Up next, we will see from Kalamar, Maddox, and possibly a surprise visit from Veritas. Then we will round off the trial with Calvin's sentencing.
KALAMARI knew that Calvin would one day answer for his crimes. It was simply a matter of time until that day – today – came.There was fear in his eyes when I looked at him, just as there should be. I was someone that he hired to do a lot of illegal shit. Three years of it actually. There was something extremely satisfying about sitting in front of him, holding his life in my hands. No, I might not be able to physically strike him down, but I could help ensure that he suffered greatly for his sins.“I came across Calvin Stark when I was tracking a string of missing people. It took a while for me to cross paths with those responsible. They worked for Calvin, and I was able to get in front of him after another month passed. He was wary at first because I was new, but I was able to charm my way into the outer circle of yes-men that did his dirty work. He tasked me with trafficking young boys and girls. Ones who wouldn’t leave a trace. No family means no fuss and nobody to miss them. He
KALENSelene had told me this morning that I needed to let things play out and not let on that I recognized any of the Council representatives from my time with Calvin if I did. Immediately, I figured out that she was referring to Cassian. Until I saw him today, I had completely blocked out that he had been there.I did not care that he seemingly enjoyed watching me be tortured. Sick fucks would be sick fucks and all that jazz. Nah, what I cared about was the fact that he knew about Calvin’s dealings and turned a blind eye. It was because of him, and the other traitors, that Calvin was able to destroy so many lives.It was so damn hard to rein in my fury instead of just releasing it along his neck. Death was too good for him, and he would get his very own cell in the same place where Calvin was headed for. Those who betrayed the Supernatural Council were treated as if they committed one of the most heinous crimes because they really did. It put the entire foundation at risk, making it
MADDOXI would have been mistaken if I thought that the hate I had in my heart for Calvin could not be any stronger. Knowing what he had planned to do with my mate made me far more furious than I had ever been before.It was a guarantee that we had all been caught off-guard by the revelations of today. I could not imagine what the betrayals that Kalamar brought to light were doing to those on the Council. I was certain that they felt guilty for never knowing what was occurring behind their backs. It was not their fault though because they should have been able to trust each other.Out of nowhere, emotions started pelting the bond – worry, concern, fear, and pain.I looked into Beauty’s face and noticed that her eyes were glazed over in a vision. No idea what it was about, but it had to be rough, given how she was feeling. Then she stumbled backwards. Thankfully, I was standing next to her and caught her easily.‘Are you okay?’ I asked her.There was a light sheen in her eyes when she p
KALENTime passed by both quickly and slowly. Sometimes it felt like it was zooming by. Other times it felt like it was being carried on the back of a slug.Cassian’s Alpha and Luna had been called into the Supernatural Council to discuss the situation regarding what the asshole had been up to. They needed to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, if Cassian had been alone in his fuckery. Maddox and I had been present when this occurred since he would know if he recognized them while I would be able to use my abilities if need be.It was safe to say that Cassian was the only fuckhead in that equation. They had been rightfully disgusted when they learned the truth about the type of person he was at heart. Even more, they were filled with guilt when they heard what he had done to his own mate because they never realized that anything was wrong. I knew that I would feel the same if I was in their place, so I could understand their stance even if it was misplaced guilt.My parents, Maddox, and
MADDOXToday had turned out a lot better than I had anticipated that it would.Damon had helped me get everything set up as Inkfinity’s new tattoo artist. It did not take long before a waiting list was waiting for me. We worked together to create the best fucking portfolio that we could.Just like he did with his other artists when they started out, my portfolio was shared within his circle. What I had not anticipated was how receptive that circle was. It did not take long for me to have actual connections. If that was not enough, I got invited to visit some of those tattoo parlors and bring my designs to life.That was how I found myself in the city today. It was a very productive day. Three tattoos and a couple of collaborative designs with one of the artists here.I texted Beauty to let her know that I was done. She had come with me to the city and spent the day with a friend of hers.‘Be there in a few minutes, my sexy stallion,’ she texted back.I fucking loved that she called me
KALENI yawned and stretched my deliciously sore body.My mate thoroughly worshipped every inch of me. I have heard that sex with your mate would blow any other experience out of the water. I would venture to say that nobody could have ever compared to him. I did not need additional experience to wholeheartedly believe that.Maddox did not simply make love to me or fuck me. Nope. He brought my body to life until each part of me screamed his praises. When I said that he worshipped my body, he truly did by reverently paying attention to it all.He could make my pussy drip with a single look and my insides quiver while only using a few words.We had a very active sex life and one that we both loved. We could never get enough of each other. However, it was not all about the sex. Our bond was very strong, and we strengthened it each day. We were everything to each other, having the other’s back no matter what.Maddox and I made excellent business partners and have made Luxe even more succes
MADDOXI had been planning this vacation for a while now because I wanted it to be absolutely perfect.Beauty had told me all about her desire to visit Italy while we were stranded in our heat bubble, hidden away from the rest of the world. I remembered how her eyes had lit up as she described it all.Damon had actually lived in Italy for a couple of years back in the day and was more than happy to help me get everything situated so that these two weeks would be really fucking awesome.Dahlia had been able to get me set up with a passport and the appropriate travel documents. I did not ask her how she did it though because I did not care. Sure, we could have just materialized or cast over there, but I wanted her to have the normal experience, one that she had been dreaming about since she was younger.Brynn made certain to leave me with a list of people that I could contact on this side of the world just in case we needed anything. I suppose that being on the Supernatural Council certa
MADDOXThe interior of the hotel was even better than the exterior. Arched doorways and windows, chandeliers, impressive artwork, and furnishings that definitely screamed money.We made our way over to the concierge desk. Unfortunately, both of the females had no issues with eye-fucking me. Beauty’s possessive side was about to come out if they kept it up. My girl was someone that you did not want to fuck with.“Benvenuti a Palazzo Dama! Fare il check-in?” fake-blonde number one said as her lips tipped up into what she probably thought was a seductive smile.‘You’re up, beauty. It’s under Maddox Anderson,’ I told her. “SÌ. Mio marito ha messo le nostre prenotazioni sotto Maddox Anderson.” [Yes. My husband put our reservations underneath Maddox Anderson.]She was kind enough to translate it for me via mindlink, and my dick automatically sprung to life when she claimed me as her husband. The way that those words dashed all of their hopes was palpable on their faces. It was really fuckin
