Luke remained still for a few seconds, trying to understand the strange turn of events.His eyes widened in shock. Painso blinding, so venomous exploded in his shoulder. He blinked rapidly, trying to figure out what just happened.The driver stepped out of the vehicle and aimed his gun at Luke’s head.“I missed the first time and hit your shoulder. Trust me, if you continue to test my patience, I will not miss the second time.” He snarled.Luke had expected to feel unbearable pain from the gunshot and drop to the ground in defeat but instead, after a few seconds, the painful explosion in his shoulder reduced to a dull throbbing sensation.He blinked in confusion, unable to understand what the hell was going on. Deep down, he felt a strange, stirring in his bones. It was almost like fire was bubbling at the pits of his stomach, garnering momentum to explode straight out of his guts.He touched a finger to his shoulder, expecting it to be stained with blood. However, he was shocked when

DISCLAIMER: UNEDITED CHAPTER.***It’s been three days and Luke was practically living on edge. The past three days has been extremely hectic for him. The elders had promised they were going to be there from time to time to lead him through this dangerous path of discovering his powers but throughout all the drama that went down, none of them was anywhere to be seen.His powers grew everyday and he had absolutely no idea on how he was supposed to control it. These days, he didn’t know if he’d somehow develop the strength to lift an entire car or be able to read people’s minds. It was all too strange to him. It was becoming increasingly difficult yo keep it under control and keep it hidden, and the elders had already warned him that no one was supposed to find out about his powers. Not a single soul.He paced his officers for hours to work off restless energy and work up the zeal to tackle the papers on his desk. Finally, just as he was about to settle down and finally get some work

Hello, everyone.I sincerely apologize for the repeated chapters. It was as a result of a network glitch. They’ve all been corrected and the corrections will take effect once my editor returns from the spring break.I apologize for the inconvenience.***Luke was stunned. He stared at Mason in awe, an odd chill zinging through his blood.“So you’re saying… you’re saying that you knew this and you still let me touch it?”Mason clenched his jaw and took a step back.“I know you’re the chosen one. I knew nothing would’ve happened to you.”“The hell you did! The hell you fucking did! You didn’t know shit. You were ready to watch me fry to death.”“That’s not true, Luke, and you know it.”Luke’s entire mind was clouded with anger and a horrible sense of betrayal. He turned away from Mason and paced around the room, trying to bring his temper under control.“You need to calm down, man. You’re beginning to burn.”Luke whirled in his direction and growled.“Don’t you dare…”He was about to say

“I know they’re up to something.” Luke ranted to Mason as he paced the room. “It’s a feeling in my guts that has refused to go away.”Mason stared thoughtfully into space for a few moments. He’d miraculously reappeared the very moment the Colton brothers walked out of the office. Now, he sat cross legged on the visitor’s chair and curled his too-long hair around one finger, immersed deep in thought.“Did your amulet vibrate?” He asked suddenly.Luke nodded.“Yes it did. Why do you ask?”“Your amulet vibrating might mean one of two things: a danger warning sign or a call from the elders. It’s obvious that you haven’t been teleported to the council. That means it was a warning. That deal was a trap. Did you sign it?”“I did.” Luke deadpanned.Mason was about to scream but he quickly added; “with a fake signature. I’m not that stupid.”Mason visibly breathed a sigh of relief.“Good. Have you cross checked the documents for errors or fraud? Maybe that’s where the problem lies.”Luke paced

“Oh, but they look so good together.” Fiona crooned as she led him to their box. “I’ve honestly never seen a couple fit each other so perfectly.”Luke pressed his fingers against his eyes and breathed in deeply. “I know what you’re doing, Fiona. There’s really no point of rubbing it in my face.” He growled.She turned around and looked at him innocently.“I’m not doing anything. I’m only stating facts.”Thankfully, he was saved from replying when they finally made it to their box.“Look, I chose a box directly beside Hillary’s.” She said excitedly. “Isn’t that great?”The sight of Nina with another man had completely washed away the excitement that had pumped through his blood earlier at the thought of seeing Hillary. Luke couldn’t even force himself to pretend to be excited anymore.“That’s great.” He said dully.The opera was yet to start. While Fiona mixed and chatted with everyone who walked past their private box, Luke sank into the seat and hoped the darkness covered the burning
