Hi everyone I hope you guys are enjoying the book so far. My uploading days have changed so new chapters will be coming on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Thanks again everyone :) Chapter is updated
Rainn "It's Malik." As soon as those words came out of my mouth Adalyn lost it. I threw the car in reverse and peeled out of the parking lot, heading home as fast as I could. The gate was still open when I flew into the driveway. Adalyn jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped and ran into the house. I parked and ran through the house and down into the basement. Malik was almost unrecognizable and there was blood everywhere. The doctor was there and trying to save him but having no luck. Ophelia was holding a crying Adalyn and then it looked like a lightbulb went off in her head. She pushed out of Ophelia's arms and headed towards Malik. "Adalyn, I know you want to do, but remember what we said", I called to her. "Do you trust these people?" I looked around the room and all the closest people in my life were staring back at me. "With my life." "But do you trust them with mine", she asked. "Yes, I do." "Then let me do this, let me save him", she pleaded with me. I nodded
Adalyn Everyone was shocked at Liam's outburst. Mercer stepped forward. He was 6'3 all muscle with pale skin, black hair, and hazel eyes with just a tinge of red. "I'll go after him and bring him back so we can figure out what is going on." I just kept calling her repeatedly until Rainn came over and took the phone out of my hands. "Addie, we are going to find her", he tried to reassure me. "I have to call her brother and tell him." "Not yet my love let's make sure she's missing first and then we can call him." I agreed but I couldn't stop shaking, I knew something bad had happened and I knew the horrors that Typhon had inflicted on her. "What if he has her again?" "Baby I promise if he does, we will find her and bring her back." "Elodie when Mercer gets back with Liam, I need you two to go to Tabby's apartment and do some recon. I'm sure that Addie will give you, her address." Elodie moved so fast and was right next to me, I jumped. She inclined her head and I just had to
Rainn I can't believe that my brother found his destined mate and didn't tell me. I sent Adalyn upstairs to get changed for training and turned on him. "Why didn’t you tell me?" He put his head down, "You had just found Addie and I was angry and upset that she was there with someone else and didn't even acknowledge me. I let my emotions cloud my judgment and it will be the biggest regret I will ever have in this life. I shouldn't have let her go." "You know how important mates are to us. Even if she was there with that guy, you still don't know for sure whether or not she felt anything." "Look Rainn, I know I messed up, seeing you with Addie makes me realize it even more." He looked so defeated. I had never seen him like this in all our years together. "We will find her Liam." "Maybe we will, but what state will she be in when we do? Will she even be able to accept me? Who knows what that psycho is doing to her." "Right now, we need to focus on finding her and then we will
Adalyn I was so confused about what was going on, "Wait who's coming?" Rainn had a deadly look on his face, "Beherit and his demons and they aren't coming for tea." I straightened my back, I was scared to death, but I wouldn't let it show, not in front of everyone. Rainn started barking orders at everyone to make sure all the defenses were up and running and for everyone to meet in the War Room in forty-five minutes. He then grabbed my hand and took me back into the house, up the stairs, and into our room. "This may not be ideal timing, but I need you right now", he said. He started stripping my workout clothes off and tracing his fingers down my arms and onto my stomach. "Shouldn't we be helping them?" "I have other plans for you right now and it's going to be a long night." I smiled, I love this man and even though we have an unknown number of enemies coming to destroy us, all he wants to do is worship me. I reached up and cupped his cheek and pulled him in for a kiss.
TRIGGER WARNING Tabby All I see and feel is darkness. I have no idea how long I've been here. I remember leaving the bar and not feeling very good, but after that, nothing until I came to. The one man that I never wanted to see again was in front of me when I first opened my eyes. My ankle is chained, and, in the beginning, I could move around, but now I'm barely awake. When I opened my eyes for the first time and saw Typhon, I freaked out. He slapped me across the face and warned me that he would do much worse if I didn't cooperate. Then he forced himself on me. The feeling of his hands on me made me want to vomit and I fought him as much as possible despite how much he hit me. I know that I left marks on him, but it never stopped him. He just laughed at my efforts and made it as painful as possible. I lost track of the days very early on between beatings and him forcing himself on me. He at some point got tired of me fighting him, so he brought someone that he called "
Liam I can't believe I had her right in front of me and let her go. I've been beating myself up for weeks and I've never felt so out of control. Every night, I've been sneaking out of the house and heading back to the bar hoping to find the guy that she was with, but he has not been back. I can't get out of my head what might be happening to her right now. She was made for me to love and protect, and I dropped the ball big time. I headed downstairs and everyone was in the kitchen laughing and eating breakfast, but when I walked in the conversation stopped. "Don't stop having fun on my account", I said. "Liam, it’s not like that, we understand what you’re going through", Ezra said. I laughed sarcastically, "Do you? Do you really understand what I'm going through? My destined mate is somewhere with some demon doing God knows what horrendous things to her that she may never recover from, and I may never get a chance to be with her. Your mates are right there next to you, safe
Rainn When Liam called us all down to the basement, I was worried at first. I haven't seen him or talked to him very much as of late. I was very surprised to see a shifter in the cell and both Mercer and Addie confirmed that this was the guy from the bar and the jaguar shifter that was in Tabby's apartment. When he asked Elodie to interrogate the guy, I looked at Addie, "We don't have to stay here for this, we can go do something until they are done." She looked at me like I was crazy, "There is a huge possibility that he kidnaped my best friend and who knows what else I'm staying." "Elodie is not gentle in her tactics and Calliope helps on really tough ones. It almost never ends well for the person being questioned." "Rainn, I said I'm staying." There was a finality in her voice that left no room for argument. I knew if I continued, she would lose her shit on me, so I let it go. Calliope was chanting very quietly, and the guy looked panicked. "Why can't I move?" Elodie l
Adalyn So much happened in a short amount of time. Liam found the guy that Tabby had met in the bar. Elodie and Calliope questioned him to find out what happened after we left, and during our lovemaking, the marks on our chests changed again by adding Rainn's family crest. "What does this mean?", I asked him. "I'm not sure. Let’s get some sleep and we can talk to Ophelia in the morning and maybe she can do some research and find out", he said. I nodded my head in agreement and pulled him down to snuggle with me. It didn't take long for sleep to come and take me. I don't know how long I had been sleeping for before my mind opened to something, and I was in a house. I had no idea where I was, so I carefully started to explore. I didn't see anyone in the house but started going door to door. Most of the rooms looked unused with coverings over the furniture. I got to the last room on the left and for some reason I was hesitant to open it. When I finally pushed the door open, I unde
