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
Lord of Origins Chp 183 - That Face!
Isabella had decided not to partake in the madness that Sky had proposed. Sure, she liked that dude, but she was not about to give up her comfort for that. Nor did she take up Damien and Morgan’s playful suggestion that she could just teleport herself to the school if she so wanted. Surely her power had grown and she could control it better now, but she had no intention of using it on something so silly. She had this premonition that she would need all the power she had in store very soon. For the moment, she simply took her father’s private, enjoying the luxury of being pampered all the way to California while she laughed at the foolishness of her brother and his silly friend.Brother. Isabella mused at how easily that rolled off her tongue. She couldn’t imagine how easily she had come to accept Damien as family. Maybe it had to do with the fact that they had gone through a lot together in the past months. Morgan and he had become such a constancy in her life that she almost couldn’t
Lord of Origins Chp 184 - Asshole Of Your Dreams
“Damn! I am really friends with a rich dude! Guy look at your crib!” Sky crowd as he got the first view of the blue and white-trimmed mansion. Of course, they had all seen it on the phone together but nothing came close to seeing it up close. Damien was overwhelmed for a moment as he wondered what he had done to deserve such a blessing. His mind automatically went to the events of the Big Chaos and he marvelled at the fact that humans that could be so brutal in their annihilation of his kind could be also capable of such magnanimity.“Let’s go check out the interior. I am sure it is going to be as badass as the exterior. If not more” Sky said as he opened the car door swiftly and jumped out. He looked at Dmaien, who was still behind the wheels “Come on, you want to sprout root out here in the driveway? I am not jumping on that plan, he said as he jogged over to the entrance, and took the porch steps in twos before he swore as he paused a few steps from the porch. “Dang it. I forgot th
Lord of Origins Chp 185 - Consequences Be Damned
Damien watched Isabella go upstairs and wondered what she had on her mind. He knew it wasn’t anything as she had said and he could remember the little talk that the king had with him before he came to school. The man was so nervous about letting his baby girl go that far from him. Though he never showed it in her presence. He had implored Damien to keep an eye on her for him. So technically, Damien was her guardian while they were in California. A fact that he was sure that he would almost kill him for if she knew. “You? A guardian? Pfft! And you couldn’t even get her to tell you what was weighing on her mind? Yeah, good luck with that” a voice that's rounded very much like that of Helios said. Damien start up straight and his drooping eyes cleared “Helios? Helios, are you here?” No answer. Damien lay back again as he wondered if he was hearing things now. He closed his eyes and lay against the headrest of the couch. He was tired from having to drive for almost half the day from S
Lord of Origins Chp 186 - The Assailant
Isabella couldn’t sleep. She tried as hard as she could but the comfort was just not coming at all. She had no idea if it was because of the change of location or the fact that she was hyped to start college life. She thought of different reasons that could be the cause for her unrest. Everything was considered and discarded as she tossed and turned on the large princess bed piled high with fluffy pillows. Everything except the one thought that her mind chided away from.No, Isabella refused to think of the fact that she was restless because of the presence of that arrogant bastard. She was certain that the fact that she thought that he might be here for her had nothing to do with why she was tossing and turning. Though the room was fully conditioned and the staff that arrived at the house minutes after they arrived, had made the room as comfortable as possible did nothing to alleviate her discomfort. They had had a roast for dinner. It was one of the simple food that Isabella loved a
Lord of Origins Chp 187 - Claimed By The Alpha
When Isabella remembered what happened to the victim who had only gone on screaming and screaming, as the assailant broke her limbs rhythmically before bashing her head in, without ever trying at all to save herself, she instantly made up her mind not to go down like the hapless victim in her books.“Get DNA under your fingernails” was the first thought that came to her mind as she reached out to hit the man as he stepped in her path.“Woah!” the man dodged her fist and stepped nimbly to the side as she lashed out with a power kick then he quickly wrapped his arms around her as she almost fell over from her kick.Adrenaline pumping, Isabella clawed at the bastard’s arms that were banded tightly across her midriff in a strong band. Frustrated tears came to her eyes as a thought came to her mind that this strong man wouldn’t be easy to throw off after all. Her struggle seemed futile against his strength as he held her tightly against his body, her back to his body and all she could feel
Lord of Origins Chp 188 - What Are The Odds?
College life was everything that Damien had pictured it to be and more. Sky had filled him in on what they were to expect even before they got the news that Standford University accepted their applications. The orientation program was iconic on its own. Damien had to tamp down the excitement of his urge when packed together with those mass of bodies. The increasing attraction he felt for females of the opposite sex couldn’t be denied as well. The only thing that had stopped Damien from the urge of acting on his increasing fascination with the opposite sex was the fact that he couldn’t picture all the activities that Sky explained in detail without thinking of having a chunky bite out of the long swan-like neck of these beautiful and curvy girls too. He had once thought of telling Sky that but since that would alert Sky to the fact that Damien had fed. Though Damien felt somehow about the fact that he had not informed the man who called him friend about such vital information but the

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
