FAZER LOGINI was frozen for a minute, stiff as a board, but a bite from him drew me out of it. The kiss was nothing like I had heard of, it was neither slow nor gentle. He claimed my lips like every part of me belonged to him, I followed his lead, trying hard to keep up, finally with a loud pop he let go. “There goes my answer, princess.” He chuckled. I stared at him, unsure of how to react, my hands touched my lips, still dazed, “What just happened.” I mumbled “I just claimed you princess, you're stuck with me for life.” He shrugged My heart skipped two beats, who acted like that, “Don't be ridiculous, I'm a person not an object.” He stood, eyes locked on mine, without blinking, he took off the coat he wore. I shut my eyes quickly, “what are you doing?” “Don't make me open those eyes myself Lilith, trust me” his voice was stern but hypnotic. I found myself wanting to obey, slowly I peeled through an eye, then shut them instantly. “You've gone mad, wear your clothes.” “Don
Lilith I felt my blood run cold, confessing something I had kept buried for years, ever since Zorya or rather Aella forgot about it. “You couldn't do anything about it,” Sage said plainly. I shut my eyes, hands clenched, “Which is exactly why it hurts even more. The fact that I couldn't do anything about it, I couldn't stop him from hurting her, she was nearly dead when we found her” Something flickered in his eyes, they softened but I didn't want this, I didn't want to be pitied, I didn't want pity, especially not from him, I continued what I started, “She was never the same after the encounter, violence and killing became her second nature, like he had somehow rewired her way of thinking and way of life.” I sighed “How did she change?” “Her memories were wiped after her last killings, she murdered some palace ladies, I took the punishment in exchange for her pain. I wanted her to forget about him, his traumas, whatever it was he did to her, all of it.” I mumbled. Sage'
That piqued her interest. “What do you want?” She steadied her voice, just as she was taught, no emotions, no looking back, “Bring Zorya back.”Selene shook her head, “He wanted you and you swapped places with Zorya, or she swapped, all that matters is your with me, she stays with him.” She narrowed her eyes, “I'm not asking, mother. Bring her back.”Selene’s lips curled, “And if I don't? What do I get out of this?” Zareal's heart shattered once more at this heartless mother of hers, “she's your daughter.” “I'm aware. Carried you both at the same time.”“Bring her back from that monster, he's done something to her. And I'll do whatever you want, the training, and take over your duties when the time comes.”Selene scoffed, “Tell me something new, you are going to take over from me when the time comes, so that's not exactly dealing material, your training is non-negotiable too.”Zareal nodded, “And what assurance do you have that I will follow your wishes when I finish them? I won't
He was gone as promised, not for two weeks, no, he was gone for far longer, so much so that the twins learned to breathe without him, Zareal grew properly, Zorya not far behind. Their bond only grew stronger with time.Finally, two years later he was back, just as promised and now there was nothing, absolutely nothing or anyone to stop him. He stormed the halls, his long strides echoing loudly, strutting like he owned the place. Selene stopped him, but this time was different“He wants me” Zareal trembled,“You can't know that for sure” Zorya consoled, “I’m sure mother will drive him away”“No,” Zareal shook her head fervently, “You don't understand” the tears streaked down freely, “He told me himself, he was going to take me away himself, make sure i never see you or mother again.” Her body quaked, she bit down on her nails hard, “And now he's here to fulfill that promise, he's here to take me away” she mumbled.“No,” zorya snarled, “Not under my watch” she shook her head, “there mu
Flash Back Two little girls jumped around, playing and chasing each other round a glassy room. They chased themselves in circles, tossing each other around, both impossibly identical, same ice blue pupils, same jawline, cheekbones, only difference being that one inherited their father's fiery hair and the other was plated in silver.Just as they played happily they suddenly stopped, body shaking as they watched a massive figure storm towards them. “Zorya, I'm scared” the silver haired one muttered, sinking deeper into the background. Her sister held her hand, hoping they could somehow turn invisible, getting noticed now especially when he was in a mood never ended well — not for them.The closer he got the more their hearts roared with a fear, a fear of the unknown, a fear of something that had long been engraved into their tiny skulls, something he personally made sure of.The figure got to them and stormed right past them, the fur he wore sweeping air across like they were not
“Precisely like the grim reaper, only more dangerous and hateful,” He said. “Damn, that was a lot. Wait, how do you know all these?” She eyed him, “and if my memories serve me right, Az is a god.”“Only after he ascended to godhood.” He shrugged, like it was the plainest truth out there, “Also, we immortals have the best information network,” he said proudly, “I don't think there's any race that beats it.” His voice was smug.Lilith rolled her eyes, “Pride goes before a fall Sage.” “This is fact not pride darling. It's pure fact,” he smirked, “Can I return to my story now?” “Sure.” She scratched her nose, “No more interruptions this time.” “Yeah right.” Sage gave her a look that said he didn't believe a word she said. She sighed, it wasn't like she could help it. “Anyway, Azrathul spent the rest of his days in Goth roaming and training, preparing for his ascension.” He paused, then Continued, “his travels corrupted him, turned him into something, twisted the manual from selene
