LOGINOscar didn't answer immediately. He also wasn't sure of the reason why the portal wasn't responding to Logan. He moved closer and touched the carvings at the same place where Logan's hands were.“I don't know why it isn't responding to you. Perhaps you aren't concentrating enough. Is there anything in your mind that is distracting you at the moment?” Oscar asked.Logan didn't say anything. He knew he had tried so hard to concentrate but he couldn't stop thinking about his family and what happened that night, especially his twin sister. He had thought about it in the corner of his mind even as he tried to concentrate. He saw images of his family flashing in his mind.“I am a little distracted.” Logan confessed.Silas leaned closer to Logan and patted his back. “Please concentrate. You know millions of lives underground are banking on you. Please, my love, concentrate.” He caressed Logan's face a bit when he was done talking.Logan took his hand off the wall. He cracked his knuckles and
Oscar paused outside the archives, looking around like he was thinking of something. The gemstone was still in his hands, wrapped carefully in a cloth. Silas and Caine were still standing nearby.It was still glowing through the cloth. The soft green light could be seen spreading through it.“We should go to the dungeon,” Oscar said as he wrapped the gemstone more carefully. “We should be able to train earlier to bring the vampires on the land.”Logan nodded. Oscar led the way to the dungeon. Caine walked by his side while Logan and Silas were a few inches behind. As they moved ahead, Silas did something unexpected. He took his hand and wrapped it around Logan's waist, drawing Logan closer to him.Logan looked at Silas and smiled. He didn't react at first or try to take Silas' hand away. After all, they had just agreed to be lovers. Logan noticed as they moved that most of the omegas had reduced. The workers that usually lined every corridor were lesser in number. It was all due to th
Logan pulled the library door shut behind him and turned into the corridor. He had just forgiven Caine. He took a deep breath and took a few steps out before he bumped into someone.Oscar was standing right there. Logan stopped. Oscar looked at him and then at the library door and then back at Logan without asking any questions about what Logan had been doing in there."I was looking for you," Oscar said. "I was about to head to the archives. From the map I read, I and Silas confirmed that the gemstone is likely inside. We should go now."Logan nodded. "Let us go."They walked together through the palace corridors toward Silas' chambers first to get him. Logan knocked and Silas opened the door already dressed and ready for the day. He had returned a long while from the council and was ready to go about his other activities."We need to go to the archives," Logan said.Silas nodded. "I know. Oscar sent word earlier." He stepped out and pulled his door shut and the three of them walked
Logan left Monty's room. He needed to head out to get something to eat. He got to the omega's quarters and saw most of them already packing their things. He was confused at first until he asked an omega a question.The answer the omega gave made him remember what Silas had said earlier. “The king had said that we can leave with anything we want and those who want to stay here can keep staying, but I'm leaving anyway.” The omega said to Logan and went back to packing his things.Logan saw most of them packing expensive clothes, wines and even money that they said had been given to them. Logan looked around the room one more time. Eric was also there, supervising what was being done.Logan walked out of the room. He wasn't leaving. He had a lot of things to do. He turned around and met someone standing behind him. It was Caine.“What are you doing here? Why standing behind me like that?” Logan questioned.Caine took a deep breath. “Can we talk privately? In a place where no one is?”Log
THE COUNCIL MEETINGSilas walked into the council chamber and sat at the head of the table. The room was full. Every alpha master who kept omega servants in Hericon had been summoned and they were all present. Some of them had brought their advisors. The council members who sat regularly with Silas were already in their seats on either side of him. The room was loud with side conversations when Silas entered and it quieted down when he sat. Silas looked around the table and waited until the last of the talking stopped."Thank you for coming," he said. He said it as a formality and not as genuine gratitude because attendance at a summons from the king was not optional and everyone in the room knew that. "I have called this meeting because there is a matter that requires immediate attention and formal declaration."He looked around the table again. "The omega servant system is being abolished in Hericon. It is effective immediately."The room erupted. Several people spoke at the same t
He headed towards the room that Monty was in. He knocked on the door and without waiting for a response he entered, which made him question why he even knocked in the first place if he was already going to barge in.He was met with an unexpected sight. Theo was already there. He held a spoon filled with soup towards Monty and was feeding him. Logan bowed slightly as he greeted Theo.“Trady,” Monty squealed in excitement as he sighted his friend.Logan rushed towards his side and hugged Monty. They remained hugging for quite a long time before they disentangled from the hug.Logan brushed the hair on Monty's face backwards and squeezed his hand in an affectionate manner. “I'm guessing you're much better now,” Logan said.Monty nodded. “I am, but the leg. I don't know what is wrong with it.”Logan swallowed hard and looked at Theo. They were both telling themselves that they had a secret to keep about Monty's leg condition. They couldn't just tell him that he wouldn't be able to walk ag
Logan hesitated for a second before moving, as if he was trying to confirm that he was hearing correctly. It wasn't until Silas pointed at the basket containing a bathing sponge, soap, and a towel that Logan knew he actually meant what he said.He reached for the basket and pulled out the sponge an
Logan wondered if it was just him who didn't notice the women, but the female workers had reduced in number, and almost everyone he saw in the past few days were men. He put on the clothes which felt more comfortable than the ones he wore earlier.He was led to Silas' room, sandwiched between Eric
Logan pondered on Ray's words, even after Ray left. He sat on the bed, staring at the shadows that were cast by the sunlight entering the room.A sigh escaped his lips. He still found it hard to believe what was happening to him. From what he saw when he died, he now knew that he had been reborn. R
Eric cleared his throat and motioned to Logan, “let's go.”Logan didn't get up from the low stool that he sat on.“Aren't you hearing me? I said you should follow me.”“Where?” He questioned curtly, while refusing to move an inch. “Inside the hall.” Eric responded, while moving towards Logan like h
