Blaze's eyes widened, then narrowed with a storm of emotions—hurt, betrayal, and anger flooding through him like a tidal wave. His jaw clenched tightly, and his fists followed suit, knuckles turning white as he struggled to contain the surge of pain that clutched at his heart. Astrid's heart twisted painfully in her chest as she caught sight of the raw hurt in Blaze's eyes. The guilt washed over her in crashing waves, leaving her feeling suffocated and remorseful. She had known this moment would be devastating, but the reality of it was far worse than she had anticipated. Phoenix and Dexter shared in this overwhelming guilt. They exchanged glances, each seeing their remorse reflected in the other's eyes. The sense of having hurt someone they cared deeply for was agonizing.Blaze stood there in stunned silence, his gaze flickering between Astrid, Dexter, and Phoenix. The ire and torment in his eyes spoke volumes. The sense of betrayal was sharp and cutting, knowing that the people he
As her fury boiled over, Astrid's silver eyes glowed even brighter, like molten metal. Her anger was salient, a force of nature that crackled around her like a storm about to break. With a recalcitrant roar, she stomped her foot against the ground, leaving a jagged crack in the floor. Blaze stood rooted to the spot, his eyes wide with shock. He had never seen this side of Astrid before, the raw power and unbridled fury that now radiated from her. Phoenix, on the other hand, watched her with a calm acceptance, his expression unreadable. Dexter was visibly taken aback, his eyes wide with astonishment. He had not been there when her powers had first awakened, and this spectacle was both a revelation and a shock to him.As Astrid turned on her heel, her movements were sharp and decisive, her body language a clear indication of her anger and hurt. The air crackled with residual energy, and with every step she took, the crack in the floor widened, a physical manifestation of the emotional
Elena gave her sister a reassuring smile. "You're doing the right thing by giving him some space." Elena reclines with a mischievous gleam in her eye, her lips curving into a teasing smile. "Hmm, you smell like you've had quite the escapade with the Alpha. Don't tell me you managed to sneak in some steamy sessions amidst all that drama," she teases, her voice dripping with kittenish curiosity. Astrid's face turned a deep shade of crimson, her blush spreading across her cheeks. "Well, that was before I told him the truth," she whispers, the memory of their heated encounter flooded her mind, "It was… intense. Dexter and Phoenix were there, watching. Blaze had no idea." Elena's brows furrows in astonishment, her jaw dropping slightly. "Wait, what? You had sex with Blaze while Dexter and Phoenix watched? Damn, Astrid, that's some next-level stuff!" She leans closer, her curiosity piqued. "How was it? Don't leave out the dirty details." Astrid's blush deepens as she recalled the raw pas
Her voice wavers slightly as she recounts. "I did search for him, Vex'karoth, just as you commanded. But mere years after Alitha sealed you, I began to hear unsettling rumors. They spoke of a critical illness that had befallen him. "I suppose his mortal body was too frail to bear such immense power. According to all reports, he perished a few years later. No one, not even the most clairvoyant seers, expected him to return from the abyss of death.""It's astonishing that he has survived all this time," Vex'karoth muses, his voice tinged with a mix of disbelief and dark curiosity. No mere mortal should be capable of sustaining such immense power within them. The sheer magnitude of an inexhaustible reservoir of ether is enough to overwhelm and consume any mortal, yet he endures. "It defies all known limits of mortal capability. This child is not just an anomaly; he is a living paradox. Such a phenomenon shouldn't exist, and yet, here we are, facing the impossible." His dark laughter f
Astrid's brows furrows as she pondered, "Do supernaturals work as bodyguards for humans?" "Absolutely," Elena replies, "In fact, supernaturals make up more than fifty percent of the security industry. They often keep their true nature hidden, especially when working with human clients. It's a matter of blending in and not drawing unnecessary attention." Astrid nods thoughtfully, a plan forming in her mind. "I have ten bodyguards on my payroll. I've rarely had to use them, but with the emergence of my newfound powers, I might be in more danger than ever. Blaze is furious with me, yet I know that despite his anger, he would never allow me to go anywhere without ensuring my safety is thoroughly secured. "The same goes for Phoenix and Dexter; their protectiveness knows no bounds. Could you and Spencer check them against the supernatural database? I need to know if any of them are supernaturals. If they do, it could change the dynamics of my security detail and how I approach my safe
Blaze took a deep breath, before responding, "Because I helped your mother get back her powers! Not all of it, though, to some extent. I was there, Astrid. I saw the sacrifices she made, the strength she had. Now, I see that you are the one meant to carry on her legacy."Astrid felt a lump form in her throat, her emotions swirling in a chaotic storm. "B-blaze… I don't know if I can handle this. The responsibility, the danger. It's all too much. Why didn't you tell me about it!"Blaze stepped closer, his hands gently cradling Astrid's face, "When you told me Alice was your mother," he began, his voice soft yet intense. "I had my suspicions, but I couldn't be certain. I was helping your mother regain her powers and she was making remarkable progress. "However, that didn't necessarily mean that her powers had been passed down to you. But then, when I saw you manifest those abilities, especially what you did to Tiffany, it became undeniable. I was a hundred percent sure you had inherited
Alitha stood at the center of a storm of magic, her arms outstretched as she chanted an ancient spell. Her voice, resonant with power, reverberated through the air, as a luminous shield formed around Vex'karoth, a dark entity of immense power and malevolence who had plagued their kingdom for a megannum. Her eyes blazed with a silver brilliance, reflecting the light of the magical barrier she was conjuring. The crowd of onlookers held their breath, understanding that this battle would determine the fate of their kingdom and the entire world. As Alitha continued her spell, the surrounding air crackled with energy. Her silver eyes shone brighter, a beacon of hope against the encroaching darkness. Vex'karoth, his form wreathed in dark tendrils of magic, snarled and twisted within the confines of the shield. His eyes burned with hatred and a hunger for destruction. With a guttural roar, he unleashed a wave of black magic, the dark energy slamming against the shield, causing it to wav
Blaze bent down slightly, bringing his lips closer to Astrid's. She responded by standing on her tiptoes, closing the distance between them as he captured her lips in a tender kiss. The kiss was soft, slow, and filled with a profound sense of vulnerability and affection. It was a kiss that spoke of shared pain, and a love that transcended the scars of their pasts. His lips moved with deliberate slowness, savoring the taste and feel of her lips against his own. His tongue sought hers, dancing in her mouth and tasting the saltiness of her saliva. He cupped her face, his fingers tracing the delicate lines of her cheeks and jaw, as if memorizing every curve and line, committing them to his heart. Astrid's hands rested on Blaze's chest, feeling the steady, reassuring rhythm of his heartbeat. She felt a flood of emotions well up within her, a tidal wave of love, relief, and a bittersweet acknowledgment of the struggles they had overcome. As they slowly broke the kiss, Blaze pulled bac
