Novels by Kalina

DariusMy fingers tightened around the edge of the drawer. I had put it there myself after taking it from Lianne.So where the hell was it?I turned around to see Lianne already walking toward the door.“Where do you think you're going?”She stopped. Then she turned around slowly.“Leaving.” She stated, like it was the most obvious thing ever.I stepped in front of her.“Where?”She frowned. “Why do you care?”“Because you're not leaving this house.”Her eyes narrowed. “Move.”She tried to walk past me but I grabbed her arm.“Let go of me.” She pulled hard. I didn't release her. I know the blood was important to her. I messed up big time, but I didn't want her leaving. Who knows what she'd do on impulse?My grip tightened. “You know…” I trailed. “I'm glad the blood ended up with Eirene and not your stupid boyfriend.” I knew it was childish. I just wanted her to feel even a fraction of what I did. But I soon regretted that, seeing as she was more concerned about Kai not getting it than

Darius My eyes moved from Eirene to Lianne. I didn't answer immediately. I wanted to see her reaction when I did.She was staring at me, her fingers wrapped tightly around her fork. I could hear her heartbeat spike from where I sat. I nodded slowly, eyes still fixed on her. “Yes.”She suddenly relaxed after hearing that. My brows furrowed as I wondered if I read her reaction wrong. The following second, she pushed her chair back so quickly that it scraped the floor.“I’m done.”She didn't look at any of us before walking away.I watched her leave. Cassius was already getting up.“I’m going after her.”“Wait.” I said He looked at me.“Let her go.” I smirked.“What?”I glanced at my brothers. They were both looking at me like I'd lost my mind.“This might be our chance.”Lucian frowned. “What are you talking about?”I looked around, Eirene was nowhere to be found, I was sure Lucian had everything to do with it. He hated her guts from day one.Meanwhile, Lysa was pretending to eat eve

I couldn’t stop thinking about the blood.It sat at the back of my mind all morning, no matter what I tried to do. Even when I called Kai.“How are you feeling?” I asked, pressing the phone closer to my ear as I paced my room.“A lot better than I've felt in years.” he said.“I shouldn't have left like that.” There was a small pause, then a soft chuckle. “You worry too much.”I sat on my reading table.I closed my eyes for a second. I wanted to tell him about the blood. About what happened last night. But the words didn’t come out.Everything I had read—everything I knew about wolves like that…weren’t normal. They were always hunted and feared.They brought trouble. “I’ll come see you later,” I said instead.“Alright.”We stayed on the call a few seconds longer before I hung up.I stared at my phone. Then at my drawer.My chest tightened again. I couldn't even draw another blood until next month. What if Kai relapses before then. According to the books I've read. The blood can only

DariusThe scent hit me before I even stepped inside.Blood. Not just any blood. Lianne’s.I paused at the door. My hand still on the handle.Why would there be blood in her room? My jaw tightened as I pushed the door open.The room was empty. But the scent was fresh and faint.I stepped in slowly, closing the door behind me.My eyes scanned the space. Nothing looked out of place. It didn't seem like she was in trouble.I followed the scent until I stopped in front of her closet. I pulled the drawer open and there it was.A small container with dark red blood in it. My chest tightened slightly.Why would she keep her blood? My mind raced quickly. There was another scent that I couldn't describe. It wasn’t just blood. There was something else in it. I picked it up.The moment I did, my wolf reacted with something I couldn't name. My grip tightened around the container.Could this be related to the library. It was strange that she suddenly went there and came back to store blood in a c

LianneI didn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again. The glow and the way Kai just stopped hurting.By morning, my head was pounding. I got up anyway. Staying in that room wasn’t going to help.I took a shower and prepared to go to my part time job. It wasn't my shift yet but I wanted to speak to my boss first and maybe take some more time off.The moment I opened the door, I knew I wasn’t alone. Darius was leaning against the wall, arms crossed.Cassius stood a few steps away, pacing like he hadn’t slept either.Lucian was by the window. Watching me.“You didn’t sleep,” Lucian said.I walked past them. “Neither did you.”“No one sleeps when their mate disappears for so many hours and come back looking like a mess.” Cassius muttered.I ignored that.“Where are you going?” Darius asked.I didn’t stop walking. “Out.”Footsteps followed immediately. I sighed.“I’m going to the library,” I said, turning slightly. “Not running away.” I didn't want them to know that I wanted

LianneThe moment my feet hit the ground, I didn’t stop.Cold air rushed past me as I ran deeper into the trees. I didn’t look back. I didn’t want to.“Found you.”My steps froze. I turned slowly.Lysa stood a few steps behind me, arms crossed, like she had been waiting all along. Her lips curved into a small smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.“I knew it,” she said, tilting her head. “You were never the obedient type.”I said nothing.My chest was still tight from earlier. From everything.“What do you want, Lysa?” I asked.She walked closer, her boots crunching lightly against the ground. “Relax. I’m not here to drag you back.”I didn’t believe her for a second.“You think I don’t understand?” she continued. “Being forced into a mate bond like that… especially with them.”Something in her tone felt weird.“I get it,” she said softly. “It’s not something you can just accept overnight.”I frowned slightly, studying her face. “Since when do you care?”She shrugged. “Since always. You j

At this point, the water had already turned dark red. The wounds were now clear, not looking black anymore.Lila still marveled at the power of the fountain water. Doesn't this mean that as long as anyone gets bitten around her, they could be saved.Thankfully the water can never dry up. Lila walked out of the bathroom to see her team pacing outside the door. Elliott and his group were no where to be found.She caught Victor's unfathomable gaze first, Adrian's curious ones, then the guards worried ones. Xiao Tian was asked to stay in the room.“He should be fine now” she said.They all breathed a sigh of relief. “Are you okay?” Adrian asked. He didn't know how Lila saved him, but he hoped she didn't exhaust herself to do so.“I'm fine” Lila replied. She turned to Gu Yu “get him out of the tub.”He nodded respectfully and went in with Lao Hu. After they placed him on the bed, Lila added,“Keep an eye on him,” Although the impurities have been cleared, she didn't know if any have gone

Everyone stilled. The hands on the plates paused, their eyes drawn to the front door where the sound came from.The villa gates were locked so no one really thought that it could be zombies.Could it be the stepmother?They all stood up and headed for the door. It wasn't anything they thought. "Xiao Bai" the guards echoed.They had all forgotten about him! Last night Lila had ordered that from now on they had to kill ten zombies every morning.The others had woken up earlier and decided to go and kill their own share first. Who knew that that decision would cost them Xiao Bai's life.In front of them, laid a man with bite marks on his arm and scratches on his legs. As if he had been dragged by the leg.His clothes were stained red, there was hardly any clean spot on the clothes. The Xiao Bai right now looked so different from the sunny and playful Xiao Bai that they all knew."Ahhhh" Elliott, the stepbrother screamed. "Throw him out." Although he hadn't been outside since the apocaly

Lila swatted the core off Victor's palm and held his shoulder, shaking him slightly. "Open your eyes"Once he did, she breathed a sigh of relief. "How are you feeling?""I'm okay" he shook his head "just now it felt like the core was draining my energy instead"Lila frowned, she had never heard of a zombie core draining energy from humans.Except..."Mimi" she called.A yawn came before the response. "Dumb woman, Why are you disturbing my sleep?""Why do you sleep all the time?" Lila rolled her eyes "take a look at this core, what do you think?"Lila had a guess already, but she didn't want to believe it. "This core has two colours..." Mimi jumped. "A zombie with dual ability?"Yes, a zombie with dual ability. Isn't that terrifying? Never had she heard of a zombie with dual ability. And it wasn't even a month into the apocalypse yet.She could only thank her stars that she killed the zombie early, otherwise who knows what havoc it would cause later on."So a dual ability zombie core

They were already in City J, instead of taking a break now they might as well head straight to the stepmother's place.The car moved steadily and came to a stop in a large villa area. The entrance was blocked with a lot of cars, probably by people who tried to flee when the apocalypse hit.In Lila's eyes, these cars were all treasures. She didn't hesitate to pack them up just like she did every car on the way.One had to know that people would start fighting for these things soon, also once there are space ability users packing and storing up things too, there wouldn't be any left for her.Soon they arrived in front of a large villa. They didn't encounter much zombies on the way, after all the entrance was blocked with cars and zombies couldn't get in.The villa's iron gates were wide open. The moment the car stopped, the main door was slightly opened from the inside. A head popped out trying to see who was in the car.Once Lila and her group got out, they heard an excited scream. “It

Before Adrian could reach Lila, the chair had already smashed against her head, shattering to pieces.Adrian's eyes shook, jaw clenched. He hadn't gotten used to his powers, hence forgetting that he could have used his abilities to change the trajectory of the chair.He got to Lila, held her shoulders and asked worriedly, “Are you okay? Why didn't you dogde?”“Where is the fun in that?” It has been long since she felt such physical pain and it still hurt as she remembered.Those days when her father would hit her mother and she'll shield her mother with her little body...She turned to the two men in front of her who looked like they had seen a ghost. They had after all hit her with such an heavy chair yet she stood with her back straight,There wasn't even a sign of pain!Actually Lila had heard low voices from outside just now. She hadn't expected that other than the woman and her daughter there were also two men in the bookstore.She looked around, there were signs indicating that

A mixture of emotions flashed in Lila's eyes before finally settling on determination.The zombies before them all looked the same as the ones they've dealt with previously, but as someone who had fought them for over two years,Lila could tell that the two zombies at the front were definitely level two.They were faster and were obviously the ones leading the others.One had to know that there was leadership even among zombies. Just like how human would create bases later on, zombies would also create hordes.She was shocked at first. Even if things were progressing fast in this life, it shouldn't be this fast, right?.In the previous life, it was a month into the apocalypse that level two zombies began to appear.Or could it be that they had appeared much earlier but humans discovered them later?Will humans also evolve faster? She could only hope that they do, she doesn't want the humans to get wiped out by zombies.Anyway this zombies came at a good time, she would get their cores
