At least Kalen knows that there's a reason for him being an ass. It won't be too far in the future that Kalen enacts her plan. She just has to make sure that all of the pieces are together first.
KALENMy head was pounding when I finally peeled my eyes open. I barely slept at all because I was spiraling. All of the bullshit that I learned last night was fucking with my head.Maddox was my mate, which was something that I still had no idea what I felt about. He took my first kiss without even asking permission or apologizing for acting like a brute. He was cocky as hell and thought he was the Goddess’ gift to all female kind.Because of my nifty little ability, I could sense us as mates, and therefore would feel him fucking around with others. Note the sarcasm. I did not blame him because he did not know we were mates. It was not like this was after the bond snapped into place or anything. That would be an entirely different story entirely.This entire situation was so fucked up that it was not even remotely funny.Oh, it got better. His father would ‘capture’ me, falling into the trap that I would put in place, and would sadistically torture me. I had no idea what all that woul
KALENZion did not push, but I knew that he was worried about me. He always let me open up to him in my own time no matter what it regarded.Thankfully, the pain stopped after five minutes. We were finally in the hallway that led to the room. The guys could have gotten us there immediately, but this was the best way for me to pick up on anything with my abilities.A door opened, his scent wafting towards me. I really tried my hardest not to look, but my body betrayed me. Our eyes met.Then I saw the chick that he had just done something with as she was walking past him and out the door. She waved her fingers goodbye.Maddox’s eyes had not left mine. They were filled with something complex. I saw guilt, confusion, and longing. All of that was overshadowed by the need to protect me. He was not a bad guy. At least I did not get that impression from him. If he was truly trying to protect me from his father…Ugh. This was all so fucked up!‘Is it okay with you if I talk to Neo, his wolf?’ N
KALENI had been making a list of things that I needed to figure out while also preparing a plan of taking on Calvin Stark.There were certain things that I needed to find a way to ask Grandma Tris without arousing suspicion. Primarily, regarding ways to counteract hallucinogenic. I knew that Vessel wolves had a higher tolerance for poisons, but I was not certain if there was anything that would help against it.I absolutely fucking hated myself because of the fact that I would have to leave everyone in the dark about what was happening as I got ‘abducted’ by Stark, especially given what everyone was going through right now with Angel being missing. So, I would need to figure out a way to set them as much at ease as possible once I was gone.Perhaps I could leave them with a video recording, reminding them that I was a Vessel, and Selene chose me for this. Also let them know that I needed them to trust me.Nika would be needing to make us untraceable because this would be the only chan
MADDOXWant to know something extremely pathetic? It was the fact that the only way that I could get off was to imagine that it was a certain beauty with gemstone eyes that looked like emeralds.Did I know this chick’s name? Nah. Sex was sex – a release and nothing more. Some would call me a playboy. When you have led a life like mine, then you would know that there were two things that helped to calm the raging storm inside of me. Pain and sex.Was it healthy to seek out sources of pain or sex? Not a fucking clue, but it was what it was.I had the chick’s hair wrapped around my fist and was pushing her head down on my dick. Her blowjob skills were decent but not something I would intentionally seek out. She was gagging on my dick but was enjoying being used for my pleasure.My eyes closed as Beauty’s face came to mind. Those expressive green eyes would meet mine and beg me for more.‘STOP!’ Neo screamed all of a sudden.I was taken aback by his abruptness, which gave him enough of an
KALENI knew that I probably looked like a zombie. It had been days since I had any real sleep. Angel being missing, visions of my future, and the weight of everything pressing down on me was the perfect recipe for insomnia.The only relief that Nika and I had was that Neo was aware of the bond. It also helped that he knew about what would be happening soon with Calvin. Maddox did not know, but at least one of our mates was aware of most of it.I was still on the fence about Maddox because of something that I had learned in a recent vision. Once the bond snapped, he would end up cheating on it. Right now, I did not blame him because he did not know, but he would at that point. I was desperately hoping that he would change his mind before it happened, but only time would tell.Dad was the one who taught me that a mate-bond connected two people on an intimate soul level, but that did not mean that it was the only thing that mattered. He once told me that a mate needed to hold respect for
KALENThey had finally found Angel after five days of her being missing. From what I heard, the circumstances that they had found her in were not ideal at all. However, she was alive. That was what mattered.Maxine was apprehended and was in Nightshade’s custody. I was thankful that they were able to grab her too because she deserved to be severely punished for her betrayal as well as being the cause of whatever Angel had gone through. All I knew was that she had faced some sort of torture.I asked Aunt Imeela for help regarding the sigil. It was safest to ask her for help than anyone else because she knew what was going on. Kind of at least.It was a deviation of a shadow bond, which was used to bind a witch’s will to the one who sought the bond. The witch became a puppet. The cost was that the seeker had to pay with whatever they loved the most. That could be anything, including loved ones. The deviation allowed it to be used on any creature whether it was supernatural or not.Aunt I
UNKNOWNWind whistled through the air, cutting through it with sharpened precision. The smell of blood and death hung all around me, causing a pleased grin to form on my face.This area had once been a safe haven, a dedicated sanctuary for the lost and alone. It was a place that anyone could go to in order to find peace. I wanted to laugh at the irony. Now, it was a place that only offered pain, death, and destruction.I basked in the screams that echoed down the corridor. Pain, fear, and hopelessness accompanied it.“Sire,” someone called from behind me.I turned around and saw Gixin standing there with his eyes lowered in submission. He might be my second-in-command, but even he knew his place. It was my prerogative to rip his life from him if I chose to do just that.“Do you have news for me?” I demanded to know.He nodded his head and handed me a file that contained photographs.I smirked, seeing the chaos that was painted with blood and body parts. Perfect. My children were doing
KALENMaddox and I had not kissed again, and he still kept his distance, but I had felt a shift in the bond. It seemed that the kiss had a strong impact overall.I knew that he was still sleeping around, but it was not as frequent as before. I was not looking in for that to mean anything, but at least the pain was not as bad as before. However, I knew that I would be fucked once I was in that cell, given the fact that I would not have any tea. Well, here was to hoping that the other pain that I was in would help to overshadow that.There was no more time to plan and prepare because I would be in that cell by the end of tomorrow night. Was Nika and I ready? As much as we possibly could be, but we would not feel ready even if we had years to prepare.I knew where Calvin would be tomorrow. He was meeting with one of his contacts in Atlanta. So, I would randomly cross paths with him. He would immediately recognize me and would end up tailing me until he had the ideal opportunity to nab me.
