Kaden tightened his fists, as he looked upon the scene that was threatening to cause him to explode in anger. Storm was cozying up to a Lent who looked like a deer caught in rear lights, obviously not understanding what was going on, and partly scared of what Kaden might do with him. Well, he should be scared. Kaden thought, taking a distance away from an Avery who was also watching the scene. Avery was not stupid. She knew this was the girl that had Kaden in knots, and the girl was displaying this to make Kaden jealous, and seeing the way Kaden just moved a few paces away from her, it was working for her. Behind Lent, she saw Casper and Jiraq walk in; they found the scene funny. And they weren’t surprised that the girl was in the finest bungalow in the clan, the newest actually. They knew something that she didn’t. And she didn’t like it one bit. She had given up her family for Kaden, and for his cause. She wouldn’t let herself be disrespected, or left outside the loop. Her mot
“So, when would I be moving in?” Storm asks, striving for the most part as they have traversed the entirety of the clan, to get rid of the feeling with smallness which Kaden’s rebuke had donned on her. She was more than that. She was not small. Her face was straight, with chin up, as she gazed into the blueness of Kaden’s eyes, her resolve not weakening, her stance not shaking, even when he took a few steps in her direction. They were back to his office, and the last thing on Storm’s mind was to remain there. She needed to go back home, even if for some hours, to regroup her thoughts, and organize her priorities. This would be a good time to start a diary even. She needed to document the crazy thoughts busting in her head, and the crazy happenings that had accentuated her days since she met Kaden. Yes, that was when all this fate-ish stuff had been put into roll. It was like he had been the pollination agent. “In a few hours time. You can go home and just pack up. Lent will come a
“What now, Kaden?” Storm asked, making sure that her uncomfortableness at the moment was infused in heavy proportion in her words. And when she saw Kaden shift on his feet, she was a little satisfied. Good for him to feel guilty. Watching him now, he looked like one that wanted to ask for a favour. Storm couldn’t help but wonder what possibly she could doo for Kaden. She literally had nothing. “I need your help.” She heard him say, and widened her eyes at the unbelief of the statement. What help could she possibly offer a man who could be richer than banks? Yet she nodded, indicating that he could go ahead to ask, she was listening. Kaden paced behind his desk, having shoved the lower part of his seat into the undertones of the desk. Storm watched him pace, and her curiosity topped up another level. She was beginning to feel nervous herself, the favour seems a big deal too him. “Kaden, just talk. If it is something that I can do, then I would. You have been an immense help to m
“Thanks for the ride.” Storm appreciated starkly as Jutul came to stop by the house that would be left alone to Lucy and Justin, now that she would be joining Kaden’s family. Jutul nodded. This was the first day of his job, and he already felt that he may not be liked. So much for thinking that he would be the one that would cast away her advances. It seems he would not be having a chance even if he wanted the beautiful one. “Do you want me to stay..” “Not at all.” Storm answered, opening the door, and stepping down from the car. Not looking back at the car for once, she stalked to the door and knocked, her foot tapping on the floor as she waited for either Lucy or Justin to open the door. Yet she was aware that the car hadn’t moved. Hadn’t the guy gotten the memo that he could go, and not wait? She would spend a lot of time with her friends, and might even stretch it to tomorrow or next. Would he wait till then? She shook her head. So this is what having a body guard looked li
“Where are you going?” Kaden turned around to see Jiraq hurrying after him. Shouldn’t he be with Lent instructing those that had been selected for the raid tonight? The meeting had been long but successful. Even Lintel had reported good news- Ambrosia and his uncle would be gnashing their teeth now. “I am going to see Liam, then June and her brother.” He answered, still walking. “Well, since you are…” Jiraq said, now right beside him. “You will have to know that Liam is awake, and he is asking questions about his wife and unborn baby. I had to sedate him forcefully to keep him down. I am sure he will blow me when all this is over.” Kaden stopped walking then. “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?” “You had been preparing for the meeting, so I hadn’t thought it wise to get you distracted.” Jiraq shrugged his shoulders as he spoke. “But with the raid going on tonight, and the collar removal going on in two days time, I believe that things are looking up for us.” Kaden sighed, the
“What is the matter, Lent?” Kaden asked without preamble, getting on his feet. “What happened?” Liam looked on quizzically too, wondering what else had gone wrong this time around. “Storm’s friends have been kidnapped! Storm seems to believe that the people that had been behind the attack on Liam and his family, had also been behind this one. I don't know how she knows that, but seeing as she is not an ordinary human, I am sure she has her ways. They want her for their safe release. But she is on her way to the clan, with Jutul. They had met the house turned upside down.” Lent reported, rubbing his forehead tiredly with his thumb and index finger when he was done. Kaden couldn’t believe what he was hearing. How had the mercenaries known of Storm? They must have seen the bounty then. Quickly he strolled out of the room, stopping when he heard Lent trying to resist Liam from leaving the room. “You have to rest Liam. Stop moving about.” Lent had said; to which Liam had replied: “I
When Storm stepped into the Kaden’s office, and saw the five guys in the room, she knew that Jutul had informed them of the situation, when she had been probably packing her clothes. Good, it will save her from making an explanation that will end up killing time. “When are we getting them?” She asked, without preamble, not bothering to take a seat on the table. There was a pinch of silence before Kaden gave her a reply. “Tonight. Since they are the same people that had attacked Liam and his family, then they would be holding them in the same place…” Kaden was talking, but Storm took a second to look at Liam. He had been one of those in the bar, when she had come to see Mr Tim for her debt, so of course she recognized him. He looked worse, not good. They must have hurt him hard. She wondered how he was feeling with his pregnant wife missing. She sighed, after taking note of this, and settled down. “But how did you know of them being the culprits?” She heard Kaden ask after his ex
Storm cracked one eye open, wincing when a split of headache assailed the region surrounding her forehead. What happened? She thought, shutting her eyes calmly. How had she gotten to this position? She knew she was lying straight on a bed, a very soft bed, and the sheets smelt like jasmine. She allowed her hands to roam the bed, while prepping her head to dispel the ache troubling it. She found it funny that she was a healer, and yet her body didn’t seem to understand that. How can sickness live in a body that gives health? She sighed, remembering then that healing Liam had brought her to this situation. His wounds must be so grievous. She surmised, cracking her eye open again. This time around, she could do so without wincing in pain. The ache was gone. Inhaling deeply, she sat up straight on the bed, slowly of course, not wanting to upset another nerve ending. Her eyes took in her surrounding, admiring the few touches that she hadn’t noticed before when Kaden had brought her h
