All Chapters of The King's Destined Love : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The walk down the white carpet flowing along the stairs felt like walking through the valley of death. The open hall had been turned into a wedding venue with little attempt or effort put into it. The entire staff, except for Mandy, was present alongside my mother and Queen Gladys, and standing right there at the bottom of the stairwell was the devil himself dressed in a blue traditional shirt matching my traditional wedding dress. It bugged me how he could have managed to get these at such a short notice, but I was not surprised considering the fact that he had previously gotten me a dress for Samu’s party. My feet felt numb the moment we reached the last stair and the king handed me over, there were no words of encouragement exchanged, nor was there any hint of protest, and we had all the guards armed and standing around as if waiting for Lincoln to snap his fingers. All there was, was deafening silence and an unmatched fear amongst the guests. Lincoln was too quick to hold me,

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 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 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

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.
