Caleb-
I wasn’t sure how to respond to her. Could what she be saying be true or was it that she was afraid of losing me. I wanted her words to be true.
“Did you hear me?” Kyra asks when I had yet to respond.
“I heard you,” I told her.
I stepped away from her, needing to put space between us. If what she was saying was true and she truly meant what she was saying, then I was about to get everything I dreamed about. Could it be that she didn’t truly know what she wanted?
I felt as if I needed to be careful with how I responded. Why was it that just when she said the very words I have dreamed of hearing, I was filled with disbelief? Looking at her, she appeared to still be trying to grasp what she just revealed.
“Why?” I questioned.
“Why what?” She responded, her brows pulled together.
“Actually, never mind.” I said, as soon as I realized how stupid it was for
Kyra-Shortly after entering my small library, Caleb and I both sat down on the large bean bag I had still sitting in the middle of the room. I grabbed the book I had found, that told a little bit about the history of Caleb’s bloodline. It had helped that my mother was able to get the name of his ancestor for me.“I am still looking for more, but I found some information about your great, great, great, great, great grandfather. According to this, your bloodline stems from the beginning. His name was Cronus, he was the god of time. He overthrew his father, Uranus, but it is unclear as to why. There is speculation that it was at his mother’s request. There was a prophecy about one of his sons were going to overcome him, so he ended up eating them.” I paused after saying that, as I felt the urge to vomit.It didn’t last long though. As soon as the feeling passed, I continued. As disgusting as this all was, it was also fascinating. It a
Caleb-“What is it?” I asked, my mind was whirling with multiple scenarios.“Apparently the curse was already broken. I mean, I remembered seeing something about breaking the curse, but I had just skimmed over it. Originally there had been a curse placed, but it was broken years later. It doesn’t say much about how it was broken.” Kyra spoke.Frown lines started to appear on her beautiful face. Seeing her getting worked up over my situation, made me realize just how much she did care about me. I almost wanted to tell her not to worry about it, since I didn’t want to cause her stress.I wanted to know more about my history, but at what cost? The more I learned, the more I didn’t understand. What she was telling me made sense, but it also confused me to no end. I just had more unanswered questions in a way.The worst part of it all was that I didn’t even know what questions I was supposed to ask. All I
Kyra-I let Caleb lead me up the stairs, even though I had no idea what he was planning. Oddly enough, things just felt natural with him, after I put down my defenses that is. For a moment I thought he was taking me to his room.When we stopped just next to the door that led to my room, I stared at the door. I still couldn’t bring myself to enter the room, even with Caleb standing next to me. Looking over at Caleb, he was watching me carefully.“What are we doing here?” I asked.“I have noticed you still haven’t gone in the room. If we are going to give this a real go, you need to face it.” Caleb said, his gaze drilling into me as if he was seeing into my soul.“What makes you think I haven’t been in the room? You haven’t been here for two weeks.” I defended myself.It wasn’t that I wanted to get defensive, I just hated that he called me out on it so easily. Was I really that
Hunter-“You think you are smart, don’t you?” The sound of a female voice rang out.I couldn’t see the female, but I knew who it was. For months I have been playing her game, trying to get her to think that I was going to agree to her terms. I had made myself go crazy from it also.There were days that maybe I thought I really did cave. Keeping my act and reality separate became more and more difficult as the days seemed to run together. She wanted my loyalty, which I would never give her, but when I had decided to play along in a sense, I realized it was a bad idea.I have found myself on occasions believing the words I spoke as I tried to convince her she was getting inside my head. The last time she had been here I had even offered my body to her. Thankfully she had turned it down.I hated that I was lowering myself to keep up this act. Nothing else I have tried to get free was working. The more time that passed the more
Hunter-“What do you want with Caleb?” I asked, while I was trying to think of a way out of this.“I want him gone.” She stated.“Why? What does Caleb have to do with you?” I asked.“Because he is an unknown entity that I don’t like. For some reason, since he has returned to Kyra, his future is unknown to my sisters. When one possesses the powers of a God but isn’t a God, it is troublesome for us. He is not held down by the same laws that we are, which makes him a danger to us all.” She said as if she was becoming bored with the conversation already.“What do you mean?” I inquired, my mind trying to make sense of everything.She went on to tell me about Cronus and her father, as well as what all happened for her father to become the God that we all knew. She explained that along the line, Cronus had slept with many others and created many children. Along those children w
Kyra-Sleeping in the guest room wasn’t turning out the way I thought it would. I wasn’t sure how long I laid in bed, but I couldn’t fall asleep. Nothing I have tried has worked.For probably the millionth time, I tossed and turned until I was laying on my right side. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t get my mind to settle. It wasn’t that I was thinking about anything in particular either.Sighing, I reached for my phone. Idly, I scrolled through my phone looking for something to do. Checking the time, I figured everyone was probably asleep except for whoever was on patrol currently.I couldn’t bother them since they were tasked with keeping alert, even though I was sure none of them would mind if I bothered them. I looked through the games on my phone I had, which weren’t many, but none seemed appealing.Not wanting to bother anyone, I thought about going to my art studio to work on a painting I was d
Caleb-I knew I should stop this, but she felt so good pressed against my body. She was my weakness. I doubted I could tell her no even if asked.I wanted to question her, yet I didn’t at the same time. Whatever had brought on this, I just wanted to enjoy it. I had considered separating the two of us, but I couldn’t bring myself to do so.Clearing my mind, focused on her lips as they moved against mine. Moving my hands up her arms, I enjoyed the warmth of her skin. My hands moved to her jawline, where I caressed her cheeks with my thumbs.She moaned against my mouth, driving me instantly insane with lust. She was naked against my body, yet I was doing nothing to take her. Throwing caution to the wind, I turned us both around until her back was facing the bed.Guiding her backward, I stopped when I felt her bump slightly against the side of the bed. Without needing encouragement, she lowered to the bed, pulling me with her. Placing one k
Kyra- For the first time, since I can’t remember when, I slept peacefully. When I woke in Caleb’s arms this morning, I had found him in probably the most awkward sleeping position. I had tried to wake him so he could get more comfortable, but he just wrapped his arms tighter around me. I didn’t get out of bed right away, instead, I just lay there. I expected to be plagued with regret or something, considering I hadn’t wanted a repeat of recent events. However, I felt like things were going in the direction they were meant to go. After everything that has happened, I started to realize it wasn’t the bond between us that made me feel the way I do. Not that it didn’t play a role in things, but I could truly believe that what I felt for Caleb, was more than just the mate bond. I was falling in love with Caleb. Perhaps already have. “I like feeling you happy like this.” I heard Ace’s voice flood my mind. “Is it wrong for me to think I could be happ
