Kaden's composure faltered at Lent's revelation, a sudden surge of alarm coursing through him like a lightning bolt. His expression paled, a stark contrast against his normally composed visage. The news about the car, the ominous link to Liam's wife's kidnapping, ignited a flurry of apprehension within him.Why was it always Storm, his mate, teetering on the precipice of danger? The mere thought of her inadvertently entangled in these dangerous webs of clandestine events sent a shiver down his spine. His protective instincts surged, the instinct to shield her from the perils that lurked in their world overwhelming him.The gravity of the situation dawned upon him, accentuated by Lent's deliberately cryptic tone. His mind raced with unspoken questions, the implications of Storm's involvement in this discovery unsettling him.The girl would be the death of him. The thought tumbled through his mind like an ominous refrain. Storm, with her unyielding curiosity and knack for stumbling upo
Kaden looked up when Storm stepped into the room; he was still amazed at the goodness of her looks, and the ache in his chest, the longing to grab her to himself and inhale the scent that is hers. He averted his gaze when he noticed that she had caught him staring, or rather drooling. He didn’t want her thinking that she was the air he breathed, and that he couldn’t do without her. He already know what she could do with her mouth already; break his heart and resolve. “Storm, surprised at getting your call. Please, take a seat.” He started, unable to resist making the dig. He was still hurt that she had ousted him because she was scared of her emotions. Easy Kaden. Go easy on the girl. You are not any better. He heard his lycan say, or rather think or was it whisper? It was just barely there, sounding tired. But at least he was speaking. Oh wow, what the presence of Storm could do. He watched, his eyes softening when he caught the frustration that flashed across Storm’s eyes jus
Storm saw the impatience cloud Kaden's face before it reflected in his words when he spoke. “So, why are you here then? You sounded like it was urgent over the phone. Did you see some strange people around that you think are hunters?” He asked, and she shook her head, whilst wondering what had crawled up his ass now-why he seemed hell bent on pushing her out of shape with worrying about what he was thinking. “No, I didn’t. But about that, do you know of any recent insight to that?” She asked. “Yeah. The bounty on your head has been increased. Your stepmother is very determined to see you caught. If I didn't know better, I would say that she misses you.” Kaden answered, grimacing at his lame attempt to lighten the sullen atmosphere. Yet when he saw the little smile that graced Storm’s lips, he couldn’t help but feel fulfilled. He almost scoffed at himself a second lter. He was acting like whipped cream. “How much?” “A couple of thousand. Last time, my man checked , it was worth m
Couldn’t she keep her mouth still, until they were done with this discussion? Couldn’t she not bite her lips? Does she want him to combust, or manhandle her in his office? She wants to be friends, but she goes around firing him up like that. What was he supposed to do now? Smile and wave? Damn that. Kaden thought, walking toward a red faced storm with purposeful strides, choosing to indulge in his whims for the second. They can talk later. He raised her up from the chair, drew her to him, and dropped a hot rocky kiss on her lips, his hands tightening around her waist when she opened her mouth and let him in. “Storm…” He grunted out when she spurt out a moan that was threatening to drive both he and his lycan crazy. Aries was getting to the surface. If he kept on with this, he might take her on the table.The image caused him to shout fuck mentally and disengeage from his lips. He had to mate with her officially, not as with a slut or girlfriend, as he had planned before. She was
Storm stood up from her seat, too unsettled to remain sitting down. Her father had tried to divorce Jess? The hate that had sprouted within, down, went down some more inches. Her father. His actions had been pioneered by Jess. Jess was the perpetrator. Jess killed her mother; her father had just been a tool. Jess had also killed her father. Jess would pay. Storm vowed that she would make the woman pay. She wasn’t sure how, but she would do that. The first step was ensuring that the slut’s bounty becomes null and void. Storm determined that she would never be found by her step mother. She would make sure that the master finds out that they were incompetent. Who knows? He might kill the witch off. The next step will come up from there. What would that be?She closed the thought. When she reaches that bridge, she will cross it. The main thing now was finding how to remain uncaught by the bounty hunters. She strolled to the window opposite her, and stood by the pane, watching the cl
Kaden took in the impatient look on Storm’s face, and wondered if she really had an appointment in two hours time, or if she was just bluffing, a weak attempt to look busy. If she was serious, who was she meeting? Jutul had mentioned the guy that had been speaking with Storm on her first day in school was a supernatural, an actual son of am alpha. Could it be the person that she was impatient to meet? Kaden got restless, looking at his phone. He wished he could get across to Jutul, he wished that the dude was a werewolf. “Well, it's about the school that you are enrolled in.” He started, noting that she was stamping her feet on the floor, biding time until she called him out again. “What about the school?” Storm asked, stopping the motion of her legs, letting her eyes stray from the tray to the blueness of Kaden’s eyes. “It is filled with people like you. Like us.” Kaden added the last part so that she wouldn’t feel like a freak. “We didn’t know at first. It was after intense in
“Why did you stop?” Kaden asked, when he couldn't take the stare anymore. Storm shrugged. “Nothing much. You seem uninterested in whatever I am saying, like your mind is elsewhere.” She stood up from her seat, and dusted her skirt. “I had thought that it would be the best idea to come here, and talk, and perhaps get help or solutions to some of the strange problems I’m having, but obviously I am wasting my time. I am sorry for wasting your time, Mr Kaden.” Kaden balked at that term used to address him, while taking note of her eyes which were getting wet. “But I will be off now. It won’t happen again.” Storm recited, then turned on her heels, about to leave, when suddenly she felt something , or rather someone grab her from behind. ‘How had Kaden gotten up here so fast?’ was her thought as she turned around and stared at him. “Calm down, woman. I have never heard any more tale more interesting than what you're telling me. That I am trying to digest them, and possibly making an
Anything to say? Kaden had a lot to say, like who he really was, but he knew that Storm wasn’t ready to know that. “Well, I think these strange happenings are not a coincidence, and I think you should live in the clan.” He finally said.Storm gaped, and shook her head. She couldn’t live in the clan, she would be seeing Kaden everyday. That was close to suicide; not being able to touch him. He should have suggested this before she friendzoned him. “No, what will Lucy and Justin think?” She asked rather.“You can convince them of something. You should know it’s for their safety, so that they wouldn't be prey to something out there.” Kaden mentioned, picking a cookie from the plate, aiming to mask his troubled face and demeanor. His mate was in huge trouble. He wondered if now was the right time to tell her that she was kataigaida. “Yes, it is the right time. Tell her about who she is.” Casper advised through the mind link.“Okay, I will try. Is that all you have to say to me?” Stor
