Book 2 preview
"Zuria, are you really going to leave because-" "No. I have to speak to my fathers. I have never been exposed to demons like those before, I don't know what to make of this." "You have to admit that they are hot... Oh, sorry... The problem is that you walk, talk and fight with so much precision that I sometimes forget-" Instead of offending her she laughs packing a full bag. "Thank you. Zoe, be safe. I don't know what is happening here but I want you to protect yourself. Cain and Abel will help with your and Taylor's security."
"Yah. Whatever. You said you will tell me why exactly my mom wanted me to come here." Okay, I may have borrowed some of the attitude and bravery from Zuria and it is fitting given the circumstances. "You are my destined and your mother came to me because she wanted to be sure that you are going to be safe." The way he stared into my eyes, the was my heart skipped a beat and the way my entire being longed to be with him...it's honestly scary because I believe him. Not just because he kept me safe from his own brother but because our relationship did not feel forced. "Who or what are the demons?" "What are going to do... Storm a capital?" "Those things murdered my entire family."
Why did I challenge him to a death match? I don't know in normal circumstances if I would be able to fight such energy although I am confident that if I did... I wouldn't go down without kicking or screaming. Why did he protect me from his friends who clearly wanted to rip me apart? I mean their hatred at that moment was so palpable a blind person could see. Yet his wings engulfed me and I felt the soft hiss of pain he endured trying to protect me. Why the hell did I hesitate? I couldn't do it. I was so close to destroying the demon but my heart couldn't handle it. Even thinking of hurting him brings me more pain than it would cause the man. A hunter never hesitates, hesitation has killed many experienced hunters and somehow I am not part of the statistics. A demon spared my life after I unintentionally hurt him, insulted him, threatened him and almost assaulted him. My life was spared after I thought, promised and almost executed ending his pitiful existence.
"Listen up. All of you, pay attention. Today you will put you blindfolds on. As a hunter you must be able to fight without depending on your sight but other senses." I demonstrated by walking toward the bear shifter, his aura is thick which means his bulky of big. "Common big guy bring it." "I can't fight a woman." I faced the audience and turned my back on the guy and he seems to relax his defense. "Shifters can shapeshift, demons can lurk in the dark, vampires can manipulate, fae can put on a glammor spell and a woman can be Jezebel." With great speed I gripped his arm and with all the might she manage to drag him down... a dragger appeared in her hand and she rested the threat on his neck, calm and as collected as she should have been with that demon.
I always deal with the underground world because I know Christian won't be able to deal with all the evil in this world. That's the thing with the good guys, they always have someone who protects them from the darkness and Christian has me. Down here I am not one to be messed with, I did not have to transform to my true form for everyone to know that I am the dark lord of the night. Mess with me and my objectives are clear I will cheat, kill and destroy. I will leave a line of bodies but possess the souls, I burn destruction in my reign. Christian is not made for this life. His not meant to see the level of whickardness there is in the world he wants to find his mother and force her to be apart of it. The supernatuals are ruthless, the humans are evil, the angels are deceitful and the devils seek order as well as descipline. We are called monster but yet I'm here controlling the numbers of mafias and gangs, by all means necessary.
I don't know why in back here but I am drawn. I can not eat, sleep- yes his also in my dreams. Point is that something is calling her here, to him and she also curious why. "Zoe." I saw Loralei who smiled and hugged me. These demons I despised for attacking me and my friends, they are really nice by nature. Their protectiveness reminds me of me and my best friend. "Hey. Is Christian here?" "Yes his upstairs inside his room." I already knew he is here, I can somehow feel his presence. I guess I just wanted permission to go in or something, I nodded starting my search.
I was stunned speechless my brain still fought temptations, his caress on my check... He held my head in one position and dug his teeth into the side of my neck and the tiny sting made me want to crave more. The entire experience left me completely weakened and my knees buckled and he caught me. Flushed I decided to lean on the table embarrassed and my finger must have brushed the book. The head stormed and vision blurred as I was sucked away from reality, to my mind's eye and all else disappeared.I was lost. Glancing around the haunted room and what must have been a mirror covered. Steadily I expanded my vision on a cold room, where on the far end by the window a women roared out in anguish holding something in her hand.
I woke up from a nightmare that has been playing over and over again. It felt like I was in hell and the only way to freedom was to hold on to Loki's hand... I chose to live my death over and over again. It's not that I did not want to live, the problem is that the last encounter we shared... The encounter when he shield me with his wings, there was this second when his eyes met mine. I felt his breath caress my sensitive skin and every hair on my skin shivered in anticipation. My heart pounded so hard I wanted to run away from these unreal emotions. I am scared that Loki might be my fated, I am not ready for my life to be altered. I hate that fate decided that a demon is better than nothing.
