All Chapters of Fire: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

I looked around at the now familiar darkness around me. Death would appear soon with the witch that I had burned. I would have to endure the pain of her soul burning and bargain with Death to give me life. I sighed. The last time he had me here for two days though it had felt like an eternity. I wasn’t looking forward to the soul burning part, it was a pain I couldn’t describe even if I wanted to.“Kiran, what a lovely surprise!” Death said as he appeared and walked closer to me.“I’m sure,” I said to him and crossed my arms over my chest.Death laughed at me. “You might have me believe that you want to die.”“I don’t want to die,” I said to him. I was sure that mere words wouldn’t convince him but with Death you could never be sure. The man was a bastard.“You keep on coming back so frequently that I might have to disagree with you,” he looked at me quizzically. “Sit.” A chair appeared and I sat down. It wasn’t like I had much of a choice and not pissing him off right off the bat see

Malachi was quiet as he drove back to Jessica’s house. He slammed his hand against the steering wheel as anger started building up in him. They were in the dark garage, still sitting in the car and he could feel Jessica’s gaze on him. His anger was directed at Kiran, at his recklessness and the fear that had gripped him, thinking that he was losing him.Her emotions were all over the place, as was his. He was frustrated with Kiran. He loved him most in this world but Kiran was also infuriating and he struggled to deal with it, mainly because he kept placing himself in danger and the thought of losing him was one Malachi wasn’t ready to face.“He only did what he thought was right,” Jessica said softly.“Don’t try and justify his actions to me,” Malachi said angrily. He didn’t like the anger in his voice but he had to let it out somehow.“I’m not. I’m just telling you how it is,” she said as they both got out of the car and Malachi slammed the side door shut behind him.“It’s not just

Adara returned home just before dinner, much later than she normally did and I wondered if it was to avoid me or because of her plus one. It hurt to think of that plus one but it was my own fault. I had pushed her away, again and again.I was an idiot, but I had set out to do one thing and I had done it. I wasn’t sorry that I’d lied about going to Florida. Vincent had been my problem, not theirs, and I’d rather be damned than endanger her.She hadn’t talked to me when she got home and we all sat at the table in the kitchen eating dinner. It seemed to be the new routine for the twins. They ate dinner with us at the table, Norah feeding Saga and Adara feeding Kai while they ate in between. I sat at the head of the table, in my own seclusion as they sat at the other end, away from me.“Thanks Norah, I’ll be up just now to put Kai to sleep, you can take Saga tonight,” Adara said to her with a smile as Norah took both babies up to their room. She turned to look at me and her smile disappea

“I would appreciate it if you could at least put your own cup away, I’m not your maid,” Adara said to me irritably as I came down the hall from the study to the kitchen. “Yeah, I was up early, sorry,” I said and smiled at her.“And not walk around half naked,” she added irritably.“Sorry,” I said to her again but she didn’t acknowledge me. I sat down at the counter where she stood on the other side looking at her laptop. She still had to feel at least something if it bothered her to see me with no shirt on. I kept on looking at her until she looked up and sighed.“I’m sorry,” I said to her. Her eyes never made contact with mine and I might as well have been invisible.She closed her laptop and looked at me briefly, then she turned around and walked to her car. I sighed. Progress was slow but I smiled, today she had looked at me, perhaps in a week she’d start talking to me.We kept up this cat and mouse game for the next two weeks until she had to talk to me. We had just finished dinn

“He’s in a good mood,” Caitlyn said as she looked around the office. I almost snorted out loud but composed my features in time. James was an asshole for letting me suffer through this alone. Some Beta he was.“How can I help you ladies?” I looked quizzically at Adara and she shrugged. She wanted to be in my office as much as I wanted to be back in the realm of death. She obviously hadn’t told Caitlyn about the problems we’d been having and I would use that to my advantage.“We thought we’d take you to lunch,” Adara said and I sat back and smiled. “But if you’re too busy we understand,” she added quickly.“I’m never too busy for you,” I said and looked Adara in the eye.I smiled at her as Caitlyn got that “aww” look on her face and I knew if she could, she would roll her eyes at me, probably strangle me. I stood up from behind my desk and grabbed my phone. I opened the door for them and led them to the elevators.“You should invite James to join us,” Adara said and I smiled. There was
