The Last Flame CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
Maddie missed again and slashed the curtain. Despite the confusion, Theo was still quick in dodging Maddie’s attempt to kill him. He stood on the other side of the room, naked and bewildered about what was happening. “Put the dagger down, Maddie. Let us talk this through.” Theo said calmly but Maddie is nowhere near calm. He can feel her anger and what’s worse is that he couldn’t understand why. They were happy, or so he thought. “There’s no need to talk, Theo. What needs to be done here is to end you.” Her voice is filled with so much hatred that Theo forgot she was the woman he loves. It feels like another woman is standing in front of him. “What is wrong, Maddie? Did I do something to upset you?” Theo is still calm as he is trying to understand the situation, his wife. At that moment, Maddie’s expression changed. Her eyes widened as she stared at the dagger she was holding. Her eyes brimmed with tears before she looked at Theo. “What is happening, Theo?” Her tears started to f

The world stopped moving when a beaming light in the middle of the road appeared. A man came out from the light and he looked around. He was not even surprised that no one’s moving, even the wind can’t be felt. The man went to the side of the road and as soon as he snapped his fingers, everything went back to normal as if it didn’t stop functioning for a few seconds. The man started walking on the sidewalk and every woman he passes by, has their eyes glued to him. It’s a man’s dream but it’s not part of his. He has a different intention in walking the earth. As he strolls through the busy town, he gets satisfied. ‘It’s a good thing that I didn’t ban visiting the earth. It feels refreshing.’ he said in his mind as he took a turn. “Hey, mister!” He looked at the kid from hi

Theo tossed and turned in his bed for hours but he was unable to sleep. He sat out of frustration then pulled his shoulder-length hair. Theo groaned before he decided to take a swim at the lake behind his palace. He stripped naked then he swam until he was in the middle of the lake. He wiped his face using his hand before he looked above. The two moons next to each other are glistening that contrast the dark blue sky. He sighed hashly before letting himself sink in the deep and pitch-black water. Theo is restless because Madeline is disturbing his peace. She kept visiting his thoughts and he couldn't help but to entertain the possibility of being with her. He wanted it to come true but even if he’s the highest and most respected god, he’s powerless when it comes to that.

Maddie yawned when the customer left. She hasn't gotten a good sleep because she’s constantly waking up. She feels that someone is with her in her room but she can’t see anything. She wanted to think that she’s just being paranoid but her gut feel tells her that what she’s thinking is real. Theo sat in his usual spot with a newspaper in his hands which he can use to cover his face if ever Maddie looked at his place. He feels guilty seeing Maddie tired for not getting enough sleep. He couldn’t help himself but to watch Maddie rest. It’s the only time he can be close to her. Maddie felt she’s being watched again so she looked around but no one had direct attention to her. She shook her head before she tried to focus. ‘It’s just in your mind, Maddie.’ sh

"I knew it. It was just a dream." Maddie muttered as soon as she woke up. She sat and looked around but there was no sign that what happened last night was real. Maddie quickly shook her head to clear her thoughts. She quickly went to the bathroom to prepare for her work but she cannot help but to think of Theo. He looks sincere but what he said was just unbelievable, especially the part when he said that he loves her. “Hi, Maddie.” Maddie looked at the man who was walking beside her. She sighed before looking ahead and tried not to mind Liam. Maddie almost groaned in frustration when Liam walked backwards just to look at her and give her one of his annoying smiles. She’s blatantly rejecting him but Liam is just persistent.

Theo kept pacing with Jonah just watching him. A day has passed but Maddie hasn't woken up yet. Flora, the goddess of healing and childbirth, had already assured Theo that Maddie is just fine and needs some rest but he is still uneasy. "Have you found Felix?" Theo faced Jonah and he quickly stood. "Philip and Samuel and some of the soldiers have been hunting him down. Do not worry, Theo. They will find him." Jonah patted his shoulder but Theo just shrugged it away and walked towards the window. "And if they don't, I will hunt him myself and end his pathetic life with my bare hands." He gritted his teeth before sitting next to Maddie who's lying in his bed. Jonah left to give them some

Maddie slowly laughed after hearing what Theo said. She laughed so hard that her eyes got watery. Theo just watched her and although he doesn't want to, he felt offended seeing Maddie laugh at him. She wiped her eyes before shaking her head. Theo remained looking at her.“In love? Theo, you’re really crazy.” Maddie scoffed and turned her back to Theo but suddenly, he’s in front of her.Maddie gasped and took a step back as she was stunned. She still hasn’t gotten a grip at what’s happening so witnessing Theo’s powers are too much for her. Theo stopped her by grabbing her upper arm. His grip is not too tight or loose but Maddie cannot still pull her arm away so she glared at Theo instead.“Do not mock me, Madel

Theo quickly went after Maddie. He even pushed Ingrid out of the way that angered her more. He immediately dived in the lake and swam as fast as he could to the middle part of the lake which is the deepest. Maddie, on the other hand, doesn’t know how to swim. She screamed due to panic so water came rushing into her lungs. She started to sink quickly despite her efforts in thrusting herself up. Maddie’s lungs started to fill with water and she’s already out of breath that is why she stopped trying to surface and just chose to face her end.As soon as Theo spotted Maddie, he swam towards her but she’s sinking fast and already unconscious. He gritted his teeth before reaching for her. He wrapped his arm around Maddie's waist then they surfaced. Theo glanced at Maddie and she's still unconscious so he hissed in anger and immediately swam to the shore. He carefully la

The Last Flame CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
Maddie kept looking at herself in the mirror. She feels nauseous just by merely thinking about what's going to happen in a few while. She took a deep breath while shaking her hands as they kept on shaking. Maddie's nervous, super nervous that she thinks she wilo faint any moment now. She and Theo will share their first night together and it is her first time. She's afraid of what she's going to do and feel. Maddie's not innocent about it so all the knowledge she knows is what's making her worry. A knock disturbed her from overthinking and knowing well that it's Theo, made her heart skip a beat. "I'm coming!" She washed her hands before drawing in a deep breath. "Is everything alright, Maddie?" She sensed Theo's worry so Maddie quickly went out of the bathroom which slightly startled Theo. Maddie blushed upon seeing Theo topless so she averted her eyes but she couldn't help but to glance at his perfectly sculpted upper body. The sight made her feel hotter. "Just tell me if you ar
The Last Flame CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Maddie took a deep breath but it was no use. She’s still having a hard time controlling her breathing as she’s too nervous. Eliza helps her calm down by giving her an assuring smile. Maddie smiled back at her but it was crooked.“You are beautiful, my lady.” Eliza complimented sincerely and it has been her nth time of saying that statement.“It’s not that I am worried about, Eliza.” Maddie said before pouting her lips.“Is it about the ritual?” Eliza is now worried too. Maddie sighed before nodding then she looked ahead.“Theo said that it will not affect our marriage but I am still worried. What if we get a divorce after a few days?&rdquo
The Last Flame CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
“Eliza, where are we going?” Eliza just smiled at her before she continued dragging her to the front porch.It’s already late at night and she should be resting because it is her wedding day tomorrow. Maddie thought that it will take a while before they will get married, especially after their misunderstanding. However, the next day, Eliza gave her the news that their nuptial will be the following day. It was sudden but Maddie didn’t care. All she wants now is to marry Theo. She wants him to be her husband already.Maddie stopped when she saw what was on the front porch. Theo was there, looking at her with a small smile on his lips, and another man. From his intimidating look, MAddie assumed that he is a god as well.“What is t
The Last Flame CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Eliza hurriedly went to Theo who’s having his morning meeting with the guards. Despite her growing nervousness and fear, the servant still took all her courage with her when she entered the room. Theo quickly stabbed her with his glare so Eliza quickly bowed her head.“I apologize, my lord.” She breathlessly said with her head still down. Two guards instantly went on both her sides, waiting for an order to drag her away and behead her.“State your purpose before I get your head to feed the birds.” Theo said seriously while staring at Maddie’s personal servant.“Miss Maddie did not cheat on you and I can vouch for that. You can have my life, as well as my family’s if you proved me wrong.” Eliza said quick
The Last Flame CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Maddie slowly spun as Flora checked her dress. Eliza gave her two thumbs up which made Maddie smile. Flora clasped her hands when Maddie faced her.“As expected, you suit the dress.” Flora said while gently dusting off the skirt of the dress.Maddie’s face burned and all she managed to give as a response was a shy smile. Eliza helped her remove the simple cream floral dress that Flora designed herself. She immediately went to her, bringing the dress that will be her wedding gown, as soon as she heard the news that Maddie and Theo are getting married in two days time. It was not only her that is exuberant for the upcoming union but as well as the other gods and goddesses. They even started delivering their gifts to Maddie in advance.Maddie
The Last Flame CHAPTER TWENTY
Eliza looked at Maddie worriedly as she was staring at herself for a few minutes now. It’s like she is not herself. Eliza is hesitating to snap her out of her thoughts in fear that it will anger her. Meanwhile, Maddie is indeed having deep thoughts. Ever since what happened in the sanctuary of the last flame, she couldn’t get her mind off of Theo.“Can I go to Theo?”Eliza was startled when Maddie spoke but she was quick to nod. Maddie blinked a few times before she stood. She’s still dazed and she believes it is Theo who’ll straighten her mind.They silently walked towards the room where Theo is. At first, the guards didn’t want to let them in but when they saw Maddie, they opened the door immediately. She has no i
The Last Flame CHAPTER NINETEEN
Maddie finished her milk bath then wore the clothes Eliza prepared. After that, she started drying Maddie’s hair. She feels extra special today because Theo said that they will go somewhere special. Maddie’s first thought was that he will introduce her to his parents but Eliza mentioned that the former rulers were far gone. That left Maddie anxious yet excited. She keeps on thinking of the possible places they can go to and given the majestic place, everything is special.Given what happened the other night, Maddie felt differently about Theo. She knows it’s still far from love but he is making her little heart pound. She unconsciously smiled when she remembered how they danced in the most comfortable silence she had ever experienced. Maddie felt so warm, so safe after a long time that she almost forgot everything cruel she’d been through.&nb
The Last Flame CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Maddie tossed and turned but she couldn’t escape her thoughts. In the end, she chose to go out on the balcony to get some fresh air. She hugged herself as it is now twice as cold since it is late at night. Maddie sighed before looking up. For a second, she was mesmerised by the beauty of the moons which had become one. The one behind contrasts the one in front with its vibrant red color which gives it a fine outline. Maddie sighed once again out of frustration because not even the magical beauty of the moons can take her mind off of Theo.“Did I make the right decision?” She sat on the bench and looked up in hopes that the moons could give her a miracle.In fact, Maddie is confused. She knows to herself that she doesn’t love Theo but she couldn’t bear seeing him hurt, especially because of he
