The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 23. Commotion
~ KATALEYA ~There are certain defining moments in life when you question every decision you have made, leading to a specific moment. For me, this is one of them. Every single thing we were trying to avoid has happened. We weren’t able to prevent or stop it.The entire place is plunged into darkness as turmoil breaks out.The man standing above me is as handsome and sexy as he has always been. From those beautiful, sexy hazel eyes, straight nose, and kissable lips that are equally charming as they can be mocking. But it is not my Enrique whose mind is there.Yet despite that sickening truth, and through the shrieks of the crawlers, and those fighting against them, I remember one thing that Azarakh had said. That he could take on any form.Yet here he is, channelling the darkness within Enrique to be here. No matter what he said, it’s obvious he needs Enrique as some kind of tether to be on this earth, and that is something I won’t allow.Around me I see everyone who can fight, battling
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 24. In His Eyes
~ KATALEYA ~Before he can even react, I have broken free from my binding. The black tendril shrivels up from the intense power of my aura as I tangle my fingers into his hair and tug his head to the side.I’m sorry for doing this without your vocal consent, Enrique. My canines elongate and, not wasting even a second, I sink my teeth into his neck.I have dreamt of marking Enrique in a million different scenarios, as we made love, as we promise ourselves to one another, on a Blood Moon, on the beach… even after a small argument, but never in a thousand years did I think it would be like this.Azarakh’s enraged roar almost splits my eardrums, but I keep exuding power.A wave of darkness pushes against me, mixed with rage. Followed by white-hot pain that rushes through me as his claws, both his natural ones and those of the bionic hand, cut deep into me causing splintering pain to dig deep into my flesh. But I do not move back, not caring that I’m bleeding or that he has his fingers full
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 25. Guilt
~ ENRIQUE ~I don’t know what happened. All I remember is how sick and disgusted I felt knowing I was hurting her, resenting myself for not being able to protect her and keep her happy. That and this anger I felt when I sank my teeth into her neck.I marked Rhea. Then it was followed by excruciating pain, and then everything went blank. I came to, feeling as if I had been drowning, and then I awoke with not only my hand, but even my prosthetic buried fucking claws deep into Mi Reina’s hips.I have hurt her. I could feel her insides against my fingers, see the blood on my hands and on the floor around her, soaking her beautiful dress.She was pale, and although she was in pain, she was only concerned about me. Once again, I had hurt her, and she only cared for my wellbeing.As I step away from the hospital, watching the doctors and nurses discuss how much blood she has lost, reading out her vitals and the doctors throw orders to the nurses, I feel numb.I didn’t want to leave her, but I
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 26. An Alpha’s Duty
~ ENRIQUE ~ The crawler had finally been moved to the dungeons, with hopefully a prison secure enough to hold him. Royce, Raihana, Delsanra and I formed it together. Seeing them perform spells, I almost felt I understood them. I was told I could perform magic without the need of spells. That is something I have yet to try when my mind isn’t consumed by turmoil. Now we see if the cell holds. However, aside from hissing and shrieking, we got nothing out of him. Raihana suggested we wait for Kataleya to wake up since Azarakh has conversed with her before, but that she will continue to try to get it to speak. I want to head back to the hospital but there’s still so much pending. “Jose, get the car. I need to visit the family of the deceased,” I order. “Alpha Enrique. I need your permission to allow me to question Hugo, with magic, if needed. He has lied, or at least kept things from you and us,” Raihana says. I frown, “What do you mean?” “You don’t need the Ash Stone to control th
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 27. Questions
~ ENRIQUE ~ The next was a devastated mate who had felt the pack-link break and had gone into labour earlier than she should have. The worst time for someone to learn they have lost their mate. She had already known he was gone. I won’t forget the look in her eyes as she clutched her baby daughter, asking me why he died. I hit send, sending the plans I want put in place to secure any future attacks on the power lines to Jose, who would get me the supplies needed to create a barrier around them with some parts that needed to be made to keep them accessible when needed and ready for me. I will have to work with the electrician on that as soon as they are ready and the current wiring is all fixed. ‘Elena, how is she?’ ‘Same as she was twenty minutes ago, Alpha.’ ‘I get it,’ I answer through gritted teeth. ‘Sorry, Alpha. I know you’re worried, but we are doing what we can and I spoke to her sister. Her mother will be flying out soon. She is the blessed wolf. She is a healer.’ I
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 28. Concern
~ LIAM ~ “Nothing...” Raihana sighs as the crawler simply hisses at her again. “Well, seems we won’t be getting answers from him. So shall we talk now?” “What is it? I told you I had something to do. That’s why I left.” “Yeah, but we were meant to stay together, especially at such a moment. Kat is…” I sigh, I don’t want to blame her, this isn’t on her, but maybe things could have gone better and no one might have died if we had them both here too. “Are you accusing me of Kat’s state? Couldn’t you guys handle it?” Raihana asks sharply, her eyes flashing with hurt. “I wanted to help her; we needed answers.” “No, I am not, Raihana. I’m just saying-” “I’m done with this conversation. I don’t answer to you.” “You kinda do. I was put in charge,” I say, blocking her path, my eyes glimmering. “We all know I was sent to make sure everything went smoothly. Do you want me to report your actions to Alejandro?” Her eyes flash as she steps closer, glaring up at me. “Don’t threaten me.” “I’
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 29. My Annoyance
~ ENRIQUE ~“What did you just say?” I ask, staring at Benigno, my eyes simmering with rage.He bows low. “Mi Rey, it is as Antonio confirmed. We are sorry, but Hugo is nowhere to be found.”“Keep looking, I want him found!” I snarl. ‘Jose, send a team out to find Hugo. I need the hijo de puta to be found and brought before me!’‘Understood. I will deploy a large number of warriors to make sure this is done,’ he replies.I punch the wall beside me, glaring at Benigno. “So how about you start from the fucking beginning? Why did you conspire against me? Why did Rhea play me as if I owed you something? Why did Hugo say the very fucking same? I am not like my father, but I assure you if you cross me, I will fucking kill you,” I snarl.He bows low, placing his forehead on the ground. “I ask on the behalf of my guardsmen and myself for your forgiveness, oh mighty king. We only wished to protect you and your bloodline. Please understand, we did this for you. May I speak freely?”“Yeah, I want
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 30. My Opinion
~ DELSANRA ~Liam… is not entirely wrong. I sigh softly, knowing Rayhan would definitely be angry. Alejandro has a soft spot for Raihana, but Rayhan will be harsher. He has a temper and there are certain things he will not tolerate. Plus, Liam is his best friend, and he always respects his views.I sit down, running my fingers through my hair. It’s been an hour since I spoke to Liam and I saw Raihana. She was quieter when we were in Kataleya’s hospital room. I’m currently in the hospital lounge, taking a moment.I know Ri, and I know she would never use her powers with the wrong intentions. Everything she does is to help others. If she wanted, she could have asked to see Chris a thousand times. She could have asked for me to help her go to the veil even, but she has never done that.I’ve seen the woman she has become, and even without her mate by her side, she is there for Heaven and Tatum. Even when I know it is hard for her, she smiles at them and makes sure she doesn’t become like h
