Lord of Origins Chp 157 - He Has Fed
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
Lord of Origins Chp 158 - Hope You Know, Princess
Damien felt he shouldn’t be so surprised by the fact that everyone was talking about how different he was. He felt different. Everything looks different to him as well. Not physically different as well but a new kind of different. It was as if he had been viewing things through a dirty film before and it was just wiped clean now. Th smells were more alluring o him. The human’s unforgettable scents. That scent that brought to mind the satisfaction of a thirst so unlike another.As Damien drank his soda and listen to the sounds and movements of the palace workers, he knew all he had to do was reach out and take all he wanted. Not that he had to be afraid that they would tell anyway. He could do it and convince them that it was nothing unusual. He could feed off them from spots that no one else would be aware of. He could do a whole lot of things and get away with them too. He could do all those yet something was holding him back. Could it be the feeling that the princess would know some
Lord of Origins Chp 159 - Possibility of Death
Damien felt a kind of deja vu when a fist almost slammed into his face just as he was coming out of the restroom. He moved at the last second and the owner of the fist yelled out in pain as his hand rapped against the door frame.“Son of a bitch!” Cade shouted as he gave Damien a deadly stare. “Oh, you are so dead now!” Cade shouted as he rushed Damien. He expected to pin him to the wall where Dmaien stood, looking innocent as Cade's followers looked down at him with simultaneous shouts of “Oh” but then Damien moved again and Cade rammed his shoulder against the wall where Damien was standing seconds ago.Some of his followers found it hard to hold their laughter back, they snickered and the others looked at Damein in awe as they wondered how he had been able to move that fast.What are you idiots gaping at? Hit him!” Cade shouted in pained anger as he spatted blood out of his mouth. Damien looked away from the crimson on the floor as he saw the boys gauge what Cade said. As if they j
Lord of Origins Chp 160 - Ask them
When Ashton limped out from the restroom area much later, accompanied by the two PT members, his bodyguards rushed towards him in regret. His classmates looked at him in appall."What could have happened to the untouchable Ashton?" was the thoughts in their mind.And when they asked the inevitable questions of what happened to him, the three of them had no idea of what to say. Confusion was written over their faces as they looked at each other before Zack snapped at the girls to move away.A teacher saw him and rushed towards him with a whitened face "What happened to you, young master? Who did this to you?"Ashton's limp was pronounced and his always impeccable look was messed up. He looked like something that was tossed into a churning machine and spat out midway. His hair was messy. His shirt untucked. His tie askew and one of his eyes were bloodshot but then no visible injury or blood stain could be seen on him. It was as if he was methodically and carefully beaten up without any e
Lord of Origins Chp 161 - A Freak and A Demon
Damien went straight home. And just like a man on a mission, he headed towards the staff quarters. She said she would come to him but then he doubted if her time and his would ever correlate.She might be gone again, for all he knew. He was not going to give her time to go far before he caught up with her. She was going to give him the answers he needed. Then he would search for his next link. He needed to get his move on. He had done enough of waiting and learning. He was going to start acting and learning now. He couldn’t find her anywhere. He had activated his invisible mechanism to avoid any unnecessary questions that might piss him off or distract him.“Where the hell was she?” he thought in anger as he went in and out of the kitchen, laundry room and other places yet he couldn’t find her. Yet, he was sure that she was still there. Not that he could feel her the way he could feel the princess. It wasn’t that at all. It was more like a sensation. He sensed that she was still in t
Lord of Origins Chp 162 - You Knew Mum?
“And where do you think you are going?” Princess Isabella asked in a sharp tone as Damien made to leave the room. Damien turned back to her with a shrug “To my chamber” He smiled when she raised her eyebrows in question. “I figured since my duties are done here, I will leave you, ladies, to your… discussion,” he said as he pointed at the morose-looking Morgan. A gesture that earned him a glare that she quickly masked before the princess looked at her. “You figured? You figured after causing all these messes?” Princess Isabella snapped at him. “And would you…” she looked back at the door and reduced the volume of her voice “Would you change whatever it is that is making you invisible to others?” Damien shrugged “Why should I? You can see me” Then he turned to Morgan “She can see me, too” “No!” Morgan denied vehemently, looking away as Isabella looked at her “I can’t see you” she said more quietly. “Ah,” Jason said with a playful tilt of his head “Then I guess it was just my guess
Lord of Origins Chp 163 - What If I m Not...
“She knew my mum” Damien was befuddled by the forlorn tone that the princess used as she entered the room, leaving Damien by the door. He was not confused for long though because he soon realized the reason for her sadness. It wasn’t a secret that the queen, her mother was dead after all. Damien rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked at the clock. It was 01:09 am already. He wondered how long the girls had discussed if the princess was just coming back by that time. He could imagine his legs going numb from all the wait if he had stood behind that door trying to listen in on their conversations. She already sat on the couch, staring into space as if she couldn’t hear him as he came to stand in front of her. Damien knew that she was aware though and he wondered why she looked so spooked or…he had no idea what to call it but she was not the girl he had come to know. “Are you okay?” he asked though even if could imagine how stupid that sounded since she certainly did not look fi
Lord of Origins Chp 164 - Ruining everything
“I have powers too”Damien wondered why it had been too difficult for him to tell her what he was. For all his newfound confidence and boldness, he still couldn’t boldly tell her that he was a vampire. He doubted if she even had any idea of what the word meant.She was silent for a while after he said what he said and he expected that she would lash out at him so but she merely stood up wearily and told him that she was going to bed.Damien was so surprised that he said “What about…” He grew silent though as he thought of the fact that she was giving him an easy way to back out and here he was about to throw away her offer again.“What about what?” she looked back at him and asked when he didn’t say anything again.“Oh, never mind,” he said quickly. “Go ahead and have a good sleep. I am sure that you would be better by tomorrow” She gave him an undecipherable look before heading towards the door. Damien quickly ran forward to open the door for her. Without a word, she went out and Da

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
