‘One day he will answer to his destiny, and that is to be my son!’ the fearful voice said and Asher jerked awake with a gasp. He panted softly, sitting on the bed and glancing around. The room was filled with the sunlight and from his understanding, it should be in the early afternoon. He frowned, he has never had his nightmare in daytime before, what could have happened. He climbed out of the bed, surprised to find himself totally naked and he was hit with a strong headache. He rubbed his temple, wincing in pain as he made his way to the bathroom.His memory was a blur as he still couldn’t remember how he had ended up in his bed naked. Wait, did he have a woman last night? He wondered but his room doesn’t smell of any she-wolf or lady vampire. He is not so good with demon females and yes he has bed a few, but he has never had anyone in his father’s palace. And even though, there was no demon scent in his room, so, it means he still holds on to his rule.He was in the shower when he h

During the last class of the day. Naomi sat behind Trisha and kept staring at her back, the thought that this was the last time she would be seeing was eating her up. She was torn between telling her and just letting nature takes its course. She closed her eyes and heaved a sigh, her heart beating loud in her chest as she zoned out every noise around her, including the teacher’s voice. She glanced outside, at the evening sky and licked her lips. Forcing herself to come back to present, she glanced at the teacher but the board was a blur and so she glanced around the classroom only for her heart to miss a beat when she saw the midnight blue eyes staring at her. She doesn’t know why but at the very moment, she felt calm, the worry that has been plaguing her all afternoon vanished and it was like everything would be okay.She held Asher’s gaze, wondering why his gaze brought her peace within herself and also wondering why it feel like she had seen him somewhere, somewhere that wasn’t in

“Naomi,” Asher called and sighed in relief when she finally looked at him, “are you okay?”“Asher,” she whispered, “who…” she wanted to ask but her question was interrupted when Asher quickly pulled her into arms and she crashed on his chest. She looked up at him in shook but he was looking somewhere and then she heard it from deep within his throat, a growl. She was shocked as she kept staring at his chin —he was that taller than her— and she saw his Adam apple bobble as he growled again, it was like his chest was vibrating and then that fear striking sound was coming out. If she wasn’t held close to him, she would have never believed that he was the one making the sound but the vibration from his chest was all the proof that she needs.She tried to move away but he held her tightly with such a strong grip that she feared he might break her if he exerts more force. She was still wondering what was going on when she saw it, just like in her vision, the shadow figure. It stood on the l

“Did you find anything?” Aliyah asked the two men sitting in her living room. They stood up upon her entering and took turns too hug and kiss her cheek. “Where is Edward?”Sean sighed and shook his head softly, “he excused himself on our way back and urged us to go home. We haven’t seen him since then.”Steven nodded in concur. “What about Asher, is he awake now?”At that, Aliyah smiled, “he woke up early this afternoon but I don’t seem to know where he could be at the moment. I was told he left shortly after Anita arrived. Tell, any lead?”This time, Sean ran his hand through his brown hair and sat down. At forty-four years old, he still looked striking like he was in his late twenties. “Nothing different from the other nights we have checked. The foot prints didn’t really lead anywhere, at some point, it just stopped, like something had intentionally cleaned it. I just don’t understand.”A servant walked in then with a tray of drinks and served them. Steven sipped from his and smoot

Larry paused and glanced at the corner of the room, he waited but the sound didn’t come again but he wasn’t a man to let things go easily and so he forgot about Naomi and went to check but nothing was there. However, he felt goosebumps rose on his skin, a clear evidence that something supernatural was on play. He walked back to his daughter that was now sitting on the bed and sobbing, and watching him. A trail of blood ran from the corner of her lips and seeing that, he felt sorry about his attitude immediately. He raised his hand to touch her but she avoided immediately, thinking he was going to hurt and that only made Larry hate himself the more.“Naomi…” he called.“I’m sorry,” she cried. “I slept off forgetting I haven’t made dinner, please don’t hit me again, please.”“I won’t.”“No,” she cried, “I’m begging you.”“I said I won’t,” he said irritated now and she looked at him. Her eyes showed her fear and Larry sighed. He reached for her again and she cowered and that seemed to ha
