LOGINToday, Saraya had sent Zee to sleep with his grandparents. Aadhira didn’t ask anything, knowing they both needed this time together.A gasp escaped from Saraya’s mouth when she felt Raf’s hand on her bare back. She didn’t even realize when he loosened the strings of her dress. Raf broke the kiss and lifted her in his arms.Saraya opened her eyes when she felt the mattress beneath her.Raf laid her down on the bed and hovered above her. She turned her face to the side, overwhelmed by the intensity in his eyes. Raf smiled at her shyness and pressed his lips to the side of her neck.Saraya sucked in a sharp breath as his lips touched her cold skin. Raf trailed a series of kisses from her neck to her jaw and then to her lips. He kissed her sweetly, his hands roaming over her entire body.
The garden was unusually calm that afternoon, bathed in soft sunlight and the faint chime of fairy bells—sounds only those of supernatural blood could hear. Saraya sat cross-legged on the grass, her back resting against a large tree, while Zehaan sprawled comfortably in her lap, busy tugging at a strand of her hair.Basil sat across from them, regal even in his relaxed posture, though his smile carried nothing but warmth.“So,” Saraya said excitedly, eyes sparkling, “tell me something real. Not those boring royal-meeting stories. I want to hear about the Fairy World—the fun things.”Basil chuckled, folding his wings neatly behind him. “You drive a hard bargain, niece.”Zee looked up at Basil at the sound of his laughter and pointed a chubby finger toward his wings. “Fuu&hel
“Rafael, how can someone kill her and then throw her body at our borders? Why weren’t the warriors able to catch anyone’s scent?” Saraya asked, because she knew werewolves could smell unknown humans or werewolves on their territory.Alex, Raf, VD, and Kevin were sitting around the study room. They looked at each other upon hearing this and then turned their gaze to Saraya.“Honey Bee, that’s only possible if the killer is a witch or wizard, or maybe a vampire who knows how to hide their scent. Or perhaps the killer is a werewolf who knows very well how to hide their smell from others,” Raf explained while listing all the possibilities.“I was angry with her, but I didn’t want her to die. Nobody deserves to die like this,” Saraya exclaimed in a sad tone, and they all nodded. Raf wanted to punish her, but killin
“Open your mouth, honey,” Saraya said softly to Zee. He was clinging to her as if his life depended on her. She pushed back the tears that were threatening to fall after seeing how scared this little soul was.Raf kept gazing at them silently because he knew that if he opened his mouth, nobody would be able to stop the hell. Blake informed him that Gracie was nowhere to be found; no one had seen her going anywhere.The family was shocked after coming to know that someone had dared to hurt Zee. Alex, Kevin, and Vidhant, like raging lions, left with the warriors in search of that bitch. Aadhira tried to take Zee from Saraya’s arms, but he cried and clung to her even more.Saraya assured everyone, including Raf, that she would take care of him. Currently, they were in their room, where Saraya was trying to make Zee eat something, but he refused. Saraya
“Today, maybe I got my actual family, but nobody can take the place you have in my heart. You are the first one who was there when I was alone; you are the first one who gave me the love of an actual brother. Never ever think that after getting my actual brothers, I’ll let you live in peace—because you have to bear my tantrums throughout your life,” Saraya exclaimed and wiped Vidhant’s tears after breaking the hug.Vidhant chuckled on hearing her last words, followed by the others. They were standing near the balcony door.“Remember, you told me to consider you as my brother when I cried while recalling Justin and Austin?” Saraya asked, and Vidhant nodded.“Then how can you think that I’ll leave you?” Saraya asked, and Vidhant made a sorry face.“I’ve lost two b
Saraya went toward Raf, who took her into a side embrace and kissed her temple softly. Saraya looked around with a smile on her face when suddenly she felt the absence of someone. She looked around again and realized Vidhant was missing.“Where is Vidhant?” Saraya asked, and everyone looked around.“In the balcony,” Kevin replied, pointing toward the balcony where his back was clearly visible.Saraya walked toward the balcony and found Vidhant standing there, looking at something on his cellphone.He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t realize Saraya was standing beside him. Saraya peeked at his mobile and found him scrolling through pictures of him and Saraya from different occasions. Every photo carried a funny memory behind it—moments filled with laughter, chaos, and warmth.
