Those disciples who survived including Ozias were taken to the healing chambers. Theodore and Rowan were treated on the spot only. Ezekiel and a few water users successfully subdued the flames from extending. "How absurd!" Theodore rasped and ordered one of his men to request all the higher-ups to gather at the main hall as quickly as possible including the head of the protection department.There was no news from the borders so does that mean the demon was lurking in the shadows of the sect and is still within the shadows, lurking around? If not caught, that vicious thing might attack again but how come that thing even enter the sect in the first place?With so much in mind, all the higher-ups assembled at the main hall. Some doubted Ezekiel because the Diamond Clan was always against them but after learning that he was there all the time, endeavoring to stop the flames, their suspicion vanished in an instant.While they were occupied discussing the issue.On the other hand, Megara
That day, Megara kept herself locked in her room. When Evandros came to check on her, she immediately hid herself in the washing chamber and pretended that she was taking a bath. She stayed there as long as it took for him to go back. Once he was gone, Megara took a deep shaky breath of relief before stripping off her robe and Sarashi.She deep buried her body in an extremely cold water tub and remained in it for so long that the skin of her fingers and toes started to have wrinkles. Her body turned cold along with the water but she didn't step out. The back of her head rested on the edge of the tub as her lifeless eyes stared up at the wooden ceiling.She thought of every possibility to prove her conclusion wrong but there was none.She felt a sob escaping her lips as tears streamed down her cheeks. Her chest moved up and down with every sorrowful sob that broke through her lips.She liked him so much, she trusted him so much to the point of giving up her life if he ever went evil bu
"Have you lost your mind?" Agnes asked. "That boy looked so miserable and desperate when he came to me," Agnes said in wrath. Her chest heaving up and down rapidly, indicating that she ran. Megara, who was sitting on the wooden floor of the veranda with a liquor jar in her hand, passed a side glance towards Agnes."He came to you?" She asked and Agnes nodded. Megara sighed and looked up at the cloudy sky. Yesterday, she completely degraded him. She knew he was going through a tough time because of her but so was she going through a tough time because of him."I suggest you stay away from him," Megara said and took a sip of the liquor in her hand. Agnes' jaw twitched and she got down the wooden floor now standing on the ground, in front of Megara."I don't understand you. One time you are desperate to somehow take him with you and then you suddenly go around pushing him. Didn't Marco warn you long ago? Do not make him rely on you. Now you have no right to push him away like that Megara
Megara slid the door close and plopped down on the bed with a huff. It was already past dinner time and ever since the morning she's been trying to look for him but he is nowhere. She even went to the garden where he usually is but he was not there either.She was about to lay back when all of a sudden something flashed in her mind and she abruptly got up. Her pupils dilated when she realized that she skipped one of the most crucial places to him...to her. "How careless." She said and instantly hurried out of her guest room and to the rooftop where they usually meet.However, her expectations came crashing down when she didn't find him there either. Perhaps, she was too late or he never came.He never came?Such wrong phrases couldn't be used for an assumption, especially when it comes to his love for her.Little did she know...he was there in this cold weather for so long...waiting for her...his orbs desperately seeking for her. Megara closed her eyes to push the tears back. Her ch
Tears streaming down her eyes, Megara rushed through the alleys of the sect. Her clothes were drenched in blood and her whole body was aching yet she didn't halt on her steps. All those guards running behind her with their swords were yelling at her to stop. What she just witnessed had her whole world rattling down and she just couldn't believe that she and Jasmine Linya were played by Ezekiel Linya.She just couldn't believe that the stone that Jasmine Linya was trying to give away to the man was no one other than her own Master Rowan."What have I done?" She yelled at the top of her lungs and was forced to stop in her tracks as she almost fell forward. Her chest heaved up and down as she stared at the guards rushing towards her from the front. She swallowed thickly and stepped back, slightly turning to look at the guards coming at her from behind.She was surrounded by them.She stood there rooted to her place as tears kept kissing her cheeks.She failed to escape.Master Rowan wan
Evandros came to meet her.Megara sat in the corner of the grungy prison. She was fortunately given a neat robe but a robe that was meant for prisoners. She slightly raised her head that was resting on her knees and looked at the silhouette outside, at the side of her prison.Thud! Thud!Her heart started to beat faster once she realized who it was. She could feel his eyes on her, could barely see his face but couldn't make out his expression which she was glad for. She truly couldn't face his hatred. She couldn't apologize to him, she couldn't explain things to him at the right time and now it was too late to even apologize.To even properly look him in the eyes."I'm going back." He said, his voice sounded extremely gloomy, he sounded wounded. "Father will stay here until your punishment is decided." He continued and soon added. "Me and Mom are going back." A single tear trickled down her eyes as she put her hand on her mouth to stop her sobs from falling on his ears and pulled her
PRESENT**"Neel... Neel." The small baby sleeping on the large and comfortable bed, let out a muffled groan as he looked to his right with his half-opened eyes and found Megara softly smiling at him.A smile kissed his lips as he wrapped his tiny arms around Megara's neck. With a low chuckle, Megara scooted him up in her arms as he rested his sleepy head on her left shoulder."Such a big baby." She muttered in his ear and carefully put him down near the restroom door once she reached there. "Wash up," She said and he immediately ambled inside the restroom. Once she was sure he went inside. She turned towards the window and drew the curtains aside. Letting the light of the day strike her blurry vision. She opened the window as well, to let the fresh air in. With a sigh, she leaned against the side of the window, gazing outside even though she could barely see the surroundings. But she for sure knew the weather was nice and cloudy since the air was cold and the extra sharp rays of th
Evandros quietly sat on his throne with his legs carelessly sprawled along with the smoke pipe in his hand. His gaze was hazy but intense enough to pierce through the fragile one.He has forgotten what he was like.What was he like when they were together and happy?All of him was hazy but she...he remembers how she was. How she silently looked after him...she wasn't a very expressive one but when he needed her...she showered him with what he was lacking.He couldn't believe how easily his father fooled him. He couldn't believe he trusted him...no he didn't trust him. He never did, after Megara his father was his target but in the end he still ended up being his puppet.He was too broken...he thought that pain would go away but it only got worse when he came to know that she had a liking toward Evenor and then the promise his father made with him, had the fire in his heart raging.He thought, she was living her best life and maybe she wasn't punished enough but then again when he saw
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
