Catherine smiled, and Kai could feel the lightness of the air, it still felt so surreal that they were back, and while he knew that they had overcome, he didn’t want to let go of this moment.This was the first morning that they’d be spending together after their ordeal in the portal, so, what’s the rush?He grunted as he pulled Catherine into him, and she let him, her body melted into his, she wanted to feel all of him and she had wanted to since they got back.“What are we doing today?” She asked and Kai didn’t answer, not at first at least, it was almost as though he was thinking about how to answer the question but he still couldn’t come up with an answer.He chuckled, there was nothing he wanted to do throughout today more than being with Catherine, holding her and then spending the rest of the morning with her, he didn’t even care about food or anything.Catherine didn’t need him to respond, the way the soul bond had sent chills coursing down her spine was enough response and th

They were both quiet for the longest time, doing nothing but listen to each other breathe, they were both exhausted but now that they were together, in each other’s arms, neither of them wanted to sleep.Catherine sighed, and turned around, her gaze instantly meeting Kai’s and holding it there for a long moment before she finally cleared her throat, wanting to say what she’s been keeping in.“I didn’t think you would make a decision as rash as that.” She said, that wasn’t what she really wanted to say but it was a start, the kind of decision Kai had made because of her were all the kinds that could have been really detrimental to his health.“Why would you think that?” Kai asked, chuckling for a bit and then stopping when he saw the seriousness in her eyes. “I mean, you should know that when it comes down to you, I wouldn’t think twice.” He finished.“I know,” she replied honestly, and that was exactly what she was scared of, why wouldn’t he put himself first? Why wouldn’t he even thi

Kai finished talking and Lorenzo didn’t say anything, not at first. He couldn’t possibly say anything, not after everything Kai had just said, hitting the nail on the head.Yes, he had been feeling frustrated but he wasn’t a child, he knew that some things were meant for them to face alone without help, and the issue with the portal was one of them but still….…. He can’t help but feel like he has failed himself. He vowed to always be by Kai’s side, promising that he was going to help Kai through everything but how would he do that if he keeps standing behind.“Dang,” Lorenzo shouted before laughing so hard that there were streaks of tears in his eyes, “I look so pathetic that you had to think up a motivational speech for me.” He laughed.“Lorenzo, I—”“I understand,” Lorenzo cut in before Kai could say anything, “and I’ll admit that I was frustrated, but after what you just said, I just want to get even stronger and help in any way I can.” He added.“If Lorenzo gets any stronger than

Kai’s gaze met his grandfather’s who only shrugged, he had no idea whether or not he should tell them and it’s not because he didn’t trust them to keep it a secret but because he didn’t want to laden them with more things to carry.He had only just found out about the divine realm and regardless of the help, and what his grandfather had told him, he had his own doubts because he couldn’t stop thinking about what they were doing when they were in a pinch.They vowed to protect him and Catherine but they had comfortably sat on their own hands and watched as they fought against a realm that’s practically immortal.“Nothing much, I promise,” Kai said, yawning and scratching the back of his head as he laid on the couch so comfortably that the gang almost didn’t want to believe that it was really ‘nothing much’.“We’ve been through too much to let ourselves get bothered by anything else, I know you can feel the energy still cackling in the air….” Kai’s voice trailed off as he smiled.“But r

Their voices rang in unison as they both stared at Fabio with a look of disbelief. What did he mean by ‘they haven’t sensed any life threatening signal from them’?Catherine’s teeth clattered as she recalled everything they went through in the other realm, it had been nothing but life threatening. And at some point, she was convinced they might actually die there.It was a good thing that she believed in Kai, and the people in this realm had faith that they were going to make it back, and if they didn’t, they were ready to come as a rescue team.“That has to be a joke, right? Right?” Catherine asked, her voice guttural, her eyes twitching as anger rolled over her skin, “it’s definitely a joke, or whatever they’re using to check the signal is broken.”“True!” Kai agreed immediately, throwing away the fact that he was supposed to be the strongest. He didn’t care anymore at this point because of what he’d heard Fabio say.“What are you talking about? Everything we went through in that he

The house felt so warm that Kai couldn’t help but smile as he stared at the cup of tea that Atticus had given to him, his heart felt full and warm as he took another sip.“I heard that, Atticus!” Teresa called through gritted teeth, she was still right beside Catherine, who was smiling so hard that she could feel her facial muscles dying.“I swear to every living god that I meant everything I said as a compliment and not a death wish.” Atticus called back, his brows raising so high that it was almost obvious he was scared of Teresa.He wasn’t scared of her but their dynamic had become one that made Teresa such a big bully that every single man, including Kai, knows not to cross her deadly path.“I don’t know about that but I’m also swearing to you that I’m not going to kill you.” Teresa called back, and Lorenzo couldn’t hold back his laughter.“That’s her basically saying she’s going to kill you the next chance she gets,” Lorenzo said amidst laughter as he made his way towards Atticus
