Kai looked behind him to see that Catherine wasn’t there. He was all alone. His brows furrowed as a feeling he couldn’t describe settled over him.How had he made it to this place? He thought to himself. He had vividly remembered being in the bedroom with Catherine, he remembered hearing her talk about her plans for tomorrow, but suddenly, he was here.“Whoever you are, I’m really hoping on your behalf that you know I’m not the kind of person you want trapped here with you.” He said firmly, there wasn’t a single hint of weakness in his voice or demeanor.The sound of his voice echoed back to him, resounding in his ears as he looked around. He didn’t know where he was, but he didn’t feel threatened, but at the same time he knew better than to be relaxed.He knew that they were certain entities that had the ability to manipulate feelings, although he was sure that they couldn’t manipulate his feelings, he still didn’t want to let his guard down.Kai felt a sudden presence that made him

They made it into the house, and the dimmer went by faster than Kai had thought. He could tell that they were all going to fully switch into preparation mode tomorrow as that was the only day left before the event.Catherine still looked thrown off, she would occasionally get lost in thoughts, but he had been able to manage to get her back, and then she would join the conversation, but would get lost again.He couldn’t help but think that something was wrong, and while Teresa and his grandfather had advised him to let her say things whenever she was ready, he couldn’t wait and watch her bear the burden all alone.Kai wanted to be able to help, and there was no way he could if he didn't know what was wrong with her. “Okay, I’ve been trying to keep this to myself, but are you okay?” He finally asked.They were alone in the room now, and he had been sitting on the bed, waiting for her to join him, but she had gotten so lost in thought that she didn’t even realize it.“Catherine?” Kai fin

OCTAVIA ADLER.“You’re not gonna make me repeat myself now, are you?” Aidan asked when I didn’t go on my knees, I’d already gotten so lost in my head that I didn’t know I wasn’t following his instructions.It felt like it had been so long since he last spoke to me like this, so long since he made me feel like a slut—His slut—and I was enjoying every moment of it.My stomach bubbled with an excitement that I couldn’t get rid of even if I tried, and when my eyes met his, I felt cold chills run down my spine.His grey eyes had darkened, and I could see the tip of his tongue outside, he wasn’t doing anything with it, but it was so hot that I couldn’t help but imagine it stuck between my legs while my fingers ran through his hair and held his head there.For a few days, I’d thought that Aidan was intentionally avoiding intimacy with me. He’d been intimate with me, but not in the kind of way that had my urgency brimming, not in the kind of way that made me stare at the mirror and count the

The walk through the garden had been a peaceful one, Kai was going to trust Catherine to tell him what was on her mind in due time, and pending that time, even though it was killing him, he wouldn’t ask.He didn’t want her to feel pressured, he didn’t want her to think that he was suffocating and that’s why he’s going to be taking his grandfather’s advice.“It’s been so long since I had a hot, calming tea in the gazebo like this. I almost forgot how beautiful the scenery is from here.” Fabio’s voice jolted Kai out of his thoughts.Kai couldn’t help but smile, he had liked the gazebo too the very first time he had made his way there. It was peaceful, calming, and he could hear himself breathe and think whenever he was there.He also loved the way he could see almost everything going on in the compound, he could see the people coming in and out of it, and they wouldn’t know that he would see them.Kai shared his grandfather’s sentiment, and could only smile as he closed his eyes so that

Kai’s mind wouldn’t stop circling back to the creature had killed, he hadn’t even used as much power as when he was serious about fighting, and that thing had still struggled against him.His mind also went to what his grandfather was saying, and he couldn’t help but try to complete his sentence by himself although everything he was thinking that his grandfather had wanted to say made no sense at all.He wished he could read his grandfather’s mind, but while he had a little bit of an ability to read other people’s mind, he couldn’t do that with people that were close to him.He didn’t want to have to because he believed that whatever he wanted to know if he asked, then he was going to know.The sound of an email coming in jolted him out of his thoughts, and he opened the message to see that it was a mail from one of the important people he had had the meeting with. ‘These have been in my family for centuries, I’m hoping they will be able to help because when I appraised th

“You were really just going to blurt out the reason even after clearly seeing that he’s in the dark?” Teresa asked when she was alone with Fabio who had been watching Kai until he could no longer see him.Fabio had thought that Kai knew about it, and that was why he had wanted to tell him. Although, he figured that there was a possibility that Kai was in the dark after talking and realizing that Kai still didn’t get it.“So,” Fabio started, his eyes blazing with so much more excitement than he knew what to do with. “Are you trying to tell me that I’m going to have a great grand-child?” He asked.Teresa didn’t say anything as she only shrugged, she knew he was going to keep it a secret just like Catherine wanted them to, but she wanted Fabio on the edge of his seat.She had thought that she could use this as a way to get revenge on him because he had an habit of always dragging out good news and making her feel as though something bad had happened.“Tell me, Teresa, am I really going t
