Leaning against the cold wall, fenced in like an animal, one could only think of evading. Megara sat in the corner of the prison, her wrists still chained but this time there was no seal on her mouth. With her hazy gaze, she absentmindedly stared at the lantern hanging in the corner of the dungeon. Her white robe was completely torn off by him from the back, and with nothing proper to cover herself, she had to grab the dirty blanket laying in the dungeon to cover herself.Her right shoulder was throbbing in pain and so was her neck.Why did he bite her?Whatever it was, he looked like a wild animal chewing on his prey.With a painful grimace, she closed her eyes and recalled his past self. His past self...what was he like? What did they have in between? All of those memories and that happiness and pure intentions between them, everything was destroyed by her.She chewed on her lower lip to stop her cry. The lump forming in her throat felt exceedingly unbearable, she felt suffocated s
"Today, I will show you guys around," Marco let out as soon as they walked out of the hall. Master Rowan stayed inside the hall as he had to meet other masters as well. Inhaling a deep breath, Megara quickly shook her head in denial while twisting her arms. "I'm tired, let's rest for a while and you can show us around later at night," Megara said and everyone agreed. Sitting for so long had their butts numb. "Fine, let me show you guys your rooms," Marco said and excitedly led everyone to their respective rooms. He was pretty energetic even after being on a voyage for so long, maybe because he was home.Being at home is another kind of satisfaction that Megara never truly had because home is with family. Marco led everyone to their respective rooms. At nightfall, all three of them were led by Marco to explore the sect. He showed them the sect classes, and training grounds and then later guided them through the market, taking them to one of the best restaurants in the denomination.T
"Master is calling me? Why?" Megara inquired while wiping her sweat away. She stood between Evenor and Agnes. The day was Friday means Saturday lessons will be lesser than other days and Sunday will be off. The disciples were just done with their first round of training lessons and were having a break for an hour."You already forgot? Such a loose case you are. You missed more than half of your second-round training lessons yesterday. When we asked where were you? You didn't answer us, so the master seeks you." Marco said and folded his arms on his chest by the time he stopped in front of them."Is it a big deal?" Megara asked, a tired expression plastered on her face. "We can't deliberately come late or take off. Where were you to be exact? When I came back you weren't under the tree." Agnes asked and Megara sighed. That boy was rehearsing in bushes and his skills were terrible. He probably didn't want anyone to see him. So exposing that little boy is not something Megara would do.B
She stared down at him. His breathing was heavy as he kneeled on the ground with one knee. The back of his hand wiped the blood oozing out of his nose which almost broke due to Megara's strike. His skills were truly bad but also weren't bad at all. She stumbled back while breathing heavily. The boy wasn't bad at all. He just needed a little more attention. His father...why does he not hire a personal instructor for his son? He is very persistent in making him leave his dream and attain the throne. Why not hire someone to train his son as well?The other two boys have long completed their fight and gone away. These two are still fighting. As she said, he isn't good at martial arts. He is all beaten up but he is still not letting her win, he looks very desperate to win. She is perplexed by his desperate behavior to win. Seeing his behavior she deliberately held back for some reason. His eyes kept flickering toward their left side, she couldn't help but slowly slide her gaze toward her
"You fought him?" Megara asked Agnes in shock. "Yes, she did. You missed the drama yesterday." Marco said while tapping his fingers on the table. They sat outside the restaurant, under the open sky, waiting for their breakfast to arrive."Yes, I did. He is from the Shu Clan. He was getting on my nerves because I accidentally spilled my wine on his clothes. Fine, it was an accident, why exaggerate it?" She asked and Evenor clicked his tongue."He wasn't exaggerating. You were drunk." Evenor said and Agnes shrugged. "I don't care, it's his fault," Agnes said and both the men quickly shook their heads. "Everyone saw it with their eyes. It was your fault. You started it. That poor boy...if Blossom was there she would have smacked you in the head for embarrassing us. They didn't dwell on the matter because they saw me." Marco said in a scolding tone. Agnes' cheeks turned red in embarrassment and guilt. "Fine, I admit it was my fault." Agnes let out."Ask for his forgiveness," Megara said
Two weeks later* "A mission?" Megara asked Agnes.They were walking in the empty corridor of the Sect's Manor. The moon was up, enlightening half of their faces. They were just going back to their rooms after having dinner."Yes, it's been more than a month since we have been here. We all will be assigned different missions on various days. We will have a partner with us but we won't be able to choose the partner ourselves." Agnes let out."Means they will also assign our partners?" Megara asked and Agnes nodded. "If we chose ourselves...everyone will choose their friends. Strong and strong will be able to achieve faster so I believe they will put strong and weak together or it truly depends on them." Agnes continued."What will be the mission?" Megara asked."I don't know. Everyone will be assigned different missions. It's just a practice test, so most of the disciples won't stress much about it." Agnes said and Megara nodded."Still, we should no-." Before Megara could complete h
"You all have your partners assigned in the envelope in your hands. Your mission is also assigned in the envelope. Half of you'll depart tomorrow and a half will depart the day after tomorrow."The instructor said, Everyone, stood in line on the training ground, each one with an envelope in hand. Once the instructor was done speaking, everyone opened their envelopes. Some hope to pair up with one of their friends and some hope to have an easy mission.Megara opened her envelope, also hoping to pair up with one of her friends but what she was paired with was beyond it. "Evandros Linya." She whispered under her breath and stared at the name before her eyes traveled down to read the task.Their task was to eradicate the demons attacking common people in the Waterafll town. It wasn't an easy task for someone like her who only knew martial arts at the moment and a demon cannot be overthrown with just some martial arts, her companion seems no good either. The day they will be departing is
In the void, she felt herself floating. She absentmindedly stared at the dirty wall in front of her. Her body aching in immense pain, slightly shivering in cold, she wrapped her arms around her knees, hiding her face in them.Sitting there for a while she abruptly sat up straight. The sound of chains clanking resounded in the eerie prison. She breathed in and out before she started doing her meditation. Since she was held captive and had nothing else to do, meditation was the only thing that can help at the moment.She sat there for hours and hours until she heard the door opening with the loud noise of a strong metal grazing the dusty ground. She stayed the same, with her eyes closed she kept going on, thinking it was the maiden, she didn't bother to pay attention to her but when she heard no noise and the room fall again into an eerie silence, a slight frown made its way on her face and she slowly opened her eyes, darting her gaze towards the door. Her orbs slightly trembled when s
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
