Wrist chained hair disheveled, dirty and messy white robe with mouth tied up by a black demonic pet. She wondered why he didn't use his spell to seal her mouth instead of going with the extra work of turning his demonic pet into a band just to wrap it around her mouth. It was straightforward, he yearned to make her look even more vulnerable.He walked in front of her with a stance, screaming superiority. Two guards followed closely behind her. She didn't know what she felt, on the verge of breaking down she followed behind him, stumbling on her steps now and then. Her lips quivered by the time they stopped in front of a certain black door.He slowly turned towards her, grabbed her by her wrists, and pulled her close to himself, his long fingers digging into her hip bone. She put her hands on his chest, pulling herself away from him, for him to only drag her closer to himself even more than before. She shook her head and tried to free herself of his grip, she struggled like a dying fis
"She is my soulmate."He said, his menacing gaze fixated on her pitiful face. He was enjoying seeing her condition but what annoyed him was her blank face and void green eyes. There was no resentment in them. Will she still not hate him after knowing he was the one who bonded her with himself through black magic? Will she still give him the same look?Why is there no hate in them?What does she hide within?Why does she not react?He just humiliated her.Exposed her to her lover.Yet...there is no resentment in those green pools.His hand under her chin, traveled to her cheek, his thumb stroking her cheek, green orbs staring right into the black ocean, not scared to see those hideous creatures inside it."Why don't...you cry?" He whispered but loud enough for her to hear. "Always trying to act strong, just give in and cry me a river already." He said, his thumb continuously caressing her cheek. She looked like she wanted to say something but her mouth was tied up.The more he stared a
"And that's why you deserve this."With her head low and eyes closed, she recalled his words which were replenished with so much resentment. She can't believe where she is now. The heart which once treasured her so much is now filled with so much hatred for her.In the end, it's the outcome of her doing.Only if she could go back...only if she could show him what was in her heart...but didn't she also betray herself? Struck her feelings away and embraced something which destroyed her, dragging him along.Which killed her dear master and his mother.She doesn't have any words to defend herself, there is no way to get out of the hole. Past cannot be recalled but wounds can bleed again.Not realizing when she dozed off, she found herself standing in a very familiar room. There was a small table in between with a buffer on its other side. Megara's eyes widened and she looked down at her hands, they were still chained and she was in the same dirty attire. She looked around and slowly start
With a long smoking pipe in his hand, Evandros stared at the man standing before him. The man was wearing a long black cloak with his face covered, only his eyes could be noticed. It was the exact man who was in the inn of the cross-sect squad. "I told you not to show up here," Evandros said, his gaze narrowed and for some reason, he was extremely agitated. "Not to show up? Why are you dragging this out so much? You need to let her escape otherwise your plan will go down the hill, dragging me along." The man said, his voice tense, holding a little harshness in his tone as well."Don't tell me what to do," Evandros said and sat up on the throne, throwing the smoke pipe away in irritation. His brows scrunched in frustration as he stood up from the throne walking towards the man who had the same height as him.He stopped in front of him."The plan will be carried out the way it was planned," Evandros said, staring into his eyes. "But I don't see the plan getting accomplished any sooner,
"I was getting bored...but then I remembered I have a thing to play with."Megara dare not look at him. She has gotten used to his harsh statements but that doesn't mean she doesn't get hurt. She might appear stoic in the face but deep down even she refutes her weeping heart.Afraid to bend down yet forced to kneel because of the guilt that rushes in her veins. In the end, she blames herself for everything. In the end, she failed to protect him instead of protecting him...she was the one who threw him into the dark ocean. But...would anyone understand what truly goes in that heart of hers? Would anyone ever listen to her? Believe her? The one who believes her is already suffering. Can anyone just believe her once? Can he listen to her again? Listen to what occurred. What she did back then...she knew it was her destruction as well as his but she was certain she would be able to protect him from the harsh world even if they didn't end up together in the end, not only she failed in h
"W...What are you doing?" She faltered in shock. Her lips parted in shock when the cold tip of the brush caressed her stomach, leaving a wet sensation of the paint behind. She looked down still in shock, he was using brown color on her skin. She looked up at him and shook her head.She was utterly confused.Why was he doing this?A gasp left her lips and she continued to shake her head. Too vulnerable to even struggle. She can't accept how weak she was at the moment. She bit her lower lip and turned her head to the left side, facing the pool, letting him paint whatever he wanted. Her eyes grazed the surface of the pool, steam was rising from it and roses were floating on the pool everywhere, so that's why his scent is mixed with the scent of roses, she thought and kept staring at the pool. She almost arched her back when she felt another cold line of brush caressing her skin, going in different directions and making her flinch, the move felt almost sensual. It was making her feel t
"That scoundrel." Zale hissed. His brows scrunched in anger as he sat on his throne. Caressing his beard with his fingertips he stared at the huge door of the hall. The masters of the Sect sat on either side of him, in their respective positions."News was sent by them through the spirit eagle." Master Shin said, gripping a small piece of paper in his hand. "They will take action tonight." Shin continued and looked at Zale. A furious scowl plastered on his wrinkled yet handsome face."That's good. They must save their master." Zale said and restlessly stood up from the throne. "And if they fail, will there be a war?" Shin asked and Zale halted. The battle was a big thing. It will not only disadvantage the martial arts world but will also deplete lots of innocent lives who have nothing to do with this world."No...No war." Shin, who was eyeing his partner with a sharp gaze and tense stance, relaxed as soon as he heard Zale's words. His shoulders relaxed and his hazel eyes softened. "
The strong scent of liquor filled the room. With a deadpan face sat Evandros on his throne. His hand resting on the edge of the armrest, his nails gripping the lion's face carved on it. "Why didn't you inform me about her disciples coming to her rescue as well?" He asked, the man standing in front of him arched a brow at Evan. "I'm certain, I informed you about it. Perhaps, you weren't attentive." The man said and Evan scowled at him through his lashes."Anyways, you said they will evade together so they will evade. They are still here, they haven't vacated the clan. They are waiting for the right moment to take Megara with them. Do you want us to resist their activities or let it be?" The man raised a question and Evandros gnawed on his lower lips before finally deciding."Resist but make sure they escape with her. Tighten the patrol in the dungeon, that Evenor is a clever one. He might sense us not taking action." Evan declared and the man nodded. He summoned his talking spiritual
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
