Lord of Origins Chp 109 - At Long Last
Shamefaced, Victoria made a move to stand up from her kneeling position before she would apologize to Damien.“No, do it like that,” Isabella said testily .her patience stretched thin.She saw the fleeting amazed look that her head made her but she ignored it as she waited with raised brs for ht latter to get ahead.Victoria knelt very well again before she mumbled something that Isabella couldn’t quite hear “What?! I didn’t catch that. Apologise and stop wasting my damn time! Or will you prefer I call in your subordinates? A larger audience should open your mouth wide enough, don’t you think?” Victoria flinched at the mention of that and he said loud and clear “Please, forgive me, sir. I shouldn’t have disrespected you. I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I promise to never do such a thing again,” she said in contrition and Isabella could see tears dropped from her eyes when Damien just stood there without saying anything.“Ma, I…” Victoria looked at her then back at Damien “I have s
Lord of Origins Chp 110 - My Name Is Isabella
Damien knew that there was no point in dragging this out anymore. He decide to just tell her whatever he knew without putting the New Clan vampires in trouble. What did she want from him, after all? He wondered, yet he knew that he was now in her debt. Originers pay their debts in full. Even though Damien was now picking up the habit of lying just as these people, gratefulness was an inherent part of the Originers that he couldn't do away with. She saved him twice, so he was ready to give her the truth. Whatever that was. It seemed like she could see his resolve to come clean because she merely nodded her head after giving him a long look.Then she said "Come and have your seat"Isabella led him to the loveseat closest to the door and Damien sank in the eye comfortable with a beautiful, patterned, cover."Would you like to have anything?" she asked him but he shook his head. He wouldn't care to ask for anything even though he had not eaten since the day before. He just wanted to get
Lord of Origins Chp 111 - Respect For A Trash?
She insisted on sending him back to where he lives. She wrote a note for him to give to his employer and Damien left the palace.He wondered if he would be allowed to go scot-free if he should go back to the Macmillans. "They would not dare to do anything to you when they see this note" She stated confidently as if she could read his apprehension. "Unless you will rather go back to your people. Where do your people live here in Santa Eyre?" she asked with an intent look.Damien panicked as he wondered where to tell her. He couldn't possibly tell her that there was an underground city connected to her father's palace. Could he? He knew that she would find out if he just randomly tell her a casual place. So he panicked."Is that also another secret?" she said with a small smile. "I will find out eventually but for now. A driver will be waiting for you downstairs. I will be in touch" she said simply before turning away from him. She went towards the inner chamber and Damien rushed out o
Lord of Origins Chp 112 - Dad, You Hit Me?
By the time the driver finished his statement, it wasn’t only President Macmillan and Sybill that were amazed, Damien himself couldn’t believe his ears.He now knew the reason why she gave him that confident smile when she said that he would hear from her soon enough. It was because she had a plan all along. “What? She asked this…this thing to come and live in the palace?” Sybill’s shocked statement had Damien looking back at her in surprise. He thought she wanted him away from her house before. Why then was she showing outrage now? He wondered.Sybil turned to her father when the driver only nodded his head “No, dad. You can’t allow that. He is our servant after all. How can one…one…” she sputtered when the driver looked at her sharply and her father turned an aghast expression on her as well. “I mean, the princess cannot just take him away from us, can she?” then as if she just remembered something, she held on to her dad’s arm as she shouted “Remember what he did to Sonia? Dad, w
Lord of Origins Chp 113 - Finally Back
“Damien!” The excited shout had a smile split Damien’s face as he definitely knew who that voice belonged to! True enough, the driver had barely parked well enough, when Andrea jumped out of the vehicle and ran towards where they stood.Sybil rolled her eyes and scoffed even as the driver, Butler Shawn and President Macmillan shouted in panic at the way she jumped out of the car.Andrea looked at them all like what she did was not a big deal even as her driver ran out from the driver’s side and quickly bowed to the ground as he pleaded “I am so sorry, sir. I never knew that she would jump out like that. I will be more careful next time, sir. Forgive me, sir”“Stupid” Sybil, who still had her hand firmly on her reddened face, muttered.“He is not stupid!”Andrea shouted, her face red and her pigtails flying. “You are the stupid one! Dad tells him to stand up. He did not do anything!” Andrea said to her father.President Macmillan shook his head before telling the driver to get out of h
Lord of Origins Chp 114 - Trash Like You?
Damien still couldn't believe what was happening. Even as the driver followed him to the staff house to take his meagre belonging, he half expected someone to shout that it had all been his imagination. The workers around looked at him in awe as he entered and even the cook did not have her perpetual scowl on her face that evening so Damien thought that someone must have informed them all about the new situation. He couldn't think of any work that he had seen around while the occurrence at the main house was going on. Except maybe Butler Shawn and Aliamin but at that moment, the two were still at the main house. "I heard that you are finally leaving. Did the boss finally send you away?" The cook couldn't seem too resistant she gave the well-dressed driver behind him a thorough scrutiny. Damien derived pleasure in giving her a reply. Finally, he wouldn't have to tiptoe around her anymore. "Not at all. I am leaving on my own." he answered then after a pause, he added "To a better pla
Lord of Origins Chp 115 - Is It True?
The cook must have thought that she was about to miss an opportunity because she ran so fast behind him to catch up to him before he left. Damien was amused as he heard her heavy footsteps behind him and the events of how she had dealt with him in the past ran through his mind. The starving, The cold foods. The leftovers that she would scrape together for him from other people's plates even when he was sure that there was still food left enough to feed more than one. The lies, The accusations.All these thoughts went through Damien's mind in a matter of seconds and the remembrance of the helpless feeling he had had during those moments wiped off the little amusement he felt earlier. He was tempted to have her run after him till they got to the car but then he thought better of it."Stop running after me. I will not do it" he snapped at her, not giving a damn that others around had come out to stand on the porch and they were all whispering to themselves. He decided not to tune into wh
Lord of Origins Chp 116 - The Blast
Isabella couldn’t understand why she was anxious. She was a princess for pity’s sake and here she was, dancing forth and back. Checking her phone, and the clock and looked out the window like an anxious wife awaiting the return of her husband.“Ridiculous” she laughed self-deprecatingly before she tossed her phone aside on her bed and said to herself firmly that she would stop this nonsense this minute. She went to the bar to pour herself a chamomile rum. The only thing close to alcohol that her father had allowed her to store in her bar. Isabella still couldn’t understand the logic of his thinking when she had assorted varieties of wines at her disposal, alcoholic and non-alcoholic wine but he had only laughed when she asked him that and said he was not going to have a drunkard on his hands. So, chamomile rum it was. Isabella suspected that he only allowed that because of the sentimental reason attached to it. It had been her mother’s favourite evening drink.Isabella poured a gener

Chp 227 - Epilogue
Months Later...Damien stood in the palace of Santa Eyre. He was looking down through a concealed portico at the people down in the palace waiting room.The creme de la creme of Santa Eyre was down there. All of them were waiting for him to see them on one issue or the other. It had been the routine for Damien for the past months now. There had been a lot to deal with, after their encounter with Ulric. The King's burial had been an international affair. King Saldus had been a very influential and well-beloved king. Presidents of countries, well-known CEOs all over the world, and dignitaries from different continents were in Santa Eyre, for days, to celebrate the dead king.They all believed that the king had died peacefully in his sleep. Only Damien and his inner circle knew that there was more to the king's death. There had been a dark essence to his chakras. Damien still couldn't come to terms with how much Ulric took from them. The call Allan received after the battle with Ulric,
Chp 226 - A Decision To Make
Total darkness filled the whole house as the power supply went off all of a sudden. The only silhouette that could be seen was the dark mass gathering again in the middle of the room. It was so massive and tall that it seemed like a giant was forming out of it. The witches rallied together and a spark of fire ignited above them to conquer the dark. Light could be seen from afar but the immediate environment of Damien’s house was as dark as the void itself. “I will purge you abominations from this earth!” came the terrifying voice of Ulric as the darkness swirled around the lights and they all went out again. One of the witches screeched, and by the time the magic light was lit again, she could be seen grabbing her throat, as blood poured out of her mouth and sunken eyes. “We need to take this motherfucker out!” Liam shouted and the rest were right with him. Damien took the lead as they charged the dark mass again. Damien released the orb and every protective substance he had in t
Chp 225 - Will Not Fail
Everyone in the room looked at each other as the mocking voice of the man they all knew, had heard of, and heard of resounded throughout the house. The distortion to his voice was horrid and the frightening element in it was only causing more fear in those around. Only the leaders were still stoic. The soldiers were half paralysed with fright as King Saldus went on and on to describe explicit ways that they would all be obliterated that night. Exactly at 11:58 pm, the voice stopped talking and Isabella’s phone exploded right there in the middle of the room. It was charred beyond recognition. A blast of wind rocked the shingles of the house. Suddenly, the witches all exclaimed “Stench of the underworld” A knock sounded at the door at exactly 12:00 am. They all looked at each other and beneath the bravado, was a hint of apprehension. They all knew that they might not come out of this alive. Still, the witches flung the door open by magic and someone tumbled inside. Even as everyone
Chp 224 - King Kovarick...Dead?
Sky did not wake up immediately. Morgan tried to wake him up but she eventually looked up at Damien and others. “I think he used up his vitality. Ulric did something else with Sky that he had never done with any other host before. He used him up. He might…he might never wake up” she said with a sigh of defeat. “No, no. that is not possible. Do something leader. You have to do something!” Michael said in desperation. Damien knew that but then he thought of the fact that Ulric might want to use Sky’s condition as a distraction for them while he strike from elsewhere. Damien was the head of the group and their link make them strong together, just as he make them vulnerable together as well. If Damien was caught in the realm while trying to heal Sky, any damage done to him at that moment will affect the whole group as well. He was sure that Ulric had a plan to do something to them while they were trying to heal Sky. Though it was difficult for him to do; he had to ask “How long can he
Chp 223 - One Of Us
“You changed her?” Michael confronted Damien the moment he got back to the house. He had to teleport Laura back with him since she was still very much out of it. He had just placed her in his room, where Morgan and Isabella were keeping an eye on her when Michael confronted him just as he came out of his suite.Here we go. He thought. Anger welled in him for the reminder of his guilt. He respected Micahel for being a stickler for rules but at the moment, he did not care to be reminded that he had failed to protect his woman. He did not need the clan leader to rub more salt unto his wound. Not at all.“If you have a thing to say, just say it,” Damien said as he bypassed Michael on his way to the main floor.“If I…” Michael paused in disbelief then he lengthened his stride to meet up with that Damien. “If I have a thing to say? We never change humans. You know how precarious they could be and you went to turn one of them?”“She is one of us now,” Damien said as he turned back to face hi
Chp 222 - Smith Is Butler Shawn's Son?
Sybill Macmillan couldn’t believe what was happening! When Andrea called her to inform her, she thought that her bratty sister was just acting up. Truth be said, Andrea didn’t appear as bratty as she used to be. Sybill felt it must have to do with the fact that she didn’t have to see her daily anymore. It had all started long before Sybll left for school. Andrea had capitalised on her invitation to the palace by the king, an invitation orchestrated by that nobody. Damien. Sybill still couldn’t think of him without distaste in her mouth but she didn’t dare say any of her thoughts aloud.Who could have thought that a mere gawking, gardener? A good-for-nothing would turn out to be a prince. A referred prince for that matter that the whole of Santa Eyre and its environs had become submissive to. Sybill snorted as she remembered the rumour she had once heard that the king intended to pass the throne to Damien. Sybill doubted if the king would be so dumb to do such a thing. Why would a man
Chp 221 - The Awakening
Laura’s awakening was messy, to say the least. She woke up hours later feeling disoriented, groggy and out of it. It took her a while to recognise Damien. Then she blurted out “I love you” thoughtlessly. In the next moment, she was shouting bout feeling so thirsty, then she started pulling at her hair and agitating about hating her skin. Her clothes felt too tight. Her head hurt and she felt like she would die if she did not eat something.Damien knew what was happening. Despite how much he wanted to ignore it, the inevitable couldn’t be denied. Laura had become a vampire and if he did not do something about it, she would die within the first hour of her awakening. He tried to talk to her during that moment to see if she would rather choose to die than become a fully-formed vampire, yet it was like singing a lullaby to a deaf kid. She could hear him. She seemed to have some iota of consciousness but she was not comprehending what he was saying.“Okay, okay. Can I eat now?” was the ans
Chp 220 - Laura's Death
It finally dawned on Damien why Sky/Ulric wanted him to see him draining the life out of Laura. It was just so he could make a difficult decision or live eternally with the guilt of causing the death of the girl that he only belatedly realized he loved. Tears trailed down Morgan’s face as she stood up. “It is no use. I…I can’t do it. There is nothing to draw from. I can’t heal her.” She spread her bloodied hands to the sides as anguish soaked her voice. “My hands are filled with her blood, and I can’t bring her back. I was supposed to be better than this”“Now, now. You shouldn’t beat yourself up, A Ghra. This is not your fault” he looked straight at Damien over Morgan’s head “This mess was not for you to sort”“What the hell did you just call me? How can you be so cold and glib right now?” Morgan lashed out at him. “An innocent girl is dying for God’s sake. She did nothing wrong! She is dying and there is nothing I can do. That… bastard drained her lifeblood. He wanted us to watch h
Chp 219 - Ebbing Life Fire
Laura called him in the wee hours of the following morning. He almost couldn’t believe his eyes as the true caller on his phone identified the number. The call brought back the memory of the kiss they had shared and the messy feelings that seemed to take hold of him whenever he heard her name or that of anyone related to her. “Laura?” he called her name like a question. “You are…”“Awwn, isn’t this sweet?” everything stilled inside Damien as he heard Sky’s voice. Fuck it! He yelled in his mind, knowing immediately that damage had been done. If not, why would…Laura!“What have you done to her, Ulric?” Damien asked instantly.“Ulric? Who is that? There is only your buddy, Sky, here. Remember me?” Sky’s horrid tone said over the phone.Damien quelled all forms of imagination that wanted to come to his head about what could have happened to her as he said calmly “She has nothing to do with this. I thought you were said to be a wise man. Surely, you must know that she is a human and she i
