AlexisMr Donovan roared loudly and demanded an explanation for the condition of her daughter. He was utterly pissed and more than him, it was Stefan. He went to the other side of the corridor and calmed a crying Anna.I assumed that it was because of their toxic relationship. They have bad blood but why? I don't know and to be honest, I am not willing to know either. Not that they are demons, which worries me but I don't want to be a part of their conspiracy. Donovan had preferred his daughter than his son, maybe she was her favourite but what did Stefan do that made his father so distinct with him. Still, not my business.Mr Donovan stood in front of me and glared with his black eyes darted at me. His gaze was enough to tell me that he wasn't here to entertain anyone. His daughter was on death bed, probably she wouldn't survive, the chances were low. What should I expect from a hurt and angry father?"Miss Martin!!! Elsa was in your room when this happened, right?" He asked me.My h
AlexisI went back to my room with a heavy heart. There were hundreds of questions and doubts running through my mind and to be honest, it frustrated me to the core. Just to remind myself, I recalled how peaceful my life was before I entered this castle and met demons. First, i am no longer a human, not sure if i was born with powers or i possessed through some way. Second, I don't have any memories of my past, I don't know who my parents and family were, how many family members were there in my family? Do I have any siblings or not? Third, I survived the disastrous fire even after getting severely burned. Maybe because i had powers earlier which suppressed when i lost my memories but if i had such powers, my family must have too. Then how didn't they survive? Maybe they survived but did all of them lose their memories too? Why didn't they look at me?Fourth, the portrait hanging in Stefan's room. It was haunting and cold to my bones. The exact image, the undoubtedly details and sim
AlexisI beat his back when he carries on his shoulders. How dare he? I don't know how and why he dragged me in a secret passage?"Stefan!!! Put me down… I can't see anything…" I yelled at him."Well, that's because it's dark here and your eyes won't be able to see through this passage. My great grandfather built this passage for escape during wars. No one has discovered this place since he closed it but I was lucky enough to find a few of his built passages through the castle." He explained while taking me out through the end of the passage.When we passed through it, he dropped me down and I glared at him. But, I was astonished to find that I was out of the castle and it was a place near the riverside. The end of the passage was securely hidden by bushes and vines overlapping. No one would have thought there would be a passage in front of them."What is this place?" I asked him while observing the area."I don't know exactly but I come here when I am distressed or anxious. This plac
AlexisThe silence of the night was peaceful but I wasn't at peace. Turning the crisp pages of the book the entire night and still left empty handed. Sadly, only a few of the books that I covered were the ones we brought from the library and the journey was still way long. I sighed and leaned on the edge of the bed.Suddenly, an aroma of fresh delicious coffee hit my nostrils and my exhaustion seemed to leave my body."I bought coffee for us…" Stefan entered the room with two cups in his hands. That crooked smile on his face and smug, still he looked very fine."Did you make it?" I asked him with a raised brow while taking the cup from his hand."Yep… I will be more than glad if you leave a positive comment on my little art." He was being dramatic again.I shook my head slowly and chuckled before taking a sip from the cup. As soon as the coffee entered my food pipe and its delicate taste lingered on my tongue, it reminded me of the taste my aunt used to make.I turned to look at Stefa
Alexis"Chained!!! She was chained by him!!!" A voice said with a thrilled tone.There stood a big figure, turned his back against the light and his hands behind his back. He listens to each and every word that man has to say."I am afraid I can't do anything…" the elderly figure responded to the man's please.He was rude and dissatisfied with the man's attitude. "Godfather!!! Are you sure? She was your lovely… how could you…." The man said and received a death glare from the elderly figure.His face was covered with dark shadows but his brilliant blue eyes were piecing every thought of the man and in his mind."There is no place for traitors. She betrayed her kind. It was a huge mistake that I trusted her for something big. I can't allow her to stay in this realm." His voice growled and his decision was a mark of gold.The man trembled behind in shock and he heard the chains getting broken. The war made it worse and brought hell over mortal land. The clouds and smoke, and the light
AlexisThe entire time, Stefan remained silent when we walked the corridors. The servants were shocked to see the demon Prince roaming on this side of the wing. They bowed to him but he ignored them as if they were some pest, good for nothing.I was behind him, running to match his speed of walking. I wondered what was the concern that made Stefan came to my room. My anxiety for a lot and f reasons wasn't enough that now i had to deal with more shit.I wanted to ask many questions but I stayed silent and watched carefully in which direction I had to follow him. He was a fast Walker for maybe his speed was normal considering that he was a demon.He stood in front of Anna's room. He was quiet and lost in thoughts."Is everything okay, Stefan?" I asked him.He sighed and turned to me, "grandma has isolated himself since Elsa is admitted. She isn't having any meals either. I tried to speak with her but she was devastated. Please, help me. Only you can bring her back from the depression."
AlexisThe pitch was high when the burial ground was covered with the entire residents of the castle premises, in one place to bid farewell to the most beloved royal of the palace, Anna Marie Donovan!!!There were no better responses from the family, even Me Donovan stayed quiet during the burial of his mother. Apart from that, Stefan stood silent behind his father. He was devastated.And why not? He lost his mother, then faith in his father and now his grandmother. I don't understand that Anna never seemed sick to me. She was fit and healthy, then how did she die so easily? Now that I know Elsa being an illegitimate child of Gabriel Donovan, it still doesn't make any sense. What I meant was, Elsa isn't the true heir of Donovan Family, however, Anna was more attached to Stefan than Elsa. Still, she had considered her as one of them. Stefan was fine and had no issue with this matter. If anything had happened to Stefan, it made sense that Anna was depressed and devastated to see his on
AlexisMy heart was broken and I felt miserable. Why? Why did I have to fall in love? And that too with a demon. Was he pretending all the time? What if I had made love with him and was stuck with an unwanted pregnancy? Like Elsa's mother?Oh god!!! I can't believe that I almost ruined myself for something unholy. It's my heart that feels emotions and feelings for others. Just because someone had a bad past, it doesn't mean they were bad too. But today, it's proven wrong. Within a fraction of seconds, he threw me out of his life like I was nothing for him.A day before this, he was so happy and wanted to be with me but what happened to him? No… no… it wasn't Stefan… it wasn't Stefan's words.How could I be so stupid? I wasn't able to see his pain through his eyes. It wasn't Stefan… it was Gabriel. I should have known. But why was he doing this? What was his agenda behind everything? Now, I will not back off. I will fight for my love. He can't take my love from me. I need to check for
