MYSTERIOUS HALL.“There’s not much time left, what are you going to do?” One of the men dressed in an overall black cloak and a mask asked.There were about ten people seated at the high table and the head of the table was usually reserved for the leader but right now, the leader wasn’t present.“The leader is going to have each of our heads on a silver platter if he finds out that Kai has passed through the first stage of awakening as the God Of War.” Another said.The hall fell silent with an eerie aura, any normal person would have gotten scared walking into the hall to see that it was completely dark with men dressed in black cloaks and masks.The organization has been doing everything in their power to see to it that Kai doesn’t awaken his true power and that was why despite the prophecy, they had orchestrated his kidnap.They took Kai Grant and handed him over to the Bensons, giving them so much wealth and blessing with only a simple instruction.They have to absolutely make sur

Kai laughed, he never realized that Catherine was so clumsy because she was generally always so firm and able to carry out tasks without a single mistake.It’s the reason he still wanted her to be seen as the CEO and even though she doesn’t know about it, he was learning a lot by just being next to her.His mind went over to the kiss she had mentioned and he felt heat slowly start to engulf him from within, he had never really thought about kissing her but now….“I was asking you why you couldn’t sleep,” Kai said, getting the thoughts out of his head before it could lead to something really huge, “did you have a nightmare?” He added and Catherine shook her head.“If I had a nightmare, I think that would have been better because that would mean that I was able to sleep for a few hours.” Catherine said as she sat down on the chair that Kai had pulled out for her.“So, I take it you couldn’t sleep then?” Kai questioned and Catherine nodded. She couldn’t tell Kai that the reason she could

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Kai knew he couldn’t go back to bed now and since Catherine had taken it upon herself to read books so that she could learn more about Drakarion and how she could help him, the least he could do was meet her halfway.Sighing, he pulled the book closer to him and began to read up on Drakarion, his feats and his relationship with Cyra. Some of the information was true but not entirely accurate.Time went by quickly as the sound of the clock ticking pierced through the darkness and soon, Kai could see out the window that it was starting to get bright already.“Stop….” Catherine chuckled, causing Kai to stop reading and look at her and he couldn’t help but smile at how peaceful she looked.She was drooling and he couldn’t help but be fascinated by her as he watched her sleep and saliva trickle out of her mouth.He wanted to wake and tell her to go to her room so that she could sleep properly but at the same time, she looked blissful, almost as if she was

The research was taking longer than usual and it’s been more than two weeks without a significant breakthrough but Catherine could feel that something was off.Kai was avoiding her even though they were supposed to be research partners, he wouldn’t come to the library or the lab whenever she was there.“What are you doing? Don’t you think she’s going to think she’s done something to piss you off?” Teresa asked as she took a puff of her cigarette.Kai didn’t say anything, he only sighed as he rested his back properly against the chair he was sitting on as his mind traveled far and wide.The book Teresa had found for him had hinted at a betrayal and not just that, he’s been having so many nightmares lately that makes it hard for him to face her.He needed to sort her feelings before facing her, he knew that Catherine wouldn’t betray him but for some reason, he wanted to be sure that the enemies Fabio had told him about wouldn’t be able to use Catherine to get to him.“I hope she doesn’t

“So, any significant breakthrough yet?” Fabio asked while he had lunch with Catherine but Kai was still asleep in his room and since he had been training vigorously these past days, they knew that they needed to give him some time.“Nothing much but I think Kai is learning to control Drakarion’s powers,” Catherine responded as she took a sip of her tea.“He hasn’t tried to attack me in a while.” She finished and Fabio nodded as he smiled. He didn’t want to get ahead of himself but he noticed that their relationship had gotten stronger.He could see their bond too, which was rare for the naked eye to see, but Fabio could see how much Catherine was glowing ever since that day.He was dying to ask, to know if they had thought far into the future but he didn't want to pry and wanted them to come to him when they were ready.“What’s going on?” Catherine’s voice put a halt to his thoughts and he lifted his gaze to face Catherine who raised an eyebrow.It wasn’t until then that Fabio saw tha
