(Isabella POV)
"Falling in love with a human! Prince Nyx, how dare you! Have you forgotten what these earthlings did to our people!?" King Knox shouted at his son.
"Father, I know! But she is my mate, my other half!" Nyx argued as he wrapped his hand protectively around me.
"Earthling can't be mates with us! We are far more dignified. You are the next King. You should marry a potential Zylian woman! Not some lowly creature!" The king shouted earning a growl from his son.
"Do not speak low of my Mate. She is more than capable to be queen!" he shouted as his father sighed.
"I am sorry, Nyx but you are not in the right state of mind," the king said as the other looked at him confused.
"Guards! Seize Prince Nyx and kill the human!" King ordered as our eyes widen.
"NO!" Nyx shouted as millions of guards ran to us with weapons.
I felt Nyx's body shake and I knew his power is being activated. Suddenly he glowed gold as his gun appeared in his hand.
"I will protect you till my last breath," he said as he kissed my forehead and held me tight.
******************************
Five years ago the aliens attacked the planet earth.
The peace in the face of earth vanished as the surface of the planet became war fields and hunting grounds.
They looked exactly like normal human beings. Not a difference to be noted. But they have powers.
They glow when their power activates.
Their eyes glow.
They magically summon weapons.
They killed many innocents be it men, women, old, young.
The humans were forced to take shelter underground. Food and water were scarce. No one dares to go out for it is never safe. The earth's surface was just dark and dangerous.
We were no match for the Zylians.
They were advanced species of the galaxy. They take pride as they go about the universe capturing other planets. The King of Zylian has always been proud of his youngest son, Prince Nyx, and decided to give him the throne.
But no one imagined that the young prince will fall in love with me, a human girl.
My life had always consisted of being an aid to the injured.
And that is exactly how I met him. I never knew the man I took in to aid was the prince of the enemy world. I never knew I will fall in love with him.
He claimed me as his destined soul mate.
It was a forbidden love paired up by the Zylian God and now we have to do whatever it takes to protect our love.
(Isabella POV)
"Papa!! Come on we are going to miss the bus!!" I shouted as I swiftly put my shoes on.
"Slow down. You'll fall, Bella. I'll drive you if you miss the school bus" Papa replied as he walked down the stairs fixing his tie.
The bus stop is a 5 minutes ride from my home and he always drops me there. Today we overslept because we spend the entire night celebrating my 15th birthday.
Like always we got in our car and I turned on the radio and started singing along.
"Did you take your umbrella, Isabella?? It looks like there is going to be a thunderstorm." He said as I replied yes.
I looked up at the sky and cringed as another lightning struck through the sky. The winds were blowing hard and honestly, it looked like an incoming tornado.
"Did you take your books?? Your pen?? Pepper spray?"
"Pepper spray? Really Papa??" I asked amused.
"Yes. You should be prepared. What if a boy advances at you?" he said seriously as I let out a hearty laugh. My papa over here is hell protective of me, a little too much you can say. But still, I love him.
Ever since my momma died when I was 5 years old. Papa is the only family I have.
The bus stop came to the view and I sighed in relief.
"Thank god. The bus didn't arrive"
Suddenly a lightning strike right in front of our car making me scream. Papa cursed as he pulled the breaks but something went very wrong. The car hit some unknown object.
I swear there was nothing in front of us!
The impact threw me to the front but a hand caught me from hitting the glass. The car summersault through the air and hit the ground.
"Papa!!!" I screamed as I felt pain all through my body.
"Shhh... I'm here baby Bella. Calm down. Are you alright? Does anything hurt?" He asked, his voice seems to be filled with pain.
"I'm alright, papa. Are you ok?" I asked crying.
"Yes, I am. Belle, I want you to slowly remove your seatbelt and get out thought the window. Be careful not to step on the glass. Ok..." he said breathing heavily.
"What about you papa," I asked, fear starting to build up. I can't lose him. He's the only one I have left in my life.
"I will be alright baby. I want you to run to the nearest gas station and tell them about this. Remember papa loves you and won't let anything happen to you. Be a brave girl and always be kind and help others" he said as he started coughing.
"Hurry we don't have much time" he continued as I nodded and removed the seatbelt falling on the process. A sharp pain moved up my knees as I felt a piece of glass pierce through them.
I crawled out and shouted back "papa, hang in there! I'll find help!"
"Be careful!"
I ran in the direction of the nearest gas station ignoring my pain. Suddenly I heard an explosion and I turned around swiftly to find my car exploding into flames.
"Papa!!!!" I cried running back to the car but only to stop and watch a guy in a glowing violet suit and a big gun looking at me.
His eyes were mysterious and shined violet. His face was void as he started to walk to me.
Without a single thought, I dashed to the forest but I can hear footsteps following close.
I applied more pressure to my aching legs but I slipped fell off a cliff into a swarm of mud before everything around me turned black.
My eyes snapped open and groaned rubbing my aching head. It's been so long since I had that dream.
I got out of my 'not so comfortable' bed, wore my almost worn shoes, and got out of my underground house to get some fresh air.
Yes, I know it's dangerous, the Zylians can kill me but all I want now is some time to think.
It has been 5 years since papa's death. 5 years since I lost the last part of my family. 5 years since the alien attack.
After falling from the cliff I was taken by a group of refugees who trained me to be a health reliever.
Yes, I am now a doctor.
After 3 years of training, I left the place and started my own clinic in the underground. It was more of a relief support home to children who lost their parents, wives who lost their husbands, and other people without shelter. It was also one of the aiding centers for the injured soldiers.
I froze as I suddenly heard a noise to my left. It seems like a person is groaning in pain. I slowly moved to the sound of the noise to only see a guy.
He was crouching, his back facing me. His hair was a mix of white and ash.
"Oh my god!" I said as I saw blood. He seemed to be badly injured in his leg as blood flow through it.
On hearing my voice his head snapped in my direction.
My breath hitched upon seeing him. He was so handsome it was a sin.
I would have stood there and admired him but he let out another groan making me snap out of my gaze.
"A...are you alright?" I asked worriedly.
"St...Stay....a...away" he grunted and I stopped in my steps.
"Urgh!!" He shouted in pain swaying as though he will lose his consciousness any moment.
"You're wounded badly!! Please let me take care of you!" I said as I walked closer and it seems he didn't notice me approaching as he looked at me with surprised wide eyes. I sat down on my knees and looked at his wound.
"Don't touch me" he shouted but he fell forward as I caught hold of him, sending a wave of shock through my body.
I gasped in shock at the sensation. I didn't know what was happening but I ignored the feeling focusing on saving the man.
I didn't know what to do. I can't carry him back and I can't leave him alone to go call for help. His wound is getting serious every minute.
"Isabella!! What are you doing here!! Wait, who is that!?" I heard a voice from behind making me look back.
"Daniel!" I shouted in happiness as I saw one of the soldiers I treat appear before me.
"Oh thank god you are here! Help me take him to the clinic. He is hurt bad!" I shouted.
He nodded without hesitation and quickly picked him up and we walk back to the clinic with the wounded man.
(Prince Nyx POV)
"I always considered us to be unfortunate because we were not able to find our mate. But now I understand it's because the Lord wants us together" Hasya said as I rolled my eyes.
'If the Lord wants us together then he would have made us mates' I wanted to say but I held my tongue.
I promised my father I will not speak anything improper against her.
I am Prince Nyx, the 2nd son to King Knox and the next King to the planet of Zylians. I am currently 21 and mateless.
We Zylians are species of advance race. We are called the conquerors of galaxy since we conquer any planet which perks our interest.
But attacking this planet has another purpose. We hate them. We despise them. They took something dear and near to us and we will destroy this planet for that.
The woman who is blabbering beside me is Hasya. One of the top warrior of our planet and too full of herself. We both haven't found our mate so we were forced to accompany each other in order to get married in the future.
Well I am forced. She seems to enjoy.
"Will you shut up!?If we get killed, your mouth is the only thing to blame" I finally snap as the last thread of patience broke.
We were hunting the earth grounds. With her loud mouth, we will definitely become an easy target.
Sound of earth guns firing suddenly filled the air as I cursed.
"Shit. They found us!" I said as I took out my weapon.
A group of men came out. There were at least 10 of them. We will not make it.
"Hasya split and run. It's the only way to not get killed" I said in my language as she nodded.
One plus point she has was when it come to this situation. She becomes fierce and ready to fight instantly.
"Now!!" I shouted we immediately took off in opposite directions. I jumped through the trees confusing the earthling that is following me.
I had to kill few of those worthless earthlings before losing sight of the rest.
I walked carefully through the forest of this planet. It was dark and past midnight. The silence filled throughout the area.
After years of planning and learning about these earthlings we surprised attack them. We hate them. they are worthless. Ever since young I was trained and taught to lead my army to destroy this planet. I was taught all the traditions and languages of these humans because father said we must know our enemies to defeat them and as future king I will be successful in my mission.
Suddenly I was interrupted by a sound of leaf cracking. I slowly took out my shifter from the pocket and pressed the button to turn it into a high power electric gun. It was my divine weapon.
Every Zylians have powers which get transferred to their weapons. But this is only half our power. When we need our full power, our body ignites into the power and our eyes glow.
I kept my weapon ready looking around for any signs of movement.
Suddenly a loud bang echoed through the air and I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen region before I collapse to my knee.
Shit! I've being shot!!
I looked at the direction of the sound to find an earthling on top of a tree with a gun. I pointed my electrifier at him and shoot him.
Dead.
I smirked, proud of myself. I'm very good at shooting and aiming.
Once again pain shoots through my body as I curse.
Urgh!! It hurts. I put my gun in neutral mode at put it back to my pocket. I began examining the wound but it was very much stinging and I don't seem to get any concentration.
Suddenly I was alerted by sounds of movement and I began looking around. I don't think I can fight with this wound. Usually earthling weapons don't take a huge toll on us but this...
I cursed as I removed my suit completely and put on the earthlings dress. I hate wearing this disgusting thing but I have no other choice. The only way out is disguising myself as an earthling.
I just hope they don't figure out I am not one of them.
"Argh!" I groaned in pain as I tried to move my body. I quickly sat on a crouch position clenching my stomach.
"Oh my god!" I heard an angelic voice making my eyes widen. My eyes shot up to see a petite figure... a female. She approached closer taking her own time.
"A...are you alright?" She asked.
"St...Stay....a...away" i grunted and she immediately stopped on her tracks.
"Urgh!!" I shouted as the pain kept on increasing... my vision going in and out.
Why am I feeling like this? I've gotten shot before but this...this pain is new.
"You're wounded badly! Please let me take care of you" She shouted and I didn't notice that she moved closer to me.
This woman... Why do I feel so content on just seeing her?
She sat down on her knees and looked at my wound.
"Don't touch me" I shouted but my vision completely blackened as I fell forward but the last thing I felt is a wave of sparks.
