Here you go lovelies. Another chapter of "His Hunt for Redemption" will post today. Thank you for all of your incredible support with this universe.
ZIYAH The portal closed behind us, and I nearly fell to my knees with relief. Thankfully, Dante caught me and pulled me into his arms where I felt safe. After a couple of minutes, I pulled away because I would break down crying if I let myself feel the emotions within me right now. It was not the time nor the place. We had others to take care of first. Then I could fall apart later when I was alone. Jarin came running up to me, wrapping his arms around me. I knelt down so that we were closer to the same height and hugged him tightly. He cried into my shoulder, and I felt waves of relief, sadness, and hope coming from him. It was necessary for him to be able to process everything right now, so I gave him all the time that he needed wrapped up in my arms right now. There was no telling what types of hell he had been through that led him to that feeding room. It was a horror that I wished he had never had to experience, but I was thankful that we had been able to get him out of there.
DANTE I had only slept a couple of hours but gave up hope of more by the time 7:00 A.M. rolled around. Ziyah and Jarin had still been heavily sleeping, so I left them to their sleep, hoping that they could both get enough to feel rested. They both deserved it after the shit night they had. A note had been left on the nightstand for them, letting them that I had gone to workout, and to link me if they needed anything. Chris was waiting near the kitchen with a cup of coffee in his hand. The fucker had a knack for knowing when I needed someone to workout with or talk to. He was a lot like my father in that regard. “Thanks,” I said, taking a sip of the coffee. I went into the kitchen and looked around the cabinets until I found honey. There was no going back now that I had been introduced to it. I took another sip and sighed. Now, it was just right. Chris looked at me like I had gone insane, so I just held it out to him. All he would need to do understand was take one single sip. The
ZIYAH I had only been standing in the shower for a couple of minutes by the time that I smelled him. I pretended to be unaware as I was turned away from him. My hands slowly glided over my shoulders. Lust was pounding down the bond, but he was not giving into it just yet. My neck rolled to the side as my hand continued on its path. I bit my lip in an effort to calm down my own desire. This was foreplay that would lead to an explosive union between us. Luckily, we were alone in the suite right now, so I would be able to scream his name all I wanted to. I turned to the side, leaning my head back into the spray. My hands ran from my abdomen to my ribs and then underneath my breasts. I did not have to look his way to know that his heated stare would be filled with nothing but hunger because mine would be if he had been the one teasing me in the shower. Part of me wondered how long it would take for him to break. Perhaps I should just help that along some. One hand ran over my breast w
DANTE Janina had called me, saying that she needed to speak with my mate and me as soon as possible. So, that was how I found myself sitting in my office with my girl planted firmly on my lap, waiting for her to show up. Her voice had been strained over the phone, so I was immediately on edge, thinking about all of the possible explanations. It could be anything. Janina was always calm, cool, and collected. She was not so much that over the phone. Luckily, we did not have to wait for long for her to show up. “Is everything okay?” I asked her. She sighed and flopped down in a chair. Ever since I had known her, Janina had never looked anything less than polished. Now, however, her hair was slightly mussed, and her eyes held uncertainty and pain as she looked at the two of us. Whatever was wrong weighed heavily on her. “I hope so…” she trailed off, pinching the bridge of her nose. Ziyah hopped up and poured Janina a drink from the bar cart before passing it over to her. Then she pe
DANTE The Kellers, Ashton’s family, had been extremely overwhelmed when they got to the pack. That was definitely understandable given the circumstances. However, they were very appreciative of our help. The suites that we set them up with were close together. We gave the parents a single-bedroom suite. The mated couple and the two sisters ended up with separate two-bedroom suites. Per our instructions, they had their electronics turned off and placed in a tub. There were some people at Nightshade who were gifted with technology. They would be able to ensure that the electronics were completely untraceable. It sucked that we did not know how long this could take, but hopefully it would not take too long. Until Blantay was gone, they would not be safe. We would also have to figure out if the Darkies knew who Ashton’s family was, or if the bitch was just blowing smoke out her ass. ‘Dante, you’ll want to come to the training field,’ Nate linked. I could definitely go for a break, see
ZIYAH So many thoughts were bouncing around the inside of my skull. It seemed that there was an ever-growing list of shit that needed to be done. The Keller family was slowly settling in. Amanda and Nate seemed to have grown closer over the past couple of days. There were definitely some sparks going on there. He was the Cassanova of the group. She seemed to be a serious and responsible type of gal. That combination would definitely balance out. It would be interesting to see their bond develop. Jarin was settling in with Cousin A and Cousin F as he called them. It was so fucking adorable. He had made friends with some of the boys around his age. There were even a couple of girls who chased after him. He was a handsome boy. Plus, Light Fae was an attractive species. I was not conceited. It was a simple fact. The light within us, mixed with our genetics, made our kind visually appealing. Coralynn and Crystal had gone back to Atlanta for the time being. I made sure to send them with
DANTE I watched as Ziyah got ready for her battle with my favorite Granny Fae. Goddess, I was fucking stoked and eager to see this showdown. She was wearing a special top that had extra protection along her chest in order to provide additional coverage for her heart. It was a tank top/shorts combination that came down to mid-thigh. It held tight to her delicious curves. Damn fucking hell, she was sexy and all fucking ours. ‘That she is. Our very own warrior goddess. We’re very lucky bastards,’ Byron said, growling as she put her hair up in a high ponytail. We made our way out to the empty field where this showdown was going to be taking place. They would need plenty of open area since this was combat magic. Not entirely certain what to expect, but I knew that it would be a lot of fucking fun to watch. “What did you do?” she whispered as she surveyed the gathered crowd. “I might have spilled to Elle about what was going on. She told some of their pack. That got to Caiathus who en
ZIYAH I absolutely loved sparring with Grandmother Ayla. It had been far too long since I practiced my combat magic. I loved the fact that she would never take it easy on me because she knew that I was capable of protecting myself. Alive. That was what I felt. Truly and completely alive. It also made me feel empowered, proving to myself that I was not the same Ziyah that Toris tormented day and night, decade after decade. Grandmother Ayla had told me that my ability surpassed hers. She spent three hundred years honing her skills and was taught by her father. The fact that I learned from someone who did not even possess the ability showed that it was truly innate for me. She called it my soul skill. Our species had been given remarkable power that made many things possible. There was potential in each Fae to achieve greatness if they worked hard enough for it. However, select Fae were given the honor of developing a soul skill. They would be drawn to it because it had been imbedded i
