Catherine’s face flushed, she didn’t think that Kai was serious but seeing the look on his face as he walked out of the library, she knew that she was in for a steamy ride in the archives room.Touching up her hair so the maids and guards wouldn’t suspect something happening between her and Kai, she made her way out of the library.“Kai!” A feminine voice called behind Kai, causing him to stop in his tracks as he turned around to see Teresa whose brows were raised“Good thing I saw you,” she sighed while Kai tried to play it cool, he didn’t want to rush her but if anything, he would rather be in the archives room, waiting for Catherine to join him there.His whole being had been waiting for this and even though he knew that she shouldn’t be having lewd thoughts when they were supposed to be working, he and Catherine have been dating for a while and it’s only normal for them to want to make things even more intensely physical.“Did you just come out of the library?” Teresa asked and Ka

The cracked walls were covered with peeling wallpaper, a single flickering bulb swinging overhead and the room smelled of mildew and regret.“What’s this truth about Kai that you want to tell us about?” Jake asked as calmly as he could. Rebecca had taken a few days off work and she couldn’t be more surprised at the turn of events.She hadn’t expected that the place her elder sister would ask for them to meet would be a one room apartment in the deepest part of the slums.Rebecca couldn’t believe her eyes, she couldn’t believe that things had changed so drastically since the last time she was home.“You’re going to catch me up on this very surprising turn of events but wait, WHAT THE HELL ARE THE BENSON SISTERS AND THE SOLE HEIR DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?!” She couldn’t help but scream at the top of her lungs.“That’s a question we’ve been asking Sister Nora for a long time but she kept saying that until the whole family gathered before she could say anything.” Lila responded.“Nora!

THE GRANTS ESTATEKai sneezed, a small shiver running down his spine as he lifted his gaze. Catherine’s head immediately turned in his direction, her gaze carrying the weight of her worry.“Are you okay? Do you feel sick? Is something happening to your body?” She asked, they were in the library continuing their research.It had taken a whole lot of not just magic but also firepower to get Kai out of the trance that he had gone into when Drakarion’s soul bonded with his soul for the second time.“You don’t have to be so worried about me,” Kai said as he stood to his feet, he was a bit scared too because despite the training, it still doesn’t look like he’s able to control Drakarion.“I’m fine,” he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he walked past a worried Catherine and towards the door, “I need to train now.” He added before walking outside.Catherine couldn’t say anything as she watched him leave, she tried to reach out to him by extending her hand but Kai had left and with h

Fabio’s knuckles whitened on the steering wheel as the car rushed through the darkness, the city lights flickering past and Fabio couldn’t help but sigh as he stared at the rear view mirror.In the passenger seat, Kai lay slumped against the window, his breaths were shallow but steady, each exhale carried the faintest hint of smoldering heat.Fabio could see Kai’s chest heaving with each breath he took and when he exhaled, he could see the smoke coming out of his nose and mouth and it was almost as if he was a dragon.He didn’t want to look away from his grandson but he knew that he had to and so, he forced his eyes forward but his mind was all over the place, churning like an impatient storm.He did it.Those three words repeated in his head as if it was some sort of mantra, a mantra he both clung to and feared. Kai had not just survived but also conquered a trial that not only rejected but devoured countless others, including his own son.“The gods seem to have taken a liking to you

THREE WEEKS LATER.“Okay, I found something and since neither of us are as supernatural as you are, Kai, or you seem to be, Catherine,” Teresa said and Catherine groaned internally as she rolled her eyes a bit.“You both would be the perfect people for the mission, especially since it’s been three weeks since Kai recovered his strength, he needs this.” She added, dropping a document like paper on the table.Catherine and Kai reached forward to grab theirs, eyes wandering as they read its content and while Kai was excited to be going on a ‘mission’, Catherine couldn’t help but feel a bit scared.She knew that she should be rest assured because Kai was definitely going to protect her but at the same time, there was an unease that settled within her.“What do we know about this place?” Kai asked, dropping the documents and Catherine did the same while Teresa turned to face Shadow who had only recently hacked into one of the greatest servers ever.He had dug through tons of websites and e
