~ ENRIQUE ~ I had been on my way to get Kataleya when I had felt the snapping of a pack-link, signalling someone had either died or left the pack and I had alerted and commanded every pack member be accounted for, child, adult, and those not on the island. When one of your pack members dies, it takes a part of you too. I feel as if I failed them, that I was not able to protect them. When that had come up, I told Jose to take Kataleya to the house until I returned. “Alpha, until we get some answers, would you like to stop at my place? Madre has made some Arozz Con Dulce. Let’s wait there for a while, it’s close to the waters, anyway.” Hmm, he really is a fool… he has done nothing but piss me off lately, and he’s taking me to see his madre? “Yes, let’s go. I wouldn’t mind seeing Tía Maribella. It’s been a while.” “She will be happy to see you, too,” he answers as I change direction and head towards his home. Fool, you are done for now, and I will enjoy this. Once we park up, he g

~ ENRIQUE ~ “I hope you learned your lesson,” I remark as I get back into the car, and he climbs into the passenger seat. “I apologised…” He pouts sulkily as I start up the car and drive towards the sea where the bodies have been found. I had already demanded that the place be closed in the evenings through to the morning for any tourists or beach-goers. But clearly, the mayor has not bothered heeding my fucking orders. I made it clear until the attacker was found we needed to be on alert. I take my phone out, calling the so-called mayor, more like a hijo de puta. My eyes flashing with irritation, this could have been prevented. I had men and women who were professional divers out there, but I was under the impression he had placed a curfew in the area. The phone cuts but I call him again. He will take my call, or I will fucking run for mayor myself. Just when I’m prepared for the call to go to the answering machine again it’s answered. “Ah, Señor Escarra!” Mayor Rio says. “What

~ ENRIQUE ~ I slam the bathroom door behind me, running my fingers through my hair. That is not how I was expecting our first confrontation to go. I was lost in thought when I had entered, not even noticing the small phone screen. I mean, how the fuck would I when all I saw when I glanced at her were her thick thighs and boobs? I smirk as I take her phone out, which is blowing up with messages. Placing it aside, I take my pants off and get into the shower, wanting to scrub myself clean of any traces of that creature. Washing my hands and arms before returning just didn’t feel enough. Papi. I think smugly. I didn’t even need to do anything. She herself stressed her father out without me even having to say much. But she’s fucking entertaining… She deserves far more, but whether it is selfish to think this or not, I like that I own her heart… even if it’s better I didn’t… Scrubbing off, my mind goes back to the Chupacabra and Joseph. I sigh heavily. Tonight I need to dive again and
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 61. Moments in the Car
~ ENRIQUE ~ I resist a smirk as her cheeks flush. She’s still embarrassed about the whole phone thing and I’m enjoying making it worse. It doesn’t fucking bother me. “Th-that… goddess, I will never be able to face anyone ever again.” “Why? Because you practically told them you like to call me that?” I ask. She lets out a whimper of unhappiness as I lead the way outside and stop beside my car rather abruptly, making her knock into me. Her breasts are fucking perfect and cushiony. “Ouchie…” she whispers, and I look back at her. “I was wondering what your padre would think if he knew exactly what you have gotten up to here…” I remark. She blushes even more, her wide eyes looking at me. “He doesn’t need to know everything.” She pouts. “Of course not, yet somehow you will blurt it all out. But if you do plan to tell him that you enjoy me eating your sweet little pussy, make sure I’m around to witness his rage.” I remark mockingly, opening the door for her, watching as her entire fac
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 62. With Him
~ KATALEYA ~“With pistachios please,” I say politely to the ice cream vendor, trying to ignore the attention I’m getting from a group of young men. My cheeks are flushed, and I move closer to Enrique, feeling self-conscious of the stares.At the same time, I don’t want him getting mad. If he gets mad, maybe he won’t. I pout.Do I want him to get mad?He’s trying to contain his aura, but I can feel his irritation radiating off him strongly enough. He’s stronger… ever since what happened last night, there’s a shift in him. But I wonder… if the darkness returned, would it be stronger or weaker?“And you, señor?”“Nothing. We’re done,” Enrique replies coldly as he pays. I glance up, surprised. Doesn’t he want ice cream?“Here you go, señorita.”I thank the man, accepting my cup of ice cream and offering him a small smile.We had reached our destination, and I wanted to go for a little walk before we stopped at his favourite café. The weather is warm, but a slight wind is blowing. Maybe I
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 63. His Teasing Touch
~ KATALEYA ~ “Oh, you were right, there are so many tasty dishes on this menu…” I say, scanning the menu card. Oh, I wish I could have everything… My stomach almost rumbles. I love food. “Choose whatever you want,” he says, finally removing his shades and I am happy I can see those gorgeous hazel eyes again. He really is beautiful… “The menu content is not written on my face, mi amor. Choose.” I freeze. What did he just call me? My heart’s racing as I stare at him and he cocks a brow. “Are you suddenly deaf, Princesa?” I swear he… I’m sure he called me… no he wouldn’t. “And seemingly dumb now?” he adds. “Did you… I…” “Did you what?” he asks. I shake my head, pouting. “Nothing. Mm, I don’t know what to order. I think I’ll have the same as you,” I say, my mind feeling very blank apart from the words I am absolutely certain he had spoken. ‘Mi amor…’ maybe I misheard… did I? He sits back and beckons a waitress over as I look around. I wouldn’t really call it a café. It was more

A/N: Thanks for the patience, I wanted to upload the next few chapters together, hence why the delay. Enjoy!~ KATALEYA ~The food was delicious, and I felt that I had eaten too much, even the band of my pants felt a tiny bit tight. But Enrique knows his food, and I loved his opinion on it as he told me what to taste first and I enjoyed talking about the flavours.Only he didn’t look any different after eating all that, unlike me, whose stomach was feeling so full! But if I was to do it all over again, I’d still eat that much!After lunch, we went sightseeing, and it was when I wanted to take some pictures that I realised I had not brought my phone with me.“Oh… I...”“What is it?” Enrique asks.I shake my head. “I didn’t realise I left my phone at home... I just- well, they say it’s better to cherish the moment than waste it in trying to capture it.”“I agree, but each to their own. Here.” My eyes widen when he holds his phone out to me. “Just don’t take too many,” he mutters.“Thank
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 65. What I'd Choose
~ KATALEYA ~“So, are your friends not missing you? You have been here a while.”I pout, realising since school so much has changed in life with everyone, we don’t see Song as much either, as she spends time between the Coven and spending it with Atlas.“I think they’re ok, life’s changed a lot for us, about four years ago, me and my friends were planning our careers and what we wanted from life. And today all three of them are happy with their mates…”“So, you are the only one who is single?” he asks.I shake my head. “Nope, my heart is taken, so I don’t consider myself single.” Because I have you. “Look! There’s a stand of coconut water.” I don’t give him a chance to reply as I rush off through the sand to the stand.When I don’t hear him behind me, I pause and look back at him. There’s a faint smirk on his face as follows me, still holding my heels for me.“You really are something else…” he murmurs as he reaches me and requests two coconut waters from the vendor.“I can carry thos

~ KATALEYA ~I wake with a gasp, my lungs clawing for air, it feels like I’m drowning. I suck in a breath, clutching my throat. My heart is thudding but it’s as if the sound of it is coming from all around me, reverberating through the chilling darkness. It’s too silent.This place… it’s similar to Azarakh’s crypt, but not quite.It holds the same evil. Feeling something move, I look down and realise something cold and slimy is clinging to my legs, black tendrils - slithering as though alive.I gasp as I scramble to my feet or try to. The stench of rotting meat and damp earth so thick it feels like it’s inside of my mouth. Shuddering, I try to get up quickly, flinching as pain rushes up my waist and I touch it; there’s no wound, but the pain remains.How did I even get here?I frown slightly, trying to remember what happened.That woman! Her face was so warm and innocent. Was she a part of this? I touch my head. It hurts too.Dragging myself to my feet from the tar-like slime that cove
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 71. The Pain Before Me
~ SKYLA ~Rayhan…I won’t forget this moment, and it won’t be one of those good, happy memories. This one is devastating. The heartbroken Delsanra who has always rushed to help others despite the risk to her own life. Ray…. Ri…Despite everything, they always were there for us, but in their time of need, where the fuck were we?Fuck! Why them?Raihana now wraps her arms around Delsanra as both women kneel on the ground, their grief so strong, their pain so sharp it could carve away flesh from bone.There has to be something we can do!Enrique is examining the symbols, his power swirling around him subtly.I look up at Royce, “Let’s try to open the portal, maybe he’s ok. Royce, Dante, you both saw the symbols-”“It’s too late for that. Kiara said Ahren felt the shift in power. He is now the Alpha of the Black Storm Pack,” Dad says brokenly.“How can he be Alpha?! He doesn’t even have his wolf!” I shout. This can’t be happening!“Love…” Royce wraps his arms around me tightly.“We have to

~ DELSANRA ~“Rayhan…”Something isn’t right, I know it.I know I shouldn’t leave my spot, but the worst is sorted. I warn a few of the warriors I’m moving, and I rush to the crack where Rayhan and the others disappeared. I jump in, creating a barrier around me to protect myself from the crawlers that are still trickling out from the ground.They’re coming in smaller doses now, but they are still resilient.“Does anyone know if they managed to find the opening?” I ask worriedly.“No, not yet. We lost contact ” Liam replies, worry clear in his voice.He’s currently manning the break in the packhouse wall, making sure no crawlers get inside to the people.“We need to get down there!” I hear Sky shout from somewhere above.“What happened?” I ask.“I don’t know. Royce called for help!”My heart thuds as I keep going, moving as fast as possible.I can sense both her and Raihana not far behind me, the urgency and fear within me growing. I suddenly stop as a powerful pulsating that comes from
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 69. A Difficult Choice
~ ROYCE ~We kept going down, and the deeper we go, the more I feel a power that is fucking immense and there’s only one other aura I’ve felt with this much power and that was Apophis’.“Do you guys feel it?” I ask, my voice low, but even then, it feels too loud in this darkness. Occasionally, a crawler or two will hiss and claw at us as they come from somewhere beneath us. A confirmation that we are headed in the right direction.“The aura?” Dante mutters. “Yeah, and I have no idea who it belongs to.”His unease is obvious, and I remain on alert. My royal mark is glowing, and I am not the one who is summoning it forth. Almost as if it too is warning me of the dangers ahead.“Don’t worry I won’t let anything happen to you both.” Rayhan jokes, although we’re both stronger than him.“Don’t fuck around,” Dante’s harsh reply comes.Rayhan turns to him, a flicker of concern on his face. “Dante, do you want to turn back?” he asks.“All three of us?” Dante replies.“I speak for myself. You tw

~ ENRIQUE ~Magic fills the air, strong and powerful and I know it’s Raihana’s. I can feel Delsanra’s reinforcing the barriers, her magic feels different, and there are parts that are not like ours – not from Hecate.Raihana is working on blocking out the moonlight, in a huge attempt to completely stop the crawlers from coming out of whatever shithole they are coming from. Jose quickly filled me in, and I sent more power to both witches, giving them the strength to continue.They are two witches alone and they are doing a lot. Royce, Rayhan and Dante have gone down to find the exact location. ‘Send some warriors to handle the crawlers so they are not burdened.’ I command Jose.It doesn’t even make sense that so many crawlers are able to get in. It’s not a fissure in the veil, but that’s something that’s been obvious from the start. The crawlers have appeared everywhere at any time, not from one point like the chupacabras. They had a different way to get through. Another means that we n

~ KATALEYA ~My eyes widen as I turn sharply and stare into Enrique’s molten gold eyes.“Enrique!”‘No!’ Azarakh shrieks, the earsplitting sound hammering into my head causing me to flinch.“I’m sorry it took a while,” Enrique murmurs in his deep, beautiful voice that makes my stomach flutter. I shake my head before looking back towards the spot where Dad had fallen. I can’t see him! I can’t sense a heartbeat amongst the storm of crawlers.“How did you break free?” I ask softly, torn between running to Dad and keeping my hold on Azarakh.I know Enrique is in control for now. I can sense his presence, his aura strong and free from darkness.“You needed me,” he answers softly as he stands tall. “You’re my strength, Mi Amor.” My heart surges with so much emotion as we gaze into one another’s eyes, pink and gold, perfectly complimenting each other.Azarakh’s form has solidified as he fights to keep a grasp on Enrique, but he’s failing.His unearthly shrieks are all that he has left as Enr
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 66. Not This Time
~ KATALEYA ~Azarakh’s mouth twists into a snarl as he lifts his claws, aiming for my heart. I can see the glint of triumph as he lunges at me, but I hold my ground, letting him think he’s got me. But the moment his claws dig into my waist, slicing through fabric and skin, the smell of the hot rush of blood, and the sharp sting of agony makes me cry out. I suck in a gasp, gritting my teeth as I clamp my hand around his wrist, ignoring the searing pain at the contact.In a single motion, I call forth every ounce of power I have, letting it surge forward in a blinding wave. A scream leaves me as I put everything into it. My blinding pink aura swirls around him in a flash, engulfing him completely. Azarakh recoils, his shrieks cutting through the night like metal scraping against metal. He claws at his prison of light, his form writhing, his shadowy form twisting in agony as he tries to escape and get away from my aura.But not this time. My aura is like an iron cage holding firm, shackli
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 65. Good and Evil
~ KATALEYA ~‘We can share! I told you together we could have had it all. Yet you declined!’ Azarakh hisses, but he’s still only clinging to Enrique. The shadow form still surrounds him, but he hasn’t possessed him yet. Or perhaps he can’t.I fuel my power forward, trying to reach through our half-formed bond.“I would never choose you,” I say, my voice quiet yet firm. “Never.”‘You served your purpose, and you will continue to do so. That is why you were chosen, whether you wished for it or not.’ He chuckles darkly.What does he mean?“How do you have a hold on, Enrique? He is not evil,” I ask as our powers continue to slam against one another, attacking, hammering against one another. Light against dark.‘We were created from the blood of the same goddess. One could say we are brethren.’ I shudder at the very thought as his evil eyes now burn into me. His sharp teeth stained with blood. ‘The Goddess Hecate created us for another goddess, yet she betrayed my goddess by creating someon
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 64. Into the Darkness
~ RAYHAN ~“Alright, let’s do this,” I say, looking at Royce and Dante the moment the three of us are within reach of one another.“We’ll have your back and cover you from behind,” Royce says.“I’m assuming you can’t mask the moon, Magic Fingers?”“I wish I could, but with that tornado thing going on, it would need a lot of power without being sure of the results.”“And you would call every single crawler to you,” Dante adds.“Not necessarily a bad thing, really. I could be the decoy,” Royce answers as they both cut through the crawlers and I asses the area.“I don’t think so,” Skyla says through the earpiece.“Don’t worry, Love, I’ll return to you in one piece. But call me back if you need my help, Raihana, I’ll be there.”“Thanks, I’ll let you know,” she replies.“It’s intriguing how our auras attract the crawlers but somehow Kataleya’s is the only one who isn’t attracting crawlers with her aura. Instead, hers is deflecting them,” I murmur as I look through the storm of crawlers, aur
