Kai’s eyes scanned the never ending creatures that surrounded them— creatures that now looked more like shadows. He was doing everything he could to keep his anger and frustration at bay.He knows that Drakarion would be able to take care of himself and quite frankly, letting Drakarion go crazy might help but he doesn’t know just how things operate here.He wouldn’t want a situation where Drakarion would get trapped and he would be unable to leave. He wanted to play it safe so that he can return to their world with Catherine.“Kai….” Catherine’s voice slipped into his subconscious, and he didn’t know he was lost in thought until he looked to his side to see that Catherine had a barrier up.The creatures were trying to break through but Catherine had reinforced the barrier with a magic that burnt them as they touched. “There it is!” Kai thought as he moved closer to Catherine.A few months ago, his life had been so unbearably boring and unbearable that he always wished for a change, an

“SHUT UP!” Kai barked, his voice almost animalistic as he tried to keep Drakarion on that tight leash, but whatever this leader had done, it was evident that it was affecting the both of them.“Oh, you still think you’re in a position to protect a woman that could turn around and have a dagger in your chest.” The leader taunted.Kai’s mouth opened but not a single word came out, his muscles pulled taut and all the hair at the back of his neck stood as if there was something else really strange in the realm.As if the fact that they were in another world, cut off from their real world wasn’t strange enough. Drakarion curled under his skin, ready to rip himself out and take actions by himself.But Kai knew that was a deceptive feeling, if he gave in to the urge to let Drakarion handle things then there was a really huge chance that not only would they lose the fight but he was also going to lose Drakarion and Cyra’s soul to these things.“Give up now, Drakarion.” The leader said, slammi

MAEVE HAWTHORN.The space between us shrank and it felt as though everything around us just stopped existing as his palm cupped my face, his fingertips warm and soothing.My eyes closed, everything that wasn’t me or him fading away and before long, the tantalizing scent of his perfume hit me first, giving birth to so many butterflies in my stomach at the same time.If my body wasn’t pressed against his, I was positive that I would fall to my knees the moment his lips touched mine, my legs were jelly, threatening to give up on keeping me upright.My heart raced, and so did his. My chest rose, every breath either catching in my throat or escaping into his mouth as his tongue probed further, forcing my lips apart and making me melt.My palm pressed into his chest while his left hand rested on my lower back, god, I could remain like this forever. I want to. And I’ll get to do it soon.Enzo pulled away from me and I instantly missed the feel of his lips even though I could still feel the w

Catherine’s chest heaved, her breathing paced and a black liquid trickled down her eyes, nose, and ears. Her knees buckled, threatening to force her to the ground but she stood still, refusing to conform.“LET ME GO!” She screamed but as she barked out those words, the black liquid spilled out of her mouth. Kai’s eyes widened, his teeth baring and his palm fisted.His glare shot up and the realm trembled, he hated what he was going through, looking away from what would have passed as the sky if they were in their own world, he returned his gaze to Catherine.“Catherine!” He called, his palm slamming into the invisible wall that had erected between them. His eyes closed and he could feel that wall pulsing.The wall isn’t just a wall, it’s alive with something and even if Kai wanted to forcibly tear it down, there is no guarantee that it wouldn’t affect Catherine.Whatever his decision was going to be, he needed to think about the fact that this could potentially damage Catherine, and d

“I’m seriously sick and tired of trying to take things easy. I’ll do this. Grandpa will understand.” Kai staggered to his feet and the realm fell silent, his eyes were blazing while Catherine offered support with her magic from behind him. The world around him blurred, the bond pulsing hotter than ever and despite the fearless way she was casting the spell, showing sigils and drawing ancient circles in the air, Kai could feel her fear, her rage, her exhaustion, and most of all…. Her trust in him.She believed that not only would he save her, she trusted in his strength, she believed without a doubt that Kai was going to go quiet the realm.He had conquered the forbidden terrain and while she doesn’t know what he went through there, she knew that if he could have overcome that then there was no way that he wasn’t going to overcome this one.Her stomach twisted, her muscles screamed for her to take things easy and her heart pounded so hard and fast that it felt like her ribcage was get
