Lord of Origins Chp 197- Another Fool
Damien knew that Isabella was nowhere around the moment he drove to the school campus. Blocked mind-link or not, he knew that he wouldn’t find her there even if he combed the buildings from the beginning to the end. He blamed himself for not paying extra attention to the friends she had been making. He knew she was going out more and making friends but he had no idea who is who. Most of the smiling blushing girls looked almost the same to him anyway so he tried his best to steer as far away from them as he could. Now he regretted it as he briefly thought of letting Sky know what was going on. Sky had grown fond of Isabella since they knew each other and Damien was certain that he would leave whatever it was that he was doing. Screaming friend or not. Yet he hesitated as something occurred to him again. The sculpted face! That idiot had hit Damien because he thought that Laura was someone else! He had been in their driveway when he thought that! Could that mean that he knew that Isab
Lord of Origins Chp 198 - The Core Fury!
“Dignity is a very vital thing to a witch! A witch might lose their power! They might lose all they have but a witch never loses their dignity! They go down protecting their dignity!” these words of Morgan, during one of her rare moments of non-monosyllabic statements, rang clear and true in Isabella’s mind. She held on to it instantly and used it to steer her way in the labyrinth that she was in. It was not that there was much to steer anyway but she held on tight to that statement and groggily repeated it in what was left of her mind. “The bastard. What had he done to me?” a spurt of anger finally sparked in her being. She had no idea where or what she was. When she finally gain a bit of consciousness, she found herself in a cocoon of sorts. She was not awake nor was she still unconscious. Even with her eyes wide open, she had no sense of reality. Morgan had once told her that there were different realms and she had promised to teach Isabella how to navigate most of them. They h
Lord of Origins Chp 199 - Don't Do It
Isabella was in and out of consciousness for what seemed like days. She was in a cocoon of listlessness in the little time that she was aware of things around her but then she couldn’t hold on to her consciousness enough before she slipped away again. She was frustrated by the scents and hands she felt around her as something quite unpleasant was poured down her throat. She heard voices. Voice of an angry Damien arguing with someone about her…yes, she was sure it was about her. A more boisterous voice that seemed more rational. She could have sworn that he heard Morgan’s voice at a time. Even felt that soothing presence suffused with that distinguishable, scents of Jasmine, thyme and that distinct scent she had not been able to detect; the scent of earth. Morgan doesn’t use perfume and she had only looked blankly at Isabella when she once asked her what brand she uses. She had simply said that Isabella must be perceiving the scent of her essence.Isabella still had no idea how that w
Lord of Origins Chp 200 - Branded
“Fuck you!” Liam Drako, aka Dark Lord, spat out blood towards Damien. His blood-stained mouth spread out in a sickening grin as he gave Damien a disdainful look. “You can be sure that you will pay for this” “No, I am sure that no such thing would happen. You can be assured that you will tremble if you know who I am. In the meantime, tell me why you dared to put your filthy hands on my sister” Damien demanded, his gaze domineering and his eyes bloodred in the dimly lit room. Sky swallowed hard as he looked from Damien to the stubborn man tied to the cane chair with nothing but Damien’s will. The man had been like that since yesterday when damien had brought him over unconscious. Damien had asked Sky to look over him while he went back to tend to businesses that he told Sky nothing about. He had only informed him that Isabella would not be coming home that night when he asked about her. Sky had never seen Damien like that before. Though he knew that the Lord of Origins had power that n
Lord of Origins Chp 201 - Werewolf And A Witch
Damien had no idea what happened between the werewolf and his sister but he knew that there was a tremendous difference. He had no intention of prying into Isabella’s privacy but he hoped that she would tell him if the Mexican was coercing her into doing anything. Though Damien doubted that anybody could force Isabella to do what she did not want to do he also knew a bit about the power of the mating bond. He knew that the Alpha had the advantage over Isabella since he knew more about the making bond than Isabella. Isabella wouldn’t say anything to him about it though. Apart from the terse “I know what I am doing” that she had thrown at him when he asked, she had not said anything else to him.Morgan had only sighed slightly and said something cryptic about fate. Damien should have known that he shouldn’t count on her to be a fountain of information. She had been a quiet person, though a bit sassy when he first knew her. Her cut-short journey didn’t get her out of her shell. If nothi
Lord of Origins Chp 202 - For The Occasion
There was a strain in the relationship between Damien and Michael and he had not taken the time to iron it out. But then he had invited the clan leader as well since this had to do with them all. Though he knew that Michael wouldn’t dare to ignore an order, he had wondered if he would hearken to his call if he made it a request. So, a request he had made it. He had sent him an email telling him the importance of the meeting and why he should be there. As Damien saw Michael stand in the doorway, looking uncomfortably formal and distant, he felt he should have handled the situation better. Yes, Michael might have shown his disappointment in the fact that Damien had done what was against the rules of the clan but Damien doubted that he would have been narrowminded if he knew the real reason why Damien had flipped in the first place. That was not well done of me. He thought. “Well, thank God you do not have to be all-knowing before you can be a leader. We had all be doomed!” said an un
Lord of Origins Chp 203 - Will Strike Again
Isabella paused in her stride as she took in the people in the room. The disinterested-looking, Michael. Her face heated a bit when she caught the gaze of the Alpha who looked as if he couldn’t take his eyes off her even if his life depended on it. The Dark Lord, whose glower was enough to peel skin off anybody’s back and Allan, the richly dressed, middle-aged regaled in a navy blue, exotic tunic. Allan was openly admiring Isabella’s beauty and he smiled broadly at her when she looked at him, which only earned him a glower from Asher, an amused snort from Liam, and a polite nod from Isabella. “What is this all about, Damien?” she asked as she moved towards him. “I know you said we would discuss it when others get here but I have no idea what kind of a meeting would warrant this….this gathering,” she asked as she used her hands to encompass the people seated. “Come have your seat, sister,” Damien said and Allan patted the chair beside him with a harming tone. “You can come and sit wi
Lord of Origins Chp 204 - Collateral Damage
Isabella Kovarick was shocked to the core of her soul about what happened at the meeting. She couldn’t believe that she knew nothing after all. She had once thought that knowledge about her powers and the fact that she was not the biological daughter of King Saldus was the hardest thing he would have to deal with. She was amazed to realise that that was nothing at all compared to what was waiting for her. She felt betrayed and lost. She couldn’t believe that Damien had kept such a huge truth away from her. Even Morgan. Though Morgan had only discovered the true identity of Morgan recently, according to her, it still didn’t excuse the fact that she had known at least for days or months in fact and none of them had deemed it fit to tell her. She couldn’t deny the fact that she had probably proven difficult by demanding that the tiniest of details were explained to her about what was going on. The fact th Damien had done that patiently every time she asked still did not change her disp

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
