" That's because Hunter is the name I gave him." I replied and the shocked look on Gideon had me wondering what it was I did wrong." What? How is that possible? Then that means you are already…?" Gideon seemed to have come to some realisation, a realisation that shocked him and my frown deepened." I am already what?" I questioned, wondering what Gideon was talking about." He's a shadow walker,a shadow warrior Maya!" Gideon exclaimed." So what? He might be different from all of us but he has emotions and feelings just like us." I countered When I First met Hunter, I knew something was different from all of us but that did not stop me from getting close to him and becoming his sister.To me, he was that Young brother I never had.Every Time he saw me sad, he would get angry and want to punish whoever made me cry.For the first time, he made me experience how it feels to be cared for.I remember that one time he pushed Regina to a lake and made sure to keep her submerged for minute
Gideon POV" Do you realize that by naming the boy, you automatically became her master? She's your apprentice and will follow your orders." I informed my mate.Seems like Maya knows nothing about naming a shadow walker.Since they are created and not born naturally, shadow warriors are more like puppets. They pledge their loyalty to whoever names them, in their case, the one who created them.After that, they can only follow their owners or master's orders.Shadow warriors are known to be the most loyal creatures to ever exist. They can never against their owner's orders. Even if their owner tells them to take their lives, they would do it in a blink of an eye.That's just loyal they are. It's pretty cool but everything goes down the drain when their owner turns evil.Made from darkness, you don't want to imagine how evil a shadow warrior can become." What do you even mean by that? I named the poor boy then we swore sisterhood. There is nothing like Master and apprentice between the
Maya POVEverything has been going good since Gideon brought Zara home. He is always by my side, keeping me company and taking care of our daughter.We made love several times and everytime we do, I feel like something is not right.Don't get me wrong, my mate is the best when it comes to bed matters.He makes sure I enjoy every moment of our love making.He is gentle and passionate, like two contrasting flavours in one cone.Yes, that's the best way to describe Gideon.He leaves me satiated and drained yet another look from him gets me all wet and wanting.But even with everything, I can assure you that something is terribly wrong somewhere and Gideon being him, he would never tell me.I Know that keeping everything from me isn't because he does not trust me, I know it's because he cares about me and wants to protect me, even from worries.What he fails to understand is that seeing him that way makes me even more worried." I don't know Sam, but something feels awfully wrong with you
Gideon POVToday is the day Avery will be arriving in the kingdom.I leave our bed slowly and walk to the other side to coerce Zara who is crying.Last night, Maya and I made love until midnight. She was exhausted by the time she was done. After tonight, I don't know if I will get the chance to make love to my mate again.With Avery arriving here, I will have to move out of this room and this house.I plan on making my office my room after today.Holding my daughter in my arms, she cooes softly. She is so cute that it melts my heart." Zara, you are a brave girl ain't you?" I smiled at her and she cooed again, agreeing to my statement." I know you are sweetheart. That's why, I want you to keep mommy company while I can't be with her. Always remember that I love you and your mother so Much. Do you believe it when I say that you two are the most important people in my life? More important than my kingdom. I can do anything to protect the two of you. That's why I have to leave. I'm Sorr
"It feels great to be home and free. Don't you think so, Gideon?" Avery asked and I had to suppress bmy anger not to lash at her.Home! I don't think this is her home." Says the person who did not have a second thought before betraying her people and what she calls a home." I snickered sarcastically.To me, your home is the place you would sacrifice anything to see it peaceful and prosper. That's the true definition of a home." My people?" Avery's voice was filled with scorn. " I helped alot of them, saved their pathetic lives but what did they do for me? The person I trusted the most betrayed me and stabbed me behind my back. When I was imprisoned, nobody said anything. Why should I be the one to think about them? They used me to step up in their life but abandoned me when I needed their support. Why should I be kind to them now?"" I don't have people anymore, just myself." She spat venomously." Regardless of what your sentiments are or what you think, there are a lot of innocent
Maya's POVThe nerve of that woman! How dare she rub the fact that Gideon abandoned my daughter and I for her? Doesn't she have any shame at all?And that Gideon! How dare he bring the woman who hurt me and my daughter so much and decide to marry her? That's without even telling me?He should have already told me about it so that I get prepared and not make a foolOut of myself.Imagine Zara and I going to pay him a suprise visit in the office only to run into that psychopath?Gideon and I had the most passionate night of our lives and from judging by the way he made love to me last night, I was not stupid enough not to realize that something was utterly wrong.Even after observing that, I chose not to ask him anything.I was hoping that he would open up to me and share his troubles with me but he didn't.He chose to keep them to himself then slap me in the face.One thing is certain though, Gideon isn't doing this out of his own violation.There must be something pushing him to do w
Looking at my mate in another man's arms had my throat clog but I still managed to keep a straight face.It hurts but I Know my mate. Maya will never ever betray me, not with someone like Albanus at least.But I won't say that Avery's words did not get into me, they did. Pretty bad." Tell me something Maya,do you like jumping from one man to the other? Anyway, what did I expect from a whore like you." Avery spat and before I could move, Albanus was already before Avery, struggling her neck." Watch what you spout from that filthy mouth of yours Avery. Not every woman is as loose as you." His voice was restrained but his words rolled out with so much venom.He was angry and I knew why. Just like me, Albanus fell for my mate's charms and would not stand to have her insulted." It's okay Albanus,leave her alone. How do you expect a monster to relate human feelings?" My mate's sweet voice resonated and to my chagraine, he let Avery go." Talking of whores? Who is the whore between the tw
Third person POV" Alpha Lucio,are you saying that your niece is still alive?" I glared at the man under my cloak wondering why I did not get rid of him three years ago." Yes, Dark Lord. That brat is still alive and that means that our plans are jeopardised." Alpha Lucio replied." Hazia said that she made sure to kill the child, how come she is still alive or could it be that she lied to all of us." His eyes regarded me with suspicion and I glared at him.I would have to keep up with my disguise for as long as it can last because that is the only way I can protect my sister's daughter.I made a mistake and I am going to correct that mistake.I will never allow the dark lord to take over the land. That would be over my dead body!" What are trying to insinuate Lucio? Are you questioning my loyalty to my Lord?" I stalked him, letting my magic free.Lucio took a step back in fear, making me smile Inwardly.That's all you needed to do, Just scare him a little bit and the fellow will be
