81. {PROCEED TO READ}
It’s been a week since the attack and everyone was still on edge, when the night got darker and the estate fell silent, Kai and Catherine were together.Catherine’s hands trembled as she stood at the edge of the balcony, moonlight tracing the soft curve of her cheek as she stared into oblivion, her mind was a mess.The city lights shone beneath them, distant and indifferent and her breath came in short, shallow bursts, as if she was trying to catch something slipping right through her fingers.She had tried not to think about it and even gone as far as trying to bury herself in her work but every night, she has the same nightmare over and over again.“Kai….” She finally spoke, her voice a ghost in the dark, fragile and hesitant and deep within her she was breaking, shattering and hoping no one would lose themself in an attempt to save her.Kai could feel what she felt but he didn’t want to impose, he wanted her to speak her mind, to open up to him and so without saying a word, he step

“Yes, I know,” Teresa said as she stood beside Fabio, her eyes on Catherine and Kai and the power of the Soul Bond must have taken all of her strength because it didn’t take long for her to fall back asleep.“We have to be prepared for more people to come after her…. Or them.” Teresa added SS she watched Kai gently lay Catherine down.Kai’s brows drew together in a frown and his eyes narrowed, his palm balled into a fist and he didn’t like that he was even a second late, if he had come in earlier, he would have caught that assassin.He needed to catch at least one of them and ask questions, he wanted to know who they work for, what organization was after him.At least he knew that the Benson sisters couldn’t possibly be after his life anymore, not after what he had shown Nora the other day but it feels like as the day passes, the more the number of people after him increases.And now, he couldn’t help but think that he had dragged Catherine into his own mess now, how did their fate ge

“There’s something wrong.” Teresa said as soon as she was alone with Fabio. Catherine and Kai had gone to their various rooms to freshen up.The mission and everything was taking a toll on them and even though Teresa had said that they were going to ask Fabio lots of questions by the time they got home, none of them actually made it back home conscious.“I thought I was the only one who felt it.” Lorenzo chimed in as he looked around, the air surrounding the Grant’s estate had changed, there was a different kind of tension.“I know, since when did you notice?” Teresa asked why Fabio remained seated, deep within him, he was spiraling but he needed to remain calm for them.He also felt it, a breach in their perimeter and he knew right before they came back home that a force far stronger than the ones that Kai had been focusing on had already risen.Those forces have started making their move and there’s no doubt that every single one of them was definitely going to get dragged into it,

LOCATION: UNKNOWN.IDENTITIES: UNKNOWN.It was late at night when everyone was gathered, they were wrapped in cloaks and a dark hood that covered their faces from each other.A creepy silence radiated through the room, between them as they all stood as if they were waiting for something…. Someone… and from the look of their gathering, it was clear that they weren’t yet complete.“When will he—”“Shh.” One of them hushed when the newest member tried to speak. You don’t speak until the gathering is complete, you do not breathe a single word until the leader has finished talking.Thunder rumbled across the night sky, the low growl echoing like an omen, a horrible sign as it echoed and reverberated through the room and right in the middle of it, beneath the piercing ceiling, a circle of hooded figures stood.It was as though they were preparing for a ritual but they weren’t, the first and second awakening of Drakarion has everyone who wants their hands on his soul on the edge.And now, no

Everywhere fell silent as all eyes fell on Rebecca, Nora didn’t want to believe that Rebecca was saying what she thinks she was actually saying.There’s no way Rebecca contacted the family behind her back and had some sort of negotiation with them.“What are you talking about?” Nora asked, her voice quiet as she took a step towards Rebecca who seemed to be in rage mode.“I’m saying what you think I’m saying, Nora! I called them and bought more time but I did that because I knew just how much time we needed to actually find Kai.”“We didn’t have a plan and judging by what you said the other day, Kai does no longer seem like someone anyone can just apprehend!” Rebecca explained.A tense silence fell between her and Nora and Jake and Lila couldn’t do anything but watch and listen as their elder sisters spoke.What Rebecca had done could either make or mar the fate of their family and Lila genuinely hoped that it was going to do the former because the mysterious family didn’t seem like pe

“Okay, what’s the update now?” Nora asked into the phone and Rebecca sighed as she and Jake sat in her car, they’ve been trying all they could to find Kai to no avail.This is the third day and they’re finally meeting up at their meeting point, all attempts to get Kai proved futile and the men they sent would always come back cutting off the deal.“We still haven’t found him yet,” Rebecca responded, her dark circles were obvious and the eye bags under her eyes were so heavy that her eyes couldn’t stay open for long.“I don’t know why that family hasn’t contacted us yet but it looks like they weren’t expecting us to find Kai that quickly and are giving us more grace.” Nora said and Jake sighed.Because of that god forsaken Kai, he hadn’t had a good night rest and his whole body hurts because even though he wants to pretend to be looking for him, Rebecca Benson was always video calling.Jake was seething internally, he didn't want to get involved in the shit the Bensons had gotten thems
