15 years ago on the day when Thea's mother died:
Darius Pov
I sense that someone close to me needs help. But I checked with everyone I know, they all seems to be fine.
The feeling of helplessness is overwhelming. I cannot pinpoint the exact cause but the feeling started from the moment I stepped onto the place where fire ate away an entire 2 story house with two people inside it.
That's when I felt like someone is calling for help, and that someone is still alive in that burned down house.
Which is ridiculous and entirely not possible.
But here I am after everyone left from the accident site and I am still here.
Someone is coming from behind me. They stop when they notice that they are not alone.
"Your highness" greets the person.
"William" I acknowledge his presence.
William is Johnathan's father-in-law. Johnathan has a small daughter and an adopted son. His wife is a human.
But her father is nowhere
I start to cry as soon as wake up from my dream. They are not my dreams, they are memories which my grandfather suppressed.They are the painful memories that he never wants me to remember again. But somehow they are getting back.Every single thing which he tried to erase from my mind is coming back to me with a vengeance.But why is that Ornan searching for me? He was in my dreams. Is he real? Is that why I was dreaming about him?What is happening to me?"Angel, what happened? Why are you crying?" Darius asks with concern laced voiced?"He killed my mother" I whisper in between my ugly sobs.Darius becomes stiff beside me and stops breathing for a second."Who," he asks carefully."Ornan" I spat his name like it's a curse.His hold tightens around me and I can sense he is shifting into his angry demon form.He picks up his phone and makes a call."Johnathan, I want your father in law here in the M
Ornan's povIn the room where Amber is lying down on the bed unconscious.A doctor was led into the room my Max."She is here" he points out the unconscious girl on the bed.The doctor nods his head and carries on with his work. He checks the girl's vitals once again and gives her an injection."There is not much change in her condition. Due to the trauma, her body is still recovering. I cannot tell you when will she decides to wake up. It's up to her will power. I am doing everything I can" the doctors words are not so assuring.Max's face falls a little at the news given by the doctor. But no one can do anything in a situation which is out of their control.They leave the room silently closing the door after them.Eyes that were firmly shut, opens up immediately, revealing completely black eyes.The girl smiles in triumph."They think it's still you my dear Amber," a male voice says which comes from the girl's
Azzazal's pov"You haven't slept yet?" Azzazal asked Althea when he noticed that she is sitting on his bed deep in thoughts.He made his way towards the dressing table and picked something up from there. He approached her and fastened something around her neck.She looked down at the pendant in surprise."What is it?" She asked, trying to look at it properly.But it's short length didn't allow her much to see."Go and look in the mirror, you can look at it more clearly" he advised looking at her curiosity.He made his way into the bathroom to freshen up as he just arrived from the human world.His father wanted him to kill a few innocent people to get his hands on their parchment papers, which has some spells written by the dark creatures. They were protecting those, so they would not get into the wrong hands.But my brother found them and wanted them to gain power with the spells.He loathed every second of it. The o
The witch lord was invited inside the pack to look for any clues regarding the Ornan issue.I still held hope that he might help Amber regain her consciousness. She suffered a great deal because of me. If I could help her in any way, then I will.I cannot let her lay on the bed hoping for a miracle cure. I need to do something to help her.I requested the lord as soon as he came here to look at her.He looked at Amber and frowned a little."Is she the girl you are talking about?" he asked with a troubled expression."Yes, Lord Agamanan, she is Amber, the daughter of, one of the pack council members. Her parents were dead when we found them, She went missing. A couple of days ago, she came into the pack. But the pack gates held shut. She was possessed by Ornan, so the foreign magic was detected and she was not allowed inside. They forcefully entered and caused havoc." I explained the situation."They were after you, if what I hea
Darius povDarius sat near the edge of the lake remembering their last night together. If she would have been open about the situation she was in back then, then things would have been different. If he confessed about his feelings, maybe then she would have opened up about what happened to her and what's happening with Ornan.Miscommunication and assuming that it won't work between them is the reason why they had faced so much grief and had to stay away from each other for so long.He beat himself up for not confessing his feelings towards her earlier. But what is done is done. I cannot undo the past. The one thing I can promise never to let happen again is giving a chance to Ornan.I will never let that rat bastard touch what belongs to me. Thea belongs to me and me alone. She doesn't know it yet, but she will soon. Even if she doesn't love me in this life, even then I will not let her go. I am it for her.I have been giving her time to adjust to her n
Ornan povOrnan who is inside Amber glared at his ex-brother and Althea. He will not allow them to be happy. If they think, this is all over and I left this girl's body for good, then they are sorely mistaken.I am bidding my time. That water in the lake made my magic weaker. It's not sufficient to control this girl like I want her to.I need time to recuperate and then I will take Althea away from him. Her beauty belongs to me, her softness is mine to ruin.She is all mine to have. He fisted his palms in anger."You should kill her" a dark shadow appears in one corner of the room.Ornan who is inside Amber turns towards the source of the voice startled.As soon as he saw the shadow, he gasps in surprise."Who are you?" he asked the shadow.Deep down he has an inkling of doubt about who he might be.But he does not want to assume anything. If it is what he thinks it is, then today will be the day.He will
Darius povThe next morning I left Thea in the company of Max and Melanie. I heard how the latter helped Thea when the pack was breached by the dead of the dark world."I need a word with you Johnathan," I tell Thea's father when I pass him in the hallway towards my study."Yes, my King" he follows behind me closely.I go inside and let the door open for him. He comes inside and closes it behind him.I settle down in my chair and look at him closely. Now that I am observing him, yes indeed he resembles the priest I killed almost 100 years ago.He needs to know everything about what's happening here. Knowledge is power. If he knew about the issue at hand he will be much more prepared than being ignorant.Knowing about our enemy is what gives us an advantage over him. Johnathan will also be aware of how dangerous and old this person is.He should know the obsession Ornan holds over Thea. But, what is his purpose for all this?
"What is it baby sister, what are you thinking" Max sits beside me.I was sitting near the lake and thinking about what the witch Lord said about Amber. I haven't noticed Max."Nothing" I try to brush it off like it's nothing. I don't want him to worry. I am sure Darius must be thinking about the same. He too heard what the Lord said about Amber."You won't be thinking this deeply if it's nothing. You didn't even notice my presence until I announced it to you. I am not quiet either. So that means, you are so lost in your thoughts that you forgot to observe your surroundings" he analyses.I laugh despite myself. God, he is the only one who can make me laugh even in a situation like this."You are crazy, you know that?" I tease him."Yaa.. My sister made sure she reminds me of my awesome craziness every day" he wiggles his eyebrows playfully.He lays down on the grass and turns towards me."What happened Thea? What were you thinking?" he
