Distressed, Caleb tried moving past the guards to go in to see Nazima, but they blocked his way. He was furious, the queen’s guards consisted of both the Naga’s and the Merpeople.She wanted to unite her people not separate them and that started with her having guards from both clans. Caleb sent a glare the guard’s way, but they were not moved.After witnessing what the queen can do, they were more scared of the queen than they were of Caleb. “I believe you all know who I am, now let me in or face punishment.” The guard’s felts wronged.How could Caleb want to punish them for doing their jobs? It was the queen who said she didn’t want to see him, it had nothing to do with them. “General, we are only following the queen’s orders.” The merguard explained to his general.He knew how Caleb was and he did not want to face his rath when the time comes. It was better to explain now than keep quiet and wait for his punishment. Caleb also knew that they were following orders, but he could not
Caleb pulled Victoria all the way to his place then let go of her hand. He turned and looked at her with cold eyes. Victoria knew he was angry, but she smiled sweetly at him anyway.He has always been like this towards her, it was nothing new. “Don’t be angry now, I was only looking out for you.” She said batting her eyelashes. “What was that, how dare you?” Victoria only looked at him innocent.“I am not sure which question to answer now, you asked so many.” Caleb was boiling with anger; he did not have time for Victoria’s nonsense. He needed to fix things with Nazima.“Victoria, I will only say this once, stay away from me.” he warned then turned to leave but Victoria followed. Caleb turned in anger and strangled her. Victoria’s eyes widened in shock.Caleb quickly came back to his senses and let go of her. “I said stay the hell away from me!” he yelled. “I was only going to get my backet, there it is.” She pointed at it. the basket containing fresh fish was sitting there by the doo
Unable to respond, Caleb watched as she left. He stood there for some time not knowing what to do. Did Nazima follow them last night or did someone tell her what happened.Caleb wondered if he had a spy following him or did Victoria tell Nazima? He didn’t think so though, he thought Victoria would never do something like that. Not after he warmed her against it.Caleb looked like a lost boy looking for his mother just standing there with a sad look in his face. Zane who was still in the meeting hall came out and happen to see Caleb standing there.He watched him for a few minutes before he walked over to him. “You look troubled.” He commented, Caleb turned his head and looked at him. He knew this man did not like him.But at that moment he did not know what came over him. Caleb opened his mouth and asked the man for help. “I need your help, Zane.” His request shocked Zane himself.He only went there to mock him but when he took a closer look the man looked broken. Zane sighed and gest
Caleb now understood what the problem was, with him not wanting to confront Victoria in front of Nazima last night made her think that he was enjoying what Victoria was doing. Which was far from the truth.Caleb only wanted to confront Victoria far away to not make Nazima angrier than she already was. He was trying to be considerate towards but ended up making things worse.Thinking that she was right by what she said and taking Caleb’s silence as an agreement, Nazima continued. “What I don’t understand is why you strangled her if you were enjoying her company so much, or was it part of the romance. People are into a lot of things you never know.”Caleb’s eyes widened, yes, he was into that thing but that was not what happened between him and Victoria. “Then again, she might not have liked it much because she came here afterwards.” When she said that Caleb got the idea of what happened and how Nazima got to know about what went on between him and Victoria.“I need you to stop talking
Brandon was called to the station early in the morning. When he got the call he was worried that maybe one of his staff members had reported him for what happened. But he was Brandon Roberts, CEO of the biggest company in the country and he was going to take care of the problem.He had people who could make anything go away, he need not to worry about such minor things. Brandon had his breakfast alone thinking about his men who have not reported back to him in hours.The matter about the police was going to be taken care of anyway so he did not worry about that. But the matter his men were dealing with was of importance and was going to make Brandon millions.He needed that to be resolved and the Naga leader back in his lab and even more of his kind if possible. He got out of the house and his driver and guards were already waiting for him.He settled into the backseat of the car then instructed. “To the police station.” The driver only nodded
In the evening of that every same day. Nazima was preparing to meet Caleb when Zane came to her with a worried look on his face. Zane was not one to wear such a look for nothing and when Nazima saw it, she knew that something was seriously wrong.She dropped what she was doing and walked closer to him. “What is the matter?” a lot of things were in her mind at that time. She thought of the humans, Caleb, and Victoria.“Our scouts have just reported another boat in the same area those ones were following us to. They are heading to our direction.” Zane informed. I did not know if the people on the boat were from the company or not.But who else would know where to look for them if not the company? Austin was probably dead, and his friends were dead too. Who else would come looking for them if not the company?“They don’t know where we are, and we don’t know if they are looking for us. Have the scouts continue to keep
Grenades were being thrown like hot stones, too hot for the men to keep in their hands for too long. Their actions were provocative and violent. Caleb and the warriors heard the explosions before they could even come to view of the boat.“Two of you with me, we will look for the divers and get rid of them. the rest will deal with the men on the ship.” Caleb gave orders to the warriors. Since the humans didn’t learn the first time, he was going to make sure to teach them a lesson they will never forget this time.They were stubborn creatures it seems and yet they were weak. Caleb admired their resilience but cursed it at the same time.He and the two warriors dived deep and searched for the divers. They saw the first one busy doing something on the rock. He was planting the explosives.“We must hurry, we don’t know how long it will take for each of those things to explode.” Caleb urged, he was not worried about their kind getting injured as he believed they were far enough.What he wa
Their eyes widened in shock, the explosion was loud and that could mean only one thing. The humans have found them. while the others were still in shock Nazima was already swimming out.“Nazima wait, Nazima!” Caleb called out but Nazima was already gone. Caleb tried to get up and follow but the healer pushed him back down. “Where are you going? You are already injured and lost a lot of blood. You will only be in the way out there and the queen can take care of herself if that is what you are worried about.”Caleb could not believe the audacity of his subordinate. How dare she tell him what to do? He was her general and he was the one giving orders not her!“Get out of my way Nadine, your queen is alone out there, and she needs me.” the woman looked at Caleb as if he had just lost his mind. What was he talking about anyway? The queen was more than capable of taking care of herself and everyone knew that.Caleb, knew that better than anyone, or was there a different reason for him to wa
