Kai sighed, he knew where his grandfather was coming from, and the last thing he wanted to be was selfish and inconsiderate. He knew that understanding was the best thing to do.He thought about it and knew that a normal person wouldn’t have survived what he went through in the other realm with Catherine but he had been given a rare power, a rare chance.He should misuse it because he thought he was stronger now. “I should have known that you weren’t going to agree to this.” Kai sighed as he focused on the meal in front of him.His grandfather had always made a fuss when it came to him, but he couldn’t possibly blame gon because loss and grieve could make even the strongest man become the weakest.He had absolutely no idea what he would have done if he had failed to protect Catherine, to protect the family that were ready to risk it all for him.Yet, his grandfather had lost his son, and his wife, he had lost enough to make even a man go crazy but he was going strong and that in itsel

Atticus stuck his tongue out like he was a little child, and Teresa grinded her teeth, her fist clenching and while she didn’t say anything, it was evident that she wanted to smother him.Fabio laughed, the sound hearty. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d laughed like that. He’d been so worried about his grandson that he felt the color suddenly draining out of his world with each day that passed.But right now, not just his grandson but every other family member that he’d adopted were all seated at the table, talking and laughing, leaving the past completely behind them.This was why he wanted to leave that gathering early. He wanted to see and speak with them before they all retired to bed, especially Kai.“How was the place you went to?” It was Kai that asked and Fabio only sighed as he sat in his usual seat on the head of the table, overseeing the rest of his ‘kids’.“Well, I was able to escape from there and that’s a good thing, I guess,” Fabio responded, his fingers lacing a

Lorenzo didn’t say anything, at least not immediately as he only smiled and ran his fingers through Shadow’s hair, ruffling it and patting his head.“The last fucking thing I want you to be while I’m still alive is dead, and that’s why I’ll keep feeding you and….” His voice trailed off as he smacked the sugar bomb out of Shadow’s hand before it could get to his mouth.Lorenzo had searched Shadow and hadn’t found anything but he knew that Shadow still had a trick up his sleeve, there was no way Shadow was going to let go of all of his sugar bombs or be soft for that matter.While Lorenzo had looked away, Shadow had secretly created a portal to his room, one that enabled him to grab another handful of sugar bomb without anyone’s notice.Anyone but Lorenzo.“Fuck it!” Shadow grunted, looking at Lorenzo with eyes that he was almost sure Lorenzo wouldn’t be able to resist but he was wrong. “I didn’t think you would realize that.” He sighed.“Yeah, I know,” Lorenzo responded as he seized al

OCTAVIA ADLER. The room fell silent, it was the kind of silence that hung heavy in the air, filled with words neither of us needed to say, and I could feel my eyes slowly fluttering shut. My heart was full, my whole body trembled from the intense workout but I didn’t regret a thing, and if I had to make a choice over again, I would choose to let him use me for his pleasure again. “Are you okay?” He asked, his voice reverberating through the room, and sending cold chills down my spine. I nodded in response, my body limp, muscles weak already. “Come on, there’s something I should do.” He added, and before I could protest, his arms slipped under me. I didn’t even know that he was already standing and hovering over me. Heat pooled in my stomach before spreading towards every single part of my being, burning where it passed through, and knowing that I could never win against him, I smiled and let him pick me up. My body was heavy, boneless, but he lifted me as if I weighed less than

Catherine laughed, “I should be ashamed of myself if it isn’t, especially since I have the best teacher in the world.” She said, and Teresa joined in.The day went by quicker than any of them would’ve thought, it was almost as though the universe wanted that very moment to pass by quickly so that they can be yanked back to reality.“Dinner is ready, madams.” The maid that had opened the door to the library said politely. Catherine and Teresa paused their research and nodded.Soon, they were both walking down the hallway and towards the table where the rest of the men were already seated but for some reason, Lorenzo looked like he was furious.“Oh my, I don’t even want to begin to understand what’s going on here.” She said as she sat while Catherine chuckled lightly before joining her at the table.The dining room was alive with warmth as Atticus and Kai spoke about one of the games they’d played in Shadow’s room. “I think we should create a game room for him, we can play as much as we

“Teresa!” Catherine called as Teresa didn’t stop dragging her down the hallway, and soon, they both walked into the library where most of the research and experiments was being carried out.“Oh my god! What is going on?” Catherine asked as Teresa closed the door behind her, she looked like an absolute child as she grinned, ready to unleash on Catherine.Catherine didn’t know why she had asked, she knew the reason Teresa had dragged her away from the boys even though she didn’t want to talk about what happened in the realm.She could tell that Teresa was more interested in the pulsing soul bond, which has gotten significantly stronger after their ordeal in the other realm.“You’re going to pretend that you don’t know why I brought you here?” Teresa asked, her eyes scanning the library and finding a chair, she sank into it with a sigh.“You’ve been gone for about a month, and just like the mission in Tokyo, the both of you retired with an even stronger soul bond, how did that happen?” T
