“He still hasn’t come here yet, who does he think he is? Why is he still not here?!” Lila was losing her mind as she paced around the living room.

Nora had been discharged from the hospital because the doctor thought that she was going to fare well and they were told to bring her back as soon as they noticed any changes.

Ever since they got back to the house, their minds have been nothing but a haze as they waited for the moment Kai was coming back to grovel.

“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, WHY ISN’T HE HERE YET?!” Nora yelled, her anger war reaching the peak and she knew that she couldn’t control herself.

Her blood was boiling and the calls they were getting from the mysterious family were starting to get too threatening.

Neither of them could sleep properly without thinking about the moment that Kai was going to come back to them but up until now, he hasn’t showed up.

“Is he really that proud? He should be dying by now? He should be groveling before us and begging for the antidote.” Lil

    MAEVE HAWTHORN. We settled in nicely and by the time we were— I was— done unpacking, it was already evening and Enzo insisted that he was going to do the cooking. I watched as he stood in the kitchen shirtless, chopping vegetables with terrifying precision, muscles flexing as he moved while I sat on the table that was right in the middle of the kitchen and just helped myself to the free meal in front of me, smiling stupidly as I stared. When he was done chopping, Enzo walked towards the stove and stood there, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, the soft glow of the early evening slipping in through the wide windows and brushing over his shoulders, giving me more to look at. “He’s so fucking hot.” I said to myself, in my head, as my breath grew shallow, my heart thrumming really hard against my chest. “Ahh. I have a number of things for us to do tomorrow,” Enzo said, his voice jolting me out of my thoughts but I immediately slipped back into it. His voice sounded like music to my ea

    MAEVE HAWTHORN. “Do you have your sunscreen? Oh, and that lingerie we bought when we went shopping…. Okay, I’m done packing this bag and then….” Scarlett’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts. I could hear the excitement in her voice, I could even feel it and the happiness shone so brightly in her eyes that I almost blinded myself looking right at her. “Okay, everything is set now.” She said proudly even though she had done everything by herself without giving me the time to pack anything. I didn’t want to anger the beast and ask her what she had packed but I knew really well that she had stuffed my bags with things that are both necessary and unnecessary. My mind was racing, it's sort of the first time that I would be going out with Enzo and not just out, we would be together— alone— for a few days and as exciting as it was, it was also nerve racking. Drawing in a deep breath, I placed a hand on my chest and went to my happy place which of course included Enzo and Scarlett becau

    Kai winced in pain, breathing fast as he walked. He was drenched, his clothes clinging to his body as he finally returned home, but despite being exhausted and injured, he felt a sense of accomplishment.“I got it.” He said to himself happily as he touched his side that had gotten bruised because of how much trouble he put himself through.He had succeeded in finding the rare herb, a crucial one that could cure his eldest sister, Nora Benson's, long-standing stomach ailment.“My sister can finally live a pain free life.” He said, smiling to himself as he paused to catch his breath.Kai was the adopted son of the Benson family, raised by the head of the family after being taken in from an orphanage.His fragile body had always been a source of concern, and he depended on medicine to stay healthy unlike every other person.Despite his ailments, he was a genius, clever and resourceful and in secret, he had helped the three Benson sisters resolve many of their difficulties over the years.

    “There’s a significant improvement in the way you fight but still, you need to train even harder and get better,” Fabio said as soon as they finished training.“You can’t rely on your powers because when it really comes down to it, there would be times when you would have to rely solely on your physical strength.” He added and Kai nodded.His chest heaved as he struggled to breathe, his lungs burned and he felt like it was only a matter of time before he passed out.Lorenzo had also been a part of the training but he got tired before Kai did and Shadow just really didn’t want to get involved with all the fighting.“Freshen up and rest, we’ll continue the training when I feel like it.” Fabio said before walking out of the training hall and Kai grunted.“Yes, Sir.” He said breathlessly as he collapsed onto the cold floor of the training hall, his breaths ragged and shallow.Sweat soaked through his clothes, clinging to every muscle and scar carved onto his skin like a loving testament o

    Nora couldn’t understand a single thing going on, Rebecca had told them that she negotiated with them, she had put her life on the line and got them three extra months to find Kai.What is going on right now then? Why is there an assassin coming for them in the middle of the day?Why does he want to kill them? Are those mysterious families going back on their own words?“This is just a fucking drag,” the man muttered to himself, “let’s get this over with and go find a slut to cum in.” He grinned as he advanced, each step echoing against the walls, slow and deliberate.He didn’t look like he was chasing them at all, No, he looked like he was savoring them. Enjoying their pain, he seemed to be enjoying watching them struggle to remain alive.Nora’s breath hitched as she realized he didn’t even see them as a threat, he didn’t even see them as humans, only prey.At the far end of the alley, a metal force rose, stopping them right in the middle of their run, trapping them right there but N

    Nora felt her breath catch in her throat and Lila on her other hand could barely move even though the spell holding them down had been broken.They were both frozen, completely overpowered by the intense aura that this man emitted and they didn’t need a saint to tell them that this man was from the mysterious family too.Beads of sweat formed on Nora’s forehead as she scrambled to her feet with her sister behind her. Her legs shook and her knees still felt weak but she knew that she had to stay strong for the both of them.“What do you want?” She snarled at this man, her words grinding between her teeth before making their way out and the man only laughed, a refined kind of laughter that pierced the air between them.Nora felt sick to her stomach and her chest squeezed tight, almost causing her heart to stop beating at once as she tried to hold eye contact but failed.“I can see that you’re as smart as they made you out to be,” the man said, his voice so low and chilling that it sent
