DEVON
"He's a lucky young man. If his attacker had held on to his throat for two minutes longer, he would've died" Dr Sid said to me just outside the ward where Shea was. I shivered when I thought of him dying in the alley."He'll be fine, right?" I asked.
"Yes, he'll be fine"
I nodded.
"He has no family. Can I go in to see him?" I asked.
"Of course. He might be totally out of it. Two of his ribs are broken, he has a concussion and a head trauma"
I stepped into the ward, the heart monitor beeping steadily. I sat down by his bedside and took his free hand in mine. There was a bandage around his head and IV lines were connected to the back of his palm. His eyes were closed, long dark lashes resting atop the skin beneath his eyes. I noticed the moles on his neck and the one on the corner of his lips. How could I have missed that? It couldn't be a coincidence that his moles were in the same poBab terkait

DEVON Quietly, I left Shea's house and snuck up to the back of my house. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and made my way to the front door. Liam was standing by the front door, forehead resting against the wall. I twisted the door knob and pulled the door backwards. The creaking sound snapped him out of whatever daze he was in. He looked up and I let out a gasp when I saw his puffy and blood shot eyes. "Liam-" He moved away from the wall, frowning slightly. "I didn't hear you drive in" "That's because I didn't drive in. Come on in" I said, opening the door wider. He walked in and I shut the door behind him. "Can I get you anything?" I asked. "There's no need for that" he said, letting out a shaky breath. "Liam, what's wrong?" I asked. He sighed, rubbing his left eye. "This morning... I-uh... I received a call from a hospital. My mother-- sh

THEO Tired green eyes stared back at me from the mirror as I ran my fingers through my damp hair. I was human now and it felt really weird. Still, it was a miracle that I was alive. My fingers lazily traced the thick horizontal scar on my chest. It was the only evidence that confirmed that I'd once been stabbed in the chest, and that stab wound had killed me. I walked out of the bathroom, towel drying my wet hair. Devon was sitting on my bed, running a comb through her hair when I walked in. "I was starting to wonder if you were sleeping in there" she said, smiling at me. "You haven't done that before?" I asked. She chuckled. "Once. It was the first time I took my bath in a Jacuzzi. I was so comfortable, I slept off" she said, her cheeks turning pink. I smiled, slipping on a pair of sweatpants. "How're your ribs?" She asked. "A bit sore. It isn't as bad as before" I said. She rose to her feet an
Entwined Fates I'm Sorry
DEVON "There's a prophecy that was made centuries ago about a monstrous creature known as the 'Afyrza'. Which means the silver beast--" Luke said. Blood drained from Theo's attractive face. "The silver beast can be anyone, male or female. It was said that after the transition ritual has been carried out, the beast becomes too strong to be defeated. Only two creatures can stop it and that is the 'Chymarr' and the 'Gymadoq'. The Chimaera and the Red Wolf" I swallowed hard, several thoughts surfacing in my mind. The silver beast sounded like something very dangerous. "At first, the prophecy was ignored. But then, Theo was born. When they found out that he was the Chimaera, they realized that the prophecy might infact be true. The problem is that up till this day, we don't know if the Red Wolf exists" "What power does the Red Wolf have?" I asked. "According to the ancient books, the Red Wolf is part

LIAM I let out a groan as I opened my eyes, my head throbbing dully. My gaze fell on both Shea and the fairy. Realizing that I had indeed not been dreaming, my eyes widened. "You're awake, that's great. Sitting here waiting for you was getting annoying" the fairy said, his eyes glowing. "If he's a fairy, what are you?" I asked Shea, watching him carefully. He sighed, running his fingers throughhis hair. "It's a long story-" he began but was interrupted by the fairy who was looking very smug. It was annoying. "I can help with that. Theo is the king of the underworld. He died after getting stabbed in the chest. Somehow, he's back again to fulfill his destiny. End of story, you're welcome" Shea sighed, glaring at the fairy who still had a smirk on his face. "That still doesn't explain why Devon has anything to do with you" I said. "She's my soulmate, Liam. I can't st

DEVON Virtually nothing can be compared to the feeling of waking up in bed to be greeted by the pleasant sight of Theo's relaxed features. I watched him sleep with the smile on my face growing by the minute. His messy black hair was a sharp contrast to the snow white material of his pillow. He stirred, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly. "Good morning, handsome" I said, shooting him a smile as soon as his eyes fell open. "Morning, beautiful" he replied, a smile tugging at his lips. He pulled me close to himself and planted a kiss on the crown of my head. My eyes fluttered close as I basked in his warmth. "What day is today?" I asked. "Today's Saturday, the 13th...." I gasped, my eyes widening. "Today is Karla's birthday!" "Okay...." Theo said, looking amused. "What's so funny right now?" I demanded, narrowing my eyes. He chuckled, tucking my hair behind my ears. "Toda

DEVON I should probably have paid attention when Theo had said that he was making no promises on not pranking me. Little did I know that he'd gone ahead to fill my shampoo bottle with pink dye just to make us even. It wasn't that bad, we both had pink hair for a whole week. Meanwhile, the search for the silver beast wasn't going fine, twelve mundanes had been declared missing. It was definitely not a good sign. Liam had started to cooperate more and he was back to work with Theo as his PA. I wasn't expecting that anyway, but Theo actually needed the job for the time being. I was just stepping out of the mall when I nearly bumped into a familiar brunette. "Devon! Oh my gosh, it's been quite a while since we saw each other!" Amyra gushed, embracing me. She looked really different too. Her hair was cut to her shoulders, stylishly and she had green contacts on. She'd definitely put on more weight and her skin h

DEVON My phone rang, probably for the millionth time in the evening. I didn't want to pick Karla's calls especially since I knew that I would feel guilty about not attending her birthday party which was supposed to kickoff in a few hours. Theo was still sick and I couldn't leave him all alone by himself to attend Karla's birthday party. So when my phone rang again, I let out a loud groan. Theo coughed, his eyes fluttering half open."You should pick her call, Dev" he croaked."I feel like a horrible friend, you know. I promised her I would go to her birthday party no matter what. But, I can't leave you on your own and I don't want to have to explain anything to her" I said."You should go to the party, I'll be fine. It's not like I'm dying" he said."How can you tell me to leave you here while you're this sick? Even if I go there, I wouldn't have any fun, I'll keep worrying about you" I said.He coughed again, clear

DEVON I walked into the bedroom and placed the tray containing Theo's breakfast on the night stand. He was still asleep, faint dark circles beneath his eyes. I brushed his hair away from his face and pressed a kiss to his temple. He stirred, long dark lashes fluttering subtly. I planted another kiss to the corner of his lips which curved into a smile. "It's time to wake up, sleeping beauty" I whispered. "Not yet" he rasped, pulling me down to lay on top of him. He flipped us both upside down, with him hovering over me. There he goes again with his superhuman strength. His thumb slowly traced my lips and I smiled, gazing at his beautiful golden eyes. "Beautiful as always" he commented and I chuckled. "Not as beautiful as you are, though" I said, cupping the side of his face. He laughed. "I'm not starting an argument with you, this morning" he said, laying back down as he drew me into his arms with my head resting on his
