The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 46 – A Surprise In The Woods
(Brielle’s POV)There was something homey about the woods, maybe because I grew up in a place nearly like this. From here, it would take a total of ten hours to reach the headquarters since we had to cross water. It was located on an eleven square kilometers island that had never been included on the map as if it had never existed.The headquarters covered almost three square kilometers of the island, and the remaining eleven were mostly the woods, farms, and the town, which included the church, schools, residential areas, and small businesses, but all owned by the members of the Order of the Orion.My father, who held a high position in the Order, has the privilege of living in an exclusive residential area. Our home was perched in the middle of the woods, where I grew up, and was mostly trained by my parents. This was one of Giles’ many reasons for not liking me. He worked so hard to be one of the best hunters, and he thought I became part of his troop because of connections.Earlie
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 47 – Little Red Riding Hood
(Brielle’s POV)If Giles were here, he would not waste time listening to Raven blabbering trivial things about the Order, but there was something about his words swaying me from attacking him. My feet were stuck on the ground as if the roots under the old tree had snaked and imprisoned me.My nostrils flared in anger, but I never made a move against him, like I was waiting for the right time that was never coming.“You are a threat to humankind because your kind is a monster, looking at us as if we are at the bottom of the food chain. You are to answer to the Order because of the people you killed, Raven.”“Wrong!” He guffawed, silencing even the wind and birds around the area. “The Order of the Orion was terrified at the children of the night, looking at us as villains and using us as their scapegoat because they’re not willing to accept our existence. Your kind has an end, but we are immortals. We are more powerful than you.”I gritted my teeth, wanting to remind him he was created,
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 48 – The Price of Loving
(Brielle’s POV)“You are mad,” cried Grandma, sighing as she sat in the chair.“Yes, I am crazy, grandma.” I closed my eyes as I sat beside her. “Do you know how difficult it is for me to stay away from Cole?” I sniffled, propping my elbows on the top and covering my face with my palms.Instead of answering my question, she held my hands, put them on my lap, and asked me about Raven again.“Did Raven hurt you?”“I already told you; he spared me today but warned me he’d kill me next time. As if it would happen,” I hissed, sneering as I looked at her. “I grew up believing the hunters are more like peacekeepers, balancing good and evil. That’s why we only hunt those like Raven and Monty. We were past those times burning the witches because of the belief they were evil, even if they're not.”She nodded. “You are right.”I shook my head. “Why is it like there is something more? Why did Raven say the Order was only using us to their advantage? What is it that they’re not telling us?”“My Go
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 49 – The Greatest Revenge
(Brielle’s POV)“This is madness!”My tears rolled down my cheeks, broken and paralyzed at what my grandmother told me. Like me, she was crying as she wiped my tears and put her arms around me. I felt her lips pressed to my head, but her kiss would not make me feel better. Cole and I were not given a choice.I remembered him yesterday, sounding mad as he talked to the council member. Recalling that long call, I now regret that I slept instead of eavesdropping.“We’re leaving at two,” I breathed.She shook her head. “Your car’s coming in two hours. Giles lied to you.”“What?” I panicked, standing up because I hadn’t said my goodbyes yet. I would die without seeing Cole before I go.“Listen to me, Gabrielle. You can’t go back to the Kirkwood because once the hunters leave the house, no one can enter again without their permission. Someone from the council will come to cast a spell to protect them from us,” she explained.I raised my hand, placing it on my chest and clutching my shirt. I
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 50 – Run Away With Me
(Brielle’s POV)My forehead was pressed on the window of the SUV, but I stared blankly at the road. The farther the car got, the heavier the pain I felt, and then it became hollow. Empty. My eyes were welling with tears, but I could not show everyone how weak I had become after leaving San Rafael.Gen and I sat at the last seat, both sitting at the edge, our heads leaning on the window. There may be a gap between us, but she could not deny she had been crying the entire trip. Her eyes were puffy, her nose red, and she would sniff as she whimpered in silence, but she never dared look in my direction.This was the first time I appreciated that the guys disliked me because it didn’t matter if they talked to me or not. I closed my eyes, forcing myself to sleep. Maybe in that way, I might forget the pang even for a while, or I could dream of Cole and be in his arms again.“I shouldn’t have agreed to babysit you,” Gen muttered in a hushed tone.I opened my eyes and glanced at her. There was
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 51 – More Questioning
(Brielle’s POV)“Help!”My heart hammered in panic inside my chest, beating so fast it hurt that when I opened my eyes, I could not breathe. I got up in bed, clutching the collar of my shirt and breathing hard as I looked around. It took me a while to realize where I was, and then I recalled we arrived late at night at the headquarters, did some paperwork for our report about Monty and Raven, and separated ways. Only Giles remained in the camp since he had no family to come home to. When I arrived home, I went straight to my bedroom, curled my body in my bed, and cried in silence. Closing my eyes, I breathed in and out, relaxing my heart and convincing myself it was only a dream. I squeezed my eyes tighter to remember the details, but I only got bits, and everything about it was vague. The only vivid memory of that nightmare was the tormenting screaming of voices, and I recognized one, my own.I hugged my knees for a while, and when I thought I was ready to face my parents, I clim
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 52 – But I Love You
(Brielle’s POV)“The princess has arrived!” Adam wolf-whistled when they saw me walking in the hallway. “And in a flowery dress. What’s the occasion, Barbie? Your birthday?” he chuckled, his eyes on my behind.I clenched my fists, ignoring him as I sat on the couch, not looking at anyone.Bryce came in with a paper cup in his hand. “I thought we’re done here. They should not have told us to leave last night if they’re to question us again,” he complained, sounding troubled with the sudden call. “Oh! Here she is.”I raised my head to see whom Bryce said had arrived. The secretary of the highest Order walked in our direction and stopped, her eyes studying us before she spoke of her purpose.“Giles, Adam, please follow me,” she muttered and then smiled reluctantly at us before turning her back on us.Giles’ eyes narrowed, and his lips were pressed tightly as he leered at me before following the secretary. Adam murmured a complaint, yet like Giles, he had no choice but to move and walked
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 53 – We Are Running Away
(Cole’s POV)“You’re crazy!”Lucilla snorted, jumping fluidly to the tree branch and sitting beside me, not minding that we were almost on top of a 100-foot-tall tree. We were done scanning the woods, a task we have been doing since the hunters of the Order of the Orion left while our siblings were busy clearing their things. Kione and Xian spent the entire night in the infirmary last night, placing their important documents, equipment, and medical specimen of their experiment in the boxes and bags. Aarush and Ichiro did the same thing with their computer equipment. Despite that, no one complained, just brokenhearted about our sudden plan to depart San Rafael.“You should not have let her go,” Lucilla muttered quietly when I didn’t say anything.“You confused me, Lucilla. The first time you saw her, you disliked her, and now you’re telling me I should not have let her go,” I smirked.“Yeah. It was before you stupidly completed your union,” She rolled her eyes and then her lips curved
