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
Lord of Origins Chp 132 - Friends With The Princess
Damien couldn’t believe it when he heard “That was rude, don’t you think?”He looked up in disbelief and surely, it was Isabella. She still had her pleasant smile on her face though steel laced her tone as she inclined her head toward Sybil, The latter was just dropping her bag on her table when she heard the princess.She seemed not to have noticed the lady before because her eyes widened immediately then annoyance showed on her face “Who are you calling…”“Syb” Laura said quietly and her friend looked at her. Though no words passed between the two of them, Sybill backtracked immediately and flashed an insincere smile at the princess.“Oh, I did not see you there, princess. I did not mean to be rude” she added with a saccharine smile before she tightly said “I am so sorry if I have offended you”She turned away from the princess, rolled her eyes and was about to sit when Isabella’s pleasant voice said “I am not the one that needs to hear that, you know”Sybill’s eyes flared as she je
Lord of Origins Chp 133 - Zack In Trouble
The routine continued like that for almost a week. Damien was getting used to his new type of normal; not being the centre of attraction. Even as the test period began and the students became more grounded, especially Damien’s class since this was their last year of high school; they still had time to fawn at Princess Isabella. To invite her to torrents of parties, that she turned down one after the other. To bring her gifts, which she rejected always with a smile of thanks. With the offer of sleepovers, which she politely declined. She was never fazed even when the snobbish students went as far as fighting over who will draw out her chair in the cafeteria or who would hold her books though she was always with a maid and a guard who were more than capable to do those things. Sybill’s gestures were more elaborate than that of any of the rest, yet she got rejected as well. Everyone could see how much Sybill was trying just so the princess could ask for her company just as she had done
Lord of Origins Chp 134 - Hastins Are Rational Beings
Damien thought the event of the day was over since he managed to get to closing time without another huge surprise happening to him. Ashton's glower seemed to have been permanently imprinted on his face every time Damien accidentally looked toward him. Also, the fact that Isabella seemed to have done back to the previous way of acting like she did not know him did not only confuse Damien himself but he could see that the other students were bemused as well.None of them were as surprised as Damien was when she asked him to ride with her in her car. Sky hollered as he collected Damien's backpack and dropped it on the backseat. He then opened the door with a flourish as he said loudly "Your carriage awaits you, your highness. And sir" Isabella let out a tinkling laughter before she told her driver that she would not need his service. She told him to ride with Damien's driver. The latter joined Damien's driver in the white car and they waited for the princess's car and that of her ento
Lord of Origins Chp 135 - Have To Lie
“You bastard! Who do you think you are?!” Damien winced as his locker door was slammed against the side of his head and his side. He was just about to change his cloth after a very lengthy exercise training. The coach had been driving them so hard since they only have three days to their competition. Sky had quickly rushed off to join some new friends he made at the Karaoke stand and Damien just got to the locker room. The pain that lanced into him stole his breath for a second. Raucous laughter sounded all around him and he could tell that there were more than five of them.“What do they want now?” he thought in exasperation as he turned to face them. A blow whizzed by his ear as he turned his head at the exact moment that a fist would have crashed into his face. The owner of the fist yowled as he smacked his beefy hand into the edge of the locker.“Son of a bitch!” he yelled.“Keep your voice down, Ansel. We don’t want that nosy MMrSilas coming over, you know” one of the boys said
Lord of Origins Chp 136 - Cameras In The Locker Room
Damien was startled to see Laura some paces away from the locker room door. She gave his dishevelled appearance a curious look and he almost snapped at her to mind her business.He stalked off just as she opened her mouth to say something. Though he knew it was rude, he didn’t care. Not when she was listed as part of the reason why those idiots wouldn’t have minded tearing him from limb to limb. Though he had refrained from beating the lot of them to a pulp or even drawing blood, he knew that it would only take a miracle for those two to be able to play in the approaching competition match.“I was on my way to your practice,” a familiar voice said just as Damien neared the entrance and he turned around to see the princess walking towards him.“Well, here I am,” he said belligerently.Princess Isabella raised her eyebrows in wonder as she looked behind him as if to check if he was referring to someone else.“Are you okay?” she asked with a tilt of her head.“Yes, princess” Damien answe
Lord of Origins Chp 137- Out-Of-Body Experience
Isabella felt strange looking at the moving wheels of the gurney taking the groaning boys to the vehicle that will convey them to the hospital. She had no idea why she was concerned about any of the snobbish kids but she couldn't change the feeling that she was somehow connected to this."How ridiculous" she scoffed. "Are you talking to me, princess?" one of the maids asked and Isabella shook her head. Good going. She thought to herself."Okay, everyone. The show is over now. You all can go home" the teacher, who had followed the paramedics into the locker room said, dispersing the students.The few of them around, groaned aloud as they turned to leave. Especially since most of them had been expecting that they could enter the locker room to check what had happened to the guys."Yes, thank you. Keep going" the teacher said with a shooing motion. He spotted Isabella and inclined his head before adding "And you too, princess""Yes, sir," Isabella said with a smile as she turned to leav
Lord of Origins Chp 138 - Last Minute Save
“Princess?” Isabella heard the tinny voice from afar. The voice sounded familiar and she wanted to respond but she found that she couldn’t. She winced as the sound of a crunching bocce resounded through her throbbing brain right before she saw one of the boys go flying. She recognised the face. It was the boy with the oxygen mask held to his nose. He… Isabella jerked when the voice called again “Princess? Are you okay? Why are….do you need me to get you something?” Isabella still found herself unable to respond despite how much she wanted to. Panic took over her mind and the images became blurry yet she was more part of it than not. She could still feel the pain of the boys. She could hear the groan of each of them even as she finally noticed what she had sensed was wrong in the whole picture. Despite how many bones were broken, and how much the eerily fast blows had landed on the weak boys that stood no chance against the weirdly deft assailant, none of the damage caused any blood

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
