Semua Bab CURSED BLOOD TO ASHES: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter 21. DARIUS POV. DEATH AT BANQUET. I heard the people cheer while I walked through and towards the hallway but there she stood, face flushed in pink. Not the regular person I have seen recently. I saw her fingers fidget and later she would roll them till they caught around the slit. She was not shy, I knew. It was not her first gathering at a banquet. From where I stood, something seemed to bother her. I walked towards her, “May I have this dance with you, my lady?” And stretched forth my hands. Her gaze locked with mine. She hesitated at first and later took my hands. I had thought it was strange that I kept glancing towards her and seeing her eyelids flutter, like she was scared of something happening. My wolf even growled whenever I tilted my head away from her. I ignored it still. We danced, sat down until other performers started to dance. The light suddenly went off and a gasp escaped Mira. My eyebrows twitched.What exactly did I not know about? My chest star

Chapter 23. THE MASTER'S POV. “Motherfucker! What do you mean a guard saw you both glow!” I slammed my hands against the desk before me and some paperwork scattered due to the effect. The guard standing beside me bent to pick them up. My eyes darted to the ink that had splattered to the floor and caused a stain but that was the least of my worries now. “We.. we.. after I left the place, I was cornered by a palace guards, we fought together and even though I overthrew him, the blade of his sword slit my wrist.”“And so..” Drake started to say. My head snapped to the other who cowered like a fool and trembled as he spoke. “Same. And it was the same guard. Saw the glow and seeing it was one of us, I rushed to him and we evaded their place.”They needed not to say a word further as I threw a frame at them. The thud of it when it hit the ground only made my hands roll into a ball of fist. “Now that you have given them a clue to finding us, reinforce your arms. Train better and never

Chapter 25. COINCIDENCE OR OVERTHINKING?DARIUS POV. I had reached my chamber and seeing Kai stiffen reminded me of my plainness and rigidity. I posed my legs better so that my arms raised high before I stopped before him and the other guards. Immediately, they lowered their eyes but I wished one of them locked eyes with mine that burned in rage and too much storm brewed so I could lash out my anger. Well I was Darius, I could pick an offence especially with the guard that had a mole to his cheek who trembled and even shifted backwards. He might have not noticed but bet me, the slightest mistake has me raging with much. “You!” I yelled and before I could say anymore, the Mira I thought was in the palace slumped to the floors in my memories, an arrow seeping through her chest. Usually, dying for me was normal. Other guards have done that and it was no big deal but this person, why did it feel like I must appreciate it. I clicked my tongue against my teeth and before I knew it, I

Chapter 27.DARIUS' POV. “Your highness.” she responded as she fought to keep her head raised to meet my gaze. I smirked, scaredy little cat. “What is it that has brought you here!” my voice rose sharper than intended and since It had been spilled, there wasn't any time to take it back. I was so aware I had put her to sleep for fifty days? Or maybe seventy? I had heard the maids rumor about it and once they saw me or even Kai, their lips always went sealed. Well, I didn't care. Now, I felt sweat gather at my forehead, Gabe was the only thing that struck me once Kai gave his report. I should have given order to track whoever the master was but if my consciousness had to be right?I dug my fingers against my palm, “stop it, Darius! We both know he's dead. He couldn't have survived.”I knew I was trying to comfort myself but just if any miracle happened, I felt my nerves tingle until my nose inhales a sharp feminine presence that I'm reminded of Selene. “Why are you here?” She pa

Chapter 29. KAI'S POV. THEN LET IT KILL US. The alpha had dismissed me after I had tendered the day's report to him and although he didn't seem to have an interest in the men that had ambushed our space and even killed the Luna, Mira; I dared not object. To him, guards are nothing but tools and I have learnt to guard that to mind which is why I'm the oldest of his servants at the palace. I walked through the hallway, ignoring the squeals of the palace maids that were busy with one or two things, some who dusted the windows as the Alpha can point at a spotless space and still find dirt. Some of them never even tried to leave those spots until I instructed them to. But today that the Alpha seemed to be in a bad mood, I dared not dismiss them else! Trouble. Her highness, Ma'am Selene. Her name clicked to my mind once a palace maid called my name. Kai. I didn't look back, it was normal. It happened everyday, if not her, others would but no one dared to court a partner in the pal
