THE SIXTH PHASE Ragnar's first month in the Kastron Kingdom and where he met Grace.The Kastron Kingdom has changed a lot since back then, even more than Walton did. Maybe, he loathed the fact that he didn't want to rule over the same kingdom as his ruination did so he progressed it to such an extent nothing was left like before.However, the castle was not changed at all and I wondered why the most traumatizing space of his past was left almost untouched."Didn't Ragnar find it weird that his king badly wanted to join hands with the vampires?" I asked Makaria while staring at the view before me. Before me sat Logan on his master chair and beside him was Ragnar as both were having their dinner in a fancy dining hall.Everything... Everything in the castle seemed like it was left untouched by Ragnar."He did but in order to vanish the witches, it was not possible by only humans. According to what was shown to him witches were a threat to both vampires and humans." Makaria answered."S
THE SEVENTH PHASE "I warned you not to come here." Ragnar almost roared. It was unlike his calm self, just what did she do? My eyes went back and forth between them as I stood there on my toes, forgetting to breathe as the sight in front of me began to unfold."I'm s-sorry but you w-weren't answering the knock. You also d-didn't come to the dinner table s-so the king was asking about you. Since you didn't come I-I decided t-." Grace stammered, trying to find the right words to come up with, or more like she pretended to stutter and act all naive. A food tray was shattered on the floor next to her feet, tainting the walls and her feet.Ragnar pinned her with a deadly glare."Oh no, no, no. Don't act like you fucking care. You are a slave so you better act like one, Miss Grace." He growled, his breath heavy and he was all red due to the anger that was consuming him.No, wait. He looked sick."He didn't go to the dinner table, does that mean he is sick?" I asked Makaria, my eyes fixed o
THE EIGHTH PHASEThe phase where their love blossoms, that too because of a damn love spell created by the witches. Hell, my small brain wasn't even used to the fact that there were vampires and witches still alive in the present, and that too with the king of vampires being my husband on which sunlight doesn't work as I read in books.Hell, I haven't even wrapped my mind around the fact that I died and now I was stuck in a stone where I was seeing my past 'sinful' deeds. All of these things were overwhelming and hard to believe in the first place. Like this wasn't normal or perhaps I was hallucinating my past all this time.I'm just recalling that I know for sure but this woman beside me makes it hard for me to believe that I was simply recalling, I could call her a hallucination but maybe I'm just stuck in a stone.All of this was so hard to conclude let alone to believe.Now the sight in front of me was making things even harder for me. To know his obsession with me lasted for so m
THE NINTH PHASEI stared at the scene before me in utmost shock, my orbs throbbed and lips trembled while my whole body felt like it was standing on a burning coal. The scene before me was very much familiar to the scene Ragnar showed me. In fact, it was the same scene.The scene where Ragnar and Grace were making love in the garden against the tree. This was even worse than the previous phase. My mouth agape as I snapped my head back towards Makaria who actually had her back towards the scene, she was busy staring at the flowers and the bunnies running around, acting like a fairy as if she just didn't get me stuck here. Thank god, she wasn't staring at the scene and didn’t seem all unfazed and detached like previously.Why was this scene even in the phase? When I asked her she told me it was to feel the bond, the type of connection they had. I don't want to feel it. Even when I tried to look around, the sound of their love making was cursing my ears.I stood there all red and tense
THE TENTH PHASE"Become a vampire," Those three words were enough to make the whole hall fall into an eerie silence. The silence itself was loud enough to make me nervous, I was almost sweating. My gaze fixated on Ragnar like all the other gazes in the hall, watching every tiny moment in his expressions but the problem was he seemed expressionless, as if he was still trying to comprehend the words that left Logan's mouth."Pardon?" The word barely sounded audible from his lips."Become a vampire," Logan repeated his offer again. He sounded so casual about it while Ragnar on the other hand was struggling to take in his offer.Ragnar first chuckled dryly. Then looked around, realizing the situation he was in before looking down and chuckling again.He covered his forehead and kept chuckling before raising his head, looking Logan directly in the eyes. He shook his head, his face red. "I mean...where did this come from?" Ragnar asked, he finally stopped chuckling but his gaze had playf
The long awaited ruination was finally here.My eyes widened and I unconsciously grabbed Makaria's arm upon seeing Grace being dragged like that by the Kastron guards."Wasn't Logan aware that she was your daughter?" I asked, eyeing the scene in trepidation. "He was, he just didn't care." She said and I didn't know how to react to that. No wonder why he couldn't get his hands on Makaria. After doing her daughter like that, was he expecting I love you too from her? He must have thought that he would force her, judging by his shitty personality.My gaze sprinted back on Ragnar and the look on his face made me want to dig up a hole and bury myself in it. He looked terrified but that wasn't it. He looked like he was ready to burn this whole hall down. It looked like he was taking her back with him to the Walton Kingdom since she was given to him as his personal maid. Her new dress which Ragnar probably bought for her was torn from many places."Was Grace aware of Logan's plan?" I asked a
"Your so-called lover Grace is actually a witch who is here to seek revenge from you."Ragnar suddenly stopped struggling to get out of Kastron's guard's grip as he stared at Logan in confusion before his gaze slowly traveled towards Grace who looked just as shocked and confused as him."What nonsense are you barking?" Ragnar growled and began to struggle again. "I'm barking the truth here," Logan said, tightening his hold on Grace as he stared down at the maiden intently."You played well but unfortunately it's me who is gonna win," Logan said with a little smirk on his face before he looked at Ragnar again. "This maiden right here is a witch and she is the daughter of the queen, Makaria." Logan declared and Ragnar's eyes widened in shock. He immediately shook his head in denial."That's impossible," Ragnar growled and Logan scoffed. "Is that what your heart says?" Logan asked and Ragnar just glared at him. "She looked familiar to you in the beginning, right? Why?" Logan asked and R
"It's time for the ritual."The ritual? I stood in my place like a stiff statue. Was I really about to see him turn into a vampire? I've read in the books that the vampire King usually bites the neck to turn the other person into a vampire so does that mean he would bite Ragnar's neck?A guard stepped forward with a royal bowl while Grace tightened her hold on Ragnar's arm, trying to comfort him, telling him that it wouldn't hurt at all. "What's that bowl for?" I asked Makaria."You'll know," She replied simply.The couple stood aside as the guard brought the bowl to Logan. My gaze shifted towards Ragnar and my heart pained to see him like that. I could see it, he was scared. He was hesitant. Immorality was a curse worse than death itself but he was doing it for her. To be with her despite her betrayal.He shouldn't have agreed. Though it's not the case but what if she was involved with Logan in order to manipulate him? No matter what her true feelings were. I thought no good of her.
