AlexisMy heart was racing abruptly and i was suffocating. My lungs were burning when I gasped for air but my windpipe seems to be blocked. I rushed to the balcony and felt relieved when the cold blow of air passed through my lungs. This sudden accident, how did it happened and why? How did I dream when my eyes were opened? Was it a glimpse of a memory? Maybe that was my memory of the past? It was so intense that I subconsciously set the hall on fire. And the worst, Stefan knows that I have powers. What will happen now? First Elsa and now Stefan, I am afraid my secret will get revealed to the king as well. What am I supposed to do now? I can't run away or escape, or just leave this whole place and live somewhere where no one knows me. The trauma of finding out that I was an orphan and no whereabouts of my biological family, wasn't enough that I had to deal with these new issues.I kept breathing in and when I felt a bit calm, I turned around and went back to my room. Suddenly, my ey
AlexisIt was a beautiful day, if you were keen enough to look at the world outside, however, it took the mind of someone different to find out that it wasn't actually a beautiful day, just a normal day with different hues in the sky. I wondered how little things can change someone's perspective.But if you ask me, my perspective doesn't change because I know nothing has changed and it never will. It was the same day with a different shit to deal with. I was pissed when my eyes met with a brown pair of orbs. His big specs hanging over his ears and eyes darted at me. My night was wasted and my day started with awkwardness. My head was throbbing but he planted a smile on his face and greeted me politely."Good morning, Alexis. How are you?" I still recall the day we met and his eyes were cold but I could see him getting much friendlier and gentler. But why was he here?"Karl, what are you doing here?" I asked him instead of taking his greets."Oh… I came to check if the hall was furni
StefanStomping away from the hall in frustration, I barged inside the room and slammed the papers she handed me on the table. That was so annoying. She purposely did it. How dare she? All this time, I was suffering alone and found someone in her, someone I can call mine but she rejected me. She doesn't feel anything for me.Why, why Alexis? That girl who was supposed to be a human and hated me, now she ended up being a creature that I don't know. Infact, she doesn't even know who she is? But then, I remembered that conversation she had with father at dinner that night. She said that she lost her parents and memories seven years ago.Seven years ago, I lost my mother too. That storm which destroyed many villages and towns, it could be possible that she was a survivor. She also admitted that she has lived with her aunt since then. That woman must know something about her. I need to see her.Because Alexis is in danger. Yesterday, before the finishing team arrived to recover the damaged
StefanThe silence of the night was admired when it was the loudest in the dark. Sitting inside a warm house and sipping on a delicious coffee, I won't say that it would be one of the best nights out for me.Her eyes darted at me and observed each of my movements. The moment I saw this woman, I knew she wasn't ordinary at all but that doesn't mean she wasn't a human. She was blessed, just like her name, Solace.After the last sip of the coffee, I put the cup on the table and smiled at the woman standing near the couch."That was delicious, does Alexis make the same coffee?" I asked her."Heir of the Donovan family, I don't understand why are you here? Surely you are not here for a cup of coffee…" her suspicion rose on me."And that's what I call, humour mixed with intelligence. Of course, I am not here for a coffee, after all…" I started while looking into her eyes.She grabbed the tray and put it in the sink. It was late at night and she must have been tired from work but I will apol
StefanSilently, I went inside the castle premises and was about to take turns for my wing when I accidentally bumped into someone. I growled and glared at the person and was stunned to see him roaming in corridors at this hour. I never liked him. Though, I hated all the humans but he was worse than them all. I don't understand how he made it to become managing assistant of my father."What are you doing here?" I eyed him with suspicions.He was shocked and pale, I guessed he was roaming here on purpose but what could it be?"Prince Stefan, I was serving my duty at this hour. But I am amused to see you here. Were you out the whole night?" He crossed questions the same way instead of answering me properly."It's none of your business. And I don't want to explain things to a human like you. And next time if you questioned me like that, that will be your last day, Karl Ernest. And I remembered that your service timings end after ten o'clock so, what exactly are you doing here?" I crosse
AlexisIt was an unusual day for me. Something was happening behind my back and it was spinning me. Stefan was out from the castle premises for the entire night, it was weird because it never happened before. He wasn't the person who usually hung out in bars and clubs, mostly staying inside his room. If he went out for the night then it must be something impy, urgent or bothering him to an extent. He looked tired and pale. What could it be that made him do that? What was running in his mind? Apart from that, what bothered me the most was Elsa. She appeared totally strange today. It seemed that she was in a bad mood for some reason. The way she was speaking about her brother wasn't normal. She seemed quite jealous but what he did made her jealous?The way she glared at him in the hall wasn't usual, she curled up her fists tightly and her knuckles were white. It was like she was suffering through some pain. There was so much mystery around this place. Everyone had toxic relationships
AlexisMr Donovan roared loudly and demanded an explanation for the condition of her daughter. He was utterly pissed and more than him, it was Stefan. He went to the other side of the corridor and calmed a crying Anna.I assumed that it was because of their toxic relationship. They have bad blood but why? I don't know and to be honest, I am not willing to know either. Not that they are demons, which worries me but I don't want to be a part of their conspiracy. Donovan had preferred his daughter than his son, maybe she was her favourite but what did Stefan do that made his father so distinct with him. Still, not my business.Mr Donovan stood in front of me and glared with his black eyes darted at me. His gaze was enough to tell me that he wasn't here to entertain anyone. His daughter was on death bed, probably she wouldn't survive, the chances were low. What should I expect from a hurt and angry father?"Miss Martin!!! Elsa was in your room when this happened, right?" He asked me.My h
AlexisI went back to my room with a heavy heart. There were hundreds of questions and doubts running through my mind and to be honest, it frustrated me to the core. Just to remind myself, I recalled how peaceful my life was before I entered this castle and met demons. First, i am no longer a human, not sure if i was born with powers or i possessed through some way. Second, I don't have any memories of my past, I don't know who my parents and family were, how many family members were there in my family? Do I have any siblings or not? Third, I survived the disastrous fire even after getting severely burned. Maybe because i had powers earlier which suppressed when i lost my memories but if i had such powers, my family must have too. Then how didn't they survive? Maybe they survived but did all of them lose their memories too? Why didn't they look at me?Fourth, the portrait hanging in Stefan's room. It was haunting and cold to my bones. The exact image, the undoubtedly details and sim
THE WORLD WE WANTED Alexis It was a beautiful morning, when the sun shone from the transparent curtains and spread its warmth on me. It was a hectic day yesterday and i was tired. I don't remember when i fall asleep. I didn't wanted to get up so i snuggled a bit more, lying next to my husband, Stefan. Suddenly, i realised that he wasn't in the bed and i panicked. He never left me unattended, even in my sleep, than how did he left me alone today? Before i could get out from the bed and look for him, he entered in the room with a tray in his hand. There was a delioys aroma of coffee filled in the room with my favorite Choco chop cookies. "Happy anniversary, love" he greeted me with a kiss on my lips and put the tray on the other side of the bed, the he went down to touch my swollen belly and kissed it too. "Good morning, little one. I miss you everyday and i wait everyday to meet you. When are you coming to see your parents?" He was talking to the baby like a child. "This is stu
Alexis My world shattered and torn apart when i saw the love of my life dying in my arms. my ears didn't believed what my Aunt Sol said and i don't want to believe it either. It was heartwrenching moment for me. I was willing to do everything for him, how dare he left me like this?"How did it happened?" I asked myself while combing Stefan's hair, putting his head in my lap, i cried. Aunt Sol carried me and patted my back, she was trying her best to calm me down. "Demon's poison. It is a poison that only a demon king carried in his talons. They use this poison to defend themselve. However, he used it against his son and lethally wounded him." "It makes no sense… how dare he? How dare he took something so precious from me? I will kill him and tear him apart like my heart. My heart is bleeding and crying… last time when i fall in love, he betrayed me and now i fall in love with someone i deserve, he was taken away from me. Why???? How gave him this authority?" I was screaming like a
As soon as the doors shut behind my back, the coldness around the area made the hair raised over my body. The room was well lit with the fluorescent lights placed on the ceilings. My eyes wandered to the last corner of the room, where there was a small reception desk, but no one seemed to be present at the moment.I made my ass relaxed on a vacant metallic chair; I haven’t breathed in silence since I got back to town. Everything appeared to be hazy and clustered.My sight slid to a book holder, and I took out a fancy magazine from it. I wondered why a magazine is doing in a place like this? Is there something that I Am missing?The door opened, and a petite blonde came out. Her gaze fell on me and then onto her desk. I was looking at her pensively and waited for a command.She turned to me and asked, “you must be Niana?” “Yeah!”“You have to wait for a while, the director is busy in a meeting.” she stated while smiling like a clown.I nodded and looked back at the magazine to pass th
AlexisThe air seems to drop as the temperature rises, and the moon sparkled in the dark sky where nothing could be seen, a demon's activities survived. Elsa was in her full form and she was ready to take a fight. I tried not to put abfight with her but she left me no choice. I wish I could change things but it was too late. I couldn't help her anymore but now that i know what i have to do, i will fight with my whole life for him.Stefan, i hope you will come out victorious, i know you will. Now that i have asked Aunt Sol to hide under shadows and kill those demons who will try to attack me, all of my focus will be on Elsa.She was the most dangerous demon here. I have to take her down, no matter what. Her fleshy teeth appeared and she no longer looked like she used to look like in her human form. I drew my sword and ready to fight her. We both ran toward each other and began fighting hand to hand. She attacked me but i dodged them and able to put a few punches on her head. It infur
StefanHeavy breaths and disturbed dimensions, i brought him in the hell of mine that i had been through all these years, specially after i lost my mother. That woman loved a wrong man, not a man but a demon and suffered throughout her life. I want to do so many things for her but unfortunately, she left this world so soon. But i haven't forgotten anything, and will not forgive anyone for this. My father, the demon king might be my father but he never played his role as a father in my life. No excuses need and no remorse required because today, i will avenge her death."So, this is the little hell you have create for me? How sweet, my dear son but i tell you that this is pathetic as you. Wasted my time when i had killed that bird and tore her wings apart." He hissed because i didn't let her out hands on my girl. "Not that easy as you thought, dear father. Maybe we should drop this tag of father and son because we need had any relationship. So, Gabriel, let us get through this and en
AlexisMy mind was still traumatized after defeating and killing Natem it was difficult to kill someone i used to love but when where was love when he killed my brother and commrades? He never loved me. He used me for his gain, and when he failed to prove his worth to godfather, he was furious when i become the protector. I have lost my borther and he won't be coming back. But i can still save this world, humans and my own people. Azeal always warned me about him but my heart and my mind was blinded by the love i had for him. It all shattered today. I have ended that chapter forever.I got up and rushed to save Stefan and Aunt Sol. I hope they would be done while i faught Nate. The fumes of the signal were faintly visible and i followed the trail to find them. I flared my winds and fly up in the sky. I found them fight Gabriel and Elsa. But strength was unmatched.Before they both got hurt, i blew a solid punch on Gabriel's face which made him tremble down the stair case. The whole c
AlexisIt was dusk and soon the demons will be active, we need to hurry up and caught Gabriel before he start a war. Although, we have destroyed the laboratory but i doubt that this wasn't the only place where he kept his army. He learned from his previous mistakes and become much clever. We ran through the corridors, saving our lives when the buildings started to collapse. Stefan was an inch away when the floor beneath him broke and he fell. Luckily, i grabbed his hand in time. I retrieve my powers because i need save it for later. Years ago when my destined brother warned us about it, i didn't listened. I wished i had one more chance to meet him, seek him. "I got you…" i dragged him up and we ran till we found a safest spot. "Why the hell whole place begun to collapse?" He asked in frustration."We destroyed the root of this horrible place, the entire plant was supposed to die. It was dusk and demons will get their powers. They will become more active. We need to find Gabriel an
AlexisThere was no time left to look for clues because we already know what Gabriel wanted in first place and at what extent he was willing to go. Before he would be back, we need to rush into the laboratory and destroy the capsules."Stefan, i want to tell you something…" i halted and decided to talk to Stefan."Yeah…""When i found the laboratory, i saw Elsa among the capsules. I wanted to save her but i fell unconcious and my lost memories revived. Now that i know what am I and what purpose i had in my life. I will stop Gabriel no matter what." I told him before proceeding to take him to the laboratory."What? Elsa was one of his experiments? Now that makes sense why he is always making human women pregnant. He was creating his army this way. Those who survived, he put them under experimentation. That evil bastard." He was furious and slammed his fist into the wall."Stefan… you will be hurt… Don't do this." I grabbed his hand and looked for injuries. Although, the wound on his kn
Alexis (in flashback pov)There was no time to bury Gaia's body so I had to burn it because the demons might feed on it. Raquel was devastated and angered, he has already made his allegations against Nate. Although, I knew he wasn't lying but part of me wanted it to be a hoax. Nate is my lover and he will never do such a thing. And hey would he do it? This mission was everything he wanted to prove his point. And it still makes no sense why he would kill Gaia. They never spoke to each other before, hardly a casual talk. But I can't share my feelings because I love him. And that's when Azeal's words reconcile, does he love me? Of course, he loved me. Otherwise why did he keep this relationship this long? Part of me wanted it to be a lie when he would get exposed. I was afraid how I would cope once he was found guilty.On the way, we killed many demons but failed to locate the laboratory. Raquel refused to leave my side when I asked him to split because he was afraid that I would get as
