The moment Kai stepped out of the cruiser, the air shifted.His Zhilak erupted. He closed the door calmly, his senses stretching far past the empty street.Shadows loomed from above.Three shapes. Watching him like prey.Kai’s eyes narrowed. “Khyronian,” he murmured. Astrophel? Their cloaks didn’t move in the wind. Their gold-glowing eyes didn’t blink. Their mouths were sewn shut. These weren’t beasts. They were assassins. Designed for slaughter.One moved.In a blink, it descended, a black blur against the sky.Kai didn’t flinch. Instead, Zhilak cracked outward from his body like lightning from a sealed vault. He vanished from the spot, leaving only shattered concrete behind.He reappeared in an abandoned rail yard a few miles away. It was one of the places he’d marked, a safe zone, in case someone got bold.Tonight, they had.The demons shimmered into view. They had followed his mana trail.Kai raised his hand. A glowing sigil appeared mid-air, forming a circular gate with three ri

Kymani’s hands hovered over the array of herbs and powders on her apothecary counter, but her breath hitched before she could reach for the ginger root.A low hum shuddered through the space. It wasn’t physical.The jar in front of her cracked.“No,” she whispered, eyes defocusing. The familiar tug behind her ribcage,warm, divine, and all-consuming, snapped taut.Then came the vision.Like someone tearing open the clouds in her mind, Kymani was taken. She gasped, her body shivering as her consciousness was thrown into a different place, Kai’s zhilak roared like thunder across a blood-stained sky. Symbols she hadn’t seen in three years burned into the air behind him, a call to war and sovereignty. His presence bloomed like a celestial fracture across the capital.He’s back.She staggered into a shelf, glass shattering around her.A customer screamed.“Out,” Kymani gasped, clutching the edge of the counter. Her breath came in sharp bursts. “Everyone out!”The apothecary emptied in secon

The air in the boutique had shifted.Everett stood frozen, blinking like he hadn’t just been handed the biggest embarrassment of his trust-funded life.Kai stepped closer, the silence around them so sharp it felt like glass waiting to shatter. The staff watched from behind shelves and mirrored panels. No one dared move.“I said—move.”Kai’s voice wasn’t loud. It didn’t need to be.Everett’s lips parted, then closed again, his Adam’s apple bobbing with a thick swallow. He took a shaky step back, but Kai didn’t let him off that easily.“Before you go,” Kai murmured, “let’s make something clear.”He reached into the glass case, which was now unlocked with a soft click at Clara’s command, and lifted the limited-edition chrono Everett had been mocking him for admiring. A midnight-black dial, obsidian casing, diamond-studded compass ring. One of ten in the entire world.Kai held it up with the same indifference a monarch might display a coin. “You said this cost more than my year’s rent?”E

Back in the mansion, Kai carried Sarah gently to the medical wing Maverick had prepared weeks ago. The surgeons on standby didn’t speak as he placed her down, they just bowed and worked.Maverick stood at the doorway, arms crossed, face grim. “The third one was carrying a Nexarath guild token. Shadow Seer’s network.”Kai didn’t respond. His gaze was fixed on Sarah’s face, pale and bruised, but breathing.“I’ve failed you,” he whispered, brushing hair from her cheek. He hated himself.Maverick said nothing.Kai stood slowly, and every light in the room dimmed. The zhilak around him coiled tighter than ever before, as if feeding off his wrath.“When she wakes,” Kai said quietly, “tell her I’ve gone hunting.”“Who?” Maverick asked. He was in no position to question his commander. He would do the same.Kai turned. His eyes were pure frost.“Everyone.”One Day LaterThe city buzzed. Whispers filled the alleys, the guild halls, even the hidden floors of the Black Market.Three assassins ha

In the city, Kai and Sarah’s names were on everyone’s lips. The couple that lived in the black mansion. Owners of the Bush complex and the Dynasty hotel.The emergence of the Rylans rocked everyone’s world in the capital and it had barely been a week since they moved.~Sarah stirred in the warmth of the mansion’s master bedroom, one hand resting absently on the curve of her belly. She was taking a nap, enjoying the peace and tranquility her new life. She had just drifted off again when the glass shattered.Three figures slipped into the room like ghosts, dressed in black from head to toe, faces hidden behind narrow masks. They moved with deadly elegance.Sarah gasped as the first blade pierced her side.“Ah.” She grunted, suddenly feeling weak. Sarah’s eyes darted from side to side, desperate to catch a glimpse of just one face. She didn’t see any.Another figure lounged at her and to everyone’s surprise, Sarah jumped up, ignoring the pain on her side. She pressed hard against the b

“No..no way! Uncle’s gonna kill me!” He was most certainly an overgrown teenager.“I take it you’ll hand over the documents and all necessities to Maverick, here. He handles all my businesses.” Kai said and Maverick approached the now-past CEO.“Wait! Please! I didn’t really think anyone had that kind of money. You see. When you called and showed interest I assumed that even if my an elephant;s hair you had a hundred billion, there was no chance. Kai smiled again, “why, you haven’t even cashed the cheque yet. What if it bounces?”That was his sadistic and ruthless commander. Maverick smiled. Kai ruled by fear. Those in Nexarath knew to fear him but it wasn’t just because they knew he could kill them. Some gossiped that his Zhilak was from a demon that lived thousands of years ago long before any ruling houses. Maverick attributed it to his Zhilak though. Kai wore an impressionable aura.The man cleared his throat,” I know you have the money. I… heard about the Bush complex.”“Word

Waiting felt like eternity, but Mason was just simply grateful to have his friend there even if he had persuaded them to return home but was promptly ignored of course. He was still glad. Glad he did not have to go through something like this alone, it would have been a nightmare to be honest.Mason stared at the time, the surgery had been going on for about two hours now, but he refused to think negatively, he could not really afford it, so he sat still and told himself that they were only doing what needed to be done.He picked up the drink Young had bought finally, he needed to stay hydrated, so he threw it down his throat, grimacing in the process as it burned him while going down. And he sniffed, his throat dry, he did not like that so much time had passed by it was becoming worrisome.“Don't worry. It sometimes takes this long you know.” Young offered and Mason nodded at him with a grateful smile, his friends were everything. He had no idea how he would have survived the turmoil

Through the bright haze of pain Scarlett could hear the nurses gasp as something got stuck, she knew that the atmosphere had changed, she was a sensitive person, so from the start of the labor itself she was already harboring terrible fears, and it seemed they were going to come through after all.The nurses tried their best to reassure her, they were the best in the business they said, all she needed to do was relax, it would be alright soon, but how could she? How could she relax when she felt herself losing strength by the minute. It was a terrible feeling, the weakness started from her head, sounds strange? Well that was exactly how it started, it started from her head and spread down slowly, leaving behind a terrible trail.She opened her mouth slowly and looked at the nurse, pleading with her eyes for her to come closer.“Mason.” Scarlett whispered pathetically and the woman sighed and patted her hand before leaning down.“Mr Wilde is out talking with the doctor ma'am, they are

“Ahhhhhh!” Scarlett's cries echoed down the hall where Mason was asked to stay as he paced with his friends, they were all thinking the same thing, if she was not in freaking labor, then why was she screaming so much, the sound was already Making Mason agitated. He could not hear it, and the more he paced with his face scrunched up in worry, the more worried his friends became.“I think we should try a different hospital.” Mark finally voiced out from where he sat with his head in his hands, and Mason's eyes immediately snapped to him in concern.“Why? What do you think is wrong with this one?” He asked anxiously, and Young immediately spoke over Mark, glaring at him to keep shut as he spoke.“Absolutely nothing Mason, do not listen to Mark, listen to good things only.” He cautioned, and Mark frowned but said nothing.Immediately he heard this, Mason's worst fear was confirmed and he stood to rush into the room Scarlett was in taking deep breaths with the nurse, her hair already matte

Scarlett had been trained for such a situation, the water may most likely break in the middle of the night, they said, it happens to a lot of women, so fear not, they had advised, keep a calm head despite the heat of the moment and think rational thoughts, they had counseled.But Scarlett was in the heat of the moment, and ration was the least thing in her mind, not when she felt so anxious. The fact that the babies were not kicking her the night prior, and the fact that Mason was at ease with the company around him encouraged her to dismiss the nurses from hovering around her all night, she insisted she was alright, and with Mason being too distracted to pay attention, there was little they could do.But now she wished she could take it all back, the pain was back and back with a vengeance, with a crippling force that she could only gasp and hold her stomach. She was even afraid to move as the ground was slippery beneath her after her water broke. Scarlett was totally unprepared for

Scarlett woke up from her nap, and was pleasantly surprised to hear Mason laughing downstairs. He never seemed to laugh anymore, and just followed her anxiously with his eyes, his legs practically vibrating with the force of stopping them from jumping up and helping her.But now she heard him laughing, something so carefree in his laughter that it brought a smile to her lips as she got to her feet with the help of the nurse that was previously knitting a hat in a corner of the room.She had only agreed to let her stay in the bedroom because she found it extremely difficult to pick herself up from the bed after laying on it, she was like a proper whale now.“You know Mason, worrying till he could not anymore had always been his motto.” Mark laughed, and they all echoed it, each recounting a time when Mason almost killed himself with worry for no reason, and Mason sipped at the drink with a laugh, feeling thoroughly chagrined.*My God!” Young said softly and in awe as he stared at a th

Mason watched Scarlett gradually increase in size, and he had no idea what to feel, but one was sure though, the sight was dreadfully daunting. She was slim and fit one moment, and the next she was dragging her belly that had grown so big along that Mason was genuinely terrified that she might topple over one day, it was becoming a most genuine concern at that point.He was always hovering around and above her like a shadow, and knew that she was not pleased with it, but to Mason ever since she turned into an inflated balloon, she lost the right to decide what was best for her.The stay at home nurses he employed for her sake were paid to hover around her when he could not, and at that point Scarlett was venturing into crazy land.Mason knew that she was frustrated with his behavior, but he could not help it. She looked so tiny compared to her huge stomach that he felt the need to do something, anything, as this was partially his fault.He knew she said Children were blessings and tha
