The Fourfold Desires Chapter 50
Fiona’s POVI set down my tray on one of the empty seats at the far ends of the cafeteria before dropping myself to the seat there with an exhausted sigh and began rubbing my throbbing temple with both hands at the beginnings of a piercing headache which have been happening a lot these days. I didn’t take the sudden burst into limelight very well it seemed and although Rowan was there most of the time, there was only so much I could do. I couldn’t seem to fend them off on my own.I stared at my food tray with open misery briefly before reaching into my bag for the bottle of painkillers, wincing as another painful agony exploded my brain and nearly split my skull into halves. I ate a couple of bites from the food without tasting it then popped two painkillers into my mouth, downing it two large gulps of water before dropping my head to my palms with a taut sigh.God, I felt like shit. I thought everything would have gone down by now and I thought wrong. If anything Helena and Jin wante

Fiona’s POVRowen's words made blood soar my ears. I stared dumbly at her like she had spoken in an extinct language, “What?”“Do. You. Want. To. Hang. Outside. School. With. Me?” Rowan asked punctuating each pause with a clap of her hand. “I had to remove the curse words in case you didn’t understand what I said.”“Oh, fuck off!” I exclaimed without heat, grinning from ear to ear as she laughed contagiously. “It’s just… I’ve never ditched classes for once. Not even I was sick.”“I know. Doesn’t it feel exciting? There’s nothing wrong in breaking the rules once in a while.” Rowan said giddily. I shit her an unimpressed look. “I’m beginning to think you’re a bad influence after all.” But she was right. The thought of me leaving college during lecture hours sent a thrill to my body. It was electrifying and it left me feeling extremely giddy. Rowan snorted. “Please. You wouldn’t know a bad influence if it hit you in the face. So what do you say? Are you in?”Dopamine flooded my veins a

Fiona’s POV“So, what do you think?”I blinked stupidly at him, stunned to my hair roots to form words. What exactly did he want me to say? It was so sudden that my brain had practically shut down partially at his suggestion.Lyn met my gaze steadily through the rear view mirror once more and held it steadily. “It’s just a thought. It’s okay if you don’t like the idea. But personally, I think it’s a pretty good thought. You don’t have to pressure yourself. Just consider it, then let me know. Okay?”I managed a stilted nod at that, still reeling in shock at his words. To say I wasn’t wary would be a lie. Despite his charming personality at this particular moment, I couldn’t forget his past behavior and I knew without doubt that the monster lurking behind that charming façade would snap at anytime. Lyn was as unpredictable as a tarot card reading —you never know what to expect, and that was why I was wary.Lyn glanced up in time to see the wariness and reluctance on my face before I cou

Fiona’s POVIt was already dark when we rode the last of the rides and the most of the amusement parks stalls and rides were in the process of closing for the night and the visitors warm and exhausted from a rather thrilling day, filed out tiredly from the park.Rowan and I stood by the amusement parks main entrance sipping Boba drinks we bought from a store whilst waiting for Lyn who went to fetch his car from the parking lot a little distance away. We wanted to come with, but he told us to wait for him by the gate instead, stating something along the limes of us being tired or something like that, I don’t remember.Rowan poked my cheek lightly, drawing my attention to her smiling face. “How did you like your first time ditching school?”I gave a flippant shrug. “Meh. It was alright.”Rowan narrowed her eyes dangerously to slits, ready to take on the offensive which dissolved into laughter. “Oh fuck you! This is the most fun you’ve had in your life, admit it.”I took a decisive slurp

Fiona’s POV“Fiona?”Bang! Bang! I stared wide-eyed stricken with fear and panic at the door barring Jin from entering my room. A weird sense of déjà vu shivered my spine as memories of that night of my heat infiltrated my brain. My leaden legs couldn’t move, frozen and paralyzed with fear, the only thing I could do was watch.The banging of the door increased with an impatient intensity that mirrored the impatience in Jin’s voice which was veering close to annoyance. “I heard movements and the lights of your room is on which only happens when you are around. Open the fuck up, Fiona.” He punctuated the syllables of the last words with a furious bang, rattling the hinges on the door.My heart flew to the stray clothes scattered on my bed and to the duffel bag on my bed and a new fear engulfed me, chilling my soul and bones at once. I contemplated on emptying the clothes back on the bed and flinging the duffel bag under my bed and pray he doesn’t see it but decided against it. Nothing

Fiona’s POV“Fiona? Are you okay? What’s wrong?”We were face to face, so close I could see every fleck of color in his pupils, the way they shifted like liquid chocolate in the low light. For a moment, I lost myself in the tiny reflections they held—my own face, drawn and breathless, staring back at me. His gaze felt like a weight, pressing gently but insistently on my chest, making it hard to breathe yet impossible to pull away.The faint, warm scent of his skin lingered between us, a mix of something clean and earthy, like rain-soaked wood. It wasn’t overpowering, but it was enough to make my head spin, like I was standing too close to a fire. I could almost feel the heat radiating off him, his presence pulling me in, an invisible gravity I didn’t want to resist.There was something electric in the air, a quiet hum that buzzed in my ears and made every nerve in my body come alive. I became hyperaware of everything—the soft sound of his breath mingling with mine, the slight hitch in

Fiona’s POV“Excuse me?”The fingers wrapped around my hair released the stray curl then migrated in feather-light touches to my cheeks and the bridge of my nose and began drawing abstract patterns on them, his dark eyes tracing each movement and my reaction simultaneously as he said, “I asked if you were really that angry. In case you didn’t hear me the first time.”I slapped his fingers off my face, glaring at him furiously and the lazy smile on his face, lending him a rather charming, soft look. “Get fucked, Jin.”“Maybe.” The fingers returned, this time fluttering dangerously close to my lips. “You said that I’m full of shit. Well maybe that’s true. But doesn’t that make you an even bigger hypocrite than you paint me to be?”“And what exactly do you mean? Stop beating about the bloody bush.” I snapped. Jin merely flickered those liquid chocolate eyes to meet mine while his fingers continued their gentle assault, getting bolder and bolder with each daring caress. “Don’t play dumb,

Fiona’s POVThump. Thump. That was the sound of my heart pounding in slow motion. The walls of the room seemed to be closing in on me. I couldn’t breathe. It felt like I was trapped, drowning underwater with a heavy ball chain tethered at my ankles. I was helpless against the onslaught of emotions bombarding me: despair, dread, anger, anxiety, fear and panic—each worse than the last. How could Lyn do this to me? We had a mutual, silent agreement to keep this a secret. What was the essence of exchanging numbers if he was going to notify the Luna afterwards? What the hell was wrong with him? What the fuck I’m I going to do in this situation. Fuck, this was messed up. I messed up thinking I could trust him. I was so angry at myself and at Lyn for putting me in this extremely horrid situation. I couldn’t even bring myself to look at Jin. No, I don’t think I would have bore the emotions I would see there. I couldn’t even look at his mother. I couldn’t stomach the snide sneers and icy s

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
