Love for Max
Melanie for whatever crazy reason, decided to stay with me after we came up.
I started having my dinner after we came up.
"You had your dinner?" I ask Melanie who is standing beside the couch I am sitting on.
"I will eat later" she replies.
"Come, sit" I motion for the empty seat beside me.
"It's ok. I am fine" she replies politely.
This girl is so calm, collected, and polite. Where is the arrogant girl gone who dragged me on the street implying that I was a thief?
"It's ok. There is so much food here for me to eat alone, Come" I insist softly.
She hesitates for a second before joining me.
We start eating in comfortable silence. Only the sounds of cutlery can be heard.
After a few minutes, a guard knocks on my door.
We look at each other and she nods her head for me to stay.
She went and answered the door.
"His highness told me to look at the message miss Althea received and check out th

Althea Is it really Amber
"I loved Max since the moment I saw him" she finally relented with my endless teasing."He came here after you and your mother were snatched away from them. He was always silent and would always concentrate on his own thing. He used to train from a very young age. He is two years older than me. I used to come to the royal pack often. My father is an Alpha of a pack nearby. I never used to like if my father brings me here. I never used to like their pack parties" she sighs deeply.She moves away from the couch and stood facing the lake."One day during these parties, I sneaked out. All the children were either too young or too old for me to play with them. I was 7 and he was 9years old. I came near this lake to play in the water. That's when I saw him. His back facing me. He stood there like a statue, so still and so beautiful. I was instantly drawn to him. I stood there and observed him for so long. But I couldn't muster the courage to approach him" she stops as

Darius povThis feels so surreal, I never thought I will come to the underworld ever again. But here I am, in the underworld. Once upon a time, this is my home. Everything began here. Now this place is nothing but a bad memory.This is the place that has so many memories of Althea and me together. Everything is the same.Nothing changed much. My room where Ornan killed her, has a black burned mark on the wall.I guess my father never bothered to clean it up. Out of all the rooms, this one feels untouched.They let it be the way I left it."Looking into your old memories" Lucifer is leaning against the door casually.But we both know what this room has seen. There's nothing casual about it. He is just trying to gauge my mood."Don't worry, not planning to destroy this place today" I say looking down into the hellfire or otherwise, called the pit."So you planned to do it in the future" he teases me
Althea Past in the present
"Think a little deeper your highness. Past, not your immediate past. Your last life" she hints looking at my inner turmoil."Why can't you tell me the name, my lady?" I ask her in confusion."There is much more going on behind you both, you only know about Althea and yourself," she is talking in riddles."I am not understanding my lady. My past life is not my life now. The Lord of the underworld then is now no more. I haven't seen ornan in the past 20 years. I killed so many innocents, I don't even remember them anymore. My past life is something that I am not very proud of. How will I know who is after my Angel?" I ask her with helplessness."This is simply not about you both King Darius. Do you know who am I?" She asks dodging my question."Of course, you are her mother" I answer immediately."It's not that simple king Darius" she says calmly."Please my lady, I never requested anyone in my life. Please tell me who is after my Angel
Althea You, I want you
"Do you believe this is coincidental, that she came exactly at the same time that our pack gates were breached" Melanie asks me softly when I don't respond to her previous statement?I observe that Amber is not coming close to us. She is nowhere near the water. She is restless and shuffling here and there mindful of the water."Explain about this Mel" she is surprised that I used a nickname to call her. She recovers fast and nods her head. She earned my trust by this act of loyalty towards the pack."This lake is enchanted with magic. His highness himself constructed this structure in the middle of the lake for these kinds of threats. The entrance gates of the pack are enchanted too. If it detects someone entering forcefully inside the pack, it will alert the guards and there are structures like these around the pack. The people who the magic consider as a threat, will not let them enter into those structures" Mel explains patiently."Ambi, come to me" I requ
Althea Dragon
A big shadow appeared above us obstructing the moonlight and making the already dark surroundings darker.I Shiver with fear, at the sudden appearance of this mysterious figure. Even the dead army stopped in their tracks.We look up only to close our eyes and shield our heads to protect ourselves from the approaching thing.By the flapping sound it is making, it might be some kind of a bird and a big one if we go by the shadow."Let's get into the room" I whisper to Melanie.She seems to come out of the trance-like state and we start to pull Amber with us.The water makes a sound as we start to pull Amber.This seems to alert the dead army, they start chasing us. But before anyone can even touch us, fire emits from the sky and it starts burning the dead army.They open their mouths, they would have screamed if they were alive, but now only gurgling sound comes from their throats.Within a minute, the dead army is turned int
Althea Death
We all returned to the Mansion. The witch lord was kind enough to send one of their best witches to look at at the effective guards who were bitten by the dead army.Those dead bodies were poisoned with a potion to control their bodies. That voice might be the one who is controlling these bodies.What doesn't make any sense is, who is he and why is he after me. I never have seen this guy in my life. Then why is he after me?Is Amber hurt because he wants to get to me? How did he kidnap her? Where were her parents when that was happening? Are they dead, because they tried to save her?Like we thought earlier, Amber was possessed, her body couldn't take the intrusion. She slipped into a coma. The pack doctor is not hopeful about her condition.Somehow I feel responsible for the condition she is in. If she wasn't my friend, then she wouldn't have been in this condition.I feel sad, that I might lose my friend. All the guards were given th
Althea Old score
"Why do you want my daughter" my mother asks a question of her own."I don't have to answer to you. But since these are your last moments, I will humor you. I want your daughter to control my brother. I want power, I need control. My ex-brother has both in abundance. If I can't get the power of my own, then It's powerful enough then I can have some semblance of power by controlling my brother" he laughs like a maniac.Little Thea got scared of this boogie man."You will never be able to do that. Your brother knows how to protect what belongs to him" my mother promises with a cold voice."Ha ha.. Protect what belongs to him? Do you know how I killed your dear daughter in her previous life? That too right in front of my dearest brother" he laughs at his joke.My mother smiles at him like he is stupid."He is loyal to his blood and responsibilities. If you think his love and loyalty are his weakness, then wait and watch his love becoming his strength
