“I had no idea that much time had passed.” Kai said to himself as he got to his room, he had left before Catherine even woke up, and he hated himself because he knew that she must have been worried about him.Taking a deep breath, he opened the door and stepped into the room with an apology in his mind. He was going to apologize to her and he hoped that she would accept his apology.He had gotten so engrossed in the fight that he didn’t realize just how much time had passed, and if Teresa hadn’t stepped in, there was a big chance that he would have delayed all of them.Before leaving the bed this morning, he had made a promise to himself not to worry them or even cause them any slight inconvenience but he had been really wrong.When he stepped into the room, Kai felt as though the air had been completely knocked out of his lungs as he stared at the gorgeous woman that stood in front of me.“Oh… my… god.” He had breathed as he took in the image of her, relief washing over him. He was g

Lorenzo and Atticus could only watch as the fight between Zarus and Kai grew even more intense, the floor looked as though it was going to cave in, but it didn’t, and both Kai and Zarus looked like they were having fun.“Wow. You really are a completely different person if you’re fighting with some enthusiasm.” Kai said amidst the clanging of swords that had suddenly appeared in both their hands.Zarus didn’t say anything as he charged at Kai, who side stepped and tried to knock the sword right out of Zarus’ hands, but Zarus was quicker and he had Kai on the floor with his chest pressed to the ground.“And you don’t look like you’ve gotten any stronger.” Zarus said, and while Kai was breathing heavily, Zarus’ heart rate was normal, earning a scowl from Lorenzo.Zarus extended his hand towards Kai who took it as Zarus pulled him up. There was a little part of him that felt frustrated, the part that grew stronger because of the people that he wanted to defeat.But, during the course of

“How long do we have until we start getting ready?” Catherine asked Teresa who checked the time on the tablet she had with her.This morning when Catherine had woken up, she had been Kai, and that as she was about to step out to look for him, Teresa was already at the door and she was about to knock when Catherine opened it.“There is still time for the boys, but I don’t think we have much time like that.” Teresa responded, and when Catherine raised an eyebrow, she responded more precisely. “Four more hours.”Catherine sighed, she felt her stomach rumble and the urge to barf was suddenly so overwhelming that she had to race to the bathroom to let it all out, Teresa following right behind her.Teresa helped hold her hair up, and when Catherine was done, they both walked back to the bedroom. “Are you sure you’ll be okay to go for this?” She asked, and Catherine nodded.“I’m fine,” Catherine said with a smile, today was the day that she would eventually tell Kai that she was pregnant and

Lorenzo snarled at Zarus, who then pretended he couldn’t see that Lorenzo was angry as he continued talking. “So, while I’m here to help, I wouldn’t bank on my help if I were you.” Zarus added.”Well, unless for all of your big talks and the stupid show-offs, you’re nothing but weak pricks.” He added, and Kai sighed again, tired of how things were going.“Zarus—”“You know, I really wouldn’t interfere because trust me, I don’t care for strategic meetings or whatever.” Shadow cut in before Kai could finish talking. “But you’ve been nothing but disrespectful since you showed up at our door.” He scoffed.“And seeing as you would have nowhere else to go because, I’m guessing, if you don’t complete the mission your master entrusted you with then he wouldn’t let you go back home.” Shadow continued and everywhere fell silent.Shadow never really talked, and even though he was starting to contribute in meetings, this was still the most he had said to a stranger in one day considering the fact

“Can you guys stop coming up with a word for everything?” Catherine, who was already almost at her limit, blurted out as she looked from Kai to Zarus, and then back at Kai.“What is she talking about?” Zarus asked, pointing at Catherine while keeping his gaze on Kai. “She doesn’t know something’s gonna happen tomorrow, at your oh so big event?” He asked and Kai sighed.“Of course I know something is going to happen, I got the sign a while ago, probably before you even know and—” Zarus’ scoff caused her to stop talking as she took in a few breaths.This stranger had barely been around for five minutes and he was already getting on her last nerve, Catherine clenched and unclenched her fist as she tried to keep calm.If she could, she would have given Lorenzo the order he was waiting for; kill the prick, but after hearing a few things about who Zarus was, she knew that the man probably couldn’t die, but she wanted to get rid of him.Also, after watching Atticus and Fabio with him, she wa

The maid stepped aside as soon as Kai got to the door, and Kai could see Zarus’ irritation evident in the way he glared at him, but Kai was most excited to see him. He didn’t think that he was actually going to come, when he’d heard Zane say that he, Zane, needed Zarus to be in the human world, Kai had wanted to ask if Zarus was going to come with him, but when he woke up without Zarus, he’d thought that Zane had meant after the charity auction. “What are you doing here?” Kai asked, the question directed at Zarus before he turned to the maid. “Thank you, you can go do other things, I’ll take care of this.” He said to the maid. Without any other word or any hesitation at all, the maid bowed her head lightly and left Kai alone with Zarus who looked like he needed really long hours of sleep. “The air here is so fucking impure, I felt like I was going to barf just trying to make my fucking way to this place, and this world smells like shit too.” Zarus grunted as Kai ushered him in.
