All Chapters of The Heiress Torn Between Worlds : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ellia POV I knew I shouldn’t be doing this… It was wrong. Erevos was evil by circumstance or not…and I was going directly against Cassien’s words. But the curiosity to know the answers..the push from my wolf as well, it was the overwhelming factor. I was moving through the darkness now, the cold night air biting at my skin.  The courtyard was fairly empty and it was easy to reach the gates. With careful and gentle hands, I picked the lock of the small entrance and slipped through it. I am out now.. My eyes moved around looking for– “You came."His voice drifted from the darkness.I turned to the direction at once just as Erevos stepped from between the trees.This time, he didn’t look like the charming man I saw at the company&h

Cassien's POV The walk back to the palace was filled with tension. No one was willing to speak. It wasn't just the warriors either. Reis kept his mouth shut as well, though Ellia was the most silent of all. The only sounds were the crunch of our boots on the gravel and the occasional wolf howling in the distance beyond the mountains. I walked a few paces ahead, my jaw clenched tight. I wasn't angry, per say. Not entirely anyway. I was scared. Erevos had looked at her like she was something he hadn't seen in centuries. Not something he hadn't seen before, but something he had searched for with his entire existence. That, in fact, scared me more than if he had tried to end her life with his bare hands. A man who wanted someone alive could be just as dangerous, if not more so, than the one who wanted them dead.&n

Ellias point of view The room was really quiet after Cassien said that name.Selene.I did not know why it bothered me so much. Maybe it was because I knew she really cared about him. Maybe it was because she was not a person.Or maybe it was because deep down I could not shake off the feeling that if I had never met him none of this would have happened.Cassien rubbed his nose. Then sat down on the edge of the bed. "I will deal with it, " he said.I looked at him."How are you going to do that?""I will fight, " he said.It sounded simple when he said it like that."You make it sound easy, " I said."It is, " he said. I knew it was not that simple."No it is not, " I said.He looked up at me."The Duel of Bloods is not a normal fight " he said. "I know that, " I said. "If you lose..." he s

Ellia POV The silence in which I had left my question hung between us. Even the wind seemed to pause. Erevos was staring at the distant mountains. His crimson eyes are unreadable. Then... "I killed her.""What?""I killed Lilith." "No..." I whispered"You loved her.""I did.""Then why?" His jaw tightened "For centuries, history has painted me as a monster, who slew the woman he loved" He sounded bitter "...history is correct in one regard...""I became a monster...""But it fails to recognize the reason why" Something in my chest screamed at me to walk away… But instead, I stayed. Erevos sat himself down on a fallen log at the stream.

Ellia POV The voice trailed away… but the feeling in my head did not fade.It was as if the heavens themselves bore down upon the forest. My breath caught in my throat and all my instincts urged me to my knees, even my inner wolf.Even the swirling black mass above us had claimed the moonlight. All around me the masked warriors fell to one knee. Their heads bowed in something akin to reverence. One of them muttered something as the sky churned. "...The Oracle has awakened." Oracle? My gaze snapped to Erevos. He had not lowered himself like the others.A cold mask of his own had replaced the amusement in his blood-red eyes. "....Erevos..." "What is that?" His gaze remained locked on the swirling mass above us as he replied."...Something that should not have awakened."Something surged from the dar
