Before Nora could say another word, the call dropped and she was left staring into the darkness of her room, her heart racing, a mixture of fear and anger consuming her.Kai knew about the plan, has he really premeditated it? Did he really know that she was going to try to save her sister or was this just a bet on luck that he took and happened to win.Nora’s anger was so smoldering that the room felt like its walls were closing up on her. Her teeth gritted so hard that if she hadn’t stopped, she could have lost her teeth.“How dare he?” She growled, finally letting herself speak as she pulled off her hair bonnet and ran her fingers through her hair.“How dare that filthy bastard think he can talk to me like he just did?” She asked no one in particular, her anger reaching the point that she couldn’t stop laughing.Her vision turned red, and she could taste blood right on the tip of her tongue, her heart lurched and her stomach tightened with disgust as she stared into space.“How dare

“So, you’re saying that for a prize, Jake Benson would be willing to destroy the family that did everything they could to find him, shelter him and even make him the sole heir immediately?” Catherine asked, surprise coating her voice.Everyone looked at each other, Lorenzo groaned and Atticus let out an even deeper guttural sound. They’ve all seen betrayal in all kinds but this… this was something deeper.Anyone who saw Jake Benson from a mile away would have thought that he was nothing but an angel sent to the Benson family and those with the skill to discern would immediately know that he was up to no good.Sighing, Kai ran his fingers through his hair as his mind played back every single thing that he had gone through ever since Jake appeared.His life had always been hell, he had nothing and no one and everyone in the Benson family made sure that they rubbed that on his face everyday.But as soon as Jake was found, things went from worse to worst, his life became a nightmare and K

Catherine didn’t need an explanation to know what Kai meant by ‘that’ they weren’t just changing the world, whatever drastic step Kai wanted to take, this was guaranteed that she was going to be by his side.All her life, she had always wanted to be included, never wanted to be idle while everyone else moved to work or tried to do something to make an impact and that was why she was how she was right now.The unbearable need to make an impact, the need to always want to do something and not just be saved was eating up at her and something steadier inside her when Kai declared that she was going to be with him.“I’ll get to talking to the elders and see what they find out.” Fabio said before slowly walking out of the conference room, his grandson had entrusted him with something so important, he needed to live up to expectation.He had also been digging, ever since he found Kai and noticed that he had been taking that potion that made it hard for him to find his grandson, he had been o

“Technically, not you,” Fabio responded and the room felt even colder than it was before Kai had walked in. He knew that his grandfather had been hiding something from him but he wasn’t expecting it to be this…. Huge.Some set of people from a completely different realm were doing everything within their power to fund an auction, they wanted Drakarion’s powers for themselves.They believed that Drakarion was still alive but not as the single God Of War that he had been in his lifetime, his soul was with someone else and they wanted it back.“Why?” Kai muttered, his voice lower than he intended for it to be because he knew that his grandfather must have a reason for keeping it from him until now.Now that not just the Bensons and the other organization but other realms and irregularities are coming for him and he wanted to know.He deserved to know.“Why didn’t you tell me?” Kai asked, making sure that his disappointment didn’t show in his voice as he spoke because even though he was a

“Wh— What? What does that mean in lay man terms?” Catherine asked, she got the general idea, almost understood what Shadow was trying to explain but she needed more to work with.Atticus was just as confused, if you were exiled from a different realm, that exile should apply to other realms, that was how they worked.You couldn’t leave one realm to exist in another just like a normal would do, leave one country to settle in a different one.“But that’s impossible,” Atticus pointed out while Shadow kept clacking on the keyboard, looking for other clues, his eyes moving, following the numbers and encryption codes.“If this is the work of an exile then how are they able to communicate with Nora Benson? They shouldn’t be able to do that, at least not until their exilement is revoked.” He finished.Shadow didn’t answer, not at first, and Nora and Atticus knew better than to keep pestering him for answers. He was going to talk on his own if he found something.“I think….” His voice trailed
