Azzazal's pov"You haven't slept yet?" Azzazal asked Althea when he noticed that she is sitting on his bed deep in thoughts.He made his way towards the dressing table and picked something up from there. He approached her and fastened something around her neck.She looked down at the pendant in surprise."What is it?" She asked, trying to look at it properly.But it's short length didn't allow her much to see."Go and look in the mirror, you can look at it more clearly" he advised looking at her curiosity.He made his way into the bathroom to freshen up as he just arrived from the human world.His father wanted him to kill a few innocent people to get his hands on their parchment papers, which has some spells written by the dark creatures. They were protecting those, so they would not get into the wrong hands. But my brother found them and wanted them to gain power with the spells.He loathed every second of it. The o

Darius povDarius sat near the edge of the lake remembering their last night together. If she would have been open about the situation she was in back then, then things would have been different. If he confessed about his feelings, maybe then she would have opened up about what happened to her and what's happening with Ornan.Miscommunication and assuming that it won't work between them is the reason why they had faced so much grief and had to stay away from each other for so long.He beat himself up for not confessing his feelings towards her earlier. But what is done is done. I cannot undo the past. The one thing I can promise never to let happen again is giving a chance to Ornan.I will never let that rat bastard touch what belongs to me. Thea belongs to me and me alone. She doesn't know it yet, but she will soon. Even if she doesn't love me in this life, even then I will not let her go. I am it for her.I have been giving her time to adjust to her n

Darius povThe next morning I left Thea in the company of Max and Melanie. I heard how the latter helped Thea when the pack was breached by the dead of the dark world."I need a word with you Johnathan," I tell Thea's father when I pass him in the hallway towards my study."Yes, my King" he follows behind me closely.I go inside and let the door open for him. He comes inside and closes it behind him.I settle down in my chair and look at him closely. Now that I am observing him, yes indeed he resembles the priest I killed almost 100 years ago.He needs to know everything about what's happening here. Knowledge is power. If he knew about the issue at hand he will be much more prepared than being ignorant.Knowing about our enemy is what gives us an advantage over him. Johnathan will also be aware of how dangerous and old this person is.He should know the obsession Ornan holds over Thea. But, what is his purpose for all this?

Almost all the shifters in the royal pack were acting as if they don't have any control over their animal form.Only a few of them remain sane, and even they were confused as to why their fellow pack members acting this way.The moment Darius reaches my side, I told him what I observed earlier. All the crazed shifters become normal as soon as they touch the water of the lake.That's when Darius got suspicious about all this. "It's not the water, it's the magic spell I cast over it that's helping them to regain control over their animal again" he explained what he understood from my observation.We found Melanie a little distance away from the lake fighting with one wolf and one bear shifter in their animal forms.She is injured, and if it's not for Max who reached them on time, she would be in a much more critical stage now.He sprinkled the water on the shifters which his shirt absorbed when he came into the water with me.As so

We cry like kids. I am happy y that she is free from his clutches."I am so sorry. He came after you because of me" I feel guilty that she had to suffer so much because of me."No Thea, it's not your mistake" she is trying to make me feel better."It's true Amber, if you are not my friend, then he wouldn't have known that you exist at all. He targeted you because of me. After you guys left me in the city, so much has happened. Vampires took me and Li" I explained."Oh my God Thea, you alright" she searched my neck and arms for visible puncture wounds.I smile at her, looks like, my Amber is back."Relax Amber, that's the least scary thing I faced since then" I sigh heavily."After Darius brought us back, I met Catherine" she looked at me and groaned."You were in a roller coaster ride without me?" She asked and we laughed."Ya, then I made my way into the dark world" all the color drained off her face.I can understand her
