Champion Of Lust: Gods Conquer's Harem Paradise!

Alexa could hardly contain herself as the taxi pulled up outside Pyris' home. Her heart was still racing from the nightmares she had just experienced, and the ominous feeling that lingered from those dreams weighed heavily on her chest.

Without waiting to pay the driver, she flung open the door and ran towards the house.

"Miss, the fare!" the driver called after her, but Alexa didn't care. She had only one focus right now—Pyris.

As she neared the entrance, Pyris was already there, waiting. His tall, commanding figure stood by the door, his eyes filled with concern. The second she reached him, Alexa threw herself into his arms, diving into his chest.

Her whole body trembled as her tears soaked into his shirt.

"It's okay, Alexa. I'm here," Pyris whispered softly, his hands gently stroking her head as he comforted her. He didn't need to ask what was wrong. He could feel her anguish, her desperation.

Her sobs echoed in the stillness of the night, and all Pyris could do was hold her close, rubbing her back and letting her know she wasn't alone.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

For what felt like an eternity, she stayed buried in his chest, letting out everything she had bottled inside. Her mind was still reeling from the vividness of the dreams—the horror of seeing Emilia being murdered, the torment of seeing Pyris in such a vulnerable, defeated state.

She didn't know the abilities sh asked so much to surface were this overwhelming!

After a few minutes, Pyris gently lifted her head. "Come inside, Alexa. Let's talk about it."

They walked inside the dimly lit house, Alexa still clinging to Pyris as if she might fall apart at any moment. He ordered a gardener to pay the now confused taxi driver who nodded in satisfaction for what he had got.

'More than what I worked for, the Obsidians sure live up to their names!' he thought. What he had got would last him three months straight!

Mira, the ever-watchful phantom leader, had already sensed something was wrong the moment Alexa called, and she stood waiting just inside the doorway she watched everything with some kind of intensity a look of understanding etched on her face.

"You're safe here, Alexa," Pyris reassured her, his voice soft as they settled in the living room. He gestured for her to sit, and both he and Mira took their places nearby, ready to listen.

Alexa's voice was shaky as she began recounting her dreams. "It started with... Emilia," she whispered, her eyes wide as she relived the memory, she could only grint her teeth forcing herself to remember the dreams

"She... she was walking in the Obsidian Ent offices, and then... then these dark figures appeared." Her hands shook as she continued. "They killed her, Pyris... they killed her in cold blood. It was so fast, and...

and I couldn't stop them."

Pyris's face darkened as she spoke, his face tightening a dark aura oozing out of him.

Mira sat in silence, her arms crossed, listening carefully.

"And then," Alexa's voice wavered even more as she got to the second dream, "I saw you, Pyris. You were on the floor... bleeding." Her body shoke , shuddering with the terror she had witnessed.

Unlike usual dreams, Alexa lived her dreams and everything felt real as if she was experiencing these visions in her real life! Discover stories with empire

"There was this woman, she was... hurting you, tormenting you. She kept cutting you, and you—" Her voice broke as tears welled up again. "You were in so much pain, but you wouldn't give up. She was asking for something, something important. I don't know what, but you were trying to protect us."

Pyris leaned forward and hugged Alexa tightly, his embrace warm and reassuring. "It's just a dream, Alexa. We'll make sure none of it happens." Although he took knew these weren't mere dreams, these were visions, Alexa's powers were surfacing!

Alexa shook her head, her voice growing urgent. "No, Pyris, this wasn't just a dream. It felt... it felt like it was real. I think—no, I know—that this is the first manifestation of my Fate Dreamer ability. I saw the future, Pyris, and something terrible is coming."

Pyris frowned, but he didn't let go of her. "Even if that's true, we'll stop it. None of us is alone in this, Alexa. We will weave our way through it!"

Mira, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "I won't let anyone harm Emilia. You have my word." Mira's voice was firm, a promise to Alexa that no harm would come to their ally.

Although her eyes held a very different understanding, she wasn't alien to powers similar to Alexa's and to her this was nothing but she had to reassure the young lady.

"I'll never leave his side, don't worry, Alexa," Mira added, her tone far more compassionate than usual. The phantom leader was not known for warmth, but in this moment, she could see how fragile Alexa felt.

Offering a warm gesture was the only thing in the realm of understanding.

Alexa nodded, grateful for Mira's presence. She knew how powerful Mira was, and it reassured her to know someone like her or at least one of her surbodianates would be watching over Emilia.

"I want someone... someone I can trust and count on to protect Emilia," Pyris said after a pause, his expression now serious. "We'll prepare for the worst. Your dream was a vision of what's to come, we need to be ready."

Alexa's hands were still trembling, but she managed a small nod. "It wasn't happening tonight, but I don't know exactly when. There's still time, but we can't let our guard down."

Mira nodded, stepping closer. "I'll have our best shadow guards watching Emilia from now on. Nothing will get to her without us knowing."

"But surely that dream of me isn't happening anytime soon," Pyris added, his gaze softening as he looked at Alexa. "I'm certain of that."

Alexa sighed in relief.

For the first time since waking up from those terrible visions, she felt a glimmer of hope.

Pyris had always been her rock, and now, with Mira and the rest of his allies by her side, she knew they could face whatever was coming.

Still, the haunting images of her dreams clung to the corners of her mind—the dark-clothed assassins, Emilia's bloodied body, the cruel woman who had tormented Pyris. And as Alexa closed her eyes for a moment, she couldn't shake the feeling that this was only the beginning.

The Fate Dreamer had finally awakened within her, but the power it brought was far more terrifying than she had ever imagined.

Here's how the chapter could end with your provided line incorporated:

Alexa wiped the last of her tears as Pyris held her close, offering comfort through his silent but strong presence. Mira, standing beside them, nodded, already formulating plans in her mind.

The night's terror was slowly dissipating, replaced by a sense of purpose and preparation. They would be ready for whatever came next.

"I'll make sure Emilia is safe," Pyris reassured her one last time. "And as for the rest... we'll handle it."

Alexa nodded, her heart still heavy but slightly reassured. She had been through so much already, but this felt different.

This was the first time she truly felt the weight of her powers. The responsibility that came with them.

But in the back of Pyris' mind, a subtle thought lingered. His instincts screamed that things weren't going to unfold as easily as they hoped, as Alexa had seen. He knew better than to trust the surface of visions. Fate was never this simple. Alexa had seen the danger, yes—but the nature of the future was unpredictable.

Alexa hadn't even known how to interprete her own dreams so he could only keep his eyes peeled open.

A small, knowing smile crept onto his lips. 'who said the secret of the heavens would be this direct?' Pyris mused to himself silently, already sensing that they were in for a surprise.

He knew better than anyone that fate was far more twisted than it ever appeared, and so did Alexa and Mira!
