She looked down at her hands, they were trembling. She took in air and it looked like she was in pain from just breathing. Eighteen seconds of breathing in that gas must have done a lot of things to herShe closed her eyes and ran her fingers through her hair.“Now." Nax said and a name displayed on all the walls of her cube." Timothy... Who is Timothy? " I asked myself.Immediately she saw it, she broke down and started crying.“Time is running Rainee, we don't have all day."RAINEE.My hands started to shake as I saw the name I tried so hard to forget. A name that sometimes chases me from sleep. How did they know, there was no way they would have known!.My hands were shaking and I could feel all eyes on me. The name alone triggered the memory and all lives were at stake here, most especially mine. I could feel my insides melting. I had to talk.“It was many years ago, in college. Why do you even need this information?." I asked Nax, the fucking devil. I hated him with all my heart
I was done with speaking but the topic was still displayed on the walls.“When you say people, you mean?."I felt my heart tearing and I wanted the gas to be released, I wanted to die.“Children."Nax paced the floor.“As everyone is listening, why don't you tell all of us about... "The topic on the screen changed and now it displayed: 'Why you got fired by Grant Harlowe. 'I had said many bad things, I wasn't afraid to say this one.“I really did take the twenty five thousand dollars from Mr Grant but I returned it. At that point I was a petty thief, no longer a cheap whore.... But I couldn't take the money. I couldn't. "I turned to Nax, I was pleading at this point. I couldn't look anybody in the eye, not the strangers that stood in their cubes, not Felix or Nolaine or the twins, I couldn't.“Now, it's your turn."I felt the temperature in the glass change and I knew that my cube was now sealed, I could speak but no one would hear.I turned to Vinx, he looked at me and I turned my
I turned away and my eyes fell on one of the strangers, it was a young famale, I noticed that all of them had cloaks covering their faces and in the angle she was at, Felix and my mother would not be able to see her.I started to work everyone's angle, I noticed that everyone was placed systematically. I was put in the middle, everyone could see me and I could see everyone but Vinx could not see everyone, Nolaine could see almost everybody but not everyone, My mother could see none of the strangers…This thing that Nax and Zandrey and Yoda were doing, it was bigger than I thought. How impactful was it going to be? They said we would all be different people when we walk out of the cube. When was that going to be? I didn't even know what time it was but certainly it should be after midnight by now.This was not what I expected my birthday to be like. I never had big happy birthdays before but I had peace... At least I wasn't in a cube. Nax leaned on my cube and knocked on it. I looked
“You would do anything the moon goddess asks, why?."“Because she's the giver of life."“Why did you marry Latoye?."“Because she wanted him dead and no one could kill him. No one could get close to him. I married him to kill him."“Did you?."“Yes."The name changed to Aaron. Aaron was Vinx's and Kalum's father. For the first time I saw an expression on their faces, it was shock.I never met their father. My mother rarely spoke of him. Now she was going to say something we might have never heard before.“Were you instructed to marry him?."“Yes."“Did you?."“Yes."“Why was the reason you married him."“Because the union was said to bring in strong kings. "“You married him to kill him after you conceived the kings?."“Y-yes."Fear sucked my breath out of my lungs like a vacuum.“Did you kill him?."“Y- you know the answer to that!." She yelled balling her hands into fists and hitting it on the floor.“I want to hear you say it, we... want to hear you say it."“I did, I killed him."
“if you ever think of turning that cube red..." Felix said through gritted teeth, I had never seen him angry and if this was his anger, I never ever want to see it…ever again.He wasn't directing that anger at me but I felt the fear it was instilling. My heart swelled because he was directing that anger for me.Nax disappeared from under Felix's grip, there was now a very big hole in his cube and I could see his his finger marks on Nax's neck. Nax would not survive that.In a blink of an eye Nax was perfectly fine, his neck was as good as new.“I learnt long ago that if I was going to play with fire, I had to prepare so I won't get burnt. I wasn't expecting you to do that but I wasn't expecting you to spare me either. I'm playing a dangerous game by using Rainee as leverage but as the twins confessed very easily, please I need the same cooperation from you or I will really turn her cube red"Nax cracked his neck and turned to me.“Remember Felix, if you break out of your cube, the ga
NOLAINEThere was evidence that the three of them could break out of the cube but they did not want to do it because it would end up hurting Rainee and they didn't want to lose her. At first when they talked about the mate bond they felt, I was skeptical, now I saw the evidence that they cared for her. The three of them were ruthless and merciless, I wasn't even an exception. I know that we would have been killing all of Lantharn if it weren't for Rainee in a cube. The bracelets around their wrists surpressed their power but It didn't take it all, it couldn't take it all. The ruler was right, they could wipe Lantharn away with half a thought. Why did they bring us here? The confession everyone told made me see them in a new light but the reason we were here must be bigger than this mere confession. Vinx, Kalum and Felix were inpatient…they wanted to hold Rainee. I had studied their body language since I was here, they were really in love with her. I don't think she knows it yet. I
“Marie... Marietta, I really don't want you dead now, your time is almost up."“I smashed her head with a stone. I didn't know how it happened, I was too scared that I had to kill her. I didn't know where I found the strength to lift that heavy rock but I did it. I was a weak omega and I didn't know I had it in me to commit murder. After it happened, I understood that I was either going to be killed or put in jail for life. My life was going to be a big mess. I wanted to bury her but she would be sniffed out in no time and my scent would be resting on her when they find her. So I decided to pack my bags and run.Felix and i would start off somewhere, where nobody would know us. I ran inside to get him but he was gone. The blocks were still there. I searched everywhere for him, I was so devastated.I didn't know what happened to him, if someone had taken him or he ran off. I thought he had been killed, I thought so many things. I couldn't stay there, I had to run away but I came by eve
FELIXI turned to Cynthia and it was hard to connect with the truth. The truth that I was slowly began to detest. All my life I've always wanted to have a mother, and at some point I felt I was wishing for too much and demanding too much so intead I limited my expectations not to having her but just finding out who she was.All I wanted to know was who the fuck brought me into this world and now that I knew, I really wish I didn't.I wish I could tell my past self to stop worrying that it wasn't worth it.“I don't believe it." I said, my voice was limited to only inside the cube. I wanted to get out of here, I wanted the ground to suddenly swallow me entirely. It wouldn't be a tragedy. Vinx turned to me and I met his stare, I could see the words in his eyes, the questions, there were too many. I'm his brother, he's my brother, we're brothers... Wait does that make me and Rainee siblings?.I turned to Rainee and she was staring at the floor in thought, was she thinking the same thing?
It was scary until I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, it was Nax. I froze and stopped running. He closed the gap between us and pulled me into a hug. I wondered how he got here and how he knew I was here. “Nax?." I asked, I couldn't believe my brother was really here. There were footsteps behind me and I saw Nolaine rush forward. She tackled Yoda to the ground and pinned her there. “I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to do that." Nolaine said and I laughed. My smile was quickly wiped away from my face when I caught the sight of Felix's hair burning in the darkness. “It's okay..." Nax whispered. “What are they doing here?." I asked taking a step back, my voice was shaky. Vinx and Kalum were with Felix and they were all staring at me as if they couldn't wait to hold me. “I'm going to kill you all " Yoda spat. For a second, I was distracted. I turned to see Nolaine holding tightly to her but she was struggling to get out of her arms. “What happened to her?." I da
YODA. Hunter is laying asleep on the bed. He's a very heavy sleeper, especially when we just have sex He's so peaceful, I watch him as I get dressed. I want to kiss him but I don't want to risk him waking up. I grab my jacket and wear it. I think if my sister Rainee and then Nax, I'm doing this for the both of them. I'm doing this for all of us. I look at my mate one more time before slipping out of the house. I'm going to kill Angelique.***I watch my father leave the palace building. When I go inside the lobby, I'm not surprised that a lot of people aren't inside. I slip up the stairs and into the elevator. I walk into my father's office, about to check his computer to find out where he keeps her but i see her sitting on the couch, sipping something that looks like tea. I stop dead in my tracks, she's staring at me and I'm staring at her. There's a dagger in it's holster, I prepared all the ways I was going to kill her, but I can't move. Not because I don't want to kill h
I think of my mother. The memories of her are so peaceful. she's always smiling and sweet, she's everything I always idolized. She's everything I ever looked up to. Now, the memories of her is sneering at me from the tent. That night.. Rainee is holding me tight and she's crying.Nax is standing in front of us, ready to protect us if any of them chose to attack because he doesn't trust them any longer. They're not meant to be trusted. I grit my teeth and feel like sinking my claws into her neck and watching my father's face while I do it.She's smirking at me, with cold hatred in her eyes. She's a cruel mother fucker, I would kill her if I get the chance.I hear the door opening and closing. I open my eyes, Hunter is smiling at me. “What?." “I have a surprise for you." He says“What is it?." I ask him, there's a mischievous glint in his eyes and the mischievous side of hunter is slowly unfolding and it's becoming nastier by the second.I can't say I'm complaining though, I'm not.He
CONNER I return from school and open the door. I'm expecting to see my mother sitting alone or with a group of her friends but instead I see Four muscular, ripped, handsome men and a beautiful, hot woman in my living room. I stand there staring at them before turning around to see if I entered into the wrong house. Nope, right house. I take a step forward and their eyes turn to me, all eyes. Jason is sitting on the stool and I can see the excitement in his eyes. I don't know what it is and I'm scared. I'm scared because I think it's because I hit that man yesterday night, that's why they're here. Are they going to take jason and me away?. Will they put us in prison?“Conn, come inside." My mother says. “I didn't know any of that, she told us how she got here and my son just told you how he found her.... She insisted on leaving this morning. She said she would find her way, I tried stopping her but she's stubborn." Mother says to one man in particular. He looks like the female,
I come into the house, the butler takes my suist case from my hand and he walks away. Rainee comes from the kitchen area wearing a yellow apron. She's so pretty... She's too god damned sexy in that uniform. I try to take my mind off it and try and have a conversation with her but images of what we did that night in the hotel flashes in my head and my cock begin to stand on alert. I curse under my breath as she approaches me, I really hope that she doesn't fucking notice the huge bulge in my pants. I run my hand through my fingers, trying to earse the sound of her moans from my head. It is obvious that she has gotten over it but I'm stuck here, living off a memory of just one night. I should offer her a more permanent job, she decided to take the job only for a month to test waters.. “Hi Mr Zayn." She says with a smile, dear god... I don't even know what to respond. “It's Zayn, please, I think we've grown past you calling me Mr." “But I work for you... You're my boss." I shake m
I walk down the sidewalk, it's late evening and to be honest. It's not easy to get a job. I'm standing in front of a very tall skyscraper and it's the expensive restaurant that Vinx and Kalum bought for me. My name, Rainee is written in bold letters outside. There is a securityan standing outside and he's staring at me suspiciously, as if I'm about to vandalize the property. I own the place! I yell at him in my mindLike a magic trick, I watch Zayn walk out of my restaurant. He's holding a phone to his ear and he's talking about some business deal... “I'll give you seven hundred and fifty for it, no more..." His eyes lands on mine and I suck in breath. “Hold on man, I'll call you back." He slips his phone in his pocket and I don't think he ended the call, the other person in the other enf of the line would have to end it. He looks exactly the same as he looked when I last saw him. “Hi " he says and he walks to me. “I can't believe I found you " he whispers as he pulls me in
RAINEEIt's late afternoon, the sun is very hot and the wind is non existent right now. I didn't want to go back to the city of Vandah so Jason dropped me off in the city I am most familiar with.Although it Is not far from Vandah, it Is filled with humans and I know that it would be hard for Vinx, Kalum or Felix to find me. For a very long time now, I haven't thought about it. I have tried my best not to. I lost my cat in the bar and I guess I was not going to see it again, hopefully it gets returned back to them... Hopefully. It's a really beautiful vehicle but I low-key want it to get stolen because of the pain in my chest. I stare at a bunch of cakes that is displayed in the window of the shop. I feel a deep craving and desire for the cakes but I don't have any money on me. I should find a job. How hard would it be to find a job? Well, I guess I had to find out.***NAX“When I find my sister, she's coming back with me. One day and she already went missing." “I dare you Nax
“What if we get in trouble." “So we should just let that bad man abuse and assault the female?" He used his fingers to hit my forehead. “What did your mother teach you?." He asks sarcastically before walking forward My heart is hammering in my chest and I follow closely behind him. I stumble on a rock but instead of kicking it away, I actually pick it up and hold it really close. I am so scared but because my brother is calm and put together, I feel confident enough. “Hey..." My brother shouts and the man turns away from the girl and looks at us. “What do you kids think you're doing on my property?." I would not consider my brother a kid because he's nineteen already. Secondly, my mother is wrong because this man did not vacate this place because of a poor business choice or bankruptcy, he vacated because the pervert wanted a hidden place to do bad things to people. ***RAINEEThe man returns, he enters and he's wondering how I got the bag off my face. He does not look pleased
CONNERI yell as I run out of the warehouse because somehow, it was so terrifying as she met my eyes and locked eye contact. I run as fast as I could back home and everybody tells me I'm a fast runner, I put it to the test today. I open the door of the house and peek inside. “Conner!." My mother yell as I step in. To be honest, I was so scared that I didn't see her walk towards me. “Where the hell have you been, I have been so worried!." She said pulling me and shaking my shoulders. My mother is not taller than me anymore but she's pretty strong. “What's wrong? You look... Did you have any drugs ?." “No mum! Dear goddess, how would you even say a thing like that." I say pushing her hands away from my shoulders. “Then why do you look like that?." She asks me“Like what?." I retort I wonder if I should tell her about the girl? She would be pissed at me for going that far. But the young woman was obviously in trouble. I feel so bad for her. She would die if I don't say somethin
