Hayden tried but failed to sleep , staring into empty space with many thoughts on his mind he stood up and walk towards the bar that was besides his kitchen and sat down on the stool to pour himself a glass of wine.
He sip his drink gingerly then suddenly he stopped halfway when he heard footsteps coming his way. He frown , confused. He has sent Jansen and Farrell home about two hours ago when it was confirmed that the three Beasts that go berserk has been caged down.
The scent hit his nostril and he turn to see kyle rubbing his eye lazily. The latter stop when he saw Hayden.
" Master, you are not sleeping " he said walking to him.
Kyle has been living with Hayden eversince he was assigned as his secretary. He wore a Black pajamas and his hair was disheveled from sleep." Where are you going? I hope you are not sleep walking " Hayden asked concerned. Kyle responded by smiling sheepishly, he knew his master care about him a lot.
" Not at all " he look over to Hayden who pays him no more attention and had continue sipping his wine " master are we safe now? I couldn't help but get scared with the thought of the beasts loosing their mind "
He watched as Hayden gritted his teeth before replying.
" I know but there is no aura that indicates danger in the air anymore " he said shrugging.
" Uh ... Master your bride, did you see her tonight? " Kyle asked hesitantly but as he was so curious he couldn't help but being nosy.
Hayden nodded in positive.
" I do , she is quite feisty. She got jealous when she saw me with Cecil at the annual event then later accused me of being nothing but a beast. " He replied smirking before he continued " I saved her earlier from one of those beast who went crazy "
Kyle froze in shock " You shifted in her presence? "
" No, I don't have to change fully to take down one of the beasts. Remember I'm the strongest of them all that's why they made me their leader. All i need is just my fangs "
Kyle flopped on another bar stool.
" Well that's fine, I'm sure she won't mind marrying you since you save... "
He choked back his remaining words when he saw Hayden eyes glowing. " Master... Your eyes... You are getting upset " Kyle stammared in fear. He quickly cover his mouth with his palm.
" I'm so sorry, i have spoken too much " he apologized bowing slightly to avoid Hayden's gaze.
" I'm not getting married to her, she hated the Beasts, insult them and look down on them. I can't marry someone like that, no i can't. " He told Kyle calmly.
The latter raised up his head slightly to stare at Hayden and he heave a sigh when he saw that his eyes are not glowing anymore.
" I'm going to the club , I can't think straight " Hayden announced walking away towards the exit but he stopped by Kyle who quickly run to his side.
" I will go with you " he look around fearfully and Hayden scoff.
" No need, get some rest. No beasts will dare enter my home and attack you if that's what you are worried about "
He didn't wait for reply as he quickly walk away towards the exit.
He get into his car and pull out, driving towards the club. He had been having a hard time getting his mind off the beautiful Isabella.
She doesn't want me, she said so herself but why do i feel miserable about it? He thought while driving.
His inner voice replied him
That's probably because it's been s while you have take in a woman.
He finally pull into the club and alighted. He scan everywhere throughly from where he stood but got no aura that indicates danger so he walk inside to the club and straight to the room he share with Cecil.
He pulled off his shirt tiredly and laid on the bed waiting for Cecil because he knows fully well she would have perceived his scent.
The door open slowly and Cecil walk in smiling, she wore a pink short and a small top that revealed almost all her body. Hayden's beast who usually growl when he saw Cecil stay muted to the surprise and frustration of Hayden.
Cecil smile sheepishly before pulling off her short slowly.
" I know you will come back " She said seductively while staring at Hayden's chest.
He got up from the bed to Cecil and help her undress before lifting her from the floor as if she weigh nothing less than zero pounds , her leg around his waist. Cecil fitted her lips on Hayden's hungrily as passion started to flare up in her. Hayden answered by laying her down on the bed roughly with his palm on her breasts stroking them gently.
Cecil tugged at his pants trousers but Hayden yanked her hands off gently. He stood up hastily breathing hard.
" Hayden, what's wrong? " Cecil asked in shock. Never had Hayden reject her on bed.
When do i start feeling remorseful? I owe Isabella nothing for beast Lord's sake ! He yell at himself inwardly. He turn to Cecil but he felt nothing whatsoever for her.
He picked up his shirt and walk out hastily.
What is going on with me? Why isn't my Beasts reacting the way it always does?
He get behind the wheel and drove out , driving home thinking hard.
Was it because of Isabella? No , never. I do not feel anything for her at all.
He shook his heard to push the thought away. He drove home and walk straight into his room.
Getting off his clothes ,he walk into the bathroom to shower. Trying to calm his trouble mind , he stayed under the cold water longer than necessary but no it doesn't help either.
He walked out of the bathroom naked and sat on the large bed staring ahead into space.
He finally laid on the bed covering his body with the bed coverlet, trying to get some sleep this time but then his door opened and both Farrell and Jansen rushed in.
Hayden sat up from the bed slowly ,confused at their behavior.
" What is wrong? " He asked glancing at their troubled face.
" It's the beasts we caged. they are gone" Farrell replied breathlessly.
" What! Gone? " Hayden replied in confusion and shock
He sprang up from the bed and quickly get dress.
" Let's get going " Hayden said hastily before walking out to the dawn.
Hayden step into his domain and sighed softly. No one is in sight and he knew the Beast lord and Leah would have vanished into thin air. He sighed again while taking his sit om his couch.Everything was in vain. The paranormal abilities and the effort to bring back the dead. He held out his palm to stare at them dejectedly. His thoughts went to Kyle and Farrell and he gulped down nervously. He was more devastated than anyone else. The death of the two was so much for him to take in. Farrell wasn't just a friend or his messenger and Kyle was much more than merely a secretary. Hayden has nothing to smile upon anymore, nor does he wish to be happy. He sat there on the couch for the whole day without movie any inch. He didn't weep nor did he lamented. He only sat there carried away by his bitter thought. ***" You should move in with us Joyce, i have explained all to my dad. We all know Kyle won't come back nor Jenny or Farrell " She stood in Joyce's living room staring at her bes
Hayden signed softly when he stare up at his house. Nothing makes him happier but the thought of Jenny and Farrell filled his troubled mind.He hang down his head before gritting his teeth.All hope was not lost yet, we still got Baby Rell with us. He thought to himself sorrowfully.Finally he was jerked off from his thoughts when Isabella walk to him." I need to check on my dad Hayden " She whispers tiredly " It's been almost a month " He only nodded in response. He turned to the others before nodding." I need sometime alone with my father " Jansen only sighed in response." i will go and check on Camille and the children " Jansen answered smiling weakly. He turn to Joyce who still couldn't believe Kyle was lost forever. she gulped down nervously , trying hard not to cry. " You should stay safe Joyce " " Thanks " She mutters weakly to Jansen.Hayden was busy watching everyone. He sighed again. " Be safe you two " He said to Isabella and Joyce " Just say a word if you ... " He
Kyle and Farrell finally appeared from the bush. The others have been waiting for them. Isabella smile at them , she was leaning against the car with Joyce next to her. Sidney was already seated in the driver's seat while Jansen and Tyler was at the backseat." We are sorry for taking so long " Kyle apologize while Farrell smile softly." Anyone had breakfast yet? " Farrell asked tucking his head inside the car beside Sidney. " Not yet " Jansen replied from the back " I think no one is hungry " Farrell straighten up and face the ladies outside. " You care for any food? " He asked them but they shook their heads in the negative. " Let's get moving then " he announced loudly.After about ten minutes they finished packing up their bags and ready to leave. It is a sunny cool day with the birds chirping lovingly around the vicinity. The journey began with them having light conversation and laughter. Gradually tall trees start revealing themselves, the vicinity was disturbingly silent
" My name is Rasmus and I am an only child " The Beast Lord started " Born without wealth and riches i am subjected into poverty at my early age. My poor father, a peasant farmer would toil the earth for many months with his tiny rusty hoe but that never was enough to provide for the family three square meal a day. I have to survive this ! i have to help mum and dad out of this misery. I woul say to myself many times. One fateful day i had an encounter with Leah, stunningly beautiful lady that caught my heart at once. We become friends eventually and along the line we fell head over heel in love with each other. unknown to me she is a princess " He stop suddenly to catch his breath, Staring at Isabella especially.Sidney who has been listening curiously give way to his anxiousness and asked." Is there a King at that time? " " Yes, there is a cruel King. He lives for many years to make my life miserable " He stop speaking to catch his breath. Farrell who has been watching him care
Hayden gulped down uncomfortably as he keep his Golden eyes on his father waiting for him to clear the confusion that was building in him." Continue father. Beast lord did what ? " He asked after a long minutes of silence. Pride walk away to the window and peer down." You aren't just a Beast Hayden. You are something else " He said gently looking out of the window and the cool breeze blows his hair backward." How do you mean father? If I'm not just a beast then what else am i ? How and why do i have to be different ? " Now he is panicking. A small like rock has settled in his stomach and he is having a hard time to drive it away." I don't know as well but when you were born... You are different " Pride replied in a low tone. This didn't help but just to increase the uneasiness of Hayden.He took a long stride to his father breathing roughly. He cant stay calm, no. This is about him being something else which he didn't Know." How do you mean different father... Explain to me in d
The drive to Beast quarter was a silent, tensed one. Finally Farrell who was driving heave a sigh of relief when he finally pulled into the Grandiose building and the massive gate open per his request.“ Let’s go Kyle ” Jansen said “ Stay close alright? ” “ Alright ” He said nodding.They entered the building cautiously and Kyle did as Jansen had advised him. “ Why are you here? ” The harsh voice of Neil came into their hearing as soon as they step into the building. “ Oh you have come to see Their criminal? ” Jansen scoffed softly. He knew Neil would never dare to call Pride a criminal in the presence of Hayden. They all know that it was only happening because of Hayden’s absence. “ We are here to see Pride Dark ” Farrell corrected “ Master’s father ” Neil gate vary from Farrell to Jansen and finally fell on Kyle. “ Isn’t that the Goblin we needed? ” Kyle stay closer to both the men in fear. His breathing hard and rasp all of a sudden. “ We are only here to have some words wi
Isabella couldn't believe her own eyes as she stare at her reflection in the mirror. She turn slowly to see the white painted room drifting back to normal. Horrified about what is happening for she couldn't see Sidney on the bed anymore. Isabella heard her name and she jerk awake instantly. " Issy are you alright? You have been sleeping " Joyce voice came into Isabella's ear and the latter stare around to find herself in Hayden's living room. Kyle was pacing about in panick and Cecil sat on the sofa accross her gingerly with her fingers brushing her hair comfortably. Isabella frown deeply when she realized she had been dreaming, she heave a sigh of great relief and her mind skip a beat instantly. " Where is my husband? " She asked no one in particular but the pacing Kyle stop in his track all of a sudden to stare hard at Isabella " where is Hayden? " Isabella choked out once again biting her lower lips to stifled a sob. " I really can't believe she could take a nap when her so
Rell was busy smiling up at Kyle’s face. It was almost dark and Isabella with Farrell hasn’t show up. Jansen's children has been a dear while his wife has been so helpful in the house. Tyler was still recovering while Joyce was with him all day, probably avoiding Kyle. Jansen walk into Kyle’s room without knocking. They are both getting accustom with one another. Well not by choice , the crucial time has finally brought them together. “ So they haven’t arrived?” he asked Kyle who leaned against the wall staring down through the window. “ They haven’t return ” He replied “ I’m having a bad feelings about this already.” Jansen gritted his teeth tightly then stood still to listen to Farrell’s voice. Kyle didn’t Interrupt him for he knew what the man was doing. After a while Jansen announced. “ They are on their way ” as though the baby heard and understand jansen’s words he coo softly smiling at his father’s friend. “ Bring him here ”Kyle gave the baby to Jansen carefully. “ You
" we will take you to the man you seek " Elvis, Kyle's second brother speak out in haste. He had witness the fury in Sidney's eyes and he knew the latter meant business. Elvis lead everyone through the hall and towards a dark locked room. " There he is " He whispers to Kyle who clenched his teeth in annoyance. Isabella knew why Hayden was left weak so she quickly dash towards the locked windows and opened it hurriedly. The ray of light splashed into the room at once and everywhere was lighted up. Hayden was there, sprawled on the floor with his eyes closed. " He seem dead after we locked him up in this Dark room and ... " Kendell wasn't lucky enough to finish his words when Isabella charged at him. Farrell quickly grab her from behind before she claw her way to Kyle's step brother. " Darkness is Hayden's secret for goodness sake! " She yell out furiously " If anything bad happens to my husband, i promise I won't let you live " She swore hotly. No one speak , all of a sudden and s
