Chapter 14: Truth Amid the Myths
Anaya’s P.O.V:
“Mum, have you ever heard the word Incubus before?”
Two hours after Martin had dropped me off home, I’ve had a hot shower to clear my mind, had the biggest dinner of my life- mostly because I wouldn’t be able to enjoy mom’s cooking for a month- and then I’d shad to tell my mom that I’d be off to distant lands for a month, slaving for the Prince while he extended his kingdom…quite literally. Mom hadn’t taken it well, as I’d expected and I’d had to convince her that I’d be okay and I wasn’t going there on my own, although I wasn’t that convinced of my own words. That is why I was up packing a huge suitcase with my mom at two in the morning.
Mom froze midway while folding a dress she was convinced I’d need for the inauguration party. It was kinda old but it was gorgeous and it was a

Chapter 15: Hidden desiresLancelot’s P.O.V:Anaya looked from the plate her mother, Samantha Johnson, had given me and back up to my face and repeated the process a few times before she gave me a purely evil look, as if I’d just murdered her pet hamster.I took a portion of the pancake into the fork and held it out to her. “Want some?” I asked, raising an eyebrow, to which Samantha burst out laughing and Anaya’s jaw hit the floor.“Yes Anaya,” her mother said in between chuckles. “Want some?”She closed her mouth and glared at her mother. “Yes, I’d like to have my own breakfast please.”I shrugged and put that forkful of pancake into my mouth while Samantha placed some more pancakes into another plate and drizzled it with maple syrup. Anaya took the only available seat beside me and placed her handbag on top of the counter.

Chapter 16: DesertedLancelot’s P.O.V:I was jealous, okay? I couldn’t watch you sleep with one woman after another and I couldn’t stand the fact that I was the one who had to call and make arrangements for you two to fuck when all I wanted to do was strangle the life out of you both!Her words rang in my head as I licked her taste off my lips. I’d intentionally sucked some of her energy, just to show her how dangerous I could be, but as a result, I now had her taste in my tongue and her essence in my blood.She tasted of strawberries and mint with a hint of spice...chilies? Simple and sweet with a bite, just like her personality.I clenched my hands on the steering wheel, having already started driving ten minutes ago with Anna a silent presence beside me. It wasn’t just sweet and simple, it was also very addictive. I could feel her energy inside me, her life force. Incubi ar

Chapter 17: A Sudden Turn of EventsAnaya’s P.O.V:We reached Reefwood an hour later than the intended time. Lance and I had stopped talking completely and I felt like hitting myself on the head for bringing this upon myself.Why couldn’t I have just lied and made up some story? I could’ve easily told him I’m a bit of a feminist, which is why I didn’t like the way he was treating other women? Oh noooo, I just had to go ahead and tell him how I really felt!“You worry too much about everything. Stop thinking and focus on the task at hand.” Lancelot’s cool, controlled voice rubbed me in the wrong direction.“Oh, yeah? What’s that?” it came out harsher than I’d expected and I’d also forgotten the fact that he was my boss.But Lancelot didn’t scold me for that. He simply ignored my reaction and spoke like I hadn’t said a th

Chapter 18: DifferencesAnaya’s P.O.V:“Lancelot Eustis sure lives up to his reputation, doesn’t he?” Keith mused as we watched Lance and Trevina walk away.“He’s not that bad…just-““Cranky?” he asked. “Don’t get defensive over them Anna, they don’t deserve it.”“Why do you say that?” I asked as Keith led me to the nearest door that happened to be the ground floor restaurant.“You know who they are and what they feed on, so there’s no need to ask.” Keith deliberately lowered his voice so no one else could hear us. Since the hotel hadn’t been decorated yet, this was the only restaurant open right and all the staff members had their meals here.“I understand that, Keith and I’m not being defensive. I can never understand or accept how they ‘feed’ but it’

Chapter 19: Ancient ArtificesLancelot’s P.O.V:The call came just as I was about to head out to work. A mental ‘knock’ asking for permission to enter my mind. Since we were dimensions apart, it was the only way of communication. So I locked the door, sat down on my bed, and closed my eyes, concentrating on the fine fabric that was the link to the other mind. It didn’t take long to reach the other end.“Lance?”I opened my eyes to the darkness of the void. The darkness was everywhere, spread in every direction, but that didn’t bother me. The darkness wasn’t claustrophobic as was known to be predominant in Shadowland, the incomplete direction that had never had a chance to form because the makers had died halfway through making it. The most important fact was that the inhabitants in this space were illuminated from within so we could see each other.“Miaka.&rdquo

Chapter 20: Reasons for SeparationLancelot’s P.O.V:I watched Keith help Anna lift a heavy box off the floor and place it in the middle of the conference table and curled my hands into fists.Did he think I didn’t notice how his hands stayed on Anna’s long enough to be more than just a friendly gesture, or did he think I didn’t notice the eye contact he had with Melinda just before doing the act? Melinda has a way of brainwashing people that they won’t even know they’re being used until the very last moment, and Keith Simons was well and truly under her spell.Maybe this was the right thing. Keith was human and Anna had already been with him for more than three years. They were a perfect match. But for some reason, whenever I thought of that outcome, I wanted to rip Keith Simons into tiny little threads.“How do you like the progression?” Melinda’s voice snappe

Chapter 21: Things Buried in the pastAnaya’s P.O.V:The confession threw me majorly off balance but before I could ask him more about it, the doorbell to our shared suite rang twice and then twice more after a short interval. Whoever was on the other side, sounded royally pissed off.Lancelot strode through the doors to his room and with a glance behind his shoulder, told me to stay right where I was as he made his way to the door. However, ignoring his orders, I followed behind and stood behind him as Lance unlocked the door to a smirking Trevina and Antony who had the look of a mix of anger and betrayal on his face.“Ace?” Lance asked, sounding just as surprised to see him as Ace did.Ace didn’t talk, he simply looked at Lance with that betrayed look in his eyes, meanwhile Trevina looked at the brothers with unhidden glee, her hands folded right under her breasts so that they nearly spill

Chapter 22: Moving OnLancelot’s P.O.V:We all stood silently in place as Anaya absorbed all the information. I thought she might have gone into shock, but she finally seemed to shake herself out of her stupor and moved towards the door.“Where are you going?” I asked as she turned the doorknob.“To the poolside,” she smiled hesitantly at Ace and me. “I’ll stay there for some time so you guys can talk. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine.”With that, she opened the door and left without saying another word.“Was it really necessary to tell her?” I asked Ace after waiting to make sure Anna was out of earshot. “The less she gets involved in our world, the better it is for her.”“She doesn’t have a choice, Lance, not after she almost got your secret out.” Ace told me. “It was either this or she&rsqu
