Myra
“What? He kicked out Eric?” I couldn’t believe my ears. When I walked into the training area, I caught the tail end of the conversation about Eric and Jamie shaking his head. “I didn’t realise he would take such a bad turn.” And when I asked who, they stalled for a while before Vi divulged everything in one breath.
“But…why?” I was flabbergasted. Andrew didn’t seem like someone to kick someone out. Vi gave a sidelong glance towards Jamie, whose nervous gaze darted towards Brandon, who didn’t even look at me, but somewhere above my head.
“We don’t know,” Jamie said all too quickly. I frowned. They won’t tell me the reason and I knew that they were fully aware of the situation. I turned around and left, deciding to go straight to Andrew. He was, unfortunately, not in the study and that woman who roamed ar
Whaddya think?
MyraIt was refreshing to watch the treeline become smaller and smaller as we approached the town. “Roll down the glass, breathe in some fresh air,” Jamie said, looking at me through the rearview mirror. I complied. The air was truly refreshing, not hot or painstakingly cold, just gentle on the skin. It carried a mixture of scents - mud, dirt, dried leaves and a faint smell of baked goods.“Put on some music,” Vi suggested from beside me, opening a bag of chips. She offered me, which I generously accepted. “Hey, give us some too.” Jamie pouted. “I packed some in your bag,” Brandon murmured. Jamie 'aww’d at that and smacked a loud kiss on his mate’s cheek. I was amused at how Brandon’s ears turned red. The man was a buff guy, scary to those who may not know him, but one fond look or a
Damian My feet carried me to the entrance before I could rethink or reevaluate my decision. I saw the surprised looks of Ryan and alpha Leo when they sensed my arrival. “What’s up?” Ryan asked, baffled. Before I could even reply, Violet was in front of me. Her lips curled into a sneer. “Leave. Now.” Her eyes flickered from their normal violets to black. My gaze darted towards my Ryan and Leo who were staring with twin expressions of astonishment. Alpha Leo regained his composure before Ryan. “Hey, speak to him respectfully, young lady,” Alpha Leo tried to intervene, but Violet didn’t pay any heed to him, staring me down with open hostility. “I was just curious. No ill wills,” I murmured, even though all I wanted then was to rush to Myra and see if she was okay. Violet’s jaw ticked. Ja
Damian I think Celie was actually surprised to hear my voice. “I heard what Ryan told me and I will see what I can do to stave off this suspicion. And by the way, I am calling you to tell you that the memory lock of yours isn’t working. It’s more harmful than you had imagined, so I am staying back at Ivy Ville where Myra and I think I will show my face to her.” I didn’t mean to sound accusing or annoyed at Celie’s methods but at the moment it was becoming difficult to not to do so. I heard her sigh. “Did she have any attack or something?” “She did. Apparently I left my ring at her place and I don’t even remember when which I guess triggered her memory or something else I don’t know but her friend Violet showed me the ring which Andrew had given me before.” I was basically stating what I suspec
Damian Vi shot daggers at me, warning me silently that if I turned, there would be consequences. I wanted to challenge her, but I was strangely hesitant. What if something happened to her if I turned? But then again, she would be in a bad state without me as well and wouldn’t be able to go on for much longer. “Just a patrol guard,” Violet muttered as she walked past me, giving me a sidelong glare before walking up to her friend. “Let’s go. I am starving.” I could hear the feeble protest of Myra , inquisitive as ever, but Violet herded her away. “You shouldn’t have come outside in this weather,” I heard Violet scold her mildly. “It’s not a problem,” Myra replied and soon their voices turned fainter until they were almost incoherent to my ears. I remained standing where I had been for a long time, like a coward, dumbass who couldn’t even face his
Myra “Violet…” I mumbled tentatively but her angry gaze was not on me but on Damian. I was keenly aware of his hand on my waist, the icy touch a constant reminder of the closeness and the heated moment we just shared before getting interrupted. I felt a dull ache behind my eyes. Violet got up and yanked me hard. I would have almost collided with her and gotten free from Damian’s hold had he not been holding my waist in a vice-like grip. What happened was my forehead bumped into his chest and I was completely encircled in his hold. I tried to pull away but he didn’t let me. I couldn’t see where he was looking but it was definitely at Violet. “You are misunderstanding me,” he murmured. “Oh really? Well, where the fuck am I makin
Myra Damian’s words echoed in my mind. I stared at the vacant space left by him, hardly registering Vi’s soothing and comforting words. But all I could think of was how his bloodthirst, a terrible decision of escaping the coming-of-age ceremony had ruined my whole life. But why then….did I remember a woman’s voice, the Queen’s voice and that of another man? I brushed off those thoughts. These questions were useless now because I had found the culprit who had killed my parents. “Myra….Myra.” I turned to Vi, mechanically. Her eyes were clouded with worry, her lips downturned in a frown. “Do you want me to inform Andrew? Do you want to go?” But this was supposed to be a retreat, no? I wanted to say but all that came out of my mouth was a choked, and garbled noise. I slumped against my friend and belatedly realized that I was sobbing.
Myra Eric approached me with purposeful steps. I thought he would stop at some distance, but to my utter surprise and astonishment, he didn’t and instead, engulfed me in a hug. I was frozen for a couple of seconds, trying to process what he was trying, why he was hugging me and then all of a sudden, Akira awakened, and I came to my senses. “What the hell are you doing?” With all my strength, I shoved and broke free, stumbling backwards in the process. His hands fell to his side. He masked the hurt quite quickly and said, “Why do you think? I am lurking in a different territory and risking my neck for you. Andrew might have kicked me out, but I can’t leave you just like that. You are my mate. I can’t leave you to some… bloodsucker.” When I had first met Eric, I had a different im
DamianI stared at her as she looked at me with the same smug expression which she usually reserves for the Mages and Witches who come to the court for her assistance. The phantom emotion called anger gripped my dead heart. I frowned. “What are you talking about?” I knew that feigning innocence will not be a good thing but might as well try.She folded her arms and put on a thoughtful expression on her face. She steepled her fingers and hooked her chin on the interlocked fingers, pretending, yes pretending to be thoughtful.“You know, Damian, I have been walking on this earth longer than you. I have information and proof.” I clenched my jaw. She wouldn’t buy it. The stare down went on for a long time before I averted my gaze. “Well. yes…Yes,
