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
Lord of Origins Chp 126 - Good Afternoon, Young Master
Damien knew the students will pick up from where they left off the moment the classes were over. They did not disappoint. He was expecting Sybil to be the first to confront him but then he had been hearing her whispered conversation with the tawny-eyed Laura when the classes were ongoing. She had wanted to leave her seat the moment Mr Dax left the class, after giving Damien a warning that he should make sure he submit his assignment to him before the end of the school period the next day. But then Damien saw Laura pull her down again. They were still having a heated discussion when Mr Dax entered the class and the class commenced. Classes were had back-to-back that day. The examination period was oncoming. So, Damien couldn’t tell if the others had been unable to try anything else because of the teachers and swamped classes as well or because they were biding their time. He was sure that if eyes could bore holes in a body. He would probably have multiple holes in his head by the ti
Lord of Origins Chp 127 - A Girl Like Morgan
“What? Did I hear that right? Who is…” “Let’s go now!” Damien said urgently to the driver before the latter could get to him. The driver’s eyes widened in surprise with his hands still outstretched for Damien’s bag, then he quickly nodded as Damien passed him and he entered the car since Damien had already opened his door by himself anyway.Damien did not look out of the window till the car left the school premise. He knew that the school would be abuzz with the news.He was exasperated about the fact that he would have more problems to deal with from that moment on. “Why didn’t the driver do as I said?” he thought abruptly.He looked up to see the driver giving him a curious look “I told you to go back” he said to the driver.The driver shook his head slightly as if trying to dislodge something and he said “Princess said I must wait for you. Princess said I must bring you back”Then he concentrated on his driving. Damien wondered what happened between the time the driver had left a
Lord of Origins Chp 128 - Prissy Ms. Mace
Damien couldn’t prevent the inevitable since Princess Isabella had given him a stern warning the day before. The driver also didn’t bother asking him if he should drop him outside the school gate. He simply drove straight to the school grounds and headed to the waiting lot, where other divers that were waiting for their charges stayed. “Okay. I know you told me some of it over that badass phone of yours yesterday but now I want the full gist” Damien turned to see Sky lounging against his refurbished bike with a wide, excited grin on his face. He looked at his Patek Phillipe watch, one of the additions that had been added to his wardrobe before he got home the day before. He looked back at Sky with questions in his eyes. “What?” Sky asked with a scoff. “You have never been to school this early before,” Damien said with a smile even as he realised what happened. Sky deliberately came early to school to see the car that the students had been talking about the day before. Sky was not
Lord of Origins Chp 129 - Dog, Fetch For Your Master
“Uhhh,” Cade’s friends jeered as Damien turned back to face Cade.For a moment uncertainty flickered over Cade’s face when he saw the direct, stern look that Damien directed at him. Then the look was gone as Damien bent down to pick the keys from the floor.“Yes, Dog. Fetch for your master” Cade said as he stretched his hand forward for Damien to give him his keys back. His friends were all laughing and jeering while some whipped out their phones to record.Damien could feel Sky seething in anger beside him but the latter seemed to have decided to let him handle it. He moved towards Cade slowly.“See what I said? You just have to treat this trash and nobodies just the way they should be and they will fall in…ouch, my hand”It was so fast that even Sky hadn’t seen it coming. None of them saw the actual act, not even those with the cameras.All they could see was that Damien passed beside Cade so fast and now, Cade was on the floor cradling his hand as he yelled that it was broken.“Tha
Lord of Origins Chp 130 - Isabella in Maryland High
Damien determinedly tuned out the murmurs, veiled taunts, and threats of his classmates as he got to class that morning. Sky was soon occupied by a discussion as some of them asked him about the car that people were talking about. It was funny that nobody was asking Damien directly since he was the one that rode in the car. Damien was more than satisfied to be left alone anyway as he quickly went through his assignment to be sure that he had everything in place. Ashton and his minions were not in class yet. Neither was Sybil. Damien knew when Laura entered though he did not look up and he could feel her curiosity as she looked over at him from time to time he had no intention of satisfying that curiosity. If she wanted an explanation, she could simply listen to Sky’s slightly embellished story as he regalled his enthralled audience with the anecdote about the magnificence of the car. When one of them asked Sky if he was aware that Damien could have stolen everything he had just to fi
Lord of Origins Chp 131 - She Likes You
The day took a different turn for Damien after Isabella got to class. All attention was diverted from him as the students vied for her attention and they all fell over each other as they tried to show her their worth and the reasons why she should consider choosing them as a friend. Apart from the tour she had accepted from Laura after the break period, she had only smiled politely and declined every other invitation. That didn't stop them from trying though. In fact, the more she declined, the more they rallied around her table with their latest offer.Though she did not even share him a glance, Damien could feel her emotions as plain as day. Though her polite smile did not waver for once, he could feel her annoyance about the student's behaviour. In fact, at times, he felt that she was close to snapping at one of the boys who felt that her rejection only made her more "hot"; yet she never did show any sign of anger. She was pleasantness-personified.And she totally ignored Damien's

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
