BLACK GHOUL
Chapter 199: Black Bargain [2]

Chapter 199: Black Bargain [2]

Riley’s heart slammed loudly in her chest, her eyes fixed on the small board space in front of where she hid.

"This is ridiculous," she said faintly, this was the worst night of her life ever since their wedding night, she thought that night was the worst day of her intimate section with Liam due to the ghoul killer attack but she was wrong, this was the worst ever. Some ancient being was involved in this one.

She rolled her eyes.

"Silver, are you sure he can’t trace our scent?" Riley asked the being within her.

’Trust Silver, he won’t, Silver remembers a memory of this game’ Silver said in her head, with her deep angelic voice.

"He played this with Akila?"

’Yes... a game they loved to play... Silver doesn’t fully remember but Silver helps her mask her scent so that her destined wouldn’t find her’

"Well, what happens if he finds her?" Riley asked.

’That was the fun part of the game... Akila would want to be found because after that they both mate under the moonlight, the most intimate part of their relationship and also the way for the ghoul king and queen to enjoy their time together’

"You have got to be kidding me... there’s no way I’m sleeping with that beast!" Riley said pissed, even though she somewhat has some funny ghoul connection with him, that wasn’t her husband, even though his body, ugh! Thinking about it further made her head ache.

’You both bargain, right? Then rest assured nothing like that will happen’

"Screw this," Riley said, still pissed about the game’s meaning.

Suddenly she heard thud steps, her whole body froze, as her breath caught.

She knew it was Omari and he was coming, stupid, stupid, stupid! She constantly repeated in her head as her heart slammed loudly in her chest, the thud sound got louder and louder... but she had to calm herself down because there’s no way he would find her, she got her scent covered and her hiding space was undetectable.

"Where are you, little one, come out, come out, wherever you are ’’ Omari’s loud voice boomed in the hallway, in a sing tone, his voice in amusement.

Riley almost snorted at his undeniable amusement of playing this sick game but she retrained herself from doing so.

’Sick bastard!’ She cursed in her head.

The thud sound fades into a distance.

’He will be back, we should change the hiding spot’ Silver said in her head.

"When does the game end?" Riley asked faintly, she needed to know how long this was going to go on.

’Dawn’

"Great," Riley said, opening the box space and sliding it open as she crawled out from inside the wall, out fully, she quickly closed the space, turning to leave but a nail caught the sheet wrapped around her, making it stuck, of all the bad luck that could happen, why this?

"Fuck" she cursed pulling it but then it rips all the way to her body as she gasps.

"Found you" Omari’s voice came in with beaming amusement.

With widened eyes of horror, she turned to him.

"I win," he said in a simple tone as his void golden eyes beamed.

In fear Riley quickly pulls back but as result, her sheet rips entirely, she trips falling to the ground but instead of her back head slamming to the floor it lands on a hand instantly.

Omari was suddenly on top of her, pinning her body to the ground.

"What are you gonna do to me?" Riley asked shakily as her mind played Silver’s words.

"Whatever do you mean little one," he said smirking.

"You know what I mean" Riley growled moving.

But he instantly grabs her hand and pinned it above her head, slamming it to the floor, Riley groaned in response.

Omari growled.

"Now for what we bargained for," he said as his chest vibrated in a growl. Trying his best to concentrate on their talk and not this naked maiden before him, this ’Liam’ was overly attracted to his wife, even if he didn’t want to feel this... this ’Liam’ body was making it harder to contain himself.

Riley shifts uncomfortably beneath him, there was no space between them at all, and she could feel all of him.

"Be still, woman!" He snaps, snarling as if refraining himself. "Keep moving and I will take you against the floor in my form!"

Riley was still as a wall instantly as her heart slammed in her chest, her body trembling.

"Heed my words" he began in a much softer tone, hoping to get this over with. "There will be no sharing of Claws... I shall remain until I have fulfilled doomsday".

"Doomsday?" Riley couldn’t stop herself from asking, this was the second time he said something like this.

Omari growled at her disrespectfulness for interrupting him, but as if he knew the mystery was killing her, he responded.

"My greatest foe small rise again, the battle between two deities shall shake the earth, this child cannot defeat it alone so I shall accompany him"

Riley’s eyes widened at his words.

"This child didn’t just tap into my rage by mere chance but I chose to be awakened so I may fulfill doomsday... a battle I predicted during my time"

"Then who is this foe? Who is the other deity?" She demands. She needed to know if Liam was in danger.

"Apophis... the god of Chaos, my enemy since the very beginning, he has no form or shape but still finds a way to crawl into the hearts of people, I sealed him once but yet again he manages to come back, this time I must kill him and end his reign," Omari said with a growl.

Doomsday, Apophis, god of chaos, this was all too much for her to take in.

"Listen to my little one" Omari began in a more serious tone, not tearing gaze with hers.

"Every foe this child has ever fought since the moment he awakens his Claw"

Riley gasps as a series of images played in his void eyes.

’Xavier Jose, Seth Judson, Wayne Sanford, Barbra Jones, even their own son Ryan O’Brien’ she saw all their faces, she couldn’t believe it, they were all the twisted manipulation of Apophis, the poison in their thoughts, the dark desire for the blood they were driven by, everything. And then she saw a snake snarled.

She gasps looking away, taking a harsh breath of what she just uncovered.

"Apophis will not stop until he ends my reign, my descendant... which is why I cannot go back to sleep, I must merge with this child and become one, with our powers colliding I shall be able to erase Apophis once and for all".

Tears filled Riley’s eyes, this was bigger than them combined, this was a long destined battle between two deities. And Liam was caught in the middle of it all. She understood everything now because she could feel it. The truth in his words, Anubis did say he didn’t know why Omari chose to awaken, but now she knew why.

She faced Omari as the tears fell, this was the reason all this was happening, it all made sense now.

"What happens..." she sobs. "What happens when you merge with Liam and fulfill doomsday?!"

She saw a flick of emotion in his eyes but as soon as it came, it was gone.

"This child will die"

"No... no" she cried forcing her grip off his hold, hitting his chest and barking in cries.

"He won’t survive it, his body shall merge with mine, and we shall both cease to exist"

"No please... just stop," she cried.

Omari growled.

"Listen to me little one!" he hissed pinning her hands back to either side of her, close to her head, but not as hurtful. Her teary eyes met his.

"This cannot be undone," he said softly, he released one of her hands and slowly wiped the tears from her cheeks.

Riley closes her eyes as she sobs, the pain unbearable.

Omari leans close.

"Which is why I have a second request," he said close to her ear, sending shivers to her spine.

"Bear my heir... give birth to my next descendants" Riley flushed her eyes open upon his request.

"Secure the next line of the black ghoul," he said, burying his face in her neck.

In response to that, the black skin retreated back within, the black shadow retreated revealing Liam.

He groaned in her neck, his eyes blinked puzzled at the hard floor, weren’t they on the bed?

He raised his head. "Babe, what happened?" He asked looking around seeing they were in the hall, how did they get here?

"What are we doing here?" He asked.

But Riley only just stared at him with sad eyes.

"Riley?"

But then his eyes widened in realization.

"Omari"

"Did Omari do something? Did he hurt you?" He demands, the mere horror and fear of what he might have done to Riley, but she remained lost in silence.
