FAITH“I’m so excited. Touch me. Feel me.” The demon purred, and I hesitated before grabbing both sides of his head. I had never had one react in this manner before. It was unsettling and quite possibly their reason for acting that way. “You’re excited, too. You claim to hate this, but fuck do you feel powerful doing this! You love making people suffer, don’t you? You’re just like me. You can feel me right now, but I can feel you, too."“You are not people.” I corrected. “And I am nothing like you.”My amulet burned against my breastbone, signaling Kaiden was controlling my magic, allowing me to use it, and I tensed as I felt the magic travel down my arms and to my fingertips. The soul inside the body was alone, thrumming with magic and darkness, and I took a second to grieve the innocent soul that had just been lost. “Pain,” I whispered, and the demon convulsed against the chair before his eyes opened and the green orbs changed. Even the whites of the eyes were black now, and I pus
FAITH“I’m not going to talk,” The man in the chair laughed, and my stomach flipped as I stared at his mutilated body. He looked uncomfortable but not in too much pain despite the fact that half of his face was missing. It was grotesque, and I knew I would have nightmares about it for a long time, but it got so much worse as I watched his skin start to heal and the missing parts of his body began to grow back. “What the hell?” I whispered, my eyes wide with shock as I stood in the doorway, and Kaiden spun to face me. He didn’t look surprised to see me, but he did look furious that I was there. There was no confusing his dark brown eyes for black. At the moment, they were undoubtedly black from his beast being present.His wolf was in control, and my breathing picked up as he stepped toward me. “Your presence was not requested, mate.” He growled, and I shook my head.“I am not your mate.” It wasn’t the most important part of what I had just walked in on, but it was the only thing
FAITHMy leg bounced as I sat in the library with Nova. She had claimed she wanted to have a day of relaxation to make up for all the chaos lately, but not only had she been staring outside through the window the entire time, but the book in her hands was upside down. She was babysitting me… again. Her attempts at distracting me were failing, and I was becoming increasingly more frustrated. It was only a matter of time before Kaiden summoned me to the dungeon to handle the prisoner, but I didn’t see why we couldn’t just go now and get it over with.He said last night that 'we' had to take care of it, so why did he leave without me?“I loved that book, the one you're reading." I sighed, and Nova hummed in response but didn’t look at me. “Have you gotten to the part where he is ordered to have her hanged? Oh! It’s so gripping! I was on the edge of my seat. He pulls the lever. She falls with the noose around her neck, but as soon as she drops, he changes his mind, grabs her body, and r
KAIDEN Faith was gone when I woke in the morning, and I got dressed quickly, taking the amulet from the wall safe I had and placing it back around my neck. I wasn’t even sure she realized I hadn't been wearing it, but having it back around my neck felt odd. If she had noticed it was off, she hadn't said anything. Still, it felt like I was betraying her by putting it back on when I was only doing my job. If I left it lying around, anyone could take it and her away from me, and I refused to let that happen. Surely, she wouldn’t hold it over me that I was looking out for what was best for my pack and her. A knock sounded at the door, and I called for them to enter as the guard informed me it was Juliana. I pulled on my shirt quickly before turning to face her. Juliana shoved the door open, looking annoyed as she held out a plate for me. “I’m not your maid or your servant, so don’t get used to this kind of treatment. Now, eat.” I looked down at the breakfast burrito and smiled at
FAITHIt was odd to have the guards usher me back to my room. Dinner was brought up to me, but the pack was under lockdown until the situation was contained. They were expecting the worst in retaliation for Cain’s armory being blown up, and it was terrifying. It took a long time for me to feel comfortable enough to climb into bed instead of staring out the balcony doors and even longer for me to fall asleep. I could see movement as the pack swept the area, either searching for the intruder or confirming there had only been one. It was nerve-wracking, and I wished for my wolf back so I could join the pack and get updates on what was happening through the link or help them search. At the very least, it would be nice to be able to shift in case there was an attack so I could defend myself.Before falling asleep, I decided to ask Kaiden the next morning if I could start training, anything to get my body moving and active. Physical health was important for mental health, and I needed
FAITH“Good answer,” I said, stopping before him. Kaiden leaned forward, placing his hands on my hips as he sat up, and I put mine on his shoulders. He leaned back slightly, pulling me forward as if expecting me to straddle him, but was taken by surprise as I dropped to my knees. I wanted to fuck him again, but not yet. First, I wanted to reward him for including me in everything today. Even if I didn’t like our situation or the circumstances that brought and kept me here, there was something more intimate between us after he had made an obvious effort for me.“Faith,” He groaned, lifting his hips as I undid the button and zipper on his pants and pulled them down. While he was kicking them off, I reached up, grabbed my bra, and pulled it down below my chest, pushing my breasts up. They didn’t need to be out, but I knew he would like a view, and I secretly hoped he would play with me a bit while I played with him.“You are so perfect,” Kaiden said, and I laughed. He released a lo
