The Cursed Human

BLOODY HELL!

Ayannah! I knew that name very well. Victoria told me about how she was the one who killed Endor, the first ever born hybrid.

“S-she killed Endor, right?” I looked up at my father into his heartwarming gaze. Did Lucifer knew? Of course! He knew.

“How do y-well nevermind! And yes, she was the one but Eleonar has nothing to do with it. Infact, she never knew her about her mother’s motives.” It made sense. Eleonar was terrified of her mother. Probably that’s why she eloped…?

“Enough of witches, tell me, what parts of your beautiful life did I missed?” There was curiosity dancing in his emerald eyes.

“Almost everything..” He looked remorsefully at me. I knew he missed several years of my life. He missed watching me grew up. He missed everything.

“I’m…. sorry, my child.” His voice was heavy and hoarse with weight of guilt. It was not his fault. It never was.

“But now you can watch me grow old,” I grinned up at him which seemed to make him smile too. But I was not sure of my words, I didn’t knew if Lucifer would let me live here. His abrupt protective behavior was still giving me thoughts that I didn’t wanted to register.

A figure hovered behind my father as I tilted my head to take a good look at person. The messy brown hairs and matching hazel eyes send an wave of familiarity through my mind.

A hand reached and plastered on my father’s shoulder as he turned to look at intruder. A huge smile decorated his face as he removed his arms around my waist and hugged the man.

My eyes refused to believe as I looked at them. This was not the state I had seen him first time. He was bloodied and looked week but now his muscles protruding out of his grey silk shirt was making him look more manly and muscular.

“Cassian!” My father grinned at him as I looked nervously at him. Same feeling of anxiousness took over me when I first met my parents. And when his eyes traveled to me, I wanted nothing more than to swallowed by floor.

Glint of shock and awe dance in his eyes before he looked at our father.

“May I?” He extended his hand as I looked startled and strangely at him. Without further due, ignoring hammering of my heart in my ribcage, I placed my hand in his as my father nodded at us before leaving us, smiling.

He slowly circled his arm around my waist before placing my other on his shoulder as we started swaying with beats. I was feeling the turmoil of emotions inside me. A refreshing feeling developed inside me as we danced.

“How are you?” After what felt like hours, he finally said something. Without glancing at him, I mumbled.

“I’m good….. how are you?” He wasn’t here when we arrived which made me wonder where was he?

“Happy,” Unknowingly I looked up at him before a grin managed to tripped over his face.

I didn’t thought I had ever smiled this much when I abruptly circled my arms around his torso before pulling him in a tight, warm hug.

“I missed you.” He whispered in my hairs, hugging me back. I never felt so safe and secure. The brotherly vibes radiating off him gave me happiness and security I craved since my life turned upside down.

“Let go of her!” I jumped startled as a thundering growl erupted behind me. Cassian’s arms loosened as he looked behind me with tinge of anonymous annoyance in his eyes.

“She’s my sister,” Cassian muttered calmly. No matter how much Cassian was annoyed but he knew talking rudely to Lucifer would end him up with Lucifer’s hand around his neck.

A vein in Lucifer’s jaw twitched as his hands clenched in fists along with darkening of his eyes.

“I got this,” I mumbled before pecking Cassian on his cheek before smiling aup at him and turned towards Lucifer. My actions seemed to fuel his anger.

He roughly placed his arm around me and pulled me towards him making me hit his rock hard chest. A groan left my lips as I tilted my head to look at him. His jaw was still clenched and his devilish eyes were piercing through my soul making me want to hide away.

His tall and muscular statue was making it hard for me to look up at him. The heels I was wearing were doing no good.

“We’re going back,” he said. I immediately looked up at him with narrowed eyes not liking his suggestion.

“No!” I almost yelled. I was not ready to go back, not when I had my family back. Did he just let me had happiness of few minutes only to snatch it later?

“What?” He said not because he didn’t hear me. It was because he was giving me chance to change what I had just said.

Stubbornness flowed in my veins like blood and I replied back almost regretting.

“I’m not going back!” I scoffed oblivious of fragments of anger dancing in his blue irises. His grip tightened on my waist and I gasp for air as his claws pierced my skin. By now I was sure, blood must be oozing out.

“The whole point of bringing your here was to keep to safe, but guess what you’re a one little malefactor, who attracts trouble anywhere she goes!” He nearly growled near my face.

“How am I the one to attract trouble when there was someone who wanted me dead,” I wanted to yell but I didn’t cause I knew how would me yelling at him would end up.

The man or vampire who nearly killed me in the garden was never my intention. I never called him to come and kill me.

He scoffed before crushing me in his arms. I yelped as I clutched onto his biceps, digging my nails into his flesh.

“Wearing this filthy dress and swaying your ass in front of these hungry wolves! What you think you were doing, huh?!” He digged his claws deeper and I so badly wanted to scream. The tears stung my eyes as need to let them fall overwhelmed me.

“How’s it my fault?” I cried out and this seemed to do the charm as he loosened his hold but didn’t let go of me.

“I can fucking sense their good for nothing eyes on you!” He turned me around abruptly as my back hit his chest making me gasp. He grabbed my neck from behind before tilt it towards left.

“See! That piece of shit has been looking at you since you stepped inside this ball room. I hate it when they look at you…. so fucking much” he whispered angrily in my ear and I looked at the man. His eyes widened as they met mine before I felt his eyes looking past my shoulder and he literally shook like a leaf before turning around.

I gasped as Lucifer again turned me around making my chest meet his hard one. I shouldn’t had dared to looked up at him when I felt him leaning in.

“Tell me, do you enjoy men oogling at your body, huh? Tell me, do you enjoy their attention?!” He snarled and I saw glint of emotion that I was not sure if he possessed.

“Why are being like this? Like….” I gulped and he gripped my waist harshly making me lean on him.

“Like you’re…. jealous..?” He wouldn’t be jealous. Why would he be? I was just a source of entertainment for him, wasn’t I?

I looked in astonishment as humorless laugh escape this lips and he leaned in my face, his eyes flickering red.

“I am not jealous, I’m territorial.”

“W-what?”

“Jealous is when you want something that’s not yours. Territorial is protecting what’s already yours. And you are mine!”

His cold voice sends shiver down my spine. I was not scared of his hold around me, or his threats but I was afraid of the emotion peeking through his eyes.

“I-I’m not you-”

“Don’t even fucking complete it!” A growl erupted within his chest.

“I’ll carve my name into your back if that’s what I have to do to let you know you’re mine,” I gulped down the fear. No! This was not how it should had been. He was saying these words so easily yet dominantly and I was quivering from inside.

“Y-you are hurting me,” I whimpered implying his hard grip on my waist. He immediately looked at me and let go of me, completely leaving me.

“Stay away from men and take it as polite warning from my side, cause there won’t be next time” my eyes closed when I felt his hot breathing near my ear.

****

The whole evening went in blur with me worrying about Lucifer’s words. I was not his to claim, I never was but why did his words made me so scared and fretful. I didn’t knew where did he vanished after threatening me and I didn’t wanted to knew either.

He was a difficult man with anger issues and his anger was getting on my nerves.

I was tired only by looking at people dancing and drinking. One thing I noticed about werewolves was that they had high tolerance to alcohol. Need to get fresh air overwhelmed me several times but I didn’t move from my place, I knew better. Angelina awas talking to Cassian as she moved her hands in air telling him about something and Cassian was looking at her with a smile on his lips. If she wouldn’t be married, I might had mistook them for a couple.

My father was in line of vision talking to man probably in his late 40s.

Kyleigh’s dress

?

“How’s Zhoutis?” I swiftly turned around and almost fell when a hand supported me. I slowly relaxed when she let go of my arm while chuckling.

“Clumsy, are we?” She raised her curious brow and I blushed away. She came closer as she stood by my side admiring the view in front of her.

“Beautiful..” I muttered.

We both stayed there in comfortable silence between us as I contemplated with my thoughts.

“When Perseus first brought me here, I was scared. I didn’t knew how would I ever balance the weight of nature” I didn’t understand her words. They were little hard to process.

I knew my father forced her to com with him but after that I didn’t knew a penny.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“You’re a witch-”

“And Perseus still married me? This is what you wanna ask, right?”

“.. yes..”

She sighed and turned towards me before ticking a lose strand of hair behind my ear as she looked deeply into my eyes.

“I’m not a born witch, but I can still use magic, you wanna know how?… I was barren, I couldn’t concive a child..” The look of hurt and disdain in her eyes made me stop her from telling whatever she was going to say. My heart clenched looking at her watery eyes.

“You don-”

“I need to tell you everything, Safina.” A small smile crepted on her lips before she continued.

“A women, Celine was her name, gave me a leaf, which I assumed was some medicine, and I took it. Back then I didn’t knew it was leaf of sacred plant, Amophila, which nowadays is rare to found…. The leaf changed my life, Safina.”

I kept looking at her because I didn’t knew what to say. I was not shocked, I knew about leaf but I didn’t knew what was it’s effects.

“Amophila is rare plant blessed with magical powers. It was believed that the great goddess of witches planted it so that her bloodline of witches never extinct.”

Now I get it.

“So, this made me a partial witch. Born witches and partial witches aren’t same, So that is the reason I and your aunt Aphrodite is married to worst enemies of witches. Born witches are far more powerful than us and with a sway of their hands they can destroy several villages but partial witches having only one or two specific powers, like mine is that I can control weather with my emotions.” Shocked? Nah? I wasn’t. I had heard worse.

“That makes sense.” I whispered before smiling up at her.

Her eyes looked at me and dshe smiled back and raised her hands and circled them around her neck before she opened her pendant.

“Wha-”

“Perseus gave me this when I was going through hard time. This pendant has been passing through generations in Perseus’s family and now you’re here, I think you deserves it. May I?”

I looked dumfounded at her and slowly turned around. When her hands made contact with my neck, I shivered as cold metal of pendant pressed against my neck. It was beautiful and antique with green stone in centre surrounded by white petals.

“It’s beautiful..” I breathed out teaching the design.

She smiled and caressed my cheek.

“Now it is,”

I engulfed he run my arms as tear slipped through my eyes.

I missed her.
