View MoreEDEN POVThe first sign of life came with me lying on my back and facing upwards and this time, with a smooth, soft blanket draped over my body. A tiny moan slipped out of me, as I wiggled out of the thick haze of dreamless sleep, then came into contact with a soft hand that caught mine in a tight grip. “Baby, hey.” He countered low, emotions clogging his throat before he raised it to his lips and showered kisses on it, paying attention to each bruised knuckle and finger. I peeled my eyes open, hating how much it was suddenly a norm to just pass out and linger in the world of the undead. I turned my head to find Riftan watching me intently, faint light casting shadows around the room and the other side of his face. Only the night lamp was on. A small smile formed on my face as I took him in, the worry lines on his forehead and the dark circles around his eyes. I was the one kidnapped and forced to sail through the blood rivers of hell, yet he was the one who looked a lot worse. "
RIFTAN POVShe was back.I could feel the warmth of her laugh as she conversed softly with her beta and some ladies, casually sipping tea. The wash of her stare would brush my side intermintedly, letting me know she was aware of my existence as I was hers.But something didn’t feel right. She laughed and talked like Eden, but it felt like a piece of her was missing, like she was here, yet she wasn’t.“A penny for your thoughts?” Khalil drawled slipping beside me and yanking the glass of whiskey from my hand, downing the brown liquid in one swig and then wincing at the burn of the fire sloshing down his throat and into his stomach.“I am still trying to figure out why Eden insisted on keeping you here.” I muttered below my breath causing him to scoff.“Seriously brother, I have atoned for my sins, paid a heavy price for trying to put up a fight against your little mate. I wouldn’t have volunteered on saving her. Besides…” A smile slithered on his lips;“She has warmed up to me pretty qu
EDEN POVThe following days passed with a murky blur. I was still recovering from having my blood sucked out of me and fed to Mr. Charcoal, and the dust was beginning to settle.There were still a lot of things that didn’t make sense, gaps that needed filling and cracks that needed to be closed; but one thing I was thankful for was how my life was back to normal.And yes, my normal involved watching my wolf play with Lucifel out of my body like little puppies in love.“You are getting better.” A familiar voice countered from above me. I spun around To find Khalil watching me intently, his face a mixture of complacence and peace.“I wasn’t that shaken.” I shrugged an elbow causing him to chuckle smoothly. He walked behind me and perched himself next to me, watching my wolf as she took off behind big large Lucifel.“You don’t look bad yourself.” I commented, taking in his full form.From being locked in the dungeon for all this time to having a one on one with the Vampire King; the man
EDEN POVThe first sign of life came with smooth murmurs of familiar voices. I was lying in my back, and this time, with a smooth, soft blanket draped on my body. A tiny moan slipped from out of me, causing the chattering to stop. “Baby, hey.” Riftan’s rough hand caught mine, and he raised it to his lips before showering kisses to it, kissing every knuckle and finger. I peeled my eyes open, hating how much it was suddenly a norm to just pass out and linger in the world of the undead. I turned my head to find Riftan watching me intently, with a very familiar figure standing behind him. Tears brimmed to my eyes upon seeing Ethan, and a smile formed on his face. “Don’t make me the bad guy. You just woke up, chipmunk.” He took two steps before dropping on the bed beside me, his hand reaching out to cup my cheek. “Riftan is telling me of all you’ve been up to.” Longing could be heard in his tone, and great concern dancing on his face. I enclosed my hand in his, then let the tears I’ve
Anything that happened from there was a mucky blur of events. The thunderous explosions created just brought problems that both Blaire and the witch had to leave, with only Raynoh guarding Mr. Charcoal. But from the look of things, he was nursed back to life; thanks to my blood. “How many gallons have you drawn?” The weak voice called out sounding much much fresher. “Too many. It should help you till you are fully recovered.” Raynoh responded. “I feel great already. Powerful. Stronger.” I imagined him swinging his arms around and flexing his muscles. Another loud explosion, and Raynoh cursed.“Stay here, I am going to call in for reinforcements.” He thundered before rushing out of the room, and I thanked the goddess for the small blessings. I was about to tell Inara to come out now that we had small audience, but the thunderous explosion courses just right outside the door, causing the stone walls to rattle and disintegrate to dust and debri. My nose caught a familiar scent. “We
Chapter 50Khalil POVI must be really crazy, or seriously tired of living. Those were the two conclusions I drew up as we soared into the night with the roar of motorbikes filling the night air. But despite having those thoughts, I couldn’t bring myself to turn. For so many reasons; one of them being the very fact that I always wanted to tip Raynor’s heart from out of his church and have him watch me as I kick around like a soccer ball. I hated the man for million reasons, and they included the fact that he killed my parents and forced my brother to grow into a soulless stone he was today. Riftan took up on the role of an alpha at sixteen, and by then, I still had dreams of drinking with him until we forgot our middle name. I lost my brother to unending responsibilities as the youngest alpha, which created a fissure in our relationship. With years of loneliness and having no one to actually turn to, we grew even further apart. So yeah, killing Raynoh the vampire tramp would brin
EDEN POV Anything that happened from there was a mucky blur of events. The thunderous explosions created just enough problems that both Blair and the witch had to leave for a quick inspection; and full-blown war if it came to that. Raynor soon burst through the door like a bat chased out of hell, breathless as he tried to explain what it was that was happening outside the door. He stayed behind guarding Mr. Charcoal, grunting and cursing the entire time. I was torn between laughing at him for hiding in here with a russ of guarding his recovering son and feeling pity for him. If he was as brave as he portrayed, he had to be down there, fighting the front line with Khalil and whoever it was he came with. They conversed softly, Charcoal's voice heard and I figured he was indeed nursed back to life; thanks to my blood. If they had even the slightest modicum of humanity left in their rotting bodies, they would set me free as a token of gratitude for having brought back their son to lif
EDEN POV The blanket of darkness slowly departed, leaving way for a dull ache around my body and the rhythmic pulsing of warm blood swimming in my nerves. I tried moving my leg, letting consciousness wash over me, only to freeze in my spot when I felt chain… no. Not chains, but metal cuffs. My mind instantly registered the position I was lying in- on my back facing the ceiling- with metal cuffs clamping my limbs in a steady position. The cuffs were tight enough to leave bruises, yet slightly loose to not restrict the flow. I felt tubes and wires inserted into my body; the replica of the ones I saw sticking out Mr Charcoal's chest, and my heart instantly dropped. I didn't need to be told to know what it was they were doing. And no, they were not feeding blood to my body, they were drawing it into mega pints, and horror replaced the warmth inside of me. Murmurs rang around the room, shadows moving before my closed eyes. I stayed unmoving on the bed, frozen and careful not to move
Chapter 50 Khalil POV I must be really crazy, or simply tired of living an empty life. Those were the two conclusions I drew up as I mounted my black beast and soared into the night with the roar of motorbikes filling the night air. The vibrations of the deep rumbles of the engine between my thighs were a living entity, the air fresher to breathe despite the pollution that clogged the sky with mucky, black smoke. The air twirled in my hair like invisible gingers, massaging my beaten-up scalp and the rest of my exhausted body. I felt alive! Even though the idea of storming through the Gemini Coven gates sounded like a one way ticket to hell; I couldn’t bring myself to turn around and disappear into the night. Which- I wouldn't lie- flashed through my mind intermittently. Of course, that would be the biggest slap in Riftan’s face; a great disappointment to the only person I was inclined to prove myself to, but then again... He was probably more used to me disappointing him than ac
