Book 2 preview
I watched my fated sleep for a couple of minutes completely enthralled with her ethereal beauty. I did not want to wake her so I grabbed some papers and sat on the bed trying to get through the mountain of paper work. Thirty minutes in Zuria starts tossing and turning, I stretched to place the papers I held on the bed side table and when I came back I completely froze. Her dad shared with me one of his biggest fears when he was told to marry the dragon. There was one thing he fought for nail and foot for... They are hunters. Her dad made his objections clear and the more the dragon Lord suggested he quits, the more he went in. The point is, the dads know they raised an impossible child to please and that if he did intervene during her fight she wouldn't be here.
"Zuria you back." Zoe walked up to me to give me a hug. There's something different, perhaps if I had my sight it would not bother me so. "Hi Zoe. My dads send their invite next time I go visit." I hug her and she actually lightened up, her enthusiasm is unbelievable. "Yes. Of course I want to meet your parents girl now hustle we have catch up class in thirty minutes." "Catch up for what?" "We are having a tournament of power next. To be fair the groups will be segregated then the two winners will fight each other to determine the winner. The catch up class is to ensure that we are all completely prepared."
Naya found me. I wasn't hiding but I also did not want to get involved with the woman but she didn't want to take the hint. "What?" "I missed you. How about we go-" "Not interested. Whatever you think we had was fun but it's over now." I dismissed her but she still refused to get the point so I walked away. My brother joined me with his stupid self righteous smirk of a face that fights back a grin 'I told you so face.' "I told you the dangers of your actions. So what are you going to do?" "Whatever it is, it must not comeback to Zuria." "Too late."
My phone rang and the caller ID said, Jordan. Picking up at the tired ring after styling my hair in a protective two liner." "Hey Jay. Jayyy." I answered suspecting something to be off when I did not immediately hear he loud chipper voice. I was not completely certain, it was just a raw gut feeling that I just ignored it and still placed the phone to my ear. "If you ever want to see your little friend again you will come to Pennsylvania, to the Centre County. Alone." Hearing cried in the background and Jordan screaming obscenities to her captors the phone dropped. Alone? I was not stupid enough to go alone. Before I left I spoke to Zuria because I know she will not rest until she finds me.
Zoe and Christian are unable to compete which just leave me against every female that hates my guts. "Don't worry, you've got this." Loralei pat my shoulder. "They don't look so scary." Chiara, the succubus says. "Look at your competition. They don't look like they can do much." Ah, they using their sight. The energies I 'see' make me a tad bit nervous. I am wearing my favorite hunting out fit and my custom boots. I have my curly hair in a bun, and I keep brushing the metal with my fingers. "I'm blind. I don't look how they look but I can see their potentials." "No way." I give them a short nod. I can clearly see that I am out of my depths here. The people that know of my condition don't view me as a threat. The people who witnessed my epic butt whooping clearly underestimate my potential. The group that clearly hates me for whatever reason placed a target on my back, their leader definitely wants me gone. "You challenge the prince of hell and you f*cking blind?!"
The first think I did when the horn sounded was close my eyes. There was a lot of bodies being throw and a sh*t ton of magic burning my eyes. Good. "Don't worry Zuria, let me take you out of your misery." I heard something sharp almost faster than my reaction. I grabbed the rope pulled andwith the help of my dragon. She went mid air and I hope her landing did not hurt. Announcements like: "Sarah has been eliminated. Hanna has been eliminated. Thembi has been eliminated. Tondi has been eliminated etc." Rung but my guard was incredibly high eliminating those that wanted to eliminate me. I hate to admit that there were time Loralei, Chiaria and Raven butt in to help me. Almost eight hours in, we were exhausted but we continued our fight until about ten remained standing. "Aww cute. The blind chick. I see you made new friends and became Loki's wh*re..."
"Zuria." I created a shield protecting us from the tranquilizer bullets that are being shot her direction as well as the dragon. I kinda have faith that Zuria will not kill Naya and thankfully she just annihilated the haters off her shoulders. The winner was announced, the dragon disappeared shots stopped being fired and when I looked back Zuria is on the floor. She's looks terrible, her face and hair is covered in dry blood. She has cuts, bruises and burns all over. I engulfed her with my wings to prevent anyone seeing at her weakest. In a matter of I carried her off and my Pannak joined me. I don't when they started caring about Zuria but I am glad they love and respect her.
I woke up next to Zoe, I have a feeling something is wrong. She is yet to wake. Raven is a homeopath and her constant reassurance gave me hope, that my Vita is not dead but she is so far gone that it is hard to consider her alive. Zoe is powerful, whatever is going on I know she will be able to fight though it and it sucks her condition has been the same for like weeks now. My investigation proceeded as normal. But the thing is, nothing. Whatever happening under the carpet, secretes not making the stories connect and my constant worry for my mate breaking me. Like sleeping beauty, I kissed her lips every day hoping that fairy tale held a spark of truth. I was no longer surprised to be disappointed, besides today was the end of the forth month and she is still unconscious.
