"What about that woman with the child? Can me and my "soulmate less" men rail her? She is alone anyway...doesn't matter if she is a traveler staying here." "She is a guest staying here. She might have a soulmate. Please, let this place stay a normal inn as long as guests are here." The old man said he sounded desperate. Make sense. This place was not under any clan, sect, or village. That's why it has no rules or someone to look after it. No one can give them justice so these rogue men with no mates are targeting them. Slowly they are getting bold."Shut up, old dimwit." The man said. Her eyes perked up when she heard shuffling as if he was standing up. She felt Neel's grip tightening even more. The child must be scared by that man's gaze."Please, leave her alone. She is with a child." The old man said grabbing the man by his arm but he harshly shoved the old man away making him land on the floor with a loud thud. She heard his wife scream as she rushed up to her husband lying on th
"E-Evandros Linya?"She whispered under her whiff, her pupils throbbing as she blindly gaped at the dusty ground. She came to her senses when she heard Neel's cry. With her hand on the ground, she helped herself to her feet but before she could run to save him, he was already clutching her legs.She took a deep breath of relief before kneeling on her wobbly legs and hugging the life out of the little one who was sobbing uncontrollably. She caressed his trembling back to soothe him.Seems like he wasn't alone.He was with his men since she can hear them as well. What is he doing here?Perhaps, she was right. He is Sina's nephew.From all the populace in the world, why does it have to be him saving her? She kissed his cheek. Her disguise was gone the moment the man who was holding onto her mouth was lashed away from her. She rubbed her eyes to dry her wet eyelashes as she stood up on her weak legs and forwarded her arms towards him so that she could pick him up. She slightly flinched
Just how much can one take?One after another misfortune. You're not getting over one when another one strikes and gives you another wound which takes decades for it to stop bleeding.Similarly, just how much more can she take?She felt like she was flying in the air.She can feel air caressing her unconscious and lifeless body as she can barely move.What is this?Why does she feel like she is flying?She is in the air?She jolted awake but waking up didn't make any difference because she couldn't see. After being fully mindful she stayed in that position for a while, trying to comprehend where she was until she finally realized someone was holding her in their arms and that she was in the sky.Memories came rushing like a flash as she inhaled a familiar wet forest-type scent. Her orbs throbbed in realization and in an instant she grabbed his throat. "Let go." She rasped in malice. Gnashing her morals as she stared at his face which she can barely see. "You know I can't die with this
"I would love that as long as it's you." Silence. None of them spoke any further. Staring into each other's eyes but one was unable to know the emotion of the other one.The air caressed their hair making them dance as the tip of her hair flew forward, caressing his face. He slowly closed his eyes moving forward. He wanted to hug her and feel her warmth, inhale her scent...the sensation he has been lacking and yearning for so many years.He slowly opened his eyes, staring at her green hues. Can she even see him? Slowly raising his hand, he brought it near her face but just as his skin touched hers, she harshly pushed his hand away, passing him a glare. He clenched his hand in a fist and lowered it."Megara Daybrace. You are coming with me. " He said, his voice laced with authority. He knew she wouldn't come with him just like that. He needs to make her."I won't stay under your shackles." She rasped at him. "Then let me make you my queen." He said, his eyes caressing every inch of
"The Lord is out of Seclusion."The rumors echoed in every corner of the clan until Evandros confirmed it himself by showing up in front of his people. A loud chorus of voices encircled the clan as everyone bowed in front of their Lord.Megara pulled the curtain back in front of the window once she was done looking outside. It was three in the afternoon. They reached the clan at 4 AM. The clan was sleeping while the manor was fully active, busy welcoming their lord who surprisingly arrived in a very messed up condition. Megara along with Neel didn't show up in front of his servants as Megara didn't want anyone to even have a glimpse of her existence so Evandros ordered one of his men to take her to his secret chamber.Once she pulled the curtain down she turned around to look at the hazy silhouette of Neel who was busily palming and punching the air, almost copying her yesterday's actions.She sighed and licked her lips.She was extremely uncomfortable in this mansion. Her heart was
"Soulmate? Are you sure? Wasn't this soulmate thing you're doing as well?"She questioned and he halted for a second, it wasn't surprising if she got the hint of it after whatever transpired with her in the history. "Yes, I was the one who did it. You shoved me away because of that and in the end, none of us ended up with a soulmate." He said and her lips trembled in disbelief. Although she had her doubts now that he confirmed it, she couldn't hold it anymore. She raised her hand to smack on his face but he grabbed her wrist before he could receive it. "I did wrong to you, you did wrong to me. Why are you still running behind the fate which we ended long ago?" She asked, her wrist still in his hand until she felt his grip tightening on her wrist. He said nothing and abruptly pulled her closer to himself. His hand leaves her wrist and slides up to her hand as he intertwines their fingers together."First I loved you then I loathed the moment I met you and now I just...I just don't kn
'Once I've got my sight back, I will vacate this place and you will not pursue me.''Remove this soulmate mark just like you imprinted it on us.''You cannot touch me... remember you despise it.'These words of hers kept him on edge. They weren't getting out of his head even for a second. In his sleeping robe, he paced around his room.Despite whatever occurred between them...despite what she did and how he took his retribution afterward...despite all of this just what was he hanging on to?Apologizing?Can something like that even be said now?If he never forgave her for what she did then how can she forgive him for what he did to her?What they were, what they become, and what they are now. These three pillars of devotion, animosity, and remorse have been a part of him but what about her? Did she also feel these three sentiments? This heart and this mind...are perplexing him.All these years he wished to see her again without knowing what he would do if he ever saw her. If she wasn
These tears cannot even describe what distress in their chest they were feeling.Both of them were entangled in a difficult crisis but the first one who picked herself up was Megara Daybrace. The wounded warrior, the former master of the Front Liberation Sect. A disciple of an honorable master and the killer of Jasmine Linya. There was a lot to characterize about her. A lot more to unfold.The screeching sound of a hawk fell on her ears but she paid no attention to it. She was in her own world, in her own sentiments. After standing up she sauntered inside the room, closing the window behind her. Leaving the screeching hawk behind. Megara slowly ambled towards the door, she wanted to go outside but by the time she clutched the knob of the door, she realized that Neel who was dozing on the bed might get frightened by not discovering her presence around Plus in this dark She will be entirely sightless.So with no other thought she turned around and inclined against the door, sliding dow
Everyone flinched upon his unexpected entrance. The man that barged into the room had a presence so demonic, they wondered how strong he was to manage that immense power of his. Evan's eyes went on the five disciples and slightly widened. His gaze traveled to Megara and Neel who seemed fine before moving back onto the disciples. His gaze narrowed on them, making all of them flinch.Megara sensed him and slowly turned towards the door."You..." A rough whisper, no, it was almost a growl that left his lips when he slowly took a step towards them. "They...don't have any ill intention." Megara immediately blurted out calmly before he could lash out at them. Seriously, what were they even thinking before coming here? To be determined was good but Evandros could snap their neck in an instant if he wanted to.Or maybe they were bound to give him a hard time if their powers were combined."If they don't have any ill intention then what brings them to my mansion?" He asked, walking up to them
"Let.go.of.him." Megara almost growled. They weren't aware of him being mute that was why they had their hand on his mouth. The metals around her shook, if she was in her full power the metals might have pierced all of them by now. Neel's little muffling sound continued and the room had a strange eerie silence to it until she felt a familiar aura.A very familiar sense of presence around her. Her ears perked up even more and she contemplated whether to take that name or not but before her lips could part and that name could spill out of her lips, she heard it."Master." A female voice invaded her ears.Her eyes widened upon hearing that and while she was just processing little footsteps approached her and hugged her legs. She immediately ran her hand through his hair and took a breath of relief. "Are you okay?" Megara asked in a daze.Once she felt Neel bobbing his head only then did she begin to process whatever was happening around her. These people...could they be?Before she knew
*a week later*After Lenora was introduced to the clan as the first lady, she was still bound inside his personal chamber. This caused chaos in the personal chambers. Everyone questioned why she was introduced to the clan instead of Megara who they thought was the real mother of Neel.Evandros kept the leash tight enough to lower the chaos. Lenora didn't object and went along with whatever Evan had to order. His black magic prevented anyone unwanted from entering his personal chambers. He doubted Ezekiel and couldn't help but take extra precautions.Megara sat on the edge of the fountain, the sound of water and Neel's little footsteps combined together created a peaceful environment for her. A little hum left her lips. This little human with life was the only one who kept her moving with this blindness. She didn't know what she would do without him."You seem to be enjoying yourself." Megara said with a soft smile on her face, Neel's quick steps on the ground was telling her how happy
A delicious food tray was placed in front of them on the table as they sat on the cushions. The working maidens from his personal chamber eyed the couple sitting on the cushions. The woman with silver stripes stared at the table almost blankly while Evandros on the other hand kept glancing at her.Once the delicious food was settled on the table, the maidens bowed and left the room, gently closing the door behind them since Neel was sleeping on the bed."Shall I wake him up for lunch?" Megara asked and he finally snapped out of his trance of staring at her. He looked at Neel sleeping on the bed. First, the little one looked so comfortable to disturb and second because Evan wanted some alone time with her."No, he looks deep in sleep and quite comfortable. He'll eat once he wakes up." Evan said and before Megara could say something he immediately grabbed a plate and began telling her the dishes names that were served and not so surprisingly all of them were her favorite.She took a lit
"So where is the mother?" Ezekiel asked out of nowhere but Evandros came prepared. "I heard you threw your favorite concubine out. Does that mean he is not from her?" Ezekiel asked further."He is not from her but one of my favorite ones," Evan answered, not disclosing the matter of kicking her out. "So are you gonna marry her?" One of the high-ups asked and the hall fell into an eerie silence. No, he wouldn't marry her. He won't marry unless the bride is his soulmate."No, I won't," Evandros answered with authority."But isn't she the first lady already after birthing your son? Even if you don't want to marry her, she naturally takes that position." Another higher-up stated some facts that couldn't be denied. "That's true but I refuse to marry." He said and somehow everyone deep down knew why he refused to marry.According to them he still hadn't moved on from his dead mate, he never would."That's not very convincing. In our culture, we usually marry our soulmates and if we don't ha
"I was so shocked after hearing the news." Man one said, surprise still plastered on his face as he spoke. "Yeah, me too. It came out of nowhere." Man two added."But whatever it is, I'm glad that our clan finally has a new heir now." Man one said, looking towards the grand terrace of the dark mansion. After so many decades, Commoners were once again allowed to enter the territory of the mansion. They all stood on the huge ground in front of the mansion. Many were standing outside the mansion's territory as there was no space inside for them to stand. Everyone was staring up at the terrace in anticipation. The guards guarding the terrace from all the corners when a tall silhouette enters under the sun's glory. It was Ezekiel Linya back in his real form showing up in front of his people after decades.Everyone bowed, not heartedly but they had no choice but to bow. Under his command, the clan sure did grow but it also came to become one of the most dangerous clans existing on the la
His smile turned into a smirk when he realized that she was wet."Agh," Megara was completely taken aback by his actions. One hand between her legs and one in her mouth was overwhelming for her. She knew she wouldn't be able to go into this any further. Her heart was beating so fast, she could hear it beating in her ears. Tears pricked the edge of her eyes and before she knew she was lying back on the table with her legs still dangling down from the table. She grabbed his wrist and pulled his fingers out of her mouth, slightly coughing. He let her pull his hand out of her mouth. He understood it was too much for her, considering it was her first time, he couldn't be rough with her so he continued to rub her between her legs watching her whimper and squirm.His Megara was right before him, whimpering and trembling as he touched her passionately down there. He thought he would never witness such a sight but all he needed was a little courage to grab her and here it was. His dream...his
"I'm going to take you...now."Megara was taken aback by his words. She doesn't know what got into him but she definitely knew that he was at his breaking point. "N-Neel is-" Before she could complete telling him her concern, he spun her around with his hands still wrapped around her waist and gently made her sit on the edge of the table."Just relax and let me." He whispered against her ear and she felt his warm yet strong presence moving away from her. The sound of curtains moving fell on her ears. He was pulling the curtains in the middle of the room that hid the bed from the couch area. Since it was one of his harem rooms, it was made just like this.She heard his footsteps approaching and she felt herself going tense. Absurdly, she never thought about such things let alone practicing them but to think here she was sitting all tense in anticipation was a punch to her determination to not give in to him.He put his hands on either side of her lap on the table and bent down to her f
"Mmm," Megara was left utterly shocked when he kissed her. The sound of the door closing and locking had her eyes snapped open again. Her hands went to his chest, she wanted to push him but something within her restrained her hands so she just stood there, letting him devour her mouth like a deprived lover. His one hand was tangled in her hair and the other around her waist.He pulled back, a string of saliva attached between their lips as they breathed heavily. He didn't even let her breathe properly and began to plant open-mouthed kisses on her neck taking her breath away. "Ah,""You taste just as I remember." He whispered between the kisses, his hot breath and wet kisses against her neck made her legs go weak. He even remembered her taste."Mmm, fucking delicious." He groaned, licking her neck up to her jaw making her legs shake as a shudder ran down her spine. A sinful moan from her lips ignited his already unleashed beast.Her breath hitched as he spun her around and pinned her a
