Kacie Jade eyes were filled with un-shed tears, the hurt evident in her face. I knew she didn’t care for me but I didn’t know it was to this extent. Her behavior reminded me of a child throwing a fit. She didn’t like something, she didn’t like that I was their sister or that the others treated me how they would her. She didn’t want to have to help me and didn’t like that they wanted to come to my aid, so she threw tantrum. Except this wasn’t some little tantrum. This fit of hers brought danger to my lands, hurt my people, killed my family, and had blood running through their streets. I couldn’t let this go. I couldn’t forgive her. I can ‘t let her live. It became so clear to me. Our mission hadn’t changed. The three of us set off together to find the witch responsible for all of this death. We’d had our suspicions as I’m sure her sisters did. The one in charge being Jade didn’t change anything. Didn’t she know what this meant?Didn’t she know that this would only end when she died
Kacie “You’re stupid,” Clara said.“What?” Jade asked. “You took what the elders said at face value and armed them with warriors? You’ve pitted yourself against us,” Clara said. “They’re elders, they stand at the top of the world. If anyone can make it happen it’s them. It is the elders and the original alpha that banned us, cursed us,” Jade said. “You fool,” Nyx cried. “What?” Jade asked. “Did you really think they would let you live after doing their bidding? Did you think they wouldn’t see how much power you have, what you can do? Did you think they wouldn’t come after us? Did you think they didn’t know what they were doing when you stepped in for us? You led them straight to us. They’ll use you to get us,” Nyx said. “That’s not what they’re going to do! I have their word,” Jade said. “What is the word of men who would have you rip women from their beds and murder children in their homes? Are you really so naive sister?” Nyx asked. “I thought you of all people would know no
Kacie The words hold power and a definity that could only mean one thing. Looking at Nyx, tears run angrily down her cheeks as she locks Jade in her sights. The golem is now half a man, if you could call it that. Unseeing eyes stare out at me from it’s belly and I feel like I’m going to be sick. Clara sobs by my side and without looking at her I reach out and grab her hand. She doesn’t look away from Jade and I can’t tear my gaze from Jade’s creature. Hands and legs form the it’s body. Some stick out at odd angles and hang down from it’s chest. Someone runs up to the left of Jade twenty feet away. She doesn’t notice him. I glance to the left and am relieved when I find Jake. He stares back at me and relief flashes across his features as he finds me alive and unharmed. His eyes move from me to Jade and as horror fills his eyes, I know what he’s looking at. He’s spotted the creature by her side. As his eyes take in the gruesome beast, I follow his gaze. The golem is fully assembled now
KacieI throw my head back and cry. The metallic taste of Jake’s blood drips into my mouth. Everything wrong is right and everything right is wrong. I don’t know up from down and down from up. The one thing I know to be true is that Jake is dead. He’s gone and he’s not coming back. My soul mourns, my heart breaks, and my mind denies it. But there’s no denying what I see in front of me.I feel it in my soul, in my belly, and I wonder how I’ll be able to keep going without him. We had so much to say, so much to talk about. We didn’t have enough time, there hadn’t been enough time. We only just made up, we didn’t even get to tell him that we loved him as much as we loved each other. I didn’t get to say sorry for what I’d said when I was angry. I didn’t get the chance to say I didn’t mean any of it. I didn’t get to tell him that I didn’t care who biologically fathered the child because they would both be it’s dad. There was still so many things I needed to do with him. I thought I had mor
Kacie Nyx took a step forward, a step closer to Jade. Blood and tears dripped from her eyes. Jade cried and coughed as she choked on blood. It spurted from her mouth and stained her clothes. She lifted her eyes to watch Nyx and her lower lip trembled. She mouthed Nyx's name but Nyx didn’t let up. She took another step, bringing herself in front of Jade. Jade reached out and grabbed Nyx. Her eyes filled with crazed fear as she clawed at her. Jade knew what was happening, she knew what Nyx was doing. Jade knew Nyx would prove her previously said words wrong. Nyx stood there and let Jade claw at her. “Please! Sister, please, don’t!” Jade cried. “I’m sorry,” Nyx wept. “Don’t. I’m scared, Nyxy. Please. Don’t,” Jade begged. Nyx whimpered at the nickname. Blood filled Jade’s violet eyes and she swiped at the blood and smeared it across her cheeks. She was crazed as she wailed and threw her head back. Her hands reached out and scratched at Nyx as blood seeped from her ears and down her ne
KacieThe three of us took a deep breath to steady ourselves and only when we thought we were okay did we exhale. We looked at each other, eyes bloodshot from tears, closed stained with blood, and hearts heavy. The three of us had all lost something, someone today, but the battle hadn’t been won yet. There was still more for us to do. I looked to them for strength as they looked to me. Only when we saw understanding reflected in the other’s eyes did we move back. Clara took a deep breath and swiped at the stray tears.“Let’s finish this,” Clara said.Her voice was raw with emotion and my heart wept for her and the shitty situation she was in. Even though I knew the pain it caused her, I needed Jade’s death more than I needed air in my lungs. She looked into my eyes and there was a surety there, determination. We would have revenge. We would get what we needed today. We would leave picking up the pieces for another day.“It’ll be easier from here on out,” Nyx promised. “Now that…” She
Kacie My mind is made up as I turn my focus on the elders. Instead of focusing on Jake, I focused on the fact that these four men would be dead by the end of the day. Nyx takes a step forward and they watch her suspiciously. When she’s taken five steps one of the elders raises his hand to stop her. Nyx clasps her hands in front of her and holds her chin high. I swallow as I lower my gaze to my mate on his knees. “Release our Alpha,” Nyx demands. “We don’t take orders from the devils spawns,” the brown eyed elder says. “Now now, Tobias,” one of the blue eyed elders said. “Let’s be civil.” “Yes, Killian,” Tobias answered. “Forgive me.” “Civil? Civil?! How is anything you’ve done here today?” I asked. “A necessary sacrifice,” Killian said. “Sometimes we need to sacrifice the lesser for the greater good,” Tobias said. “Sacrifice? You murdered them in cold blood!” I screamed. “Kacie,” Nyx said. “Why? What reason was good enough to justify murdering women and children in their own
Kacie I cocked my head to the side as I stared at Charles. I fought the urge to look at Viktor. I didn’t want to draw the elders attention to my weakened mate. I needed his focus to remain on me. I needed it to stay this way. His words didn’t make sense. This was the first time I’ve seen him. “What are you to me? Why would I be a regret of a stranger?” I asked. “You were young when I dropped you off at Blood Moon,” Charles said. My steps faltered and my brow furrowed as I processed his words. How did he know about the Blood Moon pack? How did he know about Ken’s pack? The only answer I came up with caused my blood to run cold. This only meant one thing. “No,” I murmured. “Yes. Your mother had been a lying whore! I had thought it weird that the Moon Goddess had mated me to a human. I loved her as she loved me, or so I fucking thought. Once upon a time, I thought I could be happy and be a family man. But then… you happened. I’d loved you. I was proud to be your father… but that all
