Lord of Origins Chp 175 - Leaving Him
Chapter 175 - Leaving….Him“When is this going to stop?” Damien wondered with anger as the King’s garda locked the door of the cell behind him. Hearing the clanking sound of the cell door before the stocky man who had brought him there walked away, made Damien shake his head. He turned back to look at the lemon and black colour of the Garda as he walked away with a swagger after he locked Damien in without listening to his explanation. The Garda were called the King’s police and all they do was maintain peace and order in the palace and the environs. They were the ones that the king send when he wants top-notch security at a certain place. Damien had always thought that the flamboyantly dressed palace guards are the brains behind the palace security but he only realised that he had been wrong the night before. By linking his mind to that of one of the Gardas, he was able to get every knowledge about them that the man knew. They were created by the first prince of Santa Eyre, the gr
Lord of Origins Chp 176 - Mess Up And You Are Dead
“Come out”Damien turned away from the tiny, barricaded window at that command. Another Garda police were opening the door. He gestured at Damien to follow him. And Damien followed. He mused at the fact that he was just one step away from doing what could have shocked the Garda before they came for him. He wondered what was the problem this time around when the Garda didn’t just take him outside this time; instead, he directed him to enter a van that was waiting outside already. Another Garda was at the wheel.Damien entered the van and the driver started the ignition.What now? Damien thought. He didn’t have to think much though because they were soon at the palace. The Garda police only escorted him to the entrance and watched him go in before they left.Damien was confounded by what was going on and he wondered why they would just let him go like that. Is the king no longer angry? Did the princess speak on his behalf? Was she still around at all? She had promised to leave after al
Lord of Origins Chp 177 - Welcome To The Club
Silence ensued moments after the king left. Then Isabella wiped her face once more and looked up at Damien.“You can go now. I…I need to freshen up” she said without looking at Damien.“That is all?” Damien asked in a spurt of anger. “Just “You can go now?” after everything he said. After…all this? I need an explanation, princess,” he said loudly.Her eyes flamed as she looked at him “Now look here. In case you have forgotten your place, I will have you know that you can’t just talk to me like that merely because you want to. I am not going to stand for it”“Oh, you won’t? You…”She sighed suddenly and the momentary spark was gone as she deflated and sat heavily on the couch again. Her voice sounded as weary as she looked when she said “Look, I am just tired, okay? Let’s do this later” Damien didn’t want to do anything later. He wanted everything thrashed out now. Now and not later. He wanted to know what the king meant by making him a prince. Now. he wanted his answers now. But the

“You know what? Screw this. He could decide on this when he gets back. I am not getting late for anything” With that, Isabella gestured to Damien that he should get into her car. Damien gladly entered and he turned to look at her as she entered the car and gunned the engine. “You could have left me,” he said quietly. Isabella only laughed lightly, a sound he had not heard from her in weeks. It was a welcome sight to Damien but at the moment, he didn’t appreciate the fact that it was at his expense. Especially when she said “Oh, I am not doing it for you. I just felt that you might run away on the way to school if left by yourself” “I wasn’t…” “Oh, you mean that look on your face back there was all “Oh, I am enjoying this. Let’s have more of it?” she said with a laughter that grated on Damien’s nerves. He only grunted and turned away from her. “Loosen up, brother,” Isabella said as she stopped laughing. “It is not as bad as you are taking it. I am sure that you will soon get used
Lord of Origins Chp 179 - A Mate To Find
Damien was amused by the frustrated glare that Isabella threw in Sky’s direction before she turned to him with a “This is not over gaze”. She waved briefly at Sky as she came down from the car and headed towards the entrance. She turned back to Damien. “Oh, I forgot. Dad made the announcement already. You are going to be a busy boy today” “What announcement?” Damien managed to ask before Sky ran around the car and got to Damien’s side. “Dude!” he shouted. “I can’t believe you have been holding out on me! Since when have you known?” Sky screeched into Damien’s ears as he shook the latter in a bear hug. “Maybe if you stop yelling into my ears. I will know what you are talking about and I will tell you what you want to hear” Damien said with mock annoyance. “A prince?” Sky said with a mock horrified expression as he backed away from Damien. “Am I supposed to bow down in greetings now? Maybe I am now supposed to be this close to royalty? Your Highness, please forgive me!” he said in
Lord of Origins Chp 180 - Stupid Kiss!
A few months later! “Congratulations Laura! I am so proud of you, my darling girl” Laura was jolted out of her reverie as she got enveloped in her great-aunt’s jasmine-doused blossom. “Uhh, Aunt Harry, thank you,” she said when she managed to raise her head while holding on to her graduation gown to prevent it from falling off. She wrinkled her nose up at her aunt, which made the latter laugh the way Laura had expected, and she looked around. “Where is Dad?” she asked. “Oh, he is packing that big monster he called a car. I will never understand why men think that cars have to be big before they could be respectable. I swear I feel as if a giant monster swallows me whenever I enter that car of his. ” Laura laughed. She could imagine the feeling. Her petite aunt does look small in the Skoda Kodiaq that her father was fond of using. Since any car that had more than two seats was termed big in her aunt’s book, Laura’s dad had stopped paying his aunt any heed whenever she protested a
Lord of Origins Chp 181 - Worth It
“Okay! That totally just happened,” Sky said with a grin as he threw his arm around Damien in a side hug. “Oh, wow. You are something these days, Prince Damien. You just danced with the hottest chick in the whole of Maryland High in front of her parents. Not only were you not shot, but you also seemed to have been accepted as well. Wow”Damien laughed with a shake of his head “Tone it down,” he said as he looked over and waved at Isabella, Morgan, and some other girls to the side. The king had graced the occasion and left earlier. Isabella waved at Damien exuberantly, then cocked her head in the direction of Laura’s family. Morgan only smiled a bit before she looked away. She had changed a bit since Isabella officially declared her as her tutor and she was currently brushing up on her education so she could go to college as well. Still, Damien could feel that she still had her inhibitions.It must be from the fact that she had been betrayed by people who should have loved her from an
Lord of Origins Chp 182 - The Place
“Woohoo! Buddy! we are on our way to Stanford!” Sky bellowed as Damien drove the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail that King Saldus had customised for him. He looked at his friend and laughed out loud. “I was beginning to think that this was a real bad idea” he said and Sky widened his eyes in mock horror. “What?! You are not going to rain on my parade too, are you? I had enough sensible talk from Michel. I don’t want to do sensible for the next twenty-four hours. In fact for the next twenty days. I mean, come on, have a mercy on a heartbroken guy” he wailed out to the air. “You are not heartbroken” Damien said with laughter. “What? What do you call it when your boyfriend, whom you are in love with, specifically told you that he doesn’t think that you could work long-distance and he went right ahead to suggest you give yourselves some time apart? Uhm, what do you call that?” “Seperation” Damien said with a shrug and he laughed out loud at Sky’s expression. Sky merely turned away from him 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
