Chapter 32Marco’s point of view He did by his words, dropping me off at the city by my parent’s apartment. I had wanted him to do some greetings before wheeling away but changed my mind at the next second, and bade him bye instead. Two guards were standing behind me with one of them carrying my luggage. The day was already approaching noon, it took us at least more than three fours; if not four hours to get here. I marched straight through their front yard, arriving at their porch where I placed a gentle knock on the wooden door with modern furniture. As if they were expecting a visitor, the door flung open and my mother’s figure popped out into my vision, behind her stood my father with his arms folded. “You weren’t kidding!” My mother beamed before pulling me into a sensual embrace, which I gladly returned. I can’t remember the last time have seen them. Soon after she pulled away, she noticed the two husky males standing behind me. “Who are-““We’ll talk about them later,
Chapter 33Darius’s point of view The minute ticked to it last ringing to an hour, she’s been away from me now for the past three hours. Is she okay? Is everything alright? Is she fine with her parents? I could only assume positive answers to those questions. I was beyond bothered when I shouldn’t be. I fought the urge of establishing another psychic connection with her so I can communicate with her through it. That might be an intrusion and a cross to a boundary I don’t even know if existed between us. I tried it once, but that doesn’t count as an intrusion because she didn’t know and thanks to it; I became of knowledge to the trouble she’s held in. Two guards are with her, men who are well trained and prominently skilled. They’re excellent warriors that guarantees the safety of my mate, so I really shouldn’t be worried or bothered. I should focus instead on what I have at hand. But I just couldn’t help it, I want her with me, by my side, in my arms even. She had been the obje
Chapter 34Lynette’s point of view My attention centered on my father, I had ask him the most important question, one that cored my curiosity and he went silent. As though contemplating whether or not, he should let me know what I curiously need to learn. Seconds ticked by and I was about calling the silence out when his voice beat me to it. “We went to a seer, and request her to look into your origin, your existence, whatever that accounts to your specialty.” He began, and I realize he was going to narrate in full detail rather than give straight answers. “The Seer spoke about a prophecy, she said something about the sacred red moon, when it shuns at its peak, your fire would burn, it would burn so bright an attraction from it would spread all over. She said, many would crave you and none would offer your safety.” I was following, grasping whatever I could grasp from the tale, trying to create a connection with it all. “We asked what she meant by that, and she enlightened us ab
Chapter 35Lynnette’s point of view I bade them bye, leaving the premises hurriedly before my mom had more chance to stuff more goods with me. Since I told them about Theo’s false plan of having a baby with me. She had been so happy and hyped she opted into packing all the food meant to boost and strengthen my system up to accommodate the life we’re expecting. I tried to stop her but she wouldn’t listen. Now there was nothing I could do about returning empty handed like I came.My father made sure to hand over the piece of paper containing the spell that is suppose to undo the witchery done to me. We were moving out of their house, my guards already ahead of me, settling all that was given to me in the right places in the car. My parents escorted me out of their room, standing by the entrance as they waved at me. “Next time you’re visiting, I want a bump swelling already in your stomach!” My mother yelled from the porch. I chuckled, beneath the pain that shot through me knowing
Chapter 36Lynnette’s point of view The ride to the capital took an extra three hours, but we arrived and for the first time, I’m actually viewing what the capital looks like with my own eyes. Quite different from what I imagined it would look like and pretty impressive actually. The capital is a large estate situated deep amidst the woods of the western region. It’s the home of Lycans, but they are generous with their accommodations to accept lost creatures with no home with them. I hadn’t expected it to be this modern and beautiful, I wonder how much was spent structuring this whole place. The drive to the palace took no longer than a few minutes, the car packed at the right spot in the garage built within the walls of the palace. I stepped out of the car, with a guard at the front aiding my departure. My sight wavered to my surroundings, glancing away from the building that formed off the regency era. The exterior was large and impressive, it reflects the wealth and power hel
Chapter 37Darius’s point of view “You were all betrayals.” My voice toned out, hands falling behind me into a clasp as I stepped into motion, pacing left to right addressing the scene in front. “And as you all know, that is something I do not condone.” My feet halted, gaze trailing to their faces to see the tremor building on their eyes. “Not even in the slightest.” “You held a meeting behind me and discuss together on how to dethrone me. How do you all plead to the proved accusations?” I turned to face them, pushing out my arms as I relayed my words. They exchanged glances, head bent low, the faint smell of fear clouding their aura. “We’re sorry, Your Highness. We were manipulated, we were never going to carry out our plans, Adrien exploited us-“ His gurgled with his words stuck between his throat, my gaze on him intensify as he began gasping for air. A certain invisible force lifted in his lung to keep it from respirating oxygen, in and out. His eyes bulged and sweats domina
Chapter 38He paced around his closet, mulling over the idea skulking at the surface of his mind. He was yet to phone Anders, because he needs to be sure about this. Deciding it was the best and only option, he went back to his room, obtaining his phone on the bed where he flung it, he operated to dial Ander’s number. “Shit!” He cussed, finding out his phone was still dead and he’s yet to charge it back up. The patched up state of the phone does nothing than mock him on his need to get a new one, with a cracked screen, broken battery and many more. He should have gotten it even. However, his earnings, savings were all getting sucked out of his pocket by his debt. One he got in just to save his girlfriend from dying, the lover who later betrayed him and left him for a better man she believed. A knock rang on his door, interrupting his thought as he jerked a head towards the door. It wasn’t unlocked, and the only visitor in mind knocking wouldn’t be anyone other than his assistant.
Chapter 39Marco got to his old apartment, unable to stop his head from recalling what went down right where he was. His girlfriend betraying him, cheating on him, and casting him out. He heaved a sigh, drowning the dejected feeling that seek to shroud his head as he went straight to his wardrobe. He searched under a clean heap of folded clothes, where he found a box. He took the box out, opening it to reveal some documents. He brought one out of them out, giving it an inspective view. It was the document handling his ownership of the house he stood in. And another was a copy of the file he signed when Gina fell out with her sickness, the surgery that was performed for her to save her. His finger trailed on that particular document, letting his mind date back to their good times. She has always been the best girlfriend, never for once messed over the fact that he was beneath her. She’s the daughter to one of the notable family in the city, well respected and wealthy. Yet she f
