All Chapters of Bound By Fate, Burned By Love : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Damon The day had continued smoothly, so smoothly I even forgot about training with Mr Zeke and by the time I was done with my afternoon classes, I was excited to meet Rhys. I had sent him a text an hour ago, telling him that the outing would be fine as long as I liked it. He had texted back saying he would be there soon. “What are you smiling about?" Luca asked me as we went to our lockers. He looked curious and I wasn't sure what to say, the truth? Or just a lie?Finally, I answered him, “Umm, I'm just going out for lunch. I miss eating from my favorite restaurant" at least half the truth, I didn't say I was going with someone else. Almost like I expected he spoke up immediately, “Take me with you" I groaned inwardly, rolling my eyes. “No Luca, I can't take you with me. I want to do it alone, we could go out together some other time though" I discouraged him. He pouted sadly, obviously not wanting to do as I said but there wasn't a choice, I was the one with the car today, I c

Luciano There was a knock on my door, I knew who it was before it opened. Father had come to see me. I wouldn't have been able to guess why if I hadn't been the one to spur the chain of events that led to this event. He walked in, not bothering to wait for my call to come in. He pulled the chair opposite me and sat down, a look of doom on his face. “If no one knows it, I do. Why did you do it?" He asked me, his eyes not leaving mine. That was one thing I hated about how he treated me, like I was a kid that couldn't make a decision, I was a century old, I was capable of decisions that wouldn't put us in doom. I shrugged nonchalantly, “Because it was the right one. They had challenged us for too long and with no consequences, if we had made no move, it would have continued and our rule would have been undermined” I could see that father already knew this, he was only trying to keep the merciful king's front which I hated. He was far from merciful, he had wiped out thousands who ha

DamonI headed straight to Mr Zeke's studio once I was ready, training would begin in a few minutes and I didn't want to be late. Luca had sent a text so I opened it to check before going in, “Don't forget our plans tonight" he said. I sent back a text, telling him that I hadn't and we were still on. It wasn't as if I had something important I was doing that I could miss it for. Inside, Mariam was already there waiting. I wondered how she was always early, especially as she didn't stay around here. Unlike me who lived here but wasn't as punctual. I sat down beside her, “Hey, you're early as usual" I told her as I sat down. She made a face, "I have to leave much earlier for this, it's frustrating but well, this is where I've found myself” she said then smiled. We continued speaking for a while, with her telling me about the new job she had gotten that paid much better than the old one and how it was easier to work there. I felt happy for her, even though the whole thing didn't sou

LucianoIt had been a week after and somehow we hadn't gotten any closer to finding out where they were. They had hidden so well that none of my men had any clue where they were even after they had followed some of their messengers. It was annoying and for now I couldn't make any moves myself without dad knowing. I had to keep using Lucien and Tristan. There was a knock on my door, “Come in" I answered, my eyes glued to the door. I knew it was Tristan before he walked in. “Prince, there's been a slight development. One of their commanders was spotted" he announced and it felt like Christmas had come much earlier.I sat up straight, my eyes bright, “Where and are we sure it was him?’ I asked to make sure. He nodded, "Yes Prince but then the issue with that is the fact that he disappeared not long after that, we don't know how or where” he explained. I smirked, it didn't matter how or where, if they had spotted him somewhere I would find the truth, all I needed was some time. "Whe

DamonIt felt like the world had stopped still when he was done talking. I couldn't move, standing frozen and staring at him. Maybe I hadn't heard right. He shook his head smiling, “You definitely heard right. I just needed to take that off the table before we continued" he finished. He went to the shelf and picked out two books, coming towards me again with them. “You need to sit and read this. I'm not sure you'll understand it all well enough without sitting” he led me towards the chair in the room. I followed behind him, unable to say anything else. So much was happening and somehow I was lost in all of it. I could have asked him what was happening at that moment. I had somehow found myself with the enemy. This time I hadn't fallen into just any vampire's trap, no, I had chosen one of Luciano's enemies to fall into. As I sat down on the chair, I looked at Rhys, unable to believe that he had faked so much for all that time. The dance we had shared at the club, including the lu
