EVA'S POV
“Liam! Liam!” I called out several times but he was nowhere to be seen.
“Where did he go so late at night?” I asked in a concerned voice.
“Where can he go. He must have dozed off in another room. That must be the reason he is not responding.”
“I will go and check,” I said. Before I could take a single step Alex gripped my shoulders slightly and made me sit on the couch.”<
ALEX'S POV“When love traps darkness in the ring of love the kingdom of vampires would crumble. This was the prophecy, wasn’t it.”It was etched into my memory but there was no harm in confirming it. Even a small error could prove disastrous. “Hmm…” Eva muttered dreamily. She appeared lost in the past.I tapped my fingers as I waited for the programming to get completed. The screen turned from red
LIAM'S POVI dragged myself up the stairs. My legs felt like they would give away any moment but I didn’t dare to stop. I had to kill Eva and Alex before that hooded creature got angry and summoned me again. How would I kill them? Eva didn’t even keep a gun so it wasn’t possible to steal one. I could stab them with a kitchen knife or suffocate them or maybe bang their head against the wall. I would need to separate them. It wouldn’t be practical to fight both of them at the same time.
EVA'S POVWalking hand in hand with Alex under the star-studded sky would have been the most romantic thing to do. If only we were not desperately searching for the golden shifters.It was close to midnight and the road was deserted. My plan of taking a taxi till the El Nina check post had turned into dust. With the recent turn of events, no one wanted to go in the direction of El Rosa. We were left with no option but to walk back. “Alex…” I said grasping his right arm.
EVA'S POVI looked around frantically. My heart thudded against my ribs as hundreds of apprehensions flooded my mind. Just then I caught a glimpse of a foot peeking out from behind an oak tree. My brows furrowed in confusion. It looked like Alex’s foot. What was he doing behind the tree? Then, it struck me. He was trying to get back at me for not listening to him the previous night. I was not someone to be defeated so easily.
ALEX'S POVThe moment I entered the Eucalyptus forest I started feeling very different; not exactly bad but a bit weird. It was as if someone or something was calling out to me; like there was someone on the other side of the forest who was waiting for me. I shook my head to get rid of these weird thoughts but they persisted. For one second, I wondered if it had anything to do with the tattoo that had suddenly emerged on my arm but then I shrugged it off. “Alex…Wait for me.” Whe
EVA'S POVI didn’t like the eagerness with which Alex followed the men. They were all drop-dead gorgeous, but still, they were strangers. But what could I do? Since Alex agreed, I had to tag along.I had a feeling that Alex was changing gradually, not necessarily in the wrong way, but he was behaving differently. I sucked in my breath when I saw the palace. Made in beautiful Redstone, it stretched in both directions far beyond what I could see.
EVA'S POVI watched in wonder as he turned into a beam of golden light in one moment and was standing close to us in the next. Loud gasps filled the room, and everyone bowed their heads. I could see the king’s features clearly now that he was standing close to me. I couldn’t help but note an uncanny resemblance between him and Alex. Was he related to Alex in some way, or was this a mere coincidence?Displeasure was eviden
ALEX'S POVI felt so frustrated the moment he called himself my father. Where was he all this while? Where was he when my mother was lying in the hospital? The knowledge that he had abandoned my mother tore me from the inside. I could forgive him for leaving me, but how could I forgive him for deserting my mother; that too when she needed him the most. If he was a normal human being, I could still understand. But, he was a powerful Golden Shifter, someone who is supposed to have immense power. Then, why was my mother left to die alone in the hospital? Couldn’t he have cured her with his powers?
