Lord of Origins Chp 189 - Nobody Dares
Groggy, itchy and irritable, Isabella puttered around the house in her pyjamas. After she snapped at one of the maids, everyone steered clear of her way as she went from her room to the kitchen to the kitchen, out on the porch then back to her room again. The routine had repeated itself multiple times already and the uncertainty of their actions around the young miss that had always been approachable and lively could be seen in the way the domestic staff went about their duties in total.It seemed no amount of silence in the world could quiet Isabella’s raging nerves though nor was there any amount of cold shower that could reduce the discomfort of her heated blood. Nothing seemed uncomfortable on her. She stripped down to her bra and panties and opened the floor-to-ceiling, unique windows in her bedroom. Isabella stood there with her arms outstretched just to get some comfort. The cool, natural breeze seemed to glance off her skin. Nothing, nothing at all was working to calm her rage
Lord of Origins Chp 190- Better Idea
“What am I doing?” Isabella asked herself for the umpteenth time as she sat in the huge living room in the bachelor-styled home. “Who the hell would have a gigantic wall screen in their living room if not for an asshole like him?” Isabella thought spitefully as she glared at the black-coated man at the other end of the door. Though he was looking away from her, he made Isabella nervous and she had had to stop herself twice from asking if it was that idiot that asked him to watch over her.What did he think I would do? Cart away his giant TV? She scoffed as she glared at the man again. The latter was not even looking at her. In fact, he had not said a thing since she came in and he had informed her that Sir would be with her in a minute. “Sir, my foot” Isabella thought and stood up abruptly. She was sure that it must have been ten minutes already since she got there. Well, maybe not but she didn’t care! She was not about to sit here even for a minute while he took his time to show hi
Lord of Origins Chp 191 - Are You A Witch, Mate?
Isabella swallowed hard as she wondered what was happening at that moment. What was wrong with her powers? Why had everything she had learnt in the past months turned ineffective when she needed it most? Would she just stand there like a scaredy chicken while the bastard do whatever he wanted with her? What did he intended to do to her? She wondered in panic. Then she remembered his question as he peered dangerously into her eyes. His orbs looked more feral than that of a human at the moment and she would be damned if she woul let a mad bastard crush her shoulder blades just becuase of what she had no idea of.“Let go of me!” she said in the most threatening, voice she could summoned at that moment. Especially since her insides were jelly and her treacherous body seemed to have other ideas about his nearness.“Who are you?” he repeated again. This times, his voice had taken on a different note entirely. His eyes seemed as if they looked straight down to her soul. The angry edge seeme
Lord of Origins Chp 192 - Tracking The Supernaturals
Damien did not end up calling the king. Not because Isabella opened up to him, of course. But because he finally understood that there were some things that he just needed to leave alone for them to run the course of time. Of course, it had nothing to do about the fact that he was distracted by a certain tawny-eyed girl. Not at all. Nothing to do with the fact that he wanted to unravel the reason why she had always managed to evade him though they study on the same campus. He could see Laura in one minute in a class, a meeting or even the golf club that he had joined out of curiousity and the next moment, she would be gone like she had never even been there at all in the first place. So, yes. The fact that he wasn’t too concerned about the fact that Isabella had gone from been snappy to being hyperactive certainly had nothing to do with nobody. He was just been a supportive brother. Yes, the cool brother. That was what Sky had called it. Days passed and Isabella stopped sulking or wh
Lord of Origins Chp 193 - Laura's Heaven
“I saw what you did to that guy,” she said and Damien forgot his surprise for a moment as he laughed out loud. No way “Are you kidding me? You are telling me that you came over from wherever you are staying, to tell me that you have been keeping your eyes on my business?” Damien asked in amusement. The embarrassed look that crossed her face made Damien lean back on his heel. He folded his arms as he gave her an intent look. “What exactly are you here for, Laura? Because I am sure that nobody gave you the job of being my keeper” Though her eyes were steady on his, Damien couldn’t help but notice how she shuffled her feet before inhaling inaudibly. Damien heard it though. He was weirdly attuned to her in a way that he wasn’t with Isabella. What did the girl want? He wondered yet he restrained himself from prying on her thoughts. “I…you know what? Never mind” she said suddenly and turned to live. Just know that I will…people will see you do that thing you do one day. Then you will be
Lord of Origins Chp 194 - The Invitation
Isabella was having a good time. She was determined to have a good time. She would make friends and go about her life as a regular college student would. Yes, that was the goal. She would not have any distractions. She was determined not to allow any form of distraction that might want to hinder her reason for being at Stanford. She was there for a reason. She was not going to allow any bastard in the form of a strapping pound of flesh to stop her from doing that.“You are a witch?” that taunting, silly question that had an undertone of condemnation kept ringing in her head. She would ignore it. Oh, she would make sure that it had no impact on any of her daily duties. Which were: wake up. Eat. Go to school like a normal student. Not bite off people’s heads because f her pissy mood. And yes, not accidentally set herself on fire as it had almost happened when she angrily tried out her powers when she was alone. She had wondered if her powers had a defect since they didn’t work on that…
Lord of Origins Chp 195 - Clever, isn't it?
Isabella had no idea why she was feeling uneasy. Yes, it was the same roguish look, arrogant smile, and damn strapping body. The voice was the same yet she felt as if something was different. Yet again, he repeated “Princess” as he stepped towards her. Isabella almost stepped back from him before she stood her ground as she knew that retreating would only brand her as a coward. She would not appear as a coward. Not before him. Not before anyone. Not especially when he had that cold look in his eyes though he had a charming smile on his face. Isabella couldn’t lay her finger on it but she knew that it was different. Truth be told, she felt different. There was a certain energy that she had become used to feeling around him but at the moment, it was nowhere to be found. She was sure that there was a difference, it was just that she couldn’t pinpoint what the difference was as he pinned a keen gaze on her as he moved closer to her. “What the hell do you want?” she looked back toward
Lord of Origins Chp 196 - Isabella In Trouble
“Help me, Damien!” rang through Damien’s head as he was busy at his desk in his study. The desperate call was infused with pain and anxiety. Though it was short before the link was cut off, Damien knew the voice clearly though the essence he felt towards the end of the call was different from what he had always felt from her. This time the essence was dark.“What the heck?” Damien thought anxiously as he tried to connect with her again but nothing happened. He couldn’t connect with her. Not even could he feel the unfamiliar darkness that he had felt earlier as well.Damien swiped his key off the table and was out of the door in no time. What could be happening? He had not seen Isabella all night but then he had been holed up in the study since he got back from class too, which had become a bit of a habit and the others had learned t leave him be until he came out and was ready to socialise again. Damien could feel that he was close to getting the critical factors in his quest. He just

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
