Seranda’s povI've never been so safe all my life, staring at the daring eyes of Damon as he held on to my waist tight, I could feel my body finally give in to the aches and tiredness. ‘’sleep..we will soon be out’’ he whispers into my ears as I fall prey to his words. Darkness took over every part of me and I only woke when I felt relaxed. ‘’My lady’’ Madam Grace calls out to me as she springs to her feet. She was not the only one. The room had more than just the cook and her mate, from the far end I watched his back as his wolf tattoo took me deeper. His physic is indeed the best I have seen and may certainly see. ‘’Water’’ I managed to say. My throat was dry from sleeping for such a long time. We were back home and not even a crash from yesterday's event was left on my body. ‘’You should know better not to walk into a path strictly forbidden’’ his calm yet daring voice echoes all over the room. It was the cue for everyone else aside from me to leave and not without another word h
Third Person pov.Ever since Damon and his men departed, the capital had not had stability. The rate of crime seems to be increasing by the minute. As Prince Philip and his mother played a great role in whatever schemes they were hatching, Emery was rather busy trying to help the authorities seek out the problems. Prince Edward lay in bed too tired to lift a muscle. Just like Philip, he did not feel good about staying back in the capital while Damon and Kurt could go off and make a good reputation for themselves before the people. ‘’My prince, dinner is served” an omega announced. ‘’I have no appetite” Prince Edward announced, as he walked his way to the bathroom. The coldness of the shower did not take his worry away. Rather it made him think deeper. Everyone was aware Damon was the most favored son and his chances of sitting on the throne were higher than none other. He did not want to lose to him. It was their time to shine. Unlike the others, he is the most hated, the unfavored,
Seranda’s pov. I woke up to sweet humming, the melodious sound sounded so pleasing to the ears, it was urging me to sleep more, but my body had had enough rest for one night. My eyes gradually opened to the waking of the world. ‘’Good morning my lady, "Sarah greeted charmingly. Unlike how I had expected to see her all covered in bruises and badly beaten up, she looked nothing like what I had thought. She was fresh and even had this glow on her face. ‘’You look good today, what's the occasion?'' I asked climbing out of bed. Unlike the previous day, my body felt much more energetic. “ Well, since you asked, I would be the one to spill the tea,” she answered enthusiastically. There was so much joy in her than in a newly wedded couple. ‘’Not only was I released but the lord would be taking me with you. Well, it is not great news but how about I tell you, shopping was taken care of and it was handmade by Princess Emery herself?”. Well, that was some incredible news. Emery was one of the
I am Seranda Mathews the unwanted born of a lineage of slaves and sacrifice. Cursed with the spirit of Zeranda, keeper of the soul of death. A plague waiting to be eradicated. A celebration at my death, festivity at the sight of my blood. I look up and wipe away my tears, I stare from the open bars of my dungeon where sunlight penetrates to lighten up the cramped space I have called home for the last 18 years. Today is that day, the long-awaited day of my death.I don't feel anything. I was neither provided information on why I must die, nothing could break me. No, they can't…can they? Neglected separated front all. Groomed as a sacrificial lamb what was there to hope for? I am not the first nor will I be the last, it will soon be time. The bird's songs wake me up. Other than every other day, today felt different. In the dungeon, she's lying on the floor, barely alive. I have lived off scraps of food for the longest time, not like I saw meaning to why I was fed. I was going to be ki
“Who dares interrupt the sacrifice of the great god of the dead?”The high priest and other spiritual leaders of the clan stood up looking for the culprit while the crowd held their breaths. This was not a good sign, such has never happened in the land and it is considered a bad omen. Black rode before the crowd, with Damon sitting on his back all high and mighty. “‘I do”“Your Highness, with due respect, it is not the border and as such you have no grounds here” Mark Logan chief of spiritual cleansing and incantations, stood up before him. Damon knew better, he was not ready to get into politics or tackle power with his half-brothers. Climbing off the black, he walked up to the fragile figure lying on the ground barely clothed, his heart ached just staring at her state, she was covered in bruises of every shape and kind. This made him wonder what type of life she has had to endure in the last 18 years. He was not new to the happenings of the ritual, however, he wasn't going to stand
“Even so Philip, you shouldn't have fought with Big Brother out in the open, it just goes a long way to confirm you can not handle your temper”“Big brother? Kurt you are the youngest and you dare address me by my name and my junior big brother?” It was not a secret Damon was his favorite brother despite the fact they shared different mothers, he had not been to the capital for a long time However, Kurt loved him the most. “Philip, chill he is only a boy and knows nothing about the politics of the land”“Edward I may know nothing about the politics of the land but am aware of the dignity of the royal household. And that should be your priority, it is no doubt your harlot of a mother would rather spend her time screwing a guard than teaching you how not to wash your dirty undies in public”“you ……”’“That's enough, You are brothers and as such you have to live and help each other. Damon, the slave….”’“‘Father, she is my mate, she is going nowhere.” Damon could feel the piercing gaze
They all looked at me with smiles. I could feel my body give away a satisfactory relief. He stood out, I have not had the privileged to see somany men in my short-lived lifetime, however, the man before me looked like a demi-God. his muscular physique and tempting eyes, he wore a white fur coat. A dagger resided on the left corner of his belt, but that did not scare me, I could feel the pressing urge of wanting to feel the knife. I must have been so focused on the knife that I gave away some strange emotions. His eyes were cold and warm I could see myself within them, it was a sense of warmth and ownership. I could feel my body heat up just staring at him. “Come on, stop staring at her like that brother, you will scare her” A young lady tossed his arms, playfully pushing him away from me. I didn't want him to leave, I felt a sense of connection with him, I tried opening my mouth but nothing came out. It felt more like my words were stuck behind my throat. I reached out my hands and h
My soul jumps out of my body. Damon sat in the dark end of the room watching the troops walk through from the giant windows, with a dagger in hand. He wore shorts made of fur and nothing and could see the lines and scars from war scattered all over his back and lower waist, his wounds were not all healed and traces of blood could be seen from the tips of a few cuts. “Is this the life I will live?” Damon turns towards me facing me with his clean chest. He had a scar just above his heart, I know he is the warlord not surprised by his wounds and all however he is royalty, he should be living in affluence and grace and let the people do the hard job. She knew some wealthy men stayed at the top and let the less privileged do the dirty work from the books she had the opportunity to read. “I will go in” I wasted no time in evaporating and condensing inside the bathroom. It had everything which makes me wonder when he had time to prepare. I had a long shower, I think I lasted in there for a
