31. Her wishes

[Zeve’s POV] “What do you mean, if I am living? Of course, I am.” He said, tilting his head as he narrowed his eyes. “What is the purpose of your life? What keeps you going?” He peered into my eyes for a long time, then said with a subtle smirk, “told you right now. It’s to change this world. That’s the only goal of this life of mine.” “But how? By killing countless people. By being merciless and heartless. By violence? If that is what you are living for, then what are you living for?” “At least I have a goal, a purpose defined for my life. Right, wrong, I don’t care. Bad, good, I don’t care. Humane, inhumane, I don’t care. I am much better than a-living-nothing like you. Empty from inside like a puppet. As if you were tam…” he stopped speaking. My heart sped up as I expected hearing that word ‘tamed’ again. That word. That one word had ruined my whole life. He cleared his throat. My body turned stiff. “You are easy to manipulate.” He avoided using that word. But why? Did he

32. Worried about him?

[Zeve’s POV] “Ah! Amor…” His grip on my arm tightened. I dropped my gaze, trying to push him away from me. “Please let go. Why are you suddenly like this?” I stopped struggling and my body relaxed when he left me and stepped a few steps back. Holding my arms, I looked at him, panting. More than me, he looked confused. He looked puzzled and restlessly looked into nothingness. Tensing his brows, he glared at me. “Forget about it.” I gulped. I wanted to ask him about what I should forget, but didn’t. I was still scared of him. I stepped back from him, clenching and unclenching my fists. He walked to me, and I stepped back in a hurry. He held my wrist. “No!” I yelled. He glared at me. “Please shut up. You know better than anyone else, I am neither going to hurt you nor do something unethical to you. I am not in the right state of mind right now, so please obey, ok?” What other option did I have? I nodded. He gently wrapped his palm around my wrist. I walked behind him, looking a

33. The unknown melody

[Zeve’s POV] I turned around and Venus was there with her husband, Zahir. Why the hell did I hope it to be Amor? I smiled at her. “Venus.” “Everything ok? Your partner, what was his name? Chaz! He left without a word and then you ran off in a hurry too…” I averted my eyes nervously and said, “he is not my partner and his name is not Chaz. His name is Amor.” I said, avoiding eye contact with her. “Oh, I am sorry. I didn’t know.” She said in a confused tone. “I shouldn’t have pried in your personal matters,” Venus said, and I dropped my gaze to the ground. “That is why I tell you to keep your mouth shut,” Zahir whispered to her. She hit his biceps. “I thought they were a couple. Anyone would think that.” She whispered to him, then looked at me. Holding my hand in hers, she said, “I am sorry, Zeve. But what happened? Why do you look so worried? Can we help you?” “No. Everything is fine. Umm. Actually, do you know a place that is isolated and few people go there?” I asked her.

34. Follow the wind

[Zeve’s POV] He knit his brows, leaving my arms. Tilting his head, he said, “huh?” The barriers holding back my tears crumbled. “I thought I hurt you. I made you sad. Something I said… I don’t know what I thought… I thought nothing, or I thought so many things that I couldn’t choose what I thought and foolishly started searching for you.” I licked my lips and gulped, shutting my eyes. I took a deep breath and calmed myself. I looked at him. His gaze hadn’t left me for a second. “I know you won’t trust me. I know you think I am lying, but you are right. I had no one to save me. Who would risk their life to protect me? Why would someone give their everything for me?” Sniffling, I wiped my tears. “I have always begged to be spared, and that is how I will keep living. Begging you to have mercy on me, to hurt me a little less if possible, it’s ok if you don’t. I will never complain about anything...” Tears flooded my eyes and streamed incessantly on my cheeks. He held my wrist and p

35. Eating together

[Zeve’s POV] We reached the inn. While going upstairs, we met Zahir and Venus, who were also staying in that inn. “Oh! Are you two staying here, too?” Venus asked with a warm smile. “No, we are here for sightseeing,” Amor said mockingly. “Of course, this is an inn. Travellers come here to rest during long journeys.” Venus broke out into laughter. “You have such a great sense of humour. Of course, it was foolish of me to ask you that question. Have you two had your dinner?” She looked at us. “No,” I said. Zahir wanted to stop Venus, but she said out anyway, “why don’t all of us have dinner together? It’s difficult to find people from our culture in these foreign countries. If you two join us, it will be really amazing.” She looked at both of us with hopeful coaxing eyes. “Venus, we mustn’t disturb them…” “No. I think it’s a great idea. Let’s have dinner together.” Amor looked at me. I nodded once, and he gave them a confirmation nod. We sat in the lawn area of the inn on chairs

36. Lock your door

[Zeve’s POV] “Hmm, yeah.” Amor said with a slight nod. “Our Alpha has the same name. What a cruel coincidence.” “Alpha Amor Blaze. My goodness, I get chills just hearing his name. I have heard so many tales about his cruelty and mercilessness…” Venus said and Amor stopped eating for a while, then continued. He was calm even though they were talking about him.“But I think it is because of him vampires have come under control and our Arginieth, which was a hell because of those blood sucking creatures, is livable now.” Venus said.“That’s how kingdoms and rules of a kingdom work. Based on fear. Many have different opinions about him becoming the Alpha of such a large pack at such a tender age, but things he has achieved in just a few years of his rule are beyond commendable. Like his father couldn’t create a monolithic pack, but he did…” “But at the cost of so many lives.” Venus interrupted Zahir. “If you look from my point of view, nothing much has changed for women in our society.

37. Self defence

[Zeve’s POV] I shifted back, “what do you want? You say you don’t want my body, so why do you keep touching me?” “Because I want you to stay safe. And I want to teach you self defence so that you wouldn't feel the need to call out for me to protect you. So remember a few things."I peered at him pressing my lips together. I tensed my brows as he started speaking."First, lock your room. Forget yourself, but don’t forget to lock your room. Be it while we are travelling or when we are in my palace."I literally had my heart in my throat while he lectured me. I placed my hand over my chest, feeling my erratic beats."Second, scan around the room when you enter. Sharpen your senses. Stop saying to yourself you can’t and start visualising yourself already doing it. If you are ever pinned on a bed forcefully by anyone — man, woman — anyone. Try to get on your side and curl your body in a foetus position…” He laid on the bed and then showed me how to do it. He laid flat on his back and the

38. Do you trust them

[Zeve’s POV] The morning began, but what happened last night was like a stubborn hangover. His words kept on repeating in my mind. I was constantly thinking about him and it was annoying. His thoughts were supposed to fill me with rage, bitterness and an eternal bloodlust for revenge — they did. But something about those emotions building in my heart was strange, faltering and unfathomable. “Why did he teach me self defence out of blue?” I talked to myself. Questions were all over my mind, but I knew Amor wasn’t straight enough to give me a straight answer. He would make them twisted, might even lie. He was definitely not doing all that for me. Deep down, I knew he had some ulterior motives. How can teaching me self defence help him? I thought, peering outside the window as the grey clouds took abstract forms with the dark clouds. I was sitting on a chair. “It all started after I told him I wanted to see the day. Or maybe not? Tsk! Why is he doing what he is doing? Does he not

39. Wild cat

[Zeve’s POV] “What do you mean by if I trust them? They are so in love. They are a perfect couple. Why do you doubt them? They are just enjoying themselves, right?” I asked him. He kept peering at me for a long time, then said with a strange smile on his face. It wasn’t exactly sad, but painful in a teasing way. “Second question: who do you trust more? Them or me?” He asked as his gaze bound mine with his. “Who do you want me to trust? Them… or you?” I asked him. There was a smooth silence between us. A silence that felt as if every word we spoke reverberated into a fading abyss. We kept peering at each other, worshipping the silence until he said, “well played, Zeve Freedom. But it’s not about who I want you to trust, it’s about who could earn your trust. I think I know my answer, but I will ask this question again. Who do you trust, them or me?” “Them.” I said and a satisfactory smile appeared on his face. As if he was expecting me to trust them and not him. I don’t know wh

40. The strange book

[Zeve’s POV] The next day, the four of us set out for Phantoria. It would be a long journey, so Zahir and Amor agreed to hire a public carriage. All Amor did was sleep for most of the journey, while Zahir was reading some kind of book. The book had a red cover with beautifully calligraphed golden words and design on its leather cover. It was in a language I didn’t understand. Venus kept talking to me about various things. Most of the time I tried dodging her questions and the other times I had to make tricky answers so that what I said wouldn’t be a lie, but not a complete truth either. I had learnt this from Amor when he answered about his profession to Zahir. We travelled for two weeks. Stopping now and then in inns and resting before setting off on the journey. I could tell one thing for sure — Amor might have said this journey was a pre marriage ritual, but all he wanted to do was sleep day and night. How could a man sleep so much? He woke up to eat, freshen up or to get me
