The King's Destined Love 22 // Queen of Minds
I couldn't stand to look at my mother's body, as I sat against my father's grave while Sam dug a grave close by. My mother did not get a dignified burial, she did not deserve to die the way she did, she did not deserve to die at all. I don't think I had the courage to leave and start over with my life without burying my mother. If anything, I don't know what I would have done if Sam wasn't there with me. I would forever be grateful to him. I don't know how he managed to do it, especially with that awful stench, but he fitted my mother into the bigger suitcase and carried it all the way to the cemetery while I followed close by. Once the hole was deep and wide enough to fit the suitcase, he pulled the bag and as gentle as he tried to be, he was exhausted, the bag fell into the hope with a loud thud. The ground was wet from the short rain, Sam was covered in mud when he stepped into the open. He transferred his weight on the shovel and took deep breaths, waiting a while before fil

I did everything in my power to shut down any form of communication from the gods, and now I wish I had paid closer attention to everything they were trying to tell me. I paced outside the restaurant, trying to make sense of everything. If my mind served me right, it meant that a war was brewing amongst the gods, and mortal humans would be caught in the crossfires. ‘When you were struck by lightning, you were granted powers by the goddess of thunderstorms. You have lightning coursing through your veins. You have to go back, My Angel. Your home is in chaos, and you are the only one that can save your people. Your kingdom is falling apart. You need to get your people to safety before it's too late.’ ‘There's a prophecy that has lived long before you were born. My father told me about it. He heard it from his father, and his father also heard it from his father. It's been circulating for generations. It is said that the island was ruled by gods for many years, until one day, power and

I could not believe I was going ahead with this. The world was literally at a standstill, the sun was still in the same position as it was at noon. No one slept during the late hours of the day, it was impossible. We were all worn out, and rumour had it that some people were collapsing, especially with the extreme heat and water and food shortages. One by one, the people of Azania were dropping like rotten fruits from a tree. Yet, here I was preparing to walk down the aisle for the second time, for selfish reasons each time, except,no one was holding a gun to my head this time. Well, at least not a literal one. The gods had a cold sense of humour. “Why are you not dressed yet?” Lizzy waltzed into the office-turned-dressing room, tearing me out of my thoughts. I glanced at her from the mirror and cast her a nervous smile. “I guess you could say I was waiting for my maid of honor to come and inspect my wedding dress just to make sure that Neo didn't put scorpions in there,” I joked

I woke up, only to find myself in an old room with dark, dirty walls and roof that looked like it was barely holding on. I felt so light as if a burden had just been lifted off me, and I realised that I was left in the garment I wore under my wedding dress. I shielded my eyes as the light flashing through the roof pierced at me in an angry glare. “What happened to me?” I croaked, getting up from the mattress, and I looked around the room, hoping to find a clue. “You are awake.” A tiny voice said, and I felt my blood flare at the little girl standing at the door. “You? Why the hell do you keep appearing and disappearing whenever it suits you? And who gave you that note?” “Who do you think it was?” She challenged. As compared to earlier when she was wearing a short white dress and white pumps, she had switched back to her dark attire. Could it be Lincoln, or was it Violet? “That witch!” I hissed. I curse the day I came to know of her existence, it felt like she had become a dark

I never thought my life could get any worse than it already, the last thing I needed after everything that I have been through was a baby. It was clear that I was a puppet in the ancestors’ games, they gave me everything I have ever dreamt of, only to snatch it all in a snap of the fingers. My head felt like it was going to explode as I tried to piece everything together thread by thread, and I had no idea where I was going to as my feet raced one after the other, everything blurring around me. Lincoln’s words replayed in my mind, and I remembered how his return was not at his own will, he was coerced back home by their ancestors, and it made me sick to my stomach knowing that we were both their victims. I felt stupid. Why didn’t I notice that I was pregnant this entire time? I guess my period was the last thing on my mind with all that’s been happening, it never occurred to me that the last time I had my period was around the same time Lincoln returned from overseas. It didn’t m

I thought I was dying form the heartache, not even Lizzy could save me. I thought her presence would make me feel better, but I felt disconnected from everyone, and especially Lizzy. I spent the next five days with Shalom in a lake located at the far end of the kingdom, right after passing the last bit of hay. Shalom was teaching me how to use my powers without having to depend on my emotions. My powers simply relied on my mind, words, and body. I felt like a magician, and my distress helped to speed up the process. Today was my last day of training, but I wasn’t so sure if I was ready for war. I was going to be fighting against the man who once held my heart and the father of my child. I still couldn’t believe I was pregnant, the only sign of the so-called pregnancy was the absence of my period. I was sitting at the shore with my feet inside the water. This was the only place I could call beautiful in this dark place, the water reminded me of a beach, and the air around it was fr

I walked my way back to the abandoned castle in baby steps, all the while ignoring Shalom and Lydia’s urgent calls. I was still shocked from my transformation, the girl I was when I was preparing to leave this place was like a distant memory, only a reflection of who I used to be. I didn't feel like myself, but I wasn't sure how to feel at all. What really happened? I asked myself. I picked up my scarf from where I'd dropped it, covered my face as tears poured down from my eyes like a waterfall. I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask, but then there was no one to ask. I was frightened, the things I did back there were nothing compared to what I'd trained, it was totally different and superior. It felt like what I did back there was nothing, as if there was still more powers in me, powers much more dangerous than this. I doubted I was the person I thought I was, after what I did, I believed there was more coming, Violet wasn't going to let this slide. There was still more where

We were back where I did my training. I was held in Alex's arms while sobbing and to my despair, he could actually hold me and resist the electricity flowing from my body. Shalom was seating on a rock with Lydia sitting on her lap while she comforted her over the loss of her kingdom, everything had turned to smoke, and while the lake was still there, the door had vanished, and Lydia had no way to go to the other side. After seeing the body in that water, I started hyperventilating and Lydia had to teleport me here in hopes that it would help me to calm down. I’m guessing Alex thought teleporting was one of my strengths, he had freaked out and thought I had gone to confront Violet. I got up from the floor, leaving Alex's cold embrace. I paced around, my mind clouded with questions. “I don't understand it - why her? Why did they have to kill her?” I asked. “Killing my mother was not enough, but they just had to kill Lizzy too,” I choked on my words, trying to fight back the tears.

The King's Destined Love 32 // Reunion
The first thing I woke up to was the sound of crackling fire. Something was urging me to open my eyes, but I couldn’t. Someone touched my arm, and the first reaction from my body was electricity. As they moved their hands over my arm, the current in my body followed their trail. “Eva.” A voice called, and I froze. “Eva, can you hear me?” He asked gently, and my heart filled with immense regret. Lincoln. The last time I heard his voice, there was menace in it. He was full of hatred and anger. Just the sound of his voice was enough to break your spirit off. I could never forget how much he hurt me, no matter what. Whether he was under a spell or not, or the fact that Alex was pretending to him, he still managed to break my heart into pieces. His hands continued to move, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe from the current in my body due to the way it danced to him. Lincoln could control me with just a single touch. My powers were a
The King's Destined Love 31 // Unveiled
Sounds of flowing water filled my ears, and the smell of ocean water hit my nostrils.It flooded my mind with the memories of my father bringing me and Lincoln to the beach while we were still young. I still had a good memory of how we used to build sandcastles and joke about how we would become queen and king together, which was funny considering how our views changed as we grew older and lost interest in anything and everything to do with royalty.I always thought that was our destiny, but considering how much Lincoln had changed, our entire past felt like a lie.Lincoln had changed, he looked different, he was no longer as beautiful on the inside as he was on the outside, he held no humour, no adoration, just anger and hatred. He tried to get my attention, but eventually, he stopped trying.To think I had fallen in love with him, now I was not even sure what I felt for of him. The mention of his name, Violet, or merely the sight of him made me mad.A part of me longed for him, I mi
The King's Destined Love 30 // Another Side
“Violet?” She fixed her perfect short silver jumpsuit and took baby steps towards Shalom and I, her walk so regal as if she was flaunting her beauty. Alex joined us, followed by Lydia. They looked like death. “Things don't have to end this way, all you have to do is surrender and hand yourself to the queen, that's all we want from you,” Violet said. “What are you talking about?” A male voice interjected, and the man I'd been dreading to see came into view. I don’t know what I was expecting to see, but he looked worse than I’d expected. He was thinner and sullen, and the clothes on his back looked a little too big on him. He seemed a bit darker in complexion, and if it was not for how ashy he was, I would have assumed that it was from the sun. The unkempt beard on his face made his face look thinner. He looked sick. I spent so much time battling between the hatred and love for him, and after everything that happened, I had so much anger, but now that I was standing in front of h
