Free Web NovelChapter 80: Chapter 80 I’m Back
Unknown POV
I jumped on when the lousy goddesses transported the mangy crew out of the underworld, and I made sure to be standing in the shadows, but close enough to get the benefit of their spell. They thought themselves to be flawless, but I knew better. They were more clueless than anything.
As we arrived in the upper realm, I cloaked myself in an invisibility spell, so no one saw me sneak out of there. I didn’t need to be a witness for the mushy reunion that was bound to happen. I didn’t agree with Keres or Sylla per se, but I did see a point in their perspectives. They were both really power hungry, something I definitely could see the appeal of too. But they both lacked patience and savageness in the power obtaining department.
When I sneaked out of the room, someone came running in my direction from down the hall. I would recognize him anywhere. My ex mate. The reason they banned me from the upper realm, and to stay in the underworld for eternity. Well, hah! Because that didn’t exactly go well.
I roll my eyes at their stupidity. They will never be rid of me. HE will never be rid of me! When I had gotten what I came for, I rejected his sorry, stupid and hopeless arse. He was so lost. A lost lovey little puppy. He didn’t even accept my rejection.
What was he doing here?
I stayed in the doorway. When he entered the room, I just exited a gasp sounded. This was very interesting indeed. Maybe he felt me? Smelt me? Hm. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Sticking my head in there, I saw him standing very still. His back was to me, but I felt the way his body stiffen. The way he took a deep breath. Then he growled. He did sense me then. I smiled to myself. Maybe I should go another round with him as my play thing? It wouldn’t hurt, and I knew from experience he was well endowed. The smile on my lips turned to a smirk. Yes, I should definitely go another round with him.
I couldn’t see what or who he was looking at, but the growl surprised me. Why would he be growling? He couldn’t see me yet. Amid debating with myself whether to lose the invisibility, he moved. The movement was so quick I almost missed it, and then he said it. The words that should always only be mine! Mate. What the actual fuck! They gave him another mate? NO WAY! He was mine, and MINE ALONE!
The smirk on my lips turned to a scowl. There, in his arms, stood none other than my nemesis! Jasmin. Why?! Of all the fucking creatures in realms would they choose her? Oh, hell no. I would not stand for this! These arrogant goddesses were going to pay for this.
Then I watched as her useless brother snatched her back from him, putting her behind his back. He was protecting her? Oh, the joy. Finally, that worthless goody-too-shoes brother of hers was to any use! I kept watching as her so-called mate accused her of wanting to harm an innocent. I looked closely at the woman he was so protective of, and I almost howled in joy. Adriana! They mated her to another of those fleabags. Hallelujah!
She looked like herself, but something was off about her. The girl I knew was timid, quiet, and gullible. It had been way too easy to manipulate her back then, but also very fun to watch her try to keep me as her friend at all costs. She had been an excellent practice for later on. My only regret was that I didn’t use her to get closer to Jax back then. He wouldn’t have been able to turn away from her. Yes, she was that pathetic. Not that I would ever have said that to her face. Or actually I said that to her face. Many times.
I get a little lost in my fond memories of the past, and zone out for a bit. But a slap to someone brings be back to reality. That bitch of a princess just hit Jasmin’s mate across the face.
Oh, that’s going to sting. I smile to myself. The princess will be in big trouble now. But as I look on, she does nothing. That cunt doesn’t even defend her so-called mate. I was so pissed off, and I need to cool down my head before doing something drastic.
I take a few deep breaths, trying to calm my inner battle. Why am I so protective of someone I rejected? He is nothing to me. Maybe it’s because of seeing him being mated to her. UGH! I hate her with a passion.
I need to get them apart so I can persuade him to give me another chance. I have not yet felt him accept my rejection, so time is on my side. Yes! All I need is to be patient.
I follow the events. Surprised when the little icky Queen actually fights of the curse and poison from the blade. It was a hells blade. Made by the dark goddess herself, poisoned with a mixture of belladonna for her magic and silver/wolfsbane for her wolf. The curse was one of the most powerful out there. One even the goddesses will have difficulty fighting off. I am sure they recognized it and Keres will be in big trouble. Well, bigger trouble. They have forbidden it for centuries.
The eques nigris armis amictus curse. Translated, it means the black night curse, and it will spread black veins all around your body, until grabbing your heart and squeeze the life out of you. Taking all the light in your aura and turn it black. Without your light, you can’t live.
Everyone cleared out of the room to give the couple some space. I wanted to vomit at their luck. BAH! She deserved to die! Maybe I should try to reach out to Sylla. She is definitely a favorite of Keres’s at the moment, so perhaps she and I would find some common ground? All I wanted was Jax and the entire underworld to lie at my feet, worshipping me as their beloved queen, and for Jasmin to be cast into one of the punishment pits for eternity. She wanted the upper realm, and their queen. We could work together on each of our visions.
