Losing the soul pearl on Ashedore’s 1000th anniversary was not as painful as the killing of his mother, the queen, in cold blood. Filled with rage, Zale must set out of the four seas on a journey to retrieve the soul pearl and enact his revenge. What he wasn’t expecting was the beguiling turn of events that the human world would bring. Pearl, a lively young maiden in Noterra, with hidden powers is ostracized by her peers and lives a calm life with her parents. She comes across a handsome stranger in need of direction and as their paths continue to cross, she falls in love with him. However, she soon finds out that not all glitter brings good tidings. Along with his coming, her life is thrown into a chaotic and painful adventure, one more than she could ever imagine. Losing all she has ever loved, Pearl sticks to Zale and joins him on his mission. In the bid to get back the soul pearl, Zale and Pearl’s fate are entangled with love blooming and transcending amidst the clash of swords, betrayal, conspiracies and secrets. Left with a heritage that would change her fate, Zale’s painful revenge and a choice that endangers her very life, what decisions would Pearl make and what cruel fate awaits her for the choices made? ***Excerpt*** "Ah!" She yelped when she suddenly felt his body slide over her back and his semi-hard on land between her buttock cheeks. Fear erupted inside her as he cast his shadow over her. "Until when are you going to pretend and hide from me, my pearl?" His husky voice drew out close to her ear as he bit on top of her ear. Instinctively she bit her lips, feeling pleasure beginning to rise in her body. "Pearl." He licked the bite mark before kissing her neck, moving down to her shoulder and back, leaving small love bites in his wake. Noticing she had failed to cover herself in front of him, she attempted to do so but stopped halfway and let her hands down when he gave his order. "Stop hiding from me. I want to see you and touch you." She exhaled sharply. "Why do you keep on running?" "Y-you…" She hesitated but when he covered her left breast with his hand, giving a light squeeze, she moaned forgetting it all. "Tell me." His lips found her neck once more, leaving Pearl weak from the pleasure. "You said not to touch you," she managed to let out. He chuckled lightly and turned her in his arms so she was facing him. "I did, so?" "You…" He captured her lips, kissing her deeply before giving her a chance to catch her breath. "I did for your good." ************* Disclaimer: Cover Not Mine Read-only on WEBNOVEL ––––––––––– Discord server: http//discord.gg/BH666ZK Instagram: baevidaa Discord: BaeVida#7167 Youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC25S69WOTLDlvpL8GGjwi_A

CHAPTER 61 – Pay Back
About ten men stood outside the house all dressed in black pairs of trousers and long-sleeved black shirts.
In each of their hands held a sword with the tip pointing to the floor in front of them.
Not too far from where they stood, Leo paced in the courtyard with a finger on his jaw.
From the point where they had delivered the letter till Pearl was sent away, he had expected Zale to make an appearance so soon but to his amazement, that did not occur as the latter took his time coming.
'Did retracting my men from the marketplace not give him an idea that he was free to go back to his hideout? How come he has yet to arrive?' Leo wondered.
He shook his head, ditching whatever thoughts that rang the bell of Zale, finding out all of these was a trap.
Not only had he made some of Fearghal's men remain in hiding around the vicinity, he had the house full of them.
