Knowledge is power
Darius pov
The next morning I left Thea in the company of Max and Melanie. I heard how the latter helped Thea when the pack was breached by the dead of the dark world.
"I need a word with you Johnathan," I tell Thea's father when I pass him in the hallway towards my study.
"Yes, my King" he follows behind me closely.
I go inside and let the door open for him. He comes inside and closes it behind him.
I settle down in my chair and look at him closely. Now that I am observing him, yes indeed he resembles the priest I killed almost 100 years ago.
He needs to know everything about what's happening here. Knowledge is power. If he knew about the issue at hand he will be much more prepared than being ignorant.
Knowing about our enemy is what gives us an advantage over him. Johnathan will also be aware of how dangerous and old this person is.
He should know the obsession Ornan holds over Thea. But, what is his purpose for all this?

"What is it baby sister, what are you thinking" Max sits beside me.I was sitting near the lake and thinking about what the witch Lord said about Amber. I haven't noticed Max."Nothing" I try to brush it off like it's nothing. I don't want him to worry. I am sure Darius must be thinking about the same. He too heard what the Lord said about Amber."You won't be thinking this deeply if it's nothing. You didn't even notice my presence until I announced it to you. I am not quiet either. So that means, you are so lost in your thoughts that you forgot to observe your surroundings" he analyses.I laugh despite myself. God, he is the only one who can make me laugh even in a situation like this."You are crazy, you know that?" I tease him."Yaa.. My sister made sure she reminds me of my awesome craziness every day" he wiggles his eyebrows playfully.He lays down on the grass and turns towards me."What happened Thea? What were you thinking?" he
Althea Crazed out of their minds
Almost all the shifters in the royal pack were acting as if they don't have any control over their animal form.Only a few of them remain sane, and even they were confused as to why their fellow pack members acting this way.The moment Darius reaches my side, I told him what I observed earlier. All the crazed shifters become normal as soon as they touch the water of the lake.That's when Darius got suspicious about all this."It's not the water, it's the magic spell I cast over it that's helping them to regain control over their animal again" he explained what he understood from my observation.We found Melanie a little distance away from the lake fighting with one wolf and one bear shifter in their animal forms.She is injured, and if it's not for Max who reached them on time, she would be in a much more critical stage now.He sprinkled the water on the shifters which his shirt absorbed when he came into the water with me.As so
Althea Back from the dark
"Amber" I answer truthfully.He looks as stunned as I felt."What?" he exclaimed in surprise."What do you mean Thea? Amber is in a coma. How can she compel all those shifters? She is neither that powerful nor that vindictive. She is your friend, she would never hurt you" he supports Amber.I guess I deserve this for not telling him the complete truth."I don't mean it like that Max. You know that the witch lord visited us yesterday, right?" I asked him."Yes, he came, but what does it have to do with Amber?" he asks in confusion."I took him with him to Amber's room. He looked at her and said that he still has his control over her" I revealed the thing that's bothering me since yesterday."You mean?" he is asking me what I am thinking is true or not."Yes, I think he is still here, in the mansion" there I said those words.I think Ornan is still in the mansion. He never left. The magic in the water must hav
Althea Still here
We cry like kids. I am happy y that she is free from his clutches."I am so sorry. He came after you because of me" I feel guilty that she had to suffer so much because of me."No Thea, it's not your mistake" she is trying to make me feel better."It's true Amber, if you are not my friend, then he wouldn't have known that you exist at all. He targeted you because of me. After you guys left me in the city, so much has happened. Vampires took me and Li" I explained."Oh my God Thea, you alright" she searched my neck and arms for visible puncture wounds.I smile at her, looks like, my Amber is back."Relax Amber, that's the least scary thing I faced since then" I sigh heavily."After Darius brought us back, I met Catherine" she looked at me and groaned."You were in a roller coaster ride without me?" She asked and we laughed."Ya, then I made my way into the dark world" all the color drained off her face.I can understand her
Althea Not anymore
Me and Darius were sitting and talking near the lake last night.We felt like someone was watching us. Being a human, I can only see so far in the dark. But Darius is a shifter, his vision is much clearer even in the Darkness.He saw Amber looking at us standing in her room near her window. First, he was shocked and then told me what he saw."Amber is looking at us," he said once he turned his gaze towards the lake.I tried to turn around and see if she is looking or not."Not now, don't turn. You won't be able to see it. It's too dark outside" he suggested."But, how can it be possible. She is in a coma" I asked him baffled."Do you remember what the Witch lord said about her just a few hours ago?" he asked me."What did he...oh. He said 'she is still in his possession. It's dangerous to keep her here'" I remembered his words."She is indeed in his possession. He is still using her" he concluded."What do we do now?" I ask

"Our heart chooses whom it wants, no one has a say in it" I answered his question.I know Darius doesn't want me to talk to him. But despite everything he did till now, today is the first time he is truly showing his insecurity."True, then how did I become bad and he became good. Both of us are Demons, both of us killed countless people. Then why him, why not me? Am I not handsome enough? Or were you attracted to becoming the Queen of the underworld?" he mocking with the last part."You don't have to talk to him, Angel. He doesn't deserve it" Darius declares."He is asking for a closure Darius. He needed to hear this, let me" I looked at him with determination."Good or bad depends on the path we choose. If I would of chosen you instead of him, he would have let me be happy with my life. Unlike you, who decided to kill me, because you couldn't have me. You don't want anyone to have what you couldn't have. But he is not like that. He wanted me to be hap
