his face, caressing it as she gazed into his purple, scary eyes but to her...it wasn't scary. All she could see was the fear, anger, and disgust in them. He was sickened with himself and it made her heart pang. " Are you scared, love? " She asked as her thumb stroked his cheeks lovingly. Axion closed his eyes and nodded, letting out a low groan. " I'm here now, you don't have to be scared. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise " Phoenix assured and hugged him again. ร ร ร With the help of Corbin, Axion was transported back home. But he was locked up in the prohibited room and was chained. Glinda and Corbin didn't have any other option than to do that because of the animal and beas
โ CHAPTER 63 โ Phoenix's face clouded in unhappiness as she chained Axion back. She didn't want to but doesn't have a choice. It was morning already and that was mostly when Axion do go wild. She knelt before him after fastening the chain and cupped his face, gazing into his sad filled eyes with a smile. " You don't want me to go? " She asked and Axion growled a yes. " I don't want to go either but...I have to. I will visit you at dawn and we will spend the night together again, ok? " She assured and Axion nodded slightly. Last night was really the best for him, having his Phoenix sleep in his arms, and he wished it continues that way. Phoenix leaned and kissed him affectionately while he closes his eyes to relish the feeling of her soft lips on his. Breaking the kiss, " I love you " Phoenix muttered and got up, heading to the door. Axion's brows bent in a deep frown of disapproval and he snarled in sadness as he watched her head to the door. He doesn't want her to leave. He want
โ๏ธ CHAPTER 64 โ๏ธ What Corbin said made the Devil's anger reach its peak and he crushed the cup he was holding into ashes. The whole vibrated in his anger as he sent crucifying glares at Corbin who didn't seem to be affected by it. He was scared of him, not even one bit. But then to Corbin's surprise, a smirk crept up the Devil's lips as he was able to get a hold of his anger. " Corbin, Corbin, Corbin " He called, nodding pitifully. " What happened to you? Since when did you start to simp those two? I remembered vividly that you once wanted to make Phoenix yours. You daydreamed about her every time and...just merely looking at her was enough to turn you one. So tell me...what happened? " He was indirectly mocking Corbin who scoffed at his question. " I opened my eyes to the truth " He answered and that made the Devil frown. " I came to realize who my real enemies are and also, I realized that I only wanted Phoenix to get back at Axion, not because I loved her. It was mere lust and
โ CHAPTER 65 โ AT THE HOSPITAL Phoenix was resting on the bed with Glinda beside her, squeezing her hand reassuringly as they wait for the doctor to come back with the test result. Corbin was also present. The door opened and the doctor finally entered. Seeing the doctor, the tension in Phoenix only increased. " Doctor, what does the result say? " Glinda asked and the doctor passed the test result to her. As she opened the envelope, a smile crept up the doctor's lips. " Congratulations Miss, you're three days pregnant " She announced and shock went down Phoenix whose eyes almost popped out. " What?! " She exclaimed and the doctor chuckled. " I'm...pregnant? " It was more like a question as she stared down at her tummy. Glinda on the other hand was more than happy to hear the good news. She immediately hugged Phoenix. " Congratulations my dear. Axion will be more than happy to hear this " She chuckled happily. " How is that even possible? " Was the only question going on in Phoe
โ CHAPTER 66 โ Axion slowly opened his eyes and the first person it landed on was Phoenix. His eye beamed on seeing her. He was lying on a bed with Phoenix seated by his side and holding his hand while Glinda was standing beside Phoenix. They both smiled broadly seeing he was awake. " Axion " Phoenix flashed him a smile and he slowly sat up. Before he could even say a word, she hugged him. He was confused at first but still returned the hug. " I'm so happy you're fine. I missed you so much " Phoenix cried, placing a kiss on his neck. " What happened, momma? " He asked softly and Phoenix pulled out. " I understand you don't remember anything but that doesn't matter. I'd explain everything to you later. Right now, you need to get enough rest to replenish all the strength you've lost, ok?" She explained and he nodded without objecting. He was about to lie back down when Corbin entered. He had been standing outside, contemplating whether or not to come in. He was ashamed to face Axi
โ CHAPTER 67 โ " The King of all Dark Genie's name? Does he really have one? " Axion couldn't help but ask. Glinda and Corbin we're back from the library and had told Axion and Phoenix about their discovery. They were all having a discussion. " For this book to mention something like it, then he definitely does have a name " Glinda presumed. " Erm...maybe his name is Lucifer, I mean that's the common name for a Devil like him " Corbin chipped in. " I don't think so. If his name was Lucifer then he wouldn't be using the word 'Devil' all the time because it will be a lot easier for us to point out his real name " Phoenix reasoned and they all nodded in approval. " I think his name will be a simple one but it will be way more difficult for us to figure it out. Maybe we can try finding someone who knows his name or isn't there? " Axion demanded. " I think Medusa might be the only person who knows his name. She is his most loyal worshipper after all and also his woman but you know he
โ๏ธ CHAPTER 68 โ๏ธ The Devil erupted in a loud, hoax laughter making Phoenix shoot him a hard glare. " What the fuck are you doing?! Let them go, now! " She roared angrily. " Calm down, Phoenix. You aren't able to move because I said so. The instance you do, those spears you see over there will pierce straight into their head and...dead! " Uncontrolled tears flooded Phoenix's eyes as she glanced at Axion and Corbin. This is all her fault. She shouldn't have allowed them to go ahead despite her instinct warning her about the danger. Why didn't she listen to it? " Listen to me Phoenix. The life of your mate and that of his brother is in your hands. I might decide to let them go if you tell me what you're ready to give me in return. So tell me, how far can you go to save your Axion? " " Just let them go! Why won't you just let us be?! What have we ever done to you?! " Phoenix yelled angrily as her tears rolled down. " Mind how you talk to me, young lady! " The Devil thundered. "
๐บ EPILOGUE ๐บ Soon they were done bathing and dressed up. Axion was combing Phoenix's hair while she giggled still thinking of their baby's first kick. A knock came on their door just then. " I'll go answer it " Axion volunteered and left for the door. He opened it and there was Glinda with a tray of food and a smile on her face. " Good morning aunt " Axion greeted. " Good morning my dear. I made breakfast for you two " Glinda replied and walked in. " Tamara and Lola are back from the holiday I sent them. When I figured out who Medusa was, I had to send them away so she won't use them for her evil plan in any way. You can go visit them now " She strode up to Phoenix and placed the tray on the table. " Aunt " Phoenix beamed on seeing her. " How are you doing my dear? And the baby? " Glinda cupped her face. She has become a mother to Phoenix these past months. " We're both fine. It's just Axion. He has been acting like a dick head these days" She teasingly pouted and Axion gla
โ CHAPTER 72 โ The King of all Dark Genie slumped to the floor and let out a peal of painful laughter, not minding that Axion had stabbed him again in intense rage. He was giving his last happy laugh seeing as Corbin was lying dead on the floor next to Glinda and Phoenix who were crying. He was going to die for sure but yes, he made sure to ruin their happiness before doing so, at least now he can go in peace. Axion yelled in anger and jabbed him continually with the dagger, his tears rolling down without control. Even in his last breath, this beast ruined the chance he had with his elder brother. He is just bent on ruining him! They both were supposed to live happily ever after together and make up for those 27 years they were apart. Corbin deserved a second chance. He shouldn't have stood in his place! Now his elder brother died because of him and because of this heartless Devil. Who is going to call him little brother now? With all the rage in him, Axion stabbed him until he ma
โ๏ธ CHAPTER 71 โ๏ธ Pulling the dagger out, his cloth already stained with her blood, " Goodbye, Medusa. I hope to see you soon...back in hell! " He spits in disgust. With the dagger still dripping blood, Corbin extended his arm and the orb reappeared. And then he set off, resuming his search for the heart. ................ " Lucifer " Phoenix called out to the face of the Devil and his eyes widened in horror. And for the first time, he felt fear and his Golden heart started beating wildly. His name was his prestige, his honor, and hearing it from the mouth of a mere mortal was his weakness. It made him insecure. Since the first King of the Dark Genies began up until now, no one has ever known or found any of their names. So how did she figure out his name? How? Seeing the shock on his face, Phoenix snorted and glanced at Axion who was smirking. So his name was Lucifer after all. For once they thought that since he normally uses the title 'Devil', his name will be something diff
โ CHAPTER 70 โ FAST-FORWARD " To kill the King of all Dark Genie, you all need to go to the Lone Forest and find his heart. Inside his heart dwells all his power, his caged feelings, and weaknesses. When you find his heart, destroy it with the Golden Dagger. Doing so will render him to nothing but a mere, weak mortal...then, you can easily slay him with only but one strike of the Dagger into his chest." " But note...only a Dark Genie can find his heart and only a Dark Genie should strike him down with the Golden Dagger..." Glinda narrated in detail all that Narcissa told her to Axion, Phoenix, and Corbin who were all preparing and getting themselves ready for the battle ahead. Tonight was just the perfect time to end that Devil. In the Lone Forest, for the first time after 500 years, there will be a Golden Moon summoned by the Devil himself. This means the Golden Dagger will be more effective tonight. Meanwhile, in his dark cave, the King of all Dark Genie had reckoned
โ CHAPTER 69 โ Axion pushed Phoenix off and stormed out. He was fuming in rage and his was aching badly. He got to the garden and stopped, ruffling his hair in frustration. " How could she give our child to that Devil just that easily? What the fuck was she thinking?! " He yelled angrily. Crouching to the beach, he face-palmed himself and started crying. While still crying, he felt a hand on his shoulder prompting him to look up only to see Corbin standing beside him. He looked away, sniffing back his tears. Corbin stretched out a handkerchief which he reluctantly accepted. " Do you want to talk about it? " Corbin spoke up after a moment of silence. " Why did she strike such a deal with that monster? What is going to happen to my child now? " Axion blurted out. Corbin sighed and settled beside him. " Why don't you try to put yourself in her shoes? What would you have done if you were her? " He inquired. " She should have just let me die! It would have been better than ruining ou
