Black Heart stood on the rooftop, his eyes fixed on the city below. He knew that Kenju was still out there, plotting his next move. He needed someone with the skills and power to track him down.He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Erik, my son. I need your help."The voice on the other end was deep and menacing. "Father, what's the mission?""Kenju, the man who escaped us earlier. I need you to track him down and bring him to me."Erik's laughter was cold and mirthless. "I'm on it, Father. But I'll need something in return."Black Heart smiled, knowing his son's thirst for power. "The more you kill, the stronger you'll become. And I'll make sure you're rewarded."Erik's voice was eager. "I'll leave now. And Father?""Yes?""Tell me about this Kenju. What makes him so special?"Black Heart's eyes narrowed. "He's a powerful foe, Erik. But with your skills and my powers, I know we can take him down."The line went dead, and Black Heart knew that Erik was on his way. He gazed ou
Black Heart stood at the roof edge of the Yakuza building. He couldn't help but think back to the time he was really happy with his fiancee. Everything was actually so perfect. Simran Dotch was just the one for him.. what exactly did he do wrong to earn him just betrayal?Sigh!"I loved you, more than I loved anyone else, more than I loved even my own life. Why did you have to sleep with anyone that came your way.. it never bothered you that what you were doing will hurt me!? Now you expect me to swallow the bitter pill of betrayal like nothing happened? Well f*ck that.."With a wave of his hand, he summoned his shadow warriors and a few music instruments. Erik and a few trusted aides stood a few feet watching him. The ghouls took up the instruments and began to play.. meanwhile the classic Eamon's voice flowed out from the brokenhearted vengeance god who couldn't keep back the tears."Whoa oh ohOoh oohNo no noSee, I don't know why I liked you so much I gave you all, of my trustI t
The snow capped mountain that spanned the vista behind the palace emulated her mood.Moonlight streamed through the window of Simran's room in the north wing. She stared at the main entrance of the Kralj palace as guests climbed up the stairs to attend the ball. 'Twas the night before her wedding to Raul, the crown prince, her cousin. The celebration had dragged on all week. From where she was, she could see all women laughing joyously, as they delicately picked up their expensive gowns and climbed the stairs. They curled their hand warmly against their men's arms affectionately as they cocooned them with their wings on one side.Simran hated every moment of it. Since morning she had vomited five times with sheer disgust. She would turn nineteen the next day—the legal age to marry in the Kingdom of Wingx—a day Raul has been waiting for ten years.“You look breathtaking my Princess” said Nyles, breaking her reverie as she fixed the veil that fell to Simran's chin, with a golden comb at
Raul studied her body before settling on her face, which was concealed behind the veil.Still, he couldn't miss her fear-filled blue eyes. Out of courtesy, she pulled her hand from her gown and extended it to him. He took it and bowed slightly to place a cold kiss on the back of her hand.“My Princess.” he murmured as he pulled her to the center of the hall. The guests passed one by one as they passed.Nyles remained near the door with eyes shinning for her mistress until the door closed, while Starlight made his way to the wine counter, his eyes trained on the girl as if studying her.Raul stopped at the center of the hall. He bowed and the musicians in the upper balcony of the hall started playing soft music that wafted through the room. He ran his fingers down her spine and placed his hand on the small of her back and pulled her closer to him. She shuddered at the touch; the feeling was akin to a spider crawling down her skin.It was a ball to celebrate her doom and his rise to the
“Are you mad?” Simran said and punched him on his back.“Shut up!, If you want to get out of here.” he said.He scaled the wall like it was nothing. Securing her in his arms, he jumped down to the ground effortlessly on his feet.Shocked as hell, she looked at him. But he was now running with her to the boundary of the kingdom. For the first time, she heard the screams and shouts of the soldiers. The palace has been alerted of her abduction. It was now a matter of time till they found her. They were Fae soldiers.“I think you better leave me here, Starlight.” said Simran.“They are going to be here any minute.”The man gave her a feral grin. With one hand holding Simran by the waist, Starlight leapt almost ten feet high and tossed her into the air. She suppressed a shriek for fear they would be caught. As the world turned around and moved in slow motion she found she was falling, limbs flailing towards the ground. But before she touched the ground, she found herself over the soft fur
Even though she wanted to know what-next, Simran stared at the man in front of her. Her mind numb, her face blank. Her gaze traveled to his bleeding thigh. The man had managed to disguise as Starlight for two months? How was that possible for a werewolf? She studied him closely to understand him.Manton looked at Simran, turned her, curled his hand around her neck and pushed her to a carriage that was waiting for her. He waved his hand in the air and ordered his men.“We move immediately.”They were five men on their horses and a woman who already had Nyles hauled across her horse.Manton opened the carriage door and pushed Simran to sit down on the bench. He got in and sat opposite. He pounded on the carriage and they started to move at a rapid pace.Simran was surprised at the turn of event. She was silent as the carriage sped across the dirt road. When she peeked out of the window, she saw the mist rolling around them as if covering them like a permanent drape. She felt chilly and
Nyles came huffing as she stepped into the carriage.“Milady!” she said as she hugged Simran tightly. A smile broke on Simran's face. Nyles started fussing around her.“How are you?” she asked, examining her hands and her body in general.“These bastards didn't let me meet you for three days straight. I had to ride with that stupid woman Darla!” she grumbled.“For three days we have been riding constantly, stopping only for not more than a few hours to give the horses rest. My buttocks and thighs are numb. They ache and they are sore.” she said rubbing her buttocks.“I have never been subjected not this kind of hardship, Milady.” Nyles started crying.“We must go back to Wingx as soon as possible. I didn't know that Starlight was such a trickster, for a year, how could he stay like Starlight?” she said with a frown pulling herself together.“Wait! I'm I making sense?”Simran started laughing.“I am fine Nyles, and it's good to see you.” then she looked at the fur she was wrapped with
Nyles scowled and in a disbelieving voice said“Milady, you must jesting!” she looked at Simran's calm expressions. She smacked her head.“This plan of yours is impossible! Who knows if Iona is even alive? There is one in a million chance that she is alive. It's absolutely ridiculous to even think about her.”Simran put her plate on the bench of the carriage and took Nyles' hand in hers.“Don't be scared Nyles. Even if there's one in a million chance to find Iona, I will take it. Raul will send his forces to find me, but he can never kill me. And do you know why?” there was a small frown on her forehead.“Because according to the laws of Wingx, he has to marry me to be the king. There is no way he can harm me, and there is no way I will let him harm you. so relax.”Nyles removed her hand from Simran's and burst out“Relax! Do you know the kind of power that man wields? He is a Fae prince for God's sake. He is a Fae Prince for Gods sake! My family and I are going to be called as Fallen
