Lord of Origins Chp 118 - Perfect Guest
Damien almost dropped his bag in his surprise. What is this? He wondered wide-eyed. “Did that big tv just talk or is someone around?”He looked around hastily and even peered up at the ceiling to see if anyone was trying to cause mischief. All he saw was the intricately designed pop ceiling and the mesmerizing chandeliers that beamed down at him.Before he could look further, he heard “Will you like to take your time to decide or should I list out the available channels?”Damien felt that something must be wrong somewhere, now that he was sure that the sound was coming from the Tv. He was looking straight at it after all.Even though he felt like running out of the room to tell the maids that something was wrong with the TV, he knew that would give Victoria more reasons to insult him. So, he squared his shoulder and said in a serious tone “Pick Channel 3”“Good choice. Channel 3 coming up in a second. Here you go. Enjoy!” the voice replied chirpily and true enough. A program came on.
Lord of Origins Chp 119 - Kostos, Definitely Not.
The king asked in a stern voice “Who the hell are you and what are you doing with my girl?” all the softness that was on his face earlier when he was talking to the anonymous Mon Cherie was all gone. His face was like that of a lion who wouldn’t hesitate to tear his prey apart within seconds.“I…I am Damien, sir”“I am not interested in your name, you idiot. And I am no sir to you, you call me Your Highness. Have you no idea how to address a royalty?” Damien could have easily answered yes to that question but the man was already saying something else. He looked up in thought, rubbing his barely-there beard as he said contemplatively “Damien, Damien. Have I ever heard of any young master with that name?” he shook his head before turning back to Damien “What is your surname? Where are you from?”That question of his origin made Damien sputter and he said in a panic “I am from….My family name is Kostos”“Kostos” King Saldus repeated to himself “No, definitely not” then to Damien “You st
Lord of Origins Chp 120 - Losing My Mind
Isabella woke with the sound of a scream ringing in her ears. That sound. That sound sounded inhuman. She doubted that any human would make such a sound. It was too primal. Too…Isabella jerked back her coverlet and climbed out of bed when she realised that she was drowning in her sweat. The high-power AC in her room and the fact that she slept with just a tube and pants on did nothing to detract from the heat that was pumping off her body. She was too weak to go to the kitchen so she merely went to the minifridge close to the sitting area to get a bottle of water. She gulped it down while standing as the cold vent of the ac buffetted hr exposed skin.Her sweat dried up in no time but that did nothing to reduce the way her system was still jumping. Just like a junkie on the rebound, she walked groggily towards the bathroom she entered the shower and simultaneously pressed the cold shower button. She didn’t even jolt as the cold water sluiced over her, drenching her hair, tube and bra
Lord of Origins Chp 121 - All About Your Young Man
Damien couldn’t bathe. When the forbidden tone of Victoria rang in his mind, with the message “He doesn’t like to be kept waiting”, he only brushed hastily and tossed his clothes on before running out of the room.He halted when he met two burly guards in front of his door. They gave him a once over before one of them said “Follow me”Damien tugged at his well-worn shirt as he followed the silent guard down the staircase. He remembered that the king had said he was on the same floor with the princess so he looked around to gauge where she could be staying but the guard was moving so fast that Damien couldn’t even get the lay of the land, so to say.When he heard snickers from passing maids and royal officials, he knew that it must have something to d with his shabby wear. Every one of them was formally dressed and their uniforms seemed to be according to their post yet he looked so frumpy beside even the maids.The guard nodded at two guards that stood in front of a tall, intricately
Lord of Origins Chp 122 - Be My Assistant
Damien was later told to excuse them at the table. He had no idea what the father and daughter duo were talking about but even he could see how angry the king was with the princess. Damien wondered what will be his plight if the man could be so angry at his daughter that he threw the napkin in his hand aggressively on the succulent pies in front of him. That was when the princess tried to explain herself again without sitting down as her father told her. The guards were still at the door and Damien wondered if they thought he was going to run out of the palace under such a condition. Though he didn’t want to be anxious, he couldn’t help but be. He did not even have his phone with him to know if Sky had called him or not. He had no idea if the New Order Clan heard anything about what happened to him at the Macmillans. He was sure that Sky must have heard through Sybil if he was in school. After all, that girl would jump at anything to paint him black. “Oh, look at you” Helios bega
Lord of Origins Chp 123 - Dreams Do Come True
Damien couldn’t believe that his wish would be granted so easily. He thought the princess wouldn’t want him to be out of her sight as she had stated earlier and he was fully expecting her to deny his request. But she had not done that. She added an extra benefit to it. Damien was happy that he get to go back to school again yet he was a bit sad about the fact that his uniform was now ruined. It was far from the pristine wear that it once was. he finally resolved to wear his regular wear to school the following day. He knew he had asked too much of Sky and others already but he had no choice but to ask him the next day for ways to get a new uniform. Damien found out that he was getting tired of asking people for favours, especially when those people could get hurt from being connected to him. He had an inkling that Sybil wouldn't just let him off if he went back to school. He took her threat to make life miserable for him if he went back to school seriously and he knew that things we
Lord of Origins Chp 124 - Trash and Counterfeits
Damien was happy to get to school on time. Only a few students were around when he alighted in front of the school gate and he directed the driver to leave.“I am supposed to wait to take you back to the palace. That was the directive I was given” the driver said.Damien looked at him in surprise but then he realised that the man was serious. He quickly thought of what to say and he got one “The school do not allow drivers to wait in the car on school premises, so you will have to leave. I can walk to the palace by myself”“I am sorry, sir but it is the princess’s order. Besides nobody in this school would dare to send away a driver from the palace” the driver said confidently.“Why?” Damien asked, just as he remembered that Michael once told him that the school belong to the royal family. Which means the king. Which means the princess can do whatever she wanted.Damien knew that having the driver wait for him or people seeing him in that expensive car was asking for trouble. He had e
Lord of Origins Chp 125 - The Showrunner
“You want to do what?” King Saldus asked with a narrowed gaze on his daughter, who suddenly reminded him of her younger self as she twiddled her thumbs. She once had that habit when she wanted to ask him for something important to her. Twiddling her thumbs, even as she looked straight at him like she was not anxious for his reply. Isabella looked away momentarily from her father’s penetrating gaze as she repeated with a shrug. “Dad, you have always wanted me to go out. To mingle with people my age. To live a normal life. Isn’t that the reason why you set up that ridiculous show of having men parade themselves for me to choose from? So, I am saying it now that I will like to finally go out there and…mingle. You can quit my tutorship programs. Tell the tutors to stop coming or keep them. You don’t even have to worry about the fact that I am not making any friends too. I am sure that I will make plenty of friends in that school too. I can just complete my high school programme there and

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
