Sorry for the late update guys 😴 I was having writer's block and decided to take a few days off or I would rush the story and ruin it for you guys. Thanks for understanding.
On the other side of the barrier, the people watched everything happening and stared at the screen in anticipation. There were bodies littered on the ground, some turned into pieces by the dragon yet the dragon wasn't satisfied as he kept slaughtering the women. Everyone had cast disapproving looks at the princess as she fled into the woods. They were more resentful than anything, what are you saying? They expected her to be the first to attack the dragon, and even more so, to do what she did to those humans, especially after her earlier power display but when she fled, their expectations were dashed. She was actually the first to run! How pathetic is that? Of course, none of them gave a damn even when they noticed that she was limping slightly; all they cared about was getting their bloody appetites sated, and when she didn't deliver on that promise, they immediately started calling her names and making rude remarks about her. They weren't aware that someone was listening to th
King, perturbed by the startling commotion, made his way to the balcony to investigate. He saw his reflection in the mirror as he passed it and stopped dead in his tracks. He looked different... But that's not what had him pausing. It's the electric blue in his eyes and darkness overflowing around him. He raised a hand, twirling it around whilst gaping as a gust of darkness flowed with his movement. Darkness crackled in the air as it surrounded him making him look like the king of Hell at that moment. If it were any other time, he'd find it a bit difficult summoning his ability but now it comes to him even before he calls for it. His fangs were extended looking longer than before, but what shocked him most was his skin! There were markings on it like a tattoo, all around his chest leading to his back! Only, he had no idea what was written as it looked like it was in an ancient language. And though King didn't understand what happened earlier, he had felt the shift in him when he
“What is she talking about, King?” Ivy asked again trying to prop herself up but the healer rushed to push her down. “Your Highness, you can't get up! The gash at your side was also poisoned which is why you're healing slowly. Although I've removed some of it, it will take a month to fully heal since your body is weak after losing the baby. I'll come to look after you during this time your Highness, but next time, avoid taking herbs like that as it could destroy your womb.”While she was saying that, King and Ivy barely heard a word she said. The moment she left, a stiff silence decided in the room.Ivy said nothing. She merely peered at King with accusing eyes, while awaiting his response. She wanted to hear him say he was responsible for her child's death because if he is, she'd...“I'm all ears, King. How did an abortion herb appear in my food? If you didn't want a child, why didn't you say outright but you...” her voice cracked while her eyes reddened, “though, I knew you were c
King first began to feel anxious. Did she really leave? Even though he had already searched every inch of his quarters, he did it again as his heart raced with panic. She did not... She wouldn't abandon him, would she? King closed his eyes, concentrated on her because he didn't want to believe it, and soon darkness began to crackle in the air and spread across the palace as it frantically looked for Ivy. He simply needed to sense her to find her because his darkness identified her as his mate. As it was already late in the evening, the darkness seemed to overflow out of him. He didn't realize the markings on his skin had a faint golden hue. Thirty minutes passed and his eyes opened. She was nowhere on the palace grounds! Although she had mentioned she would leave him if he hurts her, he didn't think she'd actually leave him. With a trembling hand, he summoned Zaar and Noreen. When they both saw flickering madness in his, they tensed. “Your Maj—” “Where is the princess?” he cut t
The Taiga clan? Shit! It's worse than she imagined! She wasn't aware that killing Taiga would have repercussions when she did so in the past. What should she do? She sighed as her thoughts wandered back to King. He wouldn't believe she abandoned him, would he? She may not know much about Taiga's clan, but the fact that they managed to enter Radna undetected demonstrates their skill. “Whoever you are, I don't understand what you're saying. Would you mind letting us out so we can talk?” A peal of laughter sounded after she said that as if he just heard the most funniest thing ever. “Now, now, sweetheart. You are lying, and we both know it. His body was undamaged, but he displayed symptoms of choking on his own blood? Only one person in the world has that kind of ability. Ha! You had us fooled for a minute, letting us think it's your darling mate did it, isn't it?” he drawled in a sing song tone. Ivy was nervous because he spoke as though they were conversing over a cup of tea ra
Radna. The following day, the King walked around the palace's corridors looking for something to occupy his mind off his mate. He had even blocked her out just to prevent himself from storming straight to Asteroy to bring her back. She needs space, he reminded himself. It's the least he could do after everything he had done. Everyone bowed as he passed by and covertly glanced at him to see why he was strolling through the hallways, which was unusual for him as he teleports. As if that hasn't shocked them enough, they saw him going to the Eastern Quarters, one that belonged to Lord Osiris and Lady Rayvinn. The guards were also shocked and didn't know how to react. They wanted to stop him but can't, knowing it was the King. They too wanted to rush outside to report to Osiris, but the King's stare stopped them in their tracks. “Your Majesty!” King gave them a nod before continuing on his way. Shortly after, he overheard girlish laughter coming from the wing's suburbs, which als
They arrived at the hideout where Pea brought Ivy minutes before she was taken by Taiga's clan. There, King could see some of his trained brotherhood gathered around the area causing his brows to crease. “What is happening?” “Your majesty we found this in the woods not long ago and this... Look at these marks on the ground,” Zaar bent to touch the burnt marks on the ground. “I've been here several times before and this wasn't here. It looks like a whip line or something...” King studied the markings on the ground and nodded. It looked like a whip mark that burnt the ground. He then collected the small black round object from Zaar to check it out. When he saw the lid, he tried to open it but got stopped by Zaar. “Majesty, don't!” “What is it?” King paused. “There is only one can who uses that item, I have no idea what it's called but I've seen it before. It produces something such as smoke. The smoke in that thing is capable of putting anyone, including supernatural beings into a
Belize gazed up at him registering why he looked hurt. It's because she was his intended all along! His fiancee! She was going to apologise for forgetting him but no words came out of her. It just didn't feel right...“I've got a present for you by the way,” he muttered, getting up. “The name is Axis, Little Bee.”The frown on Belize's face deepened as she watched him leave. Axis? Why does his name not ring a bell? Logically speaking if she's his betrothed, they should have met several times in the past, and even if she doesn't recall his name, she should feel a bit of familiarity with him, right? The frown on her face smoothened out when she saw him coming as she made her mind go blank, knowing he could read her mind. Though she was clueless about everything at the moment, it doesn't mean she was stupid, she plan to start researching this place the moment her body was strong enough... She needs to find out who she is.A big black snake hung on Axis's shoulders as he walked towards
