Lord of Origins Chp 87 - Hidden Affair
Butler Shawn had already told Damien the night before that he should just go to school this morning and he would have to take him to his new assigned duty that day when he came back since they were unable to get it done the day before.Damien said nothing about the slap that the girl in red gave him in the hospital hall. He doubted if Butler Shaw could have done anything about it anyway. Since he did not want to cause the man any more grief from the lady, he simply kept his mouth shut as the girl glared at him when they joined Butler Shawn outside again. It was as if she was daring him to say anything.Damien did not take the bait and the girl pushed him out of the way as she entered her car. “Be grateful that the nurse said it was just a sprain and thank your poor head that I am in a good mood today if not you will rot in jail for this!” she snapped as she started her car gingerly with her wrapped hand. “Don’t you dare think that this is over!” she said as she winced at the pain.“An
Lord of Origins Chp 88 - Ashton's Turf
“You what?” Sky laughed out loud on their way to the basketball tryouts when Damien told him about what he saw that morning.Damie, who only wanted to know why the two of them would react that way gave Sky an askance look when the latter bent over in his joy.“You…you mean you caught them in the act? Damn, of course, they would act weird. I bet those two are cheating!”“Cheating? Cheating what?” Damien asked in confusion as he still did not understand what Sky was talking about. He knew that as a student, you were not allowed to cheat in class but then why would HG Salem or the cook cheat when they were not students?Sky curbed his laughter when he saw the confused look on Damien’s face. “It is like this, I am sure that those two are married and from logical deductions, they have to be married to different partners, or wait…has anyone ever told you that those two are a couple?”Not that they talked to him directly about things like that anyway but then Damien had never heard them sayi
Lord of Origins Chp 89 - Paint Bath
Damien got into the basketball team; at least he got the opportunity to come for the tryouts, all to the displeasure of the team and many others. “Ashton was not going to like this” was the main litany on their lips. Mr Bruce, a new coach, just resumed work that semester after the last coach was dismissed by the school board due to a complaint from a student whose mother happened to be part of the board. Mr Bruce still didn’t know how the school system works or it could be that he choose not to let their ways affect him as he insisted on doing what he felt was right for the students. All the team’s protests seemed unfounded without any tangible reason and he dismissed them as he allowed Damien to join the team. If he could pass the tryouts of course. Jax Meyer thought the same as well and Sky automatically approved that Damien would be a great addition.
Lord of Origins Chp 90 - Red-rimmed
Damien would have laughed out loud at Sky’s expression when he peaked out from beneath his paint-drenched eyelids before he quickly shut his eyes again. Especially when the latter wanted to rush over to Damien and he was also conscious of splattering his white sneakers with the pool of red paint that looked more like congealed blood on the floor.Yes, it would have been hilarious if he was not drenched in the same paint that threatened to choke him as he felt it dried up beneath his nose, over his closed eyelids, the weight weighing down his ruined uniform. Spitting mad was an understatement of what he was feeling at the moment.Helios' statement sparked his fury more and he could feel the invisible Ring of Origins heated up on his finger and a desire to unleash all it could do on these idiots, his sense heightened and he could hear the bastards that drenched him as they hooted down the hallways as they left the building.Those idiots. “He would get them good” the threat rang true and
Lord of Origins Chp 91 - A Vow
“What happened to you?” Damien’s head jerked towards the direction where the querying voice came from and he sighed inwardly when he saw that it was the tawny-eyed girl.What is she doing here now? Her timely appearance reminded him of the girl called Morgan and he wished she would just leave him be because he was in no mood to be civil to anyone!He was about to pass her by when she snapped at him “I am talking to you!” she yelled in a tone he had never heard her use with him before. The “I am the head girl and you have to listen to me” tone.Well, that was it!“I heard you. I do not want to answer you” he replied as civilly as he could and he gave no damn that her eyes widened a bit.She looked around as if expecting someone then looked back at him “Who did this to you?”What did she want with him? She was one of the reasons for his trouble after all. He thought in anger before he shrugged nonchalantly. He wanted to pass her by again but then she held his hand.Damien was surprised
Lord of Origins Chp 92 - Tour Guide
Sky lend Damien a spare cloth since the school uniform was beyond repair now. Sky advised him to get under the shower for a hosing down, which did not help much. If nothing else, it made the uniform look like something that had been dragged through a graffiti war and back.Michael was not around at The Abode when Damien followed Sky home and he didn't wait long after getting spare clothing to change into. Sky talked about getting him a new uniform and Damien agreed that getting spare ones would help especially now that it would be hard to put on the one that had been dealt many blows already. The clothes were given to Solara and she promised to do her best to get them cleaned up. Throwing all caution to the wind, Damien activated his teleporting mechanism and in no time, he was at the edge of the Macmillan’s property. He made himself visible and he walked briskly to the house. He did not attempt to greet those on the porch at all since he knew they wouldn’t answer him anyway.“Did yo
Lord of Origins Chp 93 - Wish It Did Not
“Just follow me and stop acting like an idiot” Sonia snapped at Damien after Smith had zoomed off in his car.Damien wiped off the blood on his mouth. The slight pain infuriated him as he followed the girl. Do they have to put him amid their issues? He wondered in amazement then he looked up in surprise when the girl shut the door firmly in his face.What now? Was he supposed to follow her or wait for her out here? He wondered as he looked around and then back at the shut door. He decided to open the door before he got scolded but his hand barely grazed the door before it was jerked open again.He hurriedly moved back as the girl glared at him then she threw her limited edition bag hard at his chest before she strutted past him on the way to her car.Da
Lord of Origins Chp 94 - Sweeter Punishment
Damien could check the meaning of a tour guide on his phone when the girl was not paying him much attention. Just as Sky had taught him to check on Google, he typed: What is a toor guard?After many wrong trials, he finally got a person employed to show tourists around places of interest.What? He wondered in apprehension. No wonder Andrea had told Sonia that he did not know anywhere. He wished Sonia had listened because how was he supposed to take her anywhere when he only knew a few places himself? He thought in panic. It did not take long before he realised that Sonia did not need him to take her anywhere after all.She did need him but only as a pack mule. Damien regretted ever twisting the girl’s ha

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
