"Theodore, do you know that she gave birth to a girl. What are you going to do about?" mocked an old man who sat comfortably on his throne. He elegantly caressed his long white beard that dangled on his black cloak.
The man called Theodore turned to face the old man on the throne. He cast him a hateful glare but the old man didn't seem to be bothered by it.
"Theo, don't tell me that you're planning to go back and claim your lover?" taunted the old man while leaning on his arm.
Banging the chair he sat on, Theo bellowed, "Shut it! Just do what you want, as long as you don't touch my blood."
With that said, Theo stood to leave the throne hall. On his way out, he stood and faced the old man, his gaze cold and solemn, he repeated, "Don't touch her. Don't play dumb."
"..."
The old man was left speechless. His son dared to threaten him. However, he wouldn't be that cruel to his grandchild.
Theodore Rakis, a cold handsome fire wizard was the eldest of the three sons of Lord Rakis Savile. Admired by many in the fire realm and at the same time envied hence he had lots of enemies because of his strong background. Theodore was never on good terms with his father, however, fewer people knew it.
At the age of 16, Theodore descended from the fire realm of heaven to earth. His mission was to show his father that he was worthy of the throne. However, when he reached earth, he was distracted by a werewolf female named Lexi Gamora. By the time he ascended back to heaven, he had impregnated her. Despite their affair being brief, he had fallen head over heels in love with her.
When he told his father about her, he recalled vividly the anger and hatred in his eyes. He slapped him urging him to wake up. How could an immortal in the heavens have an indecent affair with a lowly earth mortal? he reprimanded in anger.
Theodore hastily fled the realm to the unknown lands. He disappeared for several years, meanwhile, Lexi married a man of her kind but she couldn't reveal her pregnancy and this secret was only known by her mother. Lexi was so in love with Theodore that she wanted to break her engagement with her destined mate, Raphael Enzo. She married him because she had no choice as it looked like Theodore wouldn't come back for her as they had promised.
Indeed, promises were made to be broken. By the time Theodore gathered his thoughts to go against his father's reasoning, it was already too late. Lexi was already engaged and pregnant. He had been angry at himself for being weak. He couldn't even save or protect his loved ones. His two brothers ridiculed him for going against their father. Theodore was banned from taking over the throne because of his affair. This made his hate for his father increase.
His father, Lord Rakis rejected his affair because of the enmity between heaven immortals and mortals. The mortals hated heaven immortals because of their pride and arrogance and the immortals hated the mortals because of their low nature. They were thought to be cursed and unfortunate.
On the first full moon, Tyra was born and that's when Theodore realised Lexi had carried his blood in her womb all along. He felt his heart clench tightly as he discovered how wrong he was to doubt her.
Night in the forest, two silhouettes stood facing each other. Both were masked properly so none would notice their identities. A closer look at them and one would realise they were lovers. Their expressions clasped a mound of various emotions. Regret, longing, love and affection.
"Lexi, I'm truly sorry and I know you wouldn't forgive me but I didn't mean to abandon you," came the male voice. He placed an arm on her shoulder as he stared into her eyes.
The female called Lexi could only look at him but she felt her heart clench regretfully. Her eyes spoke what her heart said. The man seeing the change in her eyes pulled her for a gentle kiss and hugged her tightly as though he wanted to melt her into him.
Mixed emotions clouded her eyes as she reluctantly broke the embrace. She felt both insecure and secure in his embrace. After breaking the embrace she looked at his painful expression.
Her heart clenched further, the once colourful eyes possessed a dull sheen masked with coldness. Lexi placed her arm on his cheek, gently caressing it with longing eyes. How she missed his face and expressions.
"I named her Tyra. She has your eyes when she gets angry Theo, they turn red," whispered Lexi.
"I'm scared they might kill, I don't know what to do anymore."
"Don't worry Lexi, I'm here," he assured.
Suddenly, a creaking sound of a broken branch jolted them to awareness. They felt someone coming, Theodore immediately vanished. He knew that the female was safe as long as she was still in the woods. Besides, he would come out to protect her.
"Yura! What are you doing late at night in the wood?" asked a male voice? Lexi panicked as she feared their conversations would be exposed.
Turning to face the man, she replied, "I felt grumpy so I had to come for a walk. Also mum is sick I have to get some herbs for her."
"Oh! why didn't you seek for my company?"
"You seemed too busy with your long time friends so I didn't -"
She was interrupted when she suddenly pulled into an embrace. She was still shocked at the sudden turn of the events.
Tightening the grip around her waist possessively, the male said, "Don't ever say I'm too busy. For you, I can do anything. You're my mate."
"Raphael are you ok?" she gently patted his back.
"How can I be ok? Do you know how worried I was when I searched for you and couldn't find you?" he said to her with affectionate and loving eyes.
[NOTE: Yura is Lexi. Yura was a nickname she was given by her mother when she was young.]
