Inside he saw a woman sitting. Her hair was almost white, she was staring out of the window as her head was turned to the left side, so he couldn't have a clear look at her face. For some reason, his heart was beating very fast. He gradually walked towards her and paused in front of the table, looking down at her sitting on the buffer. His tall shadow easily covered her body.The woman slowly looked up at him, his pupils shrinking when he finally had a glimpse of her. She...she looked so much like his mother. Although her hair was white her face wasn't wrinkled enough to be called old. He stared at her aghast.The woman eyed him from head to toe before ushering him to sit on the buffer beneath him with a small smile on her face. Her eyes watched his every movement. He settled down on the buffer and looked at the woman before he swiftly had a look at his surroundings.It wasn't a room. Maybe, this is the place where she meets people. There was nothing in the room other than a cupboard
*Next day* Evandros stood under the veranda of the manor, gazing outside at the people. Kids running everywhere with grown-ups irritatingly scolding them to stay still. He still had a cloth wrapped around his face but his long black hair was open as it swayed in the breeze. He had no intention of staying here so he brought nothing with him other than money. This morning his aunt gave him a maroon robe with black embroidery on it. He has a black belt wrapped around his strong waist, black gloves along with long black boots.His eyes narrowed when he found a couple of kids running around him, trying to catch each other and unconsciously pulling on his robe. He slowly gazed down at them and the kids froze, feeling shivers running down their spines for some reason until they looked up. They jumped and swiftly drew back, sprinting away from him almost weeping.He frowned upon seeing their behavior.He didn't do anything...no maybe he glared at them.He just scowled and they got frightene
A blind woman with green hues.Evandros stilled for a second. He stared at her and kept gaping at her until her unclear gaze diverted toward his silhouette. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to take in the feature of the person standing before her. Without a word, she stood up with the kid still in her arms and slightly bowed at both of them."Drop the honorifics already," Sina said politely. Before the woman could say something a bunch of young maidens surrounded the stall. Sina quickly gestured for Neel to come over to her. The kid scowled and looked at the woman. He grabbed her clothed cheeks and smooched her clothed cheek before she slowly let the boy down, turning towards her customers. Neel walked into Sina's arm as the woman turned around to leave but halted when she noticed her nephew still in his position. His dark black orbs fixated on the woman. She looked at the woman before looking back at him, nudging his arm to bring him back to his senses. He absentmindedly turned to fa
MEGARA DAYBRACEFate it is.What is fate to be exact?Your destiny is written by god. Destiny can be altered as well.Just like instead of perishing that day, she somehow survived the tragedy.How did she manage to prevail? Who conserved her? She doesn't know. She knows nothing. All she knows is that she found herself lying in an unfamiliar grove near the mountain of honor.Her bleeding wound was dressed.Does she have any hazy remembrance of who saved her? Yes, she does.It was an individual in white.Man or woman? She doesn't know. All she knows is that it was an individual in white. She unhurriedly stood up once she gained consciousness. Taking the tree as a support she swiftly looked around the area. Her pupils shrank as she quickly rubbed her eyes only to realize that she had lost more than half of her sight. Which only indicated one thing.Just god knows how she ended up in this village but looks like whoever saved her wanted her to find shelter here. Days later, she found s
When she came back to her senses she realized that person was on top of her.She was out of energy and there was no way she could battle this demon. Maybe, this time it's her end. Instead of fighting back, she rested her hand on the ground, gripping the dust beneath in her hand. Waiting for demise to greet her but what she felt next was a cold hand in this hot weather.That hand was touching her right cheek. Her green hues aimlessly tried to have a look at his face since he was pretty close, and she realized he was wearing a mask like her. The person was extremely quiet and he was caressing her with an odd affection.Is he a deviant?Her eyes narrowed and the next thing she did was to throw the dust in her hands in his eyes. A grunt left his lips and he abruptly shifted away from her. With that single loss of grip, she exempted herself and flew away like a lightning knowing well that she can't fight him and he was in no spirit to slaughter her but to have her. What kind of a demon it
What does it take to be a good person? Nothing...that's what people say but to her it's different.To her...being nice in a world like this takes away everything.Megara caressed the table in front of her. She was in the guest room of the house which was given to her for her stay. She couldn't have a clear look at the room but she tried to take in as much as she could. There was a single bed between the room and a long mirror inclined against the wall in the corner. She caressed the soft mattress of the bed before sitting on it. The sun was down and the moon was up in the sky. Sina left two hours ago and ever since she left Megara has been running here and there. Right, no work is easy.It's dinner time, she must check if everyone has eaten. With that in mind, she got up and strolled out of the room with her bamboo stick. She was being extra prudent since there were children here but oh why was she concerned about such a thing? She has a small guard beside her who is always lurking
What day was it?Where was she?She didn't know anything when she first trekked into the village between the mountain of honor and her blindness was making things nastier for her. Those days were one of the worst days of her life. After going through all of that, she tried to kill herself but ended up enduring somehow. Then she found herself in an unfamiliar village, all of that aside the worst part was that half of her spiritual core was eradicated.And after all of that when she finally soothed down a little, she unexpectedly started sensing his existence around her. First, she felt it that day, then yesterday, and today the whole day she kept feeling like someone was staring at her.Of course, people were looking at her but that feeling of being continuously watched was different. Though Sina's nephew gives her strange vibes she is not sure that he was staring at her because as far as she knows he didn't leave his room today either.While standing near the window of her guest room
"What? He departed yesterday morning?" Megara raised an inquiry with a frown and the woman nodded. "Yes, He left a note for his aunt and departed. He is a master, something might have come up in his sect." The woman said and Megara faintly nodded before dropping the conversation with the woman. With the help of her bamboo stick, she walked towards the veranda of the house and halted on her steps.The giggling of children and their little footsteps as they played around while a few old people made old jokes and laughed at them. She heard and sensed it all. Nothing was odd at all. Is something only wrong with her?She chewed her already bruised lower lip. A hiss left her lips when she bit her bruised area, quickly letting go of the skin as she licked the bruise, feeling a metallic flavor in her mouth. She has been gnawing on her lower lip ever since she woke up and now it's bruised and bleeding.She doesn't know from where she formulated this habit but she does this whenever she's anx
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
