Lord Adonis and Audrey got back to the palace of ice and soul without saying a word to each other. Their journey back had been a silence one.Each of them was lost in their own worlds trying to navigate their thoughts. "Was it wise of me to have returned with him despite knowing he wants my heart?" Audrey found herself asking the same question over and over again. "He would have harmed me if he wanted to right? But he didn't. Maybe he is just waiting for the right time, he hurt me once, he could always do it at his convenience." Audrey was caught in between her thoughts. "Does it mean despite being evil, he has some traits of being good?" Her head was about to explode from her thoughts."I thought this bodily pain was the only weakness I had to deal with. Who would have predicted that someday a human would pose as another weakness to me, the king of death? A bigger one at that." Lord Adonis heart was filled with a bittersweet kind of pain.They both walked to the main hall, their foo
Audrey decided against going to Azrail, she made up her mind to go to Lord Adonis since she was certain he had nothing to do with Lucia's and Ceren's disappearance.Besides going to him would avail her the opportunity of checking on how he is faring and inform him about Lucia's and Ceren's disappearance. She would be killing two birds with a stone, not even his temper could stop her.As she moved closer to Lord Adonis chambers, she heard a studding sound. She applied caution and tiptoed meeting the door opened. She peeped through and what she saw was alarming.Lord Adonis had been reduced to a punching bag by a face she had never seen before while Azrail was having fun watching the rare scene."I never would have believed in centuries to come that the Almighty Lord Adonis would be taken down so easily." Azrail laughed out hard revealing his dentition."I told you right, he's been weakened to the core of his being, less valuable than a rat" Acris bragged."We wouldn't have to do much r
"All I see is you trying to play trick games with my mind. Too bad, I won't fall for that." Acris said with a smirk on his face."The one Pearldina had always wanted from the beginning was me, she tried on many occasions to seduce me but I had no interest whatsoever when it comes to her. She couldn't handle my rejection and...." Lord Adonis paused trying to position himself in a comfortable manner to ease his pain."And what?" Acris grabbed Lord Adonis by the collar."She must have seduced you instead""Then I'm grateful, her seduction came right on time so we can say we used each other to get what we both want. I took you down for her and she gave me the throne I've always had my eyes on.""You think you've won?""My victory is staring at you right in the face brother." Acris placed his hands at the back of Lord Adonis head.Lord Adonis scoffed at Acris words. "You wish""Let's do this after all we are brothers. If you bow before me, I would make your death painless and quick.""Don'
"Are you okay?" Audrey touched Lord Adonis face the moment she got to him.Lord Adonis quickly tossed her hand off. "Don't you dare touch me.""I'm on your side, first master.""What are you trying to do?" Lord Adonis was surprised at Audrey's sudden change in attitude."Stay right behind me, I'll protect you" Audrey gave Lord Adonis a warm smile.It was the same smile she had given him earlier, his heart was beating faster again so Lord Adonis looked away."What is going on here?" Acris asked as he watched the two lover birds. "We ain't here to watch you two display affection for one each other.""What do you think you are doing Audrey?" Azrail asked in a very pissed tone."Not letting things go your way, I won't let you hurt first master""Audrey, are you sick or something? How can you think of protecting someone you claimed to have been your tormentor?" Azrail asked puzzled."You ain't any different from him" shaking her head. "No, you're worst.""Let's have a calm conversation oka
Audrey was so out of it, seeing Azrail disappeared without a trace broke her. She hated him, yes but not to the point of death."What have I done?" She was shivering.Lord Adonis dragged his weak and battered body so he could be closer to Audrey who was still very much in shock about what had happened.He knew her heart was breaking and she must be blaming herself. Lord Adonis wrapped his arms around Audrey's trembling body. "It's fine, whatever happened wasn't your fault, you had to protect yourself.""I killed him""His greed did" Lord Adonis corrected.Audrey body couldn't handle all that had happened, she passed out."Audrey?" Lord Adonis noticed her hands dropped and the clanking sound of the ghost knife. He touched her forehead and saw she was burning up, he quickly laid her on the ground while he lay tired beside her gently caressing her with his cold hands. The real battle was just starting with Acris and Pearldina on loose.Looking at her innocent face, Lord Adonis knew he wo
Pearldina arrived at the palace of ice and soul with the strand of Audrey's hair in her hand. If Audrey was in the palace then the odds of Lord Adonis being there was high as well. She will have to be very careful if she is to meet Azrail in one piece."Icom hert veli goed" Casting a spell on Audrey's strand of hair, a crystal clear vision of Audrey appeared with her sleeping on Lord Adonis giant bed and Lord Adonis was looking at her in a loving manner, something he has never done to her before."Traitor!" Pearldina spat on the ground. "I met you way longer than she did but you fell for her huh? Never have you looked at me with such tenderness before." Her voice was bitter. "If I can't have you, then she can't."Just then she saw Lord Adonis held his chest as he spat out blood. "I knew something was definitely wrong with his dwindling icy aura, things just got easier." A malicious smile spread across her face.***Plans to invade the palace of ice and soul is in full gear.Kalta had
"You came back earlier than expected" Acris was surprised at Kalta's early arrival. "Is everything going according to plan?""Yes it is, but guess what? I've got a surprise for you my lord" Klata couldn't contain his excitement."Spill it out already, this is no time to play around" Acris yelled at Kalta's naughtiness."Your temper haven't changed a bit, have it?" Pearldina who had behind hiding behind Kalta's showed up."Pearldina" Acris stood transfixed and stunned."Don't tell me you just going to stand there and stare at me all day?" Pearldina asked before pulling him into a hug.Running his hands through her hair, "Is this really you my love?""I made it back to you my love"Holding her tighter. "I tried so hard looking for you." Acris voice was filled with so much emotions."I can imagine the worries you'd to go through because of me and I'm so sorry."Disengaging from the hug, "No my love, you don't have to be sorry. it's my fault for not being strong enough to protect you.""I
Lord Adonis watched over sleeping Audrey. She look without any worries. "I love you" he finally whispered those words that took him so long to admit into her ears.Audrey stretched her body and Lord Adonis quickly pretended to be asleep. She opened her eyes and smiled at what had just happened. She ran her hands through his handsome face. "I'm right here with you and I'm never leaving." She planted a kiss on his inviting lips.Lord Adonis stomach tightened with bubbles at her words and kiss. Just then, Audrey stomach began to make some funny sounds.Lord Adonis opened his eyes. "You're hungry?"Embarrassed, Audrey pulled the sheet to cover her face. "I'm fine" Her stomach betrayed her by making another round of tumbling sounds."I don't think you are." Lord Adonis tried pulling the sheet off her face but she wouldn't bulge. "Alright then, let me prepare you something to eat""You don't have to do that, I can fix something for me." Audrey pulled the sheet down."Lie down, my treat." L
