A WEEK LATER* The news spread across the oceans. The incident that transpired impacted many, especially the Front Liberation Sect. Where to begin telling? The destruction was hard to explain to everyone. Everyone was saddened by Master Shin's demise. The Sect was in Chaos, everywhere was the same topic being discussed.The renegade has been slaughtered.Some said she demolished herself.Some said she was shoved off the cliff by her lunatic soulmate.Whatever it was, she was dead for better. If she was alive someone else would have to kill her. In the end, she has to die no matter what. When her disciples were informed of her demise and betrayal, they didn't believe it and went to the conference ground. They found her respective sword there but not her body so, in the end, they were forced to believe that she was dead but they still didn't believe she betrayed them.All of them thought they would be kicked out of the Sect because Megara was dead plus she was known as a traitor so the
The ending of spring.The beginning of summer."PLEASE, WE DON'T KNOW, SPARE US, WE D-DON'T KNOW." A group of old men could be seen sitting on the dusty ground, sticking together while joining their hands up in a begging manner. Who were they pleading with? They were pleading with the group of men clothed in black surrounding them. They held swords in their hands and their faces were covered. One of them stepped forward and kicked the old man in his face, making his head bang on the dusty ground, blood spurting out from the corner of the old man's forehead. His friends immediately grabbed onto his shoulder, pulling him back towards themselves."If you don't have the black stone then you must know where it is. Look, old man, if you don't want us to set your little village on fire, you better spit the truth out." The man let out, raising his leg to boot the old man again but he halted midway. A gasp left the lips of those who were sitting on the ground while the ones standing around,
All these three years...what was he thinking?To give himself an excuse, he assumed his tears that day on the cliff was out of shock. He did love her once and wanted to eradicate her as well. He achieved his goal and she was gone eternally. He kept telling himself that he was a demon and he bears no heart, a demon doesn't cry. They are born to eradicate but then he found himself stopping the slaughtering of people for stones.In the end, he decided to go into seclusion.Within four walls, he meditated. Quit thinking but he can't seem to overlook her.Can she be even forgotten? He questioned himself.At the end of the day, when the sun was gone and the moon was up in the sky along with several twinkling stars, he stared at it for the longest time. Sitting under the tree, he recalled her. Stroking her thumb ring in his hand. Recalling her so much to the point he becomes anxious. What if she was blamed from the beginning?Just the thought of it makes his stomach twist and his heart s
"Who are you?" A manly voice trailed off Evandros from his thoughts. He slowly turned his head to the left side and saw a middle-aged man or maybe around his father's age, inclining against the outside pillar of the manor.He fully turned towards the man, observing him from head to toe. He looked like a normal villager but didn't have a commoner's face. His skin was tan and he was handsome. Evandros remained silent. The man narrowed his eyes at the young man when he heard no response from him."I asked you something, young man?" The man said and stood up straight, unhurriedly strolling towards Evandros and pausing when only an arm difference was left between them."I'm someone related to this extinct family." Evandros declared and the man halted. His pupils enlarged and he abruptly stepped back, eyeing Evandros very keenly from head to toe."Y-You...you are Jasmine's son?" The man asked, making Evan shocked. How did he know, was he someone who knows his mother? The man seemed incredi
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
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
