SAVE ME

That night as Damien strode into his chambers, the clouds rumbled and the thunders roared.

Mariana, Damien’s mother who had been worried about his whereabouts was informed of his arrival and she fled out of her room to his chambers.

Upon seeing him, Mariana threw her arms around him and hugged him but she felt a sharp burn and backed away from him.

She looked up at Damien in surprise”Son, what’s wrong?”

Damien, who had been backing his mother turned to face her and Mariana’s eyes widened in shock as she saw tears in his eyes.

“She called me a monster, mother”Damien said slowly in the brink of tears”I can take being called a monster from anybody… but not from her”

Mariana approached her son slowly”It’s okay. Calm down, son. Let’s talk about it”

“You rascal”a strong voice said behind Mariana.

Mariana turned around in shock to see Valdir, her husband behind her.

“Honey..”

Valdir approached Damien”You good for nothing weakling. How dare you cry because of a girl!!”

Valdir raised up his hand to hit Damien but Damien caught his hand.

“Not today, father. I’m not in the mood!” Damien growled.

“You rascal, you dare to hold my hand? Let go this instant!”

Damien threw Valdir’s hand away pushing him backwards.

Damien backed his parents”I would like to be left alone, please”

Mariana grabbed her husband”Let’s go, honey”

Valdir freed himself from Mariana’s grasp and walked away as she followed suite.

“My lord-”

“Leave me too, Rosco”Damien commanded as Rosco bowed his head and walked away.

While alone in his chambers, Damien felt his blood boil as he started breaking everything in his room.

His mind wandered off to that night when Alexa had told him that she wasn’t scared of him”You told me that I’m not a monster. YOU TOLD ME!!!”

Damien roared as he kept on breaking more items and bringing them to the ground.

His chambers door was flung opened.

“I SAID YOU ALL SHOULD LEAVE ME ALON-!”Damien stopped abruptly as he saw her.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She was claded in a very long black gown as her brown hair was packed high up in a bun.

Her black heels clinked the floor slowly as she used her right hand to hold a hand fan.

She stopped infront of Damien”So I leave you alone for a week and you turn into a complete mess?”

Damien rose up from the ground.

She was back. His supposed soon- to-be wife that his father had arranged for him to marry-Gezelle Aria.

“When did you come back?”Damien asked.

Gezelle smiled”So you missed me?”

Damien smirked”As if. I didn’t even notice your absence”

Gezelle nodded her head”So I guess it’s true what they say. You did fall for a lowly angel”

Damien clenched his fist”Don’t talk about her like that!”

Gezelle shrugged nonchalantly “But what to do? I’m back and now things are going to go back to how they were.” Gezelle slowly whispered into Damien’s ears”You are mine and only mine”

She backed away from him as she smiled”So when are we getting married, honey?”

In the dragon realm, Eren and Mikasa sighed in relief as Warren climbed back into the room.

“Where did you go that took so long? Jerrire sent Jaden to check up on you”Eren cried.

“I’m sorry, guys and thank you”Warren said as he sank low on his bed.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”Mikasa asked

Warren stared up at the ceiling as he started to laugh slowly.

Eren and Mikasa exchanged glances”Hey, you are scaring us”

“She believed him over me . She hadn’t known him for up to 2 weeks but yet she took his side over mine”Warren turned around to face the other side of the bed”Turn off the lights when you are leaving, I’m tired”

Eren and Mikasa turned off the light and left his room.

“Do you think he’ll be okay?”Eren asked.

“Of course not”

“What can we do?”

Anglassia, who was passing by randomly saw the two of them standing Infront of Warren’s door and approached them.

“What are you two doing here?”She asked

“We have every right to be here but what are YOU doing here?”Eren asked.

Anglassia shook her head”Move aside. I want to see Warren”

Mikasa stopped her”He’s not in the mood and he’s asleep right now”

Anglassia scoffed”You two are lying. He isn’t in, is he?”

Eren pushed Anglassia back”I get that you are ‘obsessed’ with him but he is really not in the mood and just wants to be left alone. Know when not to cross the line and give some people space”Eren turned to face Mikasa”Let’s go”

Mikasa and Eren walked away leaving a flustered Anglassia to stand infront of Warren’s room door.

“Hey, Don’t you think you were a bit harsh on her?”Mikasa asked Eren.

“I don’t care. Warren seemed to be going through alot and I’m not going to let anyone disturb him. Not even if it was Jerrie, himself”

Jerrire had appeared in his front as soon as those words had left his mouth.

Eren bypassed Jerrie but Jerrie grabbed his hand stopping him.

Eren looked down at his hand and then at Jerrie. He placed his hands over his”Keep your sister and your hand to yourself because no one seems to want any”

He threw Jerrie’s hand off his and proceeded his walk. Mikasa bowed at Jerrie before leaving likewise.

Jaden came to the side of Jerrie.

“Did you confirm if he was still in his room?”Jerrie asked.

“Yes, my lord. He’s asleep now”

“Okay, let’s go”

Back in the Angel’s realm, a flustered Karina didn’t know how to respond to Alexa.

“A… Alexa”

“You know, you are my family Karina. I think of everyone in this realm as my family so I can tell you a thing or two about everyone here” Alexa sniffled her nose”You are a really bad liar, Karina. So when you don’t want to lie, you take lots of water.”

Karina whimpered”A… Alexa-”

“Just tell me something. Since when did the love potion stop working?”

Karina looked down at her hands and back at Alexa”It never worked to begin with”

Alexa felt a thud in her chest”What did you say?”

“We found out when we got back to the festival that nothing of that sort works on Lord Damien”

Alexa clenched her fist in anger”Why didn’t you tell me?”

“We wanted to but he threatened us not to.” Karina rushed to hold Alexa’s hand”I’m so sorry, Alexa, please forgiv-”

Alexa removed her hand from Karina’s”You all fooled me and what? Forgive you? Do you think it’s that easy!!!?”

Karina sobbed softly”I know it’s not easy but-”

Alexa scoffed”Do you know what his plan was all along? To use me and then break me just to punish me”Alexa rummaged her hands through her hair”Tell me another thing. This morning, where was he and Celine heading too?”

Karina shook her head refusing to speak up but Alexa shook her “Tell me!”

“He was going to get another love potion”

“For?”

“For Josty. He’d figured that Josty had snapped and wanted to put her back on the spell so that he could continue to spend time with you”Karina said avoiding Alexa’s eyes.

Alexa laughed slowly as her tears rolled down firmly”So he wanted to continue playing me”

Alexa walked out of the coldroom and went to her bedroom.

She swears it. She was going to have her revenge.
