The Fourfold Desires Chapter 28
Fiona’s POV“How dare you!” I gritted out with barely restrained rage while angry tears slid free from my eyes down to my cheeks in a steady flow. The loud slap echoed through the tiny stall, freezing time for a moment. My chest heaved with anger as adrenaline surged through my veins, my hand stinging from the force of the impact. My palm still burned from the impact, as if my anger had physically manifested and leaped onto Jin’s face. "How fucking dare you?!" I glared at him, my eyes blazing and my lips trembling with words I couldn't yet form except for those words I gritted out earlier. My body trembled—not with fear, but with the barely contained rage that had been building inside me for what felt like an eternity. What was up with every one of them today? First Jin and Soren, then Kai and Lyn. I couldn’t fucking keep up. Jin staggered back a step, one hand flying to his cheek. His wide eyes betrayed his shock, pupils dilated like a deer caught in headlights. His mouth hung slig

Fiona’s POVTears broke free like a water escaping a poorly constructed dam, flowing uncontrollably as I wailed, choking on heart wrenching sobs that rattled my fragile frame. I never quite thought I’d see myself like this again. I thought I had managed to keep my demons locked away. But they have been locked up for so long they were clamoring for escape and Jin’s assault was the key they needed to escape and once free, they became relentless. Sinister voices whispered dark thoughts into my brain, digging out the insecurities I had buried deep in my subconscious. Anxiety and Panic shrieked into my ears like angry banshees, sinking claws of uncertainty and discomfort into my body while Fear breathed its black fog into my heart, it’s tendrils wrapped around my already battered heart to squeeze out whatever feeling I had left until I was a shattered shell. Jin’s voice cut through the haze like a cold blade, sharp and invasive, yet it was tinged with something similar to uncertainty and

Fiona’s POVThe moment I walked out from the restroom and Jin’s oppressive presence, I heaved a sigh of relief. It felt like the burden I’ve been carrying in my heart for most of my life had lessened, allowing me to breathe. It felt good honestly to get rid of that weight and it felt absolutely divine to tell Jin where exactly he could stick it. So why did my chest feel heavy and why does my feel heavy with each step I took as I stepped into the open. The campus was nearly desolate, a shadow of its usual lively self. The golden glow of the lampposts stretched long shadows across the cobblestone paths, their light reflecting faintly on the colorful leaves of the trees. It was well past dinner time now, the quiet environment was only punctuated by the occasional shuffle of hurried footsteps. A few students, clutching armfuls of books or hastily zipped backpacks, darted toward the library like moths drawn to a flickering flame. Others moved with measured steps, murmuring softly as they

Fiona’s POVThe inside of my mouth was swollen from the brutality of Helena’s slap—a testament of how vile a person she truly was. The sickening sounds of flesh slapping against flesh rented the night’s air as more vicious slaps exploded across my face. I caught through the hazy fog clouding my brain and my vision several discreet, uncomfortable looks some of the people in her group shared but none dare say a word, not willing to risk their necks for me and face Helena’s wrath. Cowards, that’s what they were. A bunch of cowards who would scurry away at the slightest sight of danger. Even Garrett seemed uncertain about his sister’s ire but he remained silent. I felt it. Helena backhanded me heavily for the last time with such force, that I was knocked off my feet, crashing face flat against the cold asphalt, her heavy pants of exhaustion feathered my already ringing ears. I coughed out blood before rolling on my back to stare at the obsidian night sky dotted with a handful of dim star

Fiona’s POVBeg for mercy? Not a fucking chance in hell. I’ve begged for mercy so many times all my life that the words have lost their meaning. My life was like an endless abyss, a pit I can never crawl out of, no matter how much I claw at the sides. No matter how much I begged for it to be over. Hopeless. That’s the word, isn’t it? That’s what this is. This existence. It was something I’d never wish an enemy. The utter feeling of hopelessness and despair. The constant alertness that came with it all was truly disheartening. What good really came out of becoming Fated with four of the most powerful alphas if I lived the life of a wretched leper; unloved and ostracized, yet beaten to pulp and becoming an object of envy when shown the slightest attention. Was it worth the dehumanization and humiliation that came with it? I never for once begged for any of this. I didn’t ask for their attentions. I didn’t ask for a surprise grand confession. I didn’t ask anyone to do anything. All I w

Fiona’s POVKai? What was he doing here? I stared at his angry profile in shock. I must be dreaming or hallucinating. That was the only way any of this made sense. It was the only way I could explain why he held me in his arms like I was the most precious thing to him, and it was a lovely feeling I had forgotten. The sensation of being held with warmth and love was something I haven’t experienced in a long time. Kai’s unique heady scent engulfed my senses, numbing everything and everyone as I clung to him, focusing and greedily inhaling his scent like it was an addictive drug. “Fiona? Sweetheart can you stand, or does it hurt everywhere?” Kai whispered softly against my hair, holding me close, not minding the bloody mess I made on his shirt. Sweetheart. I never liked using endearments on anyone, neither did I like it being used on me. There was always something about using it that rubbed me off the wrong way. I don’t know why, but it grated my nerves whenever people used it on eac

Fiona’s POVVile.That was the only thing I could use to describe how utterly disgusting Helena was. There was nothing else I could possibly use to describe how extremely rancid the girl was and I was sure the rest of her group thought so too. Garret, Helena’s brother, who stood a few feet away from the spectacle, stared dumbfoundedly at his sister like she had grown a monstrous face over night. And I could bet my money that he, including the two girls who Helena had ordered to assault me, heavily regretted their actions tonight. Although I could tell Garrett already felt an instant regret the moment he has begged his sister to stop and she didn’t. But that didn’t excuse him from the crime. Had he simply let me go when I pleaded none of this would have happened. He could have simply told his sister a lie about seeing me and that would have been that.My attention flickered back to the girl standing in front of the group like a reluctant sacrifice, shivering in fear under the weight

Fiona’s POV“Are you certain you’re alright?”“Yes I’m fine.” I gritted out through the pain, struggling to force back the urge to grunt from the pain bombarding my entire body with every step I took. I resisted the urge to lean heavily against Kai, that would make him have hauling me over his shoulder and into the hospital within the blink of an eye.Kai watched me skeptically from the corner of his eye as he followed my ginger steps slowly. He had dismissed Helena’s group with a sound warning which bothered greatly on a threat, warning them to stay away from me for their own sake if not they won’t have only him to reckon with; he’ll involve but Jin, Soren and Lyn. The mere mentioning of their names struck fresh terror in their hearts as they all blanched white in fear. Vanessa who seemed on the verge of fainting, begged for my forgiveness and swore to never harm me in anyway under Kai’s severe glare. I watched as Garrett came forward to scrape Vanessa off the ground —her legs were

Fiona’s POVThe moment Lyn arrived, the air seemed to shift, turning sharp and heavy with his presence. His footsteps echoed against the tiled floor, each step firm and deliberate. My heart pounded in my chest as I looked up at him. His usually charming,, playful face was now a mask of cold fury. His pale complexion had drained further, but his eyes—those dark, piercing eyes—burned with something terrifying.He took in the mess around us—the broken chair, the scattered books, my tearful, broken expression and his face darkened further. His lips curled downward, and his voice, low and sharp like a blade slicing through ice, sent a shiver down my spine.“Who,” he bit out, his words slow and deliberate, “gave you the courage to cause trouble right under my nose?”The room fell into a suffocating silence. The group of girls, who just moments ago had been so full of confidence, now shrank back. Even their ringleader, the one who had mouthed off tome first, looked pale. But she still stra

Fiona’s POVThe news about the four Alphas fierce competition for me intensified, spreading like wild fire around the entire school. And with the popularity and rumors came new enemies I knew nothing about. I haven’t seen Helena much ever since I resumed school, and rumors of she and Jin’s untimely break up was gossiped about until went stale. I heard she transferred departments so that was why I rarely saw her. Unfortunately, her suddenly transferring majors left her old clique without a leader. Which was a relief considering the fact that I didn’t have to any other encounters with her. That didn’t mean the trouble stopped. I've been feeling uneasy all morning and had somehow gotten used to stares and whispers. But the moment I stepped into the corridor leading to the library, I felt it—the shift in the air, the weight of unwelcome stares pressing down on me. I wasn’t alone.I barely had time to register the approaching footsteps before a group of girls blocked my path. At the cen

Fiona’s POVJin’s confession filled my brain all day, distracting me through lectures, while having lunch with Rowan. I still hadn’t given him an answer. And then there was, Kai. His persistence was something to be admired, if not entirely irritating. I can’t mention how many instances I have gone out of my comfort zone to avoid him. “Fiona, he’s here again,” Rowan teased spearing a forkful of salad onto her mouth, wagging her brows impishly.“Don’t even start,” I muttered, rubbing my temples.“I’m being serious.” she said, watching something behind me with keen, perpetually mischievous eyes. “And he’s heading this way.”“Oh my fucking goodness.” I sighed, the throbbing in my eyes intensified. “I’m going to the bathroom.”Rowan looked thoughtful. “You could. Or you could sit there and listen to what he wants to say.” “I already what he wants to say.” I muttered. “He’s like a fucking bulldozer at this point.” Rowan chuckled. “I think you’re the only thing on his wants to bulldoze.”

Fiona’s POVI could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on me as my words hung in the air. The once lively crowd had gone eerily silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife.My gaze swept across everyone present, taking in the reactions of the Kai family elders. They exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of surprise and confusion, as if they couldn’t quite believe what they had just heard.And then, there was Kai. The disappointment in his eyes deepened with every passing second, the flicker of hope he had clung to now dimming into something heavier—something dangerously close to resentment. I felt him grow cold beside me. His jaw tightened, his lips pressed into a thin line, but he said nothing. He didn’t have to. The disappointment radiated off him like a slow-burning fire, scorching in its quiet intensity.Eugene cleared his throat quietly, searching for what words to use. “A-are you certain we can’t change your mind?” he asked weakly. Jin nearly snappe

Fiona’s POV“Hey, Rowan.”“Fiona? Where are you? I’ve been trying to contact you for three days now! How are you? Are you okay? Please tell me you are?” Rowan’s panicking voice blasted the confines of the car.I grinned at her terrified voice then affected a sober voice, “What if I tell you I’m not okay, and that I’m on my way to the ER to treat my broken bones.”“What!?” Rowan screeched. “Fuck, what hospital is it? Fiona speak the fuck up—” I cackled at her fear. “I’m fine, Rowan. Honest.”“I’m glad my concern is amusing to you.” Rowan hissed. I immediately sobered up. “You know I didn’t mean that. I was joking, darling. I promise I’ll tell you everything when I get back, okay?”“Fine. God knows you owe me one.” Rowan said smartly. “Are you on your way home?”.I glanced at the familiar surroundings zooming past mea before replying, “Uh, no. I’ve got drop by Jin’s house first but I’ll see you later.”“Okay. Are you sure you’re alright?” Rowan probed once more.“Yes, Rowan. I am.” I
The Fourfold Desires Chapter 96
Fiona’s POVPanic clawed at me. This was all too much pressure. I watched as Jin rose slowly to his feet, eyeing the writhing shadow monsters skeptically."Okay. Think. There must be something you've missed, Fiona. Think!" I muttered to myself, pressing my eyes closed in concentration. The ancient texts in that old grimoire, the whispered instructions and chants were failing us. My mind raced, a whirlwind of fragmented knowledge, desperate for a solution. Kai was down, Soren and Jin was hurt, and the shadow beasts were relentless. We were running out of time."Think, Fiona, think!" I screamed internally. I scanned my memory, flipping through the pages of countless arcane tomes. Then, a flicker. A forgotten passage. A detail I’d dismissed as insignificant. It was a footnote, almost an afterthought, about alternative activation methods. It was vague, cryptic, but… it resonated. A spark of hope ignited in the darkness of my despair.Immediately, I snapped urgent eyes to the central

Fiona’s POVMy heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the encroaching darkness. No sooner had we begun unloading than I felt them – the pursuers. Their presence was a tangible thing, a cold dread that prickled my skin."The crystals go there," I pointed to a patch of worn earth, where the markings I had made were still visible under my flashlight. "Soren, connect that line to the north node.""Got it, Fiona," growled Soren, his massive form already hefting a heavy stone."Every one get into the circle and do not leave no matter what until I say so." I announced. I focused, pushing aside the fear that threatened to overwhelm me. The magic circle was intricate, a delicate web of power that needed precise placement and intention. My fingers flew across the surfaces of the stones, tracing the ancient symbols and items we had gathered then began chanting the forgotten words. The air shimmered, a faint blue glow beginning to emanate from the circle’s center."They're a

Fiona’s POVThe cavern shimmered with an eerie blue light, the jagged ice crystals reflecting a cold glow that pulsed like a living thing. But we weren’t alone.A sharp gust of wind howled through the chamber, carrying with it a flurry of frost. Then I saw them—ice elemental elves, their lithe bodies shimmering like frost-covered glass. Their piercing, glowing eyes locked onto us, and in an instant, they attacked.“Move!” I shouted, diving behind a frozen stalagmite as razor-sharp ice thorns shot toward us in a deadly barrage.The Alphas scattered, their movements swift and precise. Jin, ever the protector, positioned himself in front of me, sword raised. A shard of ice whizzed past my ear, slicing a few strands of my hair before embedding itself into the ground. I clenched my fists, summoning my energy, but the elves weren’t giving us a moment to breathe.“Go for the leader!” Lyn growled, rolling under a streak of frost magic that turned the stone floor to ice.The elves moved in un

Fiona’s POVThe first clue had led us to the deep swamp behind the old site. It was said that a rare plant, Dark Light Algae, grew here—an essential material for activating the magic array. But as I stood at the swamp’s edge, inhaling the thick, musty air, I couldn’t help but wonder if the legends had conveniently left out the part where we’d have to risk our lives to retrieve it.A dense, eerie fog coiled around twisted trees, their gnarled roots jutting out of the soggy ground like skeletal fingers grasping at the air. Every few steps, the murky water gurgled as if something unseen was shifting beneath the surface. The air was thick, humid, and heavy with the scent of rot and stagnant water.“Ugh, this place reeks,” I muttered, wrinkling my nose as my boots sank into the soft, treacherous earth. Each step was a gamble—too much pressure, and the ground threatened to swallow me whole.“Watch your footing,” Kai warned, his voice strained with concentration as he tested the ground ahe
