2024-10-29 19:42:56I came back to the present with tears rolling down my face. I never remembered that talk or that day—God, I wish I did remember. That would have been the last time I saw my father properly. I couldn’t hold the sobs back; the tears just kept flowing. I knew as soon as I opened my eyes I would see so many pairs of eyes on me, and I wasn’t ready to face all the questions.
I felt strong arms engulf me, and I knew straight away that it was Kai, and as much as I hated to admit it, his embrace made me feel so grounded like I could get through this and find whatever the key was inside myself. If my dad thought I could do this and unlock the power inside me, then I would do it for him as well as for Farrarie.
“I’ve got you, mi amor.”
I couldn’t speak past the lump in my throat, so all I could do was nod my head against Kai’s chest. He didn’t push me for an answer or ask what happened; he just held me,

“The only person that could hurt me is you, mi amor. Don’t worry, I will be fine, but I will probably be gone for a few days, so don worry if I don’t come back straight away. The others will watch over you and keep you safe.”I didn’t want to say goodbye to Kai, and the words I wanted to say wouldn’t come out, so instead, I let my actions speak for me. I leaned up on my tip-toes and pulled Kai’s face down to mine and kissed him. He was stiff as a board for a second, as I think I caught him off-guard, but then he snapped, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me flush against his chest, and I couldn’t stop the moan that slipped free.Our tongues were intertwined and fighting for dominance. I needed more of him, and I went to put my hand under his shirt when a throat cleared and broke the spell that I was under. Kai reluctantly pulled back. That kiss was amazing. I looked over my shoulder to see where the no

“I didn’t believe him at first, but the look on his face showed me he was genuinely scared for his child. I wanted to walk away and not help him, even if he was telling the truth that his daughter was the key to kill my people. Then I thought of Dom, Jax, and Kai, how we could be friends and trust each other, even though we were from different clans. Maybe this man could be trusted too. I agreed to meet with your father at a later time, as I had to get back to my realm. A week later I met your father at the same pub, but this time was different. I was keen to hear what he had to say, as I had done some research on what all the elders believed to be the key to power, and low and behold he was telling the truth—the blood of a witch-fae halfling with a pure heart is the key to sealing the fae realm from Earth. Ralph and I spoke for hours about you, Ryan. God, he loved you so much he was willing to risk his life to find me just so you could live.”

“Okay, I’ll agree to Dom and Aurora training me, but you all have to promise me that no matter what happens, none of you will harm my sister.” They all exchanged looks with one another and agreed.“I’ve also been wondering—Randall drank from me at the cabin. I guess that means he’s going to be strong and powerful now, right?”“No, Randall will be the same strength as he normally is. Your fae side isn’t unlocked yet, so he only drank your witch blood, so to speak.” Nico’s answer made me feel slightly less fucked, which was a pleasant surprise.“We must begin the training as soon as we can. I have a feeling Randall won’t sit by much longer; he’s chronically impatient, so something must be wrong if he is not attacking us already.” Dom sounded so sure, which made me worry even more for Kai. What if someth

“I can’t heal the dead, Ryan. There is nothing I can do.” I wanted to argue with him, but I could see he was just as angry and heartbroken as I was. I tore my gaze away from Nico and looked down at my strong and courageous vampire. I couldn’t stop the tears from falling. “Do not cry for me mi amor, I will see you again” he sounded so certain, almost like a promise. “I love you, Melakai. I always wished you were real. And when I finally got my wish granted, I wasted so much time. I am so sorry, Kai. I swear on all that is holy in this world that I will avenge you and make anyone who hurt you suffer. You have my word.” I leaned down and kissed his cold, chapped lips. And then it all went black. I awoke next to Nico on the bed. Before anyone could say anything, Nico grabbed me an

Ryan's POV“You have to do the spell; the boys will know what spell to procure. Trust in yourself, you can do this.”“How can you be so sure?”“Because you are stronger than you know. He will need to play his part—you must do this spell.”I drifted out of my daydream and sighed. Yeah, I wasn’t just dreaming while sleeping now. I sit in my room, gazing out the window, not really seeing anything. The doubts of what I am supposed to do are creeping in. Kai’s gone. He’s actually fucking gone.I feel the tears starting to build again. Taking a steadying breath, I push my emotions back down. I can’t give in to my grief when there is a chance the tears will be wasted. I’ve spent the past three days in this room, planning, and plotting.Losing Kai was a hard pill to swallow; I didn&rsq

Nico's POV What the hell! How did she know? She’s looking at me with so much anger and mistrust. Did Aurora betray me? Everyone is staring at me, and Jackson looks like he is two seconds away from wringing my neck. “Well? Are you going to answer me or sit there like a fish out of water?” I gulp, I know Jax heard. I think that’s the only reason why the hateful look he is aiming at me is starting to fade from his face. “I…I…how?” I sound like a blubbering idiot, but she has me stumped. She is loving every minute of this, judging by the smirk on her beautiful face. “Oh, you mean how did I know you and Aurora are both lying assholes? That’s easy, I have a secret power for sniffing out the bullshit!” There is so much venom lacing each of her words. Aurora has a hand clamped across her mouth in shock. So she didn’t rat me out after all…who did, then?

Ryan's POVI can see the look of heartbreak on Jax’s face. He’s devastated. He thought I was his mate, only to be told that I wasn’t, and to make matters worse, his true mate has rejected him. Jackson’s expression changes from heartbreak to betrayal. The woman he trusted so much has lied to him and broken his trust in the worst way possible. No one says a word as we wait for Jax to process the information and all its ramifications.“I think we should forget about this conversation and move on to figuring out how to help Ryan.” I was grateful for the subject change, but at the same time, I would love to slap Chase for bringing the attention back to me. So, I did what any grown-ass woman would do at that moment—I stalled.“I think we should all take a break and reconvene tonight. It seems like we could all use some time to ourselves.” Everyone quickly agreed and started shuffli

Ryan's POVI avert my eyes from Dom’s face so he can’t see the truth; the truth is Dom is right. I am scared of what I am feeling for Nico.“Take it from someone who has been where you are, babe—don’t run, embrace it.”“How have you been where I am?” I sound like a bitch, but come on. Look at Dom; what stupid woman would run from him? He’s beautiful, with those violet eyes, sun-kissed skin, and shaggy silver blonde hair that you wanted to run your hands through. He was a handsome man, but he was also kind and caring. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.“I was in a similar situation many years ago, and I was too much of a coward to admit my feelings. I lost my chance with the one I crave, but you haven’t lost Nico, there is hope for you two. I see the way my friend looks at you, and I see the way you look at him. You are both s

Ryan's POVStevie’s coming, Nico hid something from me again, and Stevie wants to kill Nico. I keep running those words through my head on a loop. What did Nico do? Why would Stevie be coming here? Has she had a change of heart? Oh my God, Kai will have to face her. I didn’t even think of Kai.As soon as Aurora finished telling us her vision, I left the mess hall and returned to my room, needing some time to sort my head out and prepare for my sister’s arrival. Now I had to read the letter from my dad that Nico somehow has. Why does he keep breaking my fucking trust? Speak of the devil. The man himself has just walked through my bedroom door, without knocking.“When a door is shut it means you need to knock!”“I didn’t knock last night, and it seemed to work out well for the both of us.” The fucking cheek of this arrogant asshole!“I was

Nico's POVAs soon as she drifted off to sleep, I chanted the spell to bring us back to her bedroom in Jackson’s compound. The sun was already rising, and I knew sleep would evade me. I had never felt like this for anyone in my many years of being alive. I laid there, just looking at her sleep in my arms. Her tiny body was nestled in the same position as it was before I took her to our dreamland, and I ran my hand up and down her side, just needing to feel her. As soon as she learned the truth about what I had done she would hate me.I am the reason she is here. I don’t have the balls to tell her the truth, but I know I need to find a way before Kai tells her. I lay there watching her sleep for so long that I must have drifted off too, jerked awake some time later by a constant knocking on her door. Before I could untangle myself, the door smashed open and slammed against the wall. Ryan sat straight up, ready to scream until she saw it was

Ryan's POVOh my God! I felt like I was floating on a cloud. Nico made me come so hard, and fuck did it feel good. He nestled himself between my legs and leaned down to capture my lips in a searing kiss that felt like he was branding me. I could taste myself on his tongue, and I’m not shy to admit that I loved the taste of me mixed with the taste of him. I felt his hard bulge nudging my pussy as he was grinding his pelvis into me. I needed him inside me now.“Nico, I need you inside me now, please” The smug bastard loved it when I begged.“You want me to put my cock in this beautiful wet pussy, love?” I loved his dirty talk, it always made me more needy and wet.“Yes!” It was the only reply he needed before he was stripping himself of hi

Nico's POVAfter Ryan left the mess hall, everyone continued to chat amicably about their lives. I noticed Kai had been very quiet for most of this. It was strange, considering he normally added his version of events when I, Jax, or Dom told a story of our youth. However, I didn’t have time to worry about his salty-ass attitude—this might be my only time to ask Ryan’s cousins some things about her. I made my move when there was a break in the conversation.“Were Ryan and her sister close, even though they lived apart?” Both of the warlocks’ faces dropped at the mention of Ryan’s twin sister. Chase was quicker to recover from the shock and answer my question.“Stevie and Ryan were closer than anyone I know. Even though they lived apart, they would always find a way to see each other or talk on Ryan’s hidden cell phone. It would destroy Stevie when she couldn’t sp

Ryan's POVI felt Nico tense. Now he understood what I was trying to say. I knew Kai had hoped to return to his homeland after Randall was defeated, but now he could never go home. I abused his trust in me, and Kai was never going to forgive me.“The spell you cast, though—Kai said he told you what spell to use. He would never use a spell that would block him from returning home.”“I didn’t use the spell Kai told me to use.”“What? Why?” I could hear the anguish in Nico’s voice; he was devastated his brother could never go home.Even after their big falling out, Nico made Kai exempt from the spell he cast in Farrarie after Randall kidnapped Sophia.“Because my dad told me the spell Kai wanted me to use would never work.”“There has to be more to it than that, love.”

Nico's POVI heard her gasp as the portal closed behind us. Was that gasp because she was happy I brought her here or was she pissed off because this was the place Kai had brought her, and where she thought he died?“Nico, I…I—” Dammit, I made a huge mistake bringing her here.I bowed my head, feeling defeated, letting my black hair hang over my face, shielding my eyes. Nothing I do seems to make her happy.Instead, I have a knack for pissing her off“I’m sorry, I’ll take us back now.” As I turned around to open another portal, she grabbed my hand. My eyes shot to hers. She had a beautiful, shy smile on her face, and her eyes told me what she could not. She was glad to be here but unsure what her next move would be.“I’m shocked you brought me here. I have never been to Lake William before. Well, of course, I have, but only

Ryan's POVI was standing between Nico and Kai.Kai was trying to sit up to assess the situation better. I placed my hand on his chest and shook my head. With a huff, he laid back down and didn’t try to move again. Sophia and Dom were still standing in the same place.Jax, Aurora and my cousins were standing on the other side of the bed.Jax was standing slightly in front of Aurora, ready to shield her if Dom did shift.“Deep breaths, Alpha, I don’t want to have to throw your wolf around as well.”Dom laughed at Sophia’s words, which is what I guess she was hoping for, as some of the tension in his back and shoulders started to ease. He wasn’t fully calm yet, but a lot calmer than he was a minute ago. His laughter stopped abruptly, and tension returned to his body.“You’re right, Soph, I deserve so much worse. I will spend my life making it up to
A Witch's Nightmare - Dream Trilogy Book 1 Chapter 55
Nico's POVI’m sitting here, staring at her and the way she is running her hand through Kai’s hair. Since when did she stop being angry at him and when the hell did they become friendly like that? I knew they were close in her dreams, and just thinking about Kai having his hands on my woman made my fucking blood boil. I hate the way I’m feeling, like I’m some insecure child. I have never felt like this before about anyone. I hated Kai just for having her hands on him.“Could you stop fucking touching him? He’s alive, yay! That doesn’t mean he needs you to constantly fucking pat him like he’s your pet.” I snarled, shocked at my own outburst.I saw the others staring at me with wide eyes. Dom and Jax both looked like they wanted to laugh. I narrowed my eyes at them until they looked away. I returned my stare to Ryan and found she was glaring at me. The look she was giving me to
