Ch. 138
It was well past 5 now and we'd been sitting around an hour now. They'd come out once to say they had to repair her stomach and bowel as they were injured during the stabbing. Kiran was a mess, twitching his leg, chewing on his thumb. He looked so distressed and all I could do to help was hold his hand. It didn't feel like enough. Topher was standing in front of us, leaning against the wall with arms crossed. He had a soft look about him, one I hadn't seen before.
He looked at Kiran with a deep sadness, like he knew what he was going through.That's when it dawned on me that I have no idea who his parents are. Dad said that they were close friends but I don't know their names or even where they are. Topher never mentions them. Are they dead? Is that why he's looking at Kiren like he knows what he's going through? What happened to his parents?

"I want to take you somewhere. I want you to meet somebody. I understand if you don't want to come with me, given what's going on with Kiren I'm sure you're emotional. But I promised a little girl a gift so I'm going either way."Just like that he peaked my curiosity enough to actually make me want to go. Who is this little girl that he has promised a gift to. Does he have a little sister that I don't know about?"Okay okay, it's probably better that I keep busy than sit here and worry."I gave him an excuse, hoping he wouldn't realize just how curious I was to see who this person is.The scenery changed around us and we were further from the city. It looked rundown and the buildings didn't seem as well maintained. Paint was chipped, metal was rusted, and shingles were coming

Topher whisked us away before I could even say goodbye, or thank you, to Anne."Sorry, I didn't want her to ask about the babies. It's better that everyone thinks that you're carrying my child, and I can't lie to Anne." He explained."What if I don't want everyone thinking that?" I arched a brow."Zerena, don't be stubborn. It'll be easier for us all if they believe that's the case, at least for a little while. Can you just trust me on this?" He stared at me with pleading eyes. I lost myself in them for a moment. "Please." He whispered, stepping closer to me."Fine. For a little while, but you better explain why this is better later." I pointed.

"What the hell was that? That wasn't Kiran so why were your lips on him? I told you I'd respect your bond, because I thought you did too." Topher appeared before me just as Percy said he would. His arms were crossed and he held a deep scowl."Oh fu.ck off. I don't owe you an explanation. You're not my boyfriend." I snapped."You're right, I'm not. I'm your husband." He snapped back."Like hell. That wasn't by choice." I told him.I don't know what the hell happened, but in a single blink Topher pinned me against the wall of my bedroom. He had traveled us both to my room and placed me between him and a wall."You're my wife, Z.

Topher's P.O.V. Shi.t! I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have kissed her like that. Shi.t. I punched the pillow beside me, not wanting to break anything. I was just so mad when I saw the person she claimed to be her family kissing her. The other child is his and it enraged me so badly. I couldn't hold myself back. I wanted her to know how my lips felt too. Shadows, those moans. At least her body liked it, but I'm sure her mind is going crazy. The mark is buzzing uncountably and I know it won't stop until I hold her. It wants me to reconcile with her. It wants me to give her gentle attention after savagely kissing her. I'll wait until she's asleep before I go hold her. It'll ease the bond, helping her rest. I know Kiran is going to be mad. He is what really stands in my way, but th

Topher's P.O.V.I whisked myself into my seat in the meeting room, seeming like I'd been there the entire time."Good, now we are all here." Elder Stone, our oldest and lead Elder, began. "We have a problem. The north discovered a small shadow weaver boy on the black market a few days ago. They had rescued him already, but they discovered that his parents had also been captured. I was informed today by our special recon forces that they have found one of the parents. They're being held by a high-level demon.""We can't fight those. Our shadows are absolutely useless against high-level demons. It's hard to use them, even with low level ones." Elder Turner reminded us all, stating the obvious as usual."And that's where the problem lies." Elder Stone responded with a serious face. "Our only option is to kill the shadow weaver himself. We can't have the shadow's secret

Zerena's P.O.V.My visit with Percy was quick. I had let him talk to our unborn child for a moment. I tried to keep from crying while I was with him, but my heart was breaking at last night's confession. It's killing me. He acted the same as always, like nothing had happened. I don't know how he does it. I need to do it too, because I don't want us to change.I gave my parents a quick hug, and caught them up on everything as fast as I could. It was like giving them the cliff notes of my life since my last visit. Apparently, my parents never got along with Chloe and Chance. That explains that."I love you guys. Thanks for keeping Percy with you. I better go see Kiran now." I told them, giving them another hug. Am I becoming a hugger?Pft, nah."He's been great. Happy to help. Be careful and make sure not to use too powerful of a sh

Topher was bloody and out of breath. The demon before him was fu.cking massive, at least 10 feet tall. It had hooves and hairy legs like a goat. It had horns like a ram's that were long and curved. It's torso was still reminiscent of a human. Its eyes glowed orange, the way Alester's had. I thought back to that night, feeling any fear I had in me fade. I felt a new determination in me, wanting to prove that I could beat a demon. If I can beat this one, then Alester won't be a damn problem. 'Shade, I'm going to need you.' I felt Shade pull forward, lending me power. Topher was trying to tear the demon apart with his shadow, but the demon would quickly make his shadow lose power before he could do anything. There was a man cowering in the corner and three others bloodied and beaten on the floor. What the hell happened? I placed a thick strong shadow shield over my stomach to keep my babies safe before attacking. I kept hold of the darkness inside my shadows with the help of Shade.

"You need to heal." I looked at Topher, seeing how pale he looked. Thank god for his shadow's ability right now. "I need to heal them first." He started to make his way to the others, but stumbled as he took a step, clutching his side still. I caught him and forced him to sit. "You're no good to them dead. Heal yourself first, don't make me do it for you." He was losing too much blood. I have no idea how long he'd been fighting for. He was so injured and sore. His midnight blue hair was stuck to his face with blood and his nose seemed broken. I wished that I could give him some of my healing ability. I knew the mark on my neck had already healed from when the demon had strangled me. It had stopped hurting a couple minutes ago already. Topher still doesn't make an attempt to heal himself, instead reaching for one of his men. I took control of his shadow, to his surprise. I wasn't sure how to take control of a shadow's ability though, but I gave it a whirl. Learning how to tap into
