“Are you okay?” Catherine asked an absentminded Kai, she couldn’t help but notice that there was something off about him, he hadn’t been all over her like he usually was.Kai only smiled, he didn’t want to spend too much time with her because he knew that the more time he spent with her, the more likely he was to spill what she was keeping a secret.He wanted to ask her why she hadn’t time him about it, wanted to ask her why she thought that keeping a news as big as this one was a good idea, but he bit his tongue and pulled her into him.Kai pressed his lips against her forehead, hoping that would clear any doubt of him that she might have in her mind. “I’m okay.” He responded, but Catherine knew better than to believe that.She noticed how the air around him seemed to be changing, and he was slipping in and out of thoughts like she’d been doing when that creature got into her head.“Are you sure?” She asked, desperate to get him to open up, and when he nodded, assuring her that he wa

“Like I keep saying, I’m not saying anything until the time is right.” The atmosphere in the room had gotten a bit comfortable. Fabio let out a heavy sigh as he stared at Zane.Zane knew better than to try Fabio, he had experienced Fabio’s strength first hand and he knew that even though he was a divine being, Fabio was going to take him on and probably win too.Meeting with Fabio had been the reason Zane had kept on sharpening his skills. He had given Fabio his real name only when he, Zane, had been on his back while Fabio hovered over him.If he hadn’t thought fast and maneuvered the situation like he did that day, there was a big possibility that Fabio would have killed him.And there was no one living or dead that had pushed him to the point that he had to use his Ace, it had only been Fabio, and since then, while they may come off as cat and rats to other people, they became the best of friends.It was forbidden to enlist the help of humans, but Zane had given Fabio so many roles

“But that’s the only thing that’s come to me, the event is tomorrow, and the last thing I want is to lose the people that have grown important to me. I can’t—I just can’t let that happen.” Kai said firmly. Fabio, who had started making his way up the stairs, stopped and turned around to look at grandson, and for the first time in a while, he saw the fear in Kai’s eyes, and not just that. The helplessness was evident, Kai was no longer proud of his own strength, and he looked so scared that he was going to lose everything dear to him. That was something that even Fabio didn’t want to happen. Kai had grown up without his parents, he had grown up in a family that never loved him, and had instead used him in ways that they should never have done. He hadn’t had someone to love him, and now that he does, he wouldn’t want to lose them. Fabio understood that perfectly, but executing a plan that might ultimately lead to him finding out what he truly is, that was something Fabio couldn’t ri

Every one of Kai’s attempts to try and say something, to not let himself be subdued proved so futile that even though he knew Drakarion wasn’t, he could feel Drakarion suffocating him.‘I have to do something. I can’t let Drakarion-’“Can you be still and stop trying to get him back on a leash that doesn’t exist, a leash that you weren’t supposed to put on him in the first place.” Zane’s voice jolted him out of the thought that he was completely lost in.“You shouldn’t go around showcasing how weak you are, so weak that you couldn’t coexist despite merging souls with him.” Zane continued.It was almost as though Zane knew just how hard his words were hitting Kai, and despite knowing that, he didn’t care and he’d instead continued speaking.Kai’s teeth gritted as his fist clenched so hard, but he couldn’t feel anything. Something zapped through him, and his eyes widened as he was forced to a state of submission.His mind drifted to the moment that he had won the fight against Drakarion

“Why is he not waking up? Do you think he’s okay?” Catherine asked, her worry evident in the way she spoke, and also written boldly all over her face as she looked at Teresa.It’s been about an hour now since they’ve been trying everything they could to wake him up, but all of their efforts kept proving futile, and Kai wasn’t opening his eyes.Teresa tried again, conjuring the kind of magic that would have woken Kai, but while he jerked in his sleep, he didn’t open his eyes, and it didn’t take long for his body to go back to being rigid.Everyone in the house knew that he was fine, they knew he wasn’t dead because after all not only could they hear him breathing faintly and feel his pulse, but they could also feel his heart beating.His temperature wouldn’t stop rising no matter the amount of ice packs that Catherine had wrapped inside a towel before placing it on his head. “Why aren’t any of you doing something? Kai has to wake up.” She said, turning to face Atticus and Fabio.But de
