Damien just couldn’t. He couldn’t stay there without doing something he wouldn’t regret later. Her beautiful, swan-like neck and trusting eyes were too much for him. So he ran. He hadn’t gone down the first rung of the staircase though before he realised his mistake. A maid that was coming up the staircase almost had an apoplectic fit as she saw him. Her eyes widened as she stammered and looked down at his body before quickly taking her eyes away again.

“Sir”

Damien, who was already on his last thread of patience, snapped at her. “What are you looking at, you idiot?”

“I am sorry, sir,” the maid said in a rush as she looked into his eyes and blanched. She went on her knees. Her stammer became more prominent as she said “I am so sorry sir but the king. He wouldn’t…your dressing, sir” she said after several tries. She gestured at his body without looking up.

Damien tore his gaze away from her outstretched hands, long enough to look down at his body and he swore loud and long. Oh, he had

    Three days. It's been three days and Isabella had not set her eyes on Damien. She had been too weak and scared for the first few minutes when he tore out of his room. Though she had a compelling urge to follow him at that moment she had not acted on it. She had been too busy trying to decipher what just happened as she tried to ignore the sharp pain in her back. Isabella was sure that her father would have Damien beaten to within an inch of his life, and send him out of the palace, right before he had him arrested by the police; if he learnt that he was the one that made her hurt her back. So, she hides her discomfiture from her dad as much as possible. Especially when she noticed how her maid had whitened with worry when she saw the bruise on her back, she immediately came up with a story of how she had not been careful enough and her wardrobe door had smacked her back. She had no idea if her father believe her cliche story but then he seemed to believe her when she told him that

    Isabella was just giving herself a pep talk about getting it together as she faced the mirror over the sink in front of the stall when she saw the door open.s he looked up absentmindedly in the direction of the door and was about to look back when her gaze went back to the door in shock.“Ashton?” she looked around the restroom as if to be sure that she was in the right room then looked back at him as she was sure that she was in the right place. “What are you doing here? This is the girls…”“Yes, I know,” Ashton said with a lascivious smile that looked alien on his innocent-looking face. “I am here for you, babe?”“Babe?” Isabella couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Was the boy mad?”“I can see that you have been on edge,” he said as the ridiculous smile on his face widened and he struck a pose that sickened Isabella as she shut the faucet and turned to him.”I can take care of that for you, you know. I know the right thing that can calm you down”“Is that so? And what will that b

    “Wha…what are you going to do to him?”Damien turned back to look at Isabella when he heard her ask him that question in a tremulous voice. He looked back at the limp, bleeding figure in his hands and looked back at her. “Was that fear I detect in her eyes?” Damien thought in incredulity. Then he realised what he was annoyed about. It wasn’t because he thought the fear in her eyes was because of what had happened to Ashton but of what she thought he would do to him.“What do you think?” he asked in a sarcastic tone. The fact that her eyes widened in something akin to horror annoyed him even more and he felt like he should drop the idiot in his hand and walk out of the restroom undetected.“This is what I get for not minding my business,” he thought acerbically.“I don’t…don’t hurt him…more. I think he is dead. Do you think he is dead? Is he dead?” she suddenly asked anxiously.Damien would have enjoyed this part of the always self-assured princess but he couldn’t. All he felt was ange

    Isabella still couldn’t believe what she had witnessed. In fact, she was sure that she would have doubted it if anyone had realised what happened to her. Of course, she firmly shelved the thoughts of what had happened when she had ordered Ashton to stay back out of anger aside. She knew it would take the solace of her bedroom or a long drive for her to be able to come to terms with the fact that she had almost killed someone.But as she mechanically went through the rest of the school hours, the main thing on her mind was what had happened in the restroom. Especially when she raised her eyes and her gaze met with Ashton’s. She couldn’t smile back as he smiled at her the way he always do whenever their gaze met, she was busy tampering with the urge to rush to his seat, lay his head on the table and check his head again.She was sure that rushing to his side in the presence of the class in the middle of an impromptu session with the physics teacher would help the bastard validate the im

    “And where have you been?” Damien was not surprised when she barged into his chamber with that question. Flung her backpack aside as she glared at him like she would like to have his head on a pike. He knew she was coming up. He knew even before she got down from her car he was amazed by how attuned he was to her even now. Just as he knew that she was anxious that he had left and afraid of what else he had up his sleeve yet her stance betrayed nothing of her inner turmoil. Her head was held proudly like the royalty that she was as she raised her eyebrows at him in question like the royalty that she was.“You mean before now?” he asked with a shrug. “I was at the school helping you with…” he trailed off when her glare sharpened “Oh that,” he said with an innocent look as if he just remembered what she was asking. He almost laughed out loud at the way her eyes only narrowed more. “I had to go away,” he said, some of his gaiety absent.“You had to… and you couldn’t say anything?” she

    The moment he was able to leave the King’s presence, the first thing Damien did was rush off towards the kitchens. The protocol officer met him on the way and gave him an askance look. “What may I do for you, young man?” the elderly protocol officer said with an unhidden sneer on his face. “Young man?” Damien thought with rancour. He would have loved to tell the pompous man that this “Young man” was seven times as old as him but then he doubted if the idiot would have believed him. So why bother, right?“I am looking for someone,” Damien said as he looked over the man’s shoulder towards the kitchen where he could hear the bustle of busy hands and feet. He could see some of them moving briskly from one spot to the other with one steaming something or the ther in their hands.“Erm, erm” the protocol officer cleared his throat, forcing Damien’s attention back to him. He stood straighter as he readjusted his green and gold uniform that has a kind of striped rope around the shoulder. Dam

    “I am working here. I would have you know that whatever I am doing here is none of your business! Stay away from me before you make me lose my job!” she snapped at him. Looking around the hallway to be certain that nobody had seen them together.“None of my business? I think I should tell you that I have grown quite allergic to that statement lately. If I am here, then I am sure that it is my business, don’t you think?” he said with a tilt of his head, the amused expression still on his face.“I don’t have to tell you…” she paused her statement as she gave him an assessing look. “You have changed,” she said.“Another statement that I am sure that I will be immune to soon as well. Mind to tell me just how much I have changed?” he asked in a conversational tone though his expression was suddenly laced with steel. Morgan nee Mary swallowed audibly before she said “Confidence. You are more confident than you were. And…and…there is something else different about you too. I can’t put my fi

    It was always different every time he went there. Something new was always going on in The Abode whenever he went there. The underground city that Michael and his two-generation before him had created and nurtured had become a megacity with a lot of the latest infrastructures as time goes on. The architectural skills of Michael Barlan had a renowned impact on the layout of the city. Damien could remember being amazed by all that had been accomplished in the haven that had been created for the willing vampires after the Big Chaos. Lately, Mathew, the artist brother of the New Order clan, who had not shown much interest in the administration of the clan had actively started participating in the affairs of the clan just like his brother. His artistic creations could be seen in the murals of some of the new architectures that had been erected since Damien came to this new world. The new school that had just been built for the vamp kids was a sign of his participation. “You mean Mathew

    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,

    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

    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

    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

    “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

    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

    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
