Part Sixty

The days after my conversation with Death were spent getting my affairs in order. I had drafted a will a week after we got married and I knew at least that Adara would be looked after. We were in a good place and I didn’t want to die with us angry at each other, so I pushed it to one side and just savored the time I had left with my family.“We won’t be home for lunch. I’m taking Christian shopping.”“I swear his clothes only fit for a month.” I smiled at Adara because it was true. He had gone into a growth spurt like it was a competition.“See you later.” I kissed Adara goodbye and grabbed Christian’s backpack.I dropped Christian off at school and hugged him extra tight like I’d been doing for the past few days. When I was at home I cleared my thoughts and Malachi had looked at me oddly a few times. I couldn’t tell him that I was going to die, I wanted to spare him that knowledge.I finished up my staff meeting at the hotel and checked my emails. I had to submit my paper in three da

Part Sixty-One

“Kiran, I… what do we do?” she asked worriedly.“You have done enough! Consorting with the enemy. Letting Adrian Peters drive off into the sunset with Juniper!” I spat the words out at her and Malachi placed his hands on my shoulders.“You have to calm down. Now!” he said sternly and I stood back.“You phone Juniper,” Malachi said to Adara.“She phoned from a private number. I don’t have a number for her.” Adara was close to tears as she realized she had no way of helping.I turned around and walked outside. I didn’t know how to handle this. I kept thinking how afraid Christian must be and I dreaded to think what he must be doing to him.Malachi was on the phone with Robert as I walked back inside. “Robert, could you please come to the house. It’s a matter of great urgency, alone.”“We can’t involve the police in this.” I was more in control of my emotions now and I pushed the sound of Death’s voice from my head.“I’m not, I’m just involving Robert. He warned us about Adrian in the fi

Part Sixty-Two

Adrian stood in front of the warehouse with a gun pointed in my direction. I parked the Jeep and climbed out, holding my hands up in surrender.“Take off your jacket and throw your keys over here.” I took my jacket off and placed it on the ground next to me. I looked at the keys in my hand and threw them over to Adrian where he knelt down and picked them up.“Your phone next.” His order was simple and I threw my phone over to him. He walked over to it and stepped on it. I heard a crunching sound as my phone broke.I watched Adrian’s every move. “Where’s Christian?”Adrian turned his head a fraction and nodded to someone inside the warehouse that I couldn’t see. Juniper slowly walked outside holding Christian’s hand and he tried to run to me.“Kiran!”“Christian,” I breathed his name out in relief.Christian struggled to get loose from Juniper’s hold but she held on tightly to his arm. Christian scrunched up his face and kicked her leg. Her grip loosened and he ran to me. He jumped int

Part Sixty-Three

Adrian took half hour naps after each injection so as to keep to his routine of cutting me and injecting me. Every time I closed my eyes, he would stab me and I would jerk awake at the pain. I had lost track of time but it was dark and I reckoned I had been there for six or seven hours.“Why are you doing this?” I asked him as he sat down with a water bottle and a box of crackers.“My great-grandmother was a wolf. She thinned the blood by having children with a human man. History repeated itself and by the time my father was born, he knew the stories but couldn’t change, same with me.” Adrian didn’t look at me as he spoke.“So you’re mad because you’re not a wolf?” I asked him confused.He laughed at me but it sounded angry. “My uncle was a hunter before your father killed him after the explosion. He gave me valuable information on how to find you and ultimately the diaries I read convinced me that you all need to die.” I remembered the man in the house that I had killed. Not Malachi,

Part Sixty-Four

Juniper winced as she shifted her weight. The spot where Christian had kicked her throbbed slightly. She held onto his hand tightly, feeling sorry for him as Kiran emptied the water bottle that was laced with mountain arnica and mistletoe.Christian screamed and cried as she pulled him back inside the warehouse. Juniper dragged him back to the room and he pulled out of her grip the moment she closed the door behind them. Christian’s eyes were red rimmed from all the crying.Juniper moved closer to Christian in an attempt to comfort him. “You have to eat something, you’ll feel better.”“I hate you! I hope you all die!” He was a brave little boy, Juniper would give him that.The room smelled musty and it was making Juniper nauseous. Christian moved to the far side of the cot and pulled his knees up to his chest. He didn’t look at her and he ignored her attempts at conversation.After hours of sitting in the room with Christian sulking and glaring at her, the door opened and Adrian stood

Part Sixty-Five

Juniper didn’t understand the intense hate he had for them, but he wanted them all dead. Especially the Sinclair family. She turned onto the highway and sped up a little. She didn’t want to drive too fast, but she would also draw attention to herself if she was driving too slowly.Juniper reckoned Christian would be knocked out for a few hours at least. She drove to the hospital and pulled into a parking spot, switching the car off. She knew that she couldn’t leave him in the woods to die.She might not be a good person and she certainly hadn’t been a good mother to Adara, but she wasn’t a monster. Christian was still a little boy and he was innocent. He didn’t deserve the cruelty Adrian had exposed him to.One thing she was sure of was that if Adara and or Malachi survived Adrian’s attack, she’d be a dead woman. Neither of them would let her live knowing she had something to do with Christian’s death.If she took him inside, they would have her on camera. She couldn’t just leave him

Part Sixty-Six

In his heart Malachi had known that Adrian wouldn’t be at any of the addresses any of them had. It seemed too easy and he knew Adrian was smarter than that. He was heading back to the house when his phone rang.“All clear on my side, Malachi.” Malachi sighed, he shouldn’t be surprised, he’d known this would happen.“I’m on my way back to the house, thank you, Robert.”“I’ll meet you there.”“You don’t have to, Robert. You’ve already been a big help to us.” Malachi couldn’t help the frustration bubbling up in him.“I’m not leaving until we find that little boy and Adrian Peters. Kiran was right about one thing, Adrian needs to be put down.” The call ended and Malachi parked his Navigator in front of the garage.Malachi walked into the house through the kitchen, knowing it would take Kiran longer to return since Malachi had given him two extra addresses. He found Adara pacing up and down in front of the kitchen counter.“Did you find anything?” Adara was worried and chewing her thumb na

Part Sixty-Seven

Adara pushed Juniper towards Robert, blood still flowing from her broken nose. “Tie her to that chair. I need to take care of Christian first.”Robert looked at Malachi and took out his handcuffs when Malachi nodded. He pushed her down onto a kitchen chair and handcuffed her hands behind her. He didn’t particularly feel sorry for the woman, she was as guilty as Adrian.Adara knelt down next to Christian and touched his forehead. His cheeks were flushed but his face was cold to the touch. “What did you do to him?”“Adrian gave him a sedative, he said it would calm him down.” Juniper was crying but Adara ignored her sobs.Adara focused her energy on Christian. She placed her hands on his chest and concentrated on his shallow breathing and the soft, slow beating of his heart. She felt the poison and her aura started glowing as she pulled the poison towards her.It felt like forever even though only ten minutes had passed and Adara could feel it leaving Christian’s system. His cheeks retu

Part Sixty-Eight

Robert braced himself in the car as Malachi drove to the edge of town. He was going well over the speed limit and the Navigator skidded to a halt on the dirt road some few yards away from the warehouse.“Kiran!”By the time Robert opened his door Malachi was already running and it took him a few seconds to see Kiran stumbling out of the warehouse. Kiran slumped forward, hitting his head on a rock just as Malachi reached him.“Kiran …”Kiran’s eyelids fluttered but didn’t open as Malachi grabbed his shoulders and lightly shook him. His shirt was torn and covered in blood. Robert reached them and noticed the handcuffs around his wrists, the chain in the middle broken. He had no idea why, but he unlocked the cuffs from Kiran’s wrists and drew his gun.Robert walked carefully into the dark warehouse and rounded the corner with his gun raised in front of him. Adrian was on the floor, lying on his back, his face almost unrecognizable. He didn’t have to check for a pulse.He knew Adrian was

Part Sixty-Nine

Kiran smiled weakly at her as she let go and pushed herself off of him. Malachi stood right next to him and pulled him into a sitting position and enveloped him in a bear hug. Malachi held onto him tightly, his love pushing from his aura onto Kiran as he rested his head on his father’s shoulder.“I agree with Adara, don’t ever do that to us again.” Malachi wiped tears from his eyes as he let Kiran go and he saw Robert wiping his face as well.“I’m not sorry about what I did.” Kiran looked Malachi in the eye and got up slowly from the couch.“I know.” Malachi had a sad smile on his face but relief was evident in his eyes.“I really thought you were a goner, Kiran.” Robert patted his back as Kiran pulled him in for a hug as well. He was truly part of the family now.Kiran turned and saw Juniper slumped forward in the seat, her arms behind her and handcuffs sporting around her wrists. “Kidnapping … again? Didn’t we agree that the last time was the last time?”Kiran winced as he moved, th
