Overstepping
Chapter 11 - Overstepping
Nesrin
I bit my lower lip nervously. I pushed myself off of my door, holding my head high as I sat down on my bed.
"Do my parents know you're here?" I asked.
"Of course they do. Unlike you, I let the people I plan to visit know of my arrival." His voice clipped. I held back the urge to flinch at how cold his voice was.
"I didn't mean to make you angry, but you weren't there, you with, Imelda. I didn't plan to have it this long," I said, looking down at the ground.
"What did you intend to do then? Because stealing from me is one sure way to make me angry, Nes. You know how dangerous it is to steal from a dragon." Garren bit out. Something abo

Dark Promises Lies
Chapter 12 - Lies Nesrin A soft knock at my door woke me up. I hadn't realized that I had fallen asleep in the tub. The water was now cold after what must have been a couple of hours of me soaking in it. "Who is it?" I yelled as I got out of the tub. I used my air magic to dry myself off before slipping on my night dress. It was light pink and made of the softest silk available in Gardenia. The top and bottom were trimmed with delicate lace. I grabbed my hair and twisted it into a messy top knot before pinning it in place. "It's just me," My mother's voice sounded from the other side. I let out a deep breath preparing myself for what was to come. I wasn't sure what Garren had told her. I had no idea what kind of storm I was a
Dark Promises Bonded
Chapter 13 - BondedApolloI could feel the tension Nesrin was subconsciously sending through the bond. It was eating away at me slowly. Not only was she anxious, but I knew how exhausted she was. I knew she was on the verge of collapsing, and if she kept it up, I worried how much longer she would have.Nesrin had insisted on doing this alone, and I promised I would give her that, but now that I had, I couldn't stop the nagging feeling that kept telling me it was the wrong decision.I looked over at the twins as they slept soundly. Their chests rose at a steady pace. Their tiny hands formed into little fists and were now poking out of the little wraps we had put them in. I still couldn't believe we were blessed with two beautiful girls. I couldn't believe that with everything we had been through, we somehow managed to make it out alive.
Dark Promises Darkness
Chapter 14 - DarknessApolloBalor let out a grunt before moving back to his side of the table. I sat across from him while Nesrin sat beside me. Her hand instantly found mine.The sparks of the bond calming both of our nerves are the faint sparks travelled up my arm."We didn't really understand it then. But our own personal hell started the night we left for the Dark realm five and a half years ago."*Five and a Half Years Ago*"Do we have everything?" Nesrin asked for the fourth time tonight as she looked over her pack one last time. I nodded as I grabbed the last of the herbs we needed to make a tonic to hide our presence once we entered the Dark realm. It wouldn't last forever, but it would at least give us the advantage for a coup
Dark Promises Rot
Chapter 15 - RotNesrinThe air was thick with fog as we were dropped into the dark realm. I cursed as I vowed to pay Weylyn back for these inconvenient landings through the Everlasting portals. Surely there had to be a way to not end up on our backs every time we were transported this way. I groaned as I sat up. Apollo was up before me, reaching out his hand to help me up with an amused smirk on his lips.And eery silence surrounding us along with rotting foliage. The trees were bare and brittle. The sky was grey, and the magic that greeted us was heavy. It stuck to you like sweat and made your hair stand on end. Everything in me was screaming at me to turn back. To run away and find safety, but I couldn't. We couldn't.A crow's caw in the distance made me jump. I felt Apollo's fingers tighten around my mine. I looke
Dark Promises Captive
Chapter 16 - CaptiveApolloI didn't protest when the guard grabbed me. My mind was only concerned with keeping Nesrin safe and away from all these bastards. I forced myself not to look at the bush that she was hiding in.The creature who captured me was destined to be cruel. Not because he was a guard in one of the darkest places we knew to exist but because of what he was.It didn't take a genius to know he was a vampire. Besides the obvious porcelain skin and undeniable allure, he seemed to have. His red eyes and how swift he moved would have been a dead giveaway for anyone.I just hoped I was enough of a distraction to prevent him from smelling Nesrin's blood or hearing her heartbeat. Because the only thing we couldn't protect ourselves against with this concealment potion was Va
Dark Promises Prey
Chapter 17 - PreyNesrinI watched as they tied Apollo up. I watched as he was forced to run behind the beast I now knew to be a Nightrider. I waited long enough for them to move up the path before defending further down onto the forest and trying to track them down the path.I forced the air beneath my feet to move me fast as possible as I moved forward. It was harder to use my magic here. Dark magic ruled this realm, and using my regular magic was more straining as the energy of this place seemed to suffocate it."We should shift," Ahmes suggested again. But doing so was too risky. I couldn't conceal our presence if we shifted. And now the concealment potion was almost conflated out of my system soon. I wouldn't even be able to hide my magic either.
Dark Promises Source
Chapter 18 - SourceNesrinI pushed my magic into my palms, blasting air directly into the Commanders chest. He flew off of me with a cry as he slammed into a tree. The tree broke in half at the impact. I wanted to admire how far I had managed to throw the Vampire but didn't have time as I rushed to my feet.I turned and ran once again, forcing my limbs to move as fast as possible. Suddenly a hand gripped my braid, and I was flung backwards through the air. I screamed in fear as I flailed through the air like a ragdoll. A shadowed figure floated above me, and in the next second, their hand was on my chest, and I was plummeting faster towards the ground. I forced my magic around me, the air forming a shield between me and the ground as I tried to soften the blow.
Dark Promises Caged
Chapter 19 - Caged Apollo The cages smelt like piss and shit. Whatever beasts and beings they had captured during the trek through the South weresnarling and groaning as we passed. Claws, partially shifter arms, and bloodied hands reached for us through the gaps of the bars. Viggo continued to push me through the stench and past the cages that somehow managed to contain those monsters. The smell faded slightly as we moved further down the line. The beings encased in these cages were quieter and curled into themselves. Most had their backs turned to the bars. They had more human-like features, and we're most likely shifters and other beings that were banished here. "Don't stare at any of the others if you wish to wake in the morning," Viggo instructed as we stopped in front of the last cage
