I looked around at the now familiar darkness around me. Death would appear soon with the witch that I had burned. I would have to endure the pain of her soul burning and bargain with Death to give me life. I sighed. The last time he had me here for two days though it had felt like an eternity. I wasn’t looking forward to the soul burning part, it was a pain I couldn’t describe even if I wanted to.“Kiran, what a lovely surprise!” Death said as he appeared and walked closer to me.“I’m sure,” I said to him and crossed my arms over my chest.Death laughed at me. “You might have me believe that you want to die.”“I don’t want to die,” I said to him. I was sure that mere words wouldn’t convince him but with Death you could never be sure. The man was a bastard.“You keep on coming back so frequently that I might have to disagree with you,” he looked at me quizzically. “Sit.” A chair appeared and I sat down. It wasn’t like I had much of a choice and not pissing him off right off the bat see

It felt like another eternity before I came back to my senses and grabbed my chest. There was no wound, no blood and I could feel my heart still beating. Anger spread through my veins and I glared at Death as I got to my feet once again.“I didn’t kill him with magic!” I screamed and he wagged his finger at me as he smiled.“Oh, but you did, Kiran, his heart was still beating when you set it alight!” He laughed as he looked at me and the realization registered in my eyes that he wasn’t lying. He alternated between letting me burn and leaving me alone to recover from the pain deep inside to ripping my chest open, over and over again.I couldn’t take much more of this and I wanted it to end. He finally came back and watched me as I lay on the ground, breathing hard as I stopped burning. My mind was playing tricks on me, making me hear Adara’s voice, feeling her anguish but that couldn’t be right. I was in the realm of death and she wasn’t.“We should really stop meeting like this,” he s

Malachi was quiet as he drove back to Jessica’s house. He slammed his hand against the steering wheel as anger started building up in him. They were in the dark garage, still sitting in the car and he could feel Jessica’s gaze on him. His anger was directed at Kiran, at his recklessness and the fear that had gripped him, thinking that he was losing him.Her emotions were all over the place, as was his. He was frustrated with Kiran. He loved him most in this world but Kiran was also infuriating and he struggled to deal with it, mainly because he kept placing himself in danger and the thought of losing him was one Malachi wasn’t ready to face.“He only did what he thought was right,” Jessica said softly.“Don’t try and justify his actions to me,” Malachi said angrily. He didn’t like the anger in his voice but he had to let it out somehow.“I’m not. I’m just telling you how it is,” she said as they both got out of the car and Malachi slammed the side door shut behind him.“It’s not just

Malachi found Kiran in his study, sitting in his chair, looking out through the window. He turned around when Malachi closed the door behind him and he sighed. Kiran looked exhausted, still a little pale and so sad that some of his anger dissipated.“I made a choice, Dad,” Kiran said.“Yes, Kiran. It was a choice you made and now you have to live with the consequences of your choices,” Malachi said.“Just let it all out, Dad,” Kiran said.“You lied to me. You went off on your own to kill Vincent! What if something had gone wrong? You just decide to do these things and you come home and you die while I stand there listening to your heart stop!” Malachi’s voice had grown louder as he spoke.“I’m sorry.”“Sorry isn’t good enough! You can’t just rush off whenever you feel like it! What if you hadn’t come back?” Malachi’s hands gripped the visitor seat in front of him.Kiran stood up as anger burned in his own eyes. “But I did come back! I killed him and it’s over now!”“This time, yes, wh

Adara returned home just before dinner, much later than she normally did and I wondered if it was to avoid me or because of her plus one. It hurt to think of that plus one but it was my own fault. I had pushed her away, again and again.I was an idiot, but I had set out to do one thing and I had done it. I wasn’t sorry that I’d lied about going to Florida. Vincent had been my problem, not theirs, and I’d rather be damned than endanger her.She hadn’t talked to me when she got home and we all sat at the table in the kitchen eating dinner. It seemed to be the new routine for the twins. They ate dinner with us at the table, Norah feeding Saga and Adara feeding Kai while they ate in between. I sat at the head of the table, in my own seclusion as they sat at the other end, away from me.“Thanks Norah, I’ll be up just now to put Kai to sleep, you can take Saga tonight,” Adara said to her with a smile as Norah took both babies up to their room. She turned to look at me and her smile disappea

I sat looking at James for a few moments before I answered him. He was important to me but with an Alpha Beta relationship it was like a slap in the face and me saying that I didn’t trust his abilities to have my back.“I know but I could never do that to you. Don’t you see? I love you like a brother and you just started your own family. How could I in good conscience take you away from that?” I asked him and he nodded his head in understanding.“Okay, I get that part and thank you for that, because I actually do want to live long enough to see them grow up and get married and all that stuff that I didn’t have with Garrick,” he said to me. “Why didn’t you tell Malachi at least, he’s your dad, Kiran, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for you,” he added.“Exactly, the last time he took a bullet for me in the neck, a bullet meant to kill me and he took it,” I said to him.“Isn’t that his choice to make?” James asked me as he emptied his glass and refilled it.“No, I won’t let anyone choose

“I would appreciate it if you could at least put your own cup away, I’m not your maid,” Adara said to me irritably as I came down the hall from the study to the kitchen. “Yeah, I was up early, sorry,” I said and smiled at her.“And not walk around half naked,” she added irritably.“Sorry,” I said to her again but she didn’t acknowledge me. I sat down at the counter where she stood on the other side looking at her laptop. She still had to feel at least something if it bothered her to see me with no shirt on. I kept on looking at her until she looked up and sighed.“I’m sorry,” I said to her. Her eyes never made contact with mine and I might as well have been invisible.She closed her laptop and looked at me briefly, then she turned around and walked to her car. I sighed. Progress was slow but I smiled, today she had looked at me, perhaps in a week she’d start talking to me.We kept up this cat and mouse game for the next two weeks until she had to talk to me.

I walked up the dirt road and took my shirt off to wipe the sweat from my face and I saw the car parked in the driveway. I stood looking at the rental and tried to decipher what type of man rented a flashy convertible. I tucked the end of my shirt into my waistband and walked inside, Adara’s plus one was here. I took a deep breath. I didn’t know how I was going to walk into my own house and face this other man, a man that probably already had feelings for my wife. ‘Be calm, don’t be yourself,’ I said to myself as I entered the kitchen.I stopped in my tracks and almost laughed out loud. I could hear them talking in the kitchen. Adara’s plus one was Caitlyn. I knew what I was about to do wouldn’t win me any points with Adara, but I couldn’t help it. I walked to the fridge and took out a bottle of water.I could feel them looking at me as I stood there and emptied the bottle and threw it in the trash.

“That spell only took him to his knees, he killed Vincent after that using more magic to pin him down, and then he… then he…” Bryan said.“Then he what?” Malachi shouted as Bryan kept looking down. Malachi didn’t like the fact that Bryan looked afraid. Malachi had never thought he would see the man afraid of anything, but he was now. “He ripped Vincent’s chest open with his hands and ripped his heart out, he burned his heart, smiling as he watched it burn,” Bryan said finally and Malachi looked shocked.“Kiran’s not sadistic,” he said as he stared at Bryan. There had to be some mistake. This was not his son. “He was, Malachi. He was different, magic is changing him and if he doesn’t stop using this kind of magic, he’ll kill himself. You only get so many chances in Helheim,” Bryan said and Malachi glared at him.“What are you talking about? Is he dying?” Malachi asked him, his hands shaking. He turned to look at Jessica but she lowered her gaze to the floor. She wasn’t going to be th
