SAVE ME

For the past one month, the Angel’s realm had not been so peaceful without Alexa.

Warren, Eren, Anglassia and Mikasa would come around to see the girls and check of there was any progress on Alexa’s return.

“I’ve been telling you guys for the past one month now. I’m sure she’s fine”Hermenes said rocking himself in a hammock in their balcony. “I gave lord Damien a good talking”

“And don’t you think it’s unlike Alexa to call us not even once!?” Celine asked loosing her cool.

She keeps on having this bad feeling about Alexa’s disappearance because she knows that Valdir an queen Gezelle won’t just sit back and do nothing.

Hermenes shrugged. “They are probably in a place with no network connection”

“You seem really relaxed about her gone” Warren said making his way angrily towards Hermenes but he was stopped by Josty.

Hermenes sat up straight from the hammock as he pulled off his shades and headed towards Warren. “And you seem interested in Alexa now. Tell me, weren’t you the one who never showed up while she was here?”

“That’s because you told me to stay out”

“For one day. I told you to stay out for one day”

“That’s enough, both of you!” Anglassia shouted stepping in between them. “You can fight AFTER we find Alexa”.

“The throne has been left empty for far too long” Karina whimpered in fear. “Maybe something really did happen to lord Damien”

And that was the rumor on everyone’s lips.

From the Angel’s realm to the Witches’ realm, to the dragon, to the mermaids, to the elves, to the  werewolves till it got to king Valdir’s ears in the demon’s realm.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

He threw his fist against the standing mirror in his chambers.

“Those silly rumors”

Marianna who stepped in with a glass of tea in her hand shrieked as she saw her husband’s hands bleeding.

She rushed towards Valdir as she placed her hands over his. “You are bleeding!”

Valdir looked at Marianna. The past few months Damien hadn’t been home, she hadn’t been herself.

She’d often cried herself to sleep or not sleep a wink at all.

Anytime the door to the realm or their chambers opened, she always thought it was Damien.

And Valdir understood just how she felt.

They had once lost a son and now it was like they’d lost another.

That’s why he’d used his best guards and scout men to locate Damien by all means.

Just for his wife and now after finally bringing light to her eyes that he would be coming home in three days, these people were spreading rumours about Damien being dead since the throne has been empty for too long.

“Why are you hurting yourself, Valdir!”Marianna shouted in tears as she bandaged Valdir’s hands trying to stop his bleeding.

Valdir brushed his hands against her cheeks. “Their words are hurting you”

Marianna held Valdir’s hands as she shook her head. “No. I believe you, Valdir. You told me that our son would be coming back home in three days time and I believe you so please.. please stop hurting yourself”

Valdir took his wife in his arms as he embraced her.

Marianna hugged him back as she sobbed softly in his arms.

Meanwhile in the desolated Islay, Damien couldn’t shake off this feeling of uncertainty from his mind.

Why did his father suddenly want him home? Was it truly because of his mother? And why did his father give them their blessings so easily?

Nothing really made sense.

Alexa who was busy fetching roasting meat by the fire, looked back at Damien who was lost in thoughts.

She stood up as she sat beside him. “What’s on your mind?”

“Huh? It’s nothing”

Alexa smiled. “You think I’ll just let it go like that?”

Damien laughed. He knew she wouldn’t. She was his stubborn girl afterall.

“I don’t know if we should go home”

“Me too. I mean, who gets married in three days?”

Damien’s eyes widened in shock. “That’s not the reason”

“Well that’s my reason. Should we just live here forever and NOT finally get your father’s blessings?”

Damien smirked. He knew what she was doing and he’ll be damned if he fell into her trap.

“Besides” Alexa continued” I’m sure you’ve missed your mother alot. Just like I’ve missed my family too”

Damien’s smiled slowly faded off. This past month, he’d been so happy with Alexa that he hadn’t considered the fact that she must have been missing her family.

He took her hand in his. “I’m sorry. I haven’t really been considerate, have I? ”

Alexa shook her head hurriedly. “I was the one who agreed to come with you, remember? But then you still have your duties to fulfill as a son and the king of this land”

“Then promise me one thing, Alexa”

“What’s that?”

“Give me one more duty to fulfill”

Alexa furrowed her brows in confusion. “I don’t underst-”

“The duty of a husband” Damien slowly brushed back her hair from her face. “I know you were taken aback when I said it to father but it wasn’t something I said in the spur of the moment”

“I don’t know if things are moving too fast or too slow but I do know one thing. This is the first time I’ve ever felt this way for anyone and I want you to always be mine.”

“I want to sleep and wake up with you by my side every morning. I want us to eat side by side eachother while talking about random things too”

Damien wiped off the tears that trickled down her cheeks. “You might be afraid of taking my hands because if you do so, you will be carrying a huge responsibility by becoming the queen of this land but I’ll have you know something, Alexa; Every king needs a queen”

Alexa brushed off the tears that rolled down Damien’s cheeks. “You are crying too”

“Do you want to know how I feel right now?”

Alexa smiled “How do you feel?”

“I feel like I’ve fallen deeply in love with you and now only the goddess can save me”

Alexa laughed as Damien looked up at the sky in smiles. “Goddess, save me”
