The Fourfold Desires Chapter 33
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 POVThere is this quote from Robert Tea which I read up somewhere which says that, “Broken people are beautiful. They have to put themselves back every day.” The simplicity of this quote resonated with something within me. Something hollow and broken, something tired of fighting to stay alive.Kai’s apology and his vow has left a bittersweet taste in my mouth. I felt wronged but seen, everything felt off but felt right at the same time. It was all contradictory to the whirlwind of emotions which had me breaking down in tears at his embrace. I wept knowing that however I ended up, Kai would be there to pick up the shattered bits of my heart and piece them back together. He just seemed to know exactly what I wanted at that moment, and it was comfort.His large hands drew soothing circles on my back, comforting with kind words as we there in the cold night under the flickering orange street light. It felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from. I calmed down after a while, ev

Fiona’s POVI didn’t have the chance to speak to Kai as I was rudely yanked away by his raging dickhead of a friend who dragged me into an empty classroom —there always seemed to be more of those nowadays whenever I was alone with him, it was fucking bizarre—and slammed me hard against the locked door, blocking my view of anything with his body. His dark eyes seemed bottomless like a black hole, only it was filled with acrimony and fury, and yet when he spoke, it was deadly calm and deceptively soft. His body was tensed up in his anger and the heat radiating off him was scalding in its intensity. Memories of that time in the tiny restroom stall filled my brain, and I immediately felt ill, fighting back the crippling panic and anxiety trying to rear its ugly head. His face was close. Too close. I felt panic surge my veins and the strong urge to hyperventilation as those memories morphed and merged into something utterly disgusting and vile. Nausea gripped me tightly by the neck and b

Fiona’s POVJin slowly lowered his head and approached my mouth with this languid, predatory ease that raised the hairs at the back of my neck as his intentions dawned on me, “I thought we’ve already established that. I will have you one way or another in any way I can. It doesn’t matter if you break in the process, I can always piece you back together.” He said mildly, all the same training those dark eyes wild and feverish with hunger and something forbidden.Jin leaned in slowly, his gaze locked on mine, and I could feel the tension crackling in the air like static electricity. His words spilled softly from his lips, but I barely registered what he was saying. My breath hitched, chest tightening as a cold wave of panic washed over me. My heart pounded so violently it felt like it was trying to break free from my ribcage.I froze, my hands curling into fists at my sides. Every muscle in my body screamed for me to move, to pull away, but I was rooted to the spot as if I’d been glued

Fiona’s POVKai walked me back to class even though I protested, but he was always the perfect gentleman, insisting that he walk me to class with a sweet smile I just couldn’t resist. When we eventually walked into class, my gaze clashed with the lecturer’s unimpressed stare he shot me. He looked like he wanted to protest by held his tongue because of Kai standing next to me.“I’m so sorry for coming late, Mr. Banks. We got caught up with a tiny issue.” Kai apologized cordially with a guilty expression.Mr. Banks in question blinked once, clearly not expecting Kai’s apology, then gave a brief nod. “That’s alright. Your apology is enough. Take your seats and pay attention.”Gripping my hand tightly, he pulled me gently behind me as we haunted and found empty seats. Settling into the empty seats without as silently as we could, we listened as Mr. Banks continued his lecture. I stole secret glances at Kai at regular intervals as the lecture went on, coveting every secret smile he hid wit

Fiona’s POV“How did you answer him so fast? And correctly at for that matter? I couldn’t have answered that quickly to save my life!” Kai asked with a incredulous whisper, his face filled with shock and admiration.I giggled at the expression on his face then covered my lips with my hand as the giggle ventured dangerously into laughter at his funny expression before I calmed down, clearing my throat, “I got all As in last semester.”“Oh, word? You are so sitting next to me during exams this semester. I never knew I had a freaking genius.” He replied with a heavily amused smile, nudging me playfully with his shoulder, grinning from ear to ear like we had shared a secret.His smile morphed into something pained and sad flickering in his iridescent blue eyes before it vanished into a soft smile. I watched as he reached forward to tuck a stray strand of my hair behind my ears, his warm fingers grazing my ears in the process. “I just realized that I don’t know much about you as much as I

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

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
