LOGINLiora’s POVThe Forsaken came at us like a nightmare that kept coming back every night single night, refusing to just die. Even with the rising sun burning its cursed flesh and smoke rising from its rotting hide, it was still very fast. Every look at each one of us told me that it was with pure malice. And it wasn't as if we had done it any wrong after all. It was just bad business. “I will take the mate! The debt demands payment!” it shouted. My legs felt like lead. Every breath I made sent a sharp pain through my cracked ribs and torn shoulder, but I stepped forward anyway, placing myself slightly ahead of Kade. I wasn’t going to let him take the final hit alone.“Not today, you ugly bastard!” I shouted, my voice raw as ever. “You’ve taken enough from this family. You’re not getting any more!”Kade’s hand brushed my arm. “Liora, behind me..”“No,” I disagreed with him this time, my claws sliding out despite the pain that cam
Kade’s POV Day was breaking, painting the sky in bloody oranges and reds that matched the battlefield around us. The facility continued to burn in the distance, sending thick black smoke into the air like a funeral pyre. But the real monsters were still standing right in front of us. Unit Prime and the lead Forsaken had regrouped despite hating each other. One a broken product of science, the other an ancient curse given flesh. What a combination of sorts and both of them wanted us dead. I squeezed Liora’s hand once more before letting go, feeling her strength even through all the pain and blood. “Stay close. We end this together.” Liora nodded, claws out, eyes burning silver. “Damn right we do. I’m not dying before I get my steak dinner.” Sable stood on my left, rifle empty but knife in hand, face streaked with soot and blood. “They’re both weakening. Prime’s regeneration is failing. The Forsaken is leaking curs
Liora’s POV The final clash felt like it was the end of the goddamn world. Unit Prime came at us from the left like a freight train made of rage and charred flesh, while the lead Forsaken came from the right, its blood-red eyes burning with some strange kind of hunger. My body screamed in protest, shoulder torn open, ribs bruised, throat still raw from being choked, but I refused to fall. Not now. Not when we were this close. “Kade!” I shouted “I’ve got the Forsaken! You take Prime!” Kade’s black wolf form snarled in acknowledgment, launching himself at Unit Prime with every ounce of Alpha fury he had left. The impact when they collided was deafening, like two mountains crashing together. I turned to face the Forsaken, gripping the jagged metal pipe tighter even though my arms were shaking. “You want Thorn blood? Come take mine first, you disgusting parasite.” T
Kade’s POVThe explosion had turned the night sky into an inferno, if you know what I mean by that. The flames were behind us, consuming what remained of Michelle’s nightmare facility. The smoke was everywhere, thick and smelling of chemical, and everytime that I inhaled, my lungs seemed to burn. But none of that mattered.Unit Prime was still alive, and that was a problem. The monstrous creation stepped out of the blazing wreckage like a demon walking through hell. One arm was completely gone, half its body charred black and cracked, yet the hatred in those golden eyes were still very much alive. Behind it, shadows moved, the Forsaken, their blood-red eyes cutting through the smoke like fresh wounds.I pushed myself up, every bone and muscle screaming in protest. My left shoulder was shattered again, ribs cracked, and blood poured from too many gashes to count. But Liora was beneath me, breathing hard, her face stained with soot and blood.“You okay?” I asked, and cupped her cheek
Liora’s POVEverything hurt like hell.My throat was on fire, crushed under Unit Prime’s strong grip. Each breath felt like swallowing broken glass. My vision kept being unsteady, black spots dancing at the edges, but I refused to pass out. I could still see Kade fighting like a demon, bloodied and refusing to give up even for one second.I dug my nails harder into Prime’s thick wrist, trying to pry those steel fingers loose. “You.. fucking.. disappointment,” I choked out, voice barely more than a rasp. “All that power.. and you still need Michelle to tell you what to do.”Prime inclined its head at me, those cold golden eyes studying me like I was a bug under a microscope. “Defiance in the face of certain death. Illogical. Yet, intriguing. Perhaps your mate chose well.”“Shut up and die already!” I gasped.Kade’s roar shook the crumbling room as he slammed into Prime’s side with everything he had. The impact finally loosened the monster’s grip enough for me to suck in a desperate br
Kade’s POVThe core server room had cold blue light that buzzed like a bee. The servers were tall and they stretched from floor to ceiling, pulsing like bunch of living hearts. The countdown glared back at us from every screen.00:04:47Sable was already moving, pulling out a small explosive charge from her pack. “We plant this on the main nexus and run like hell. It’ll trigger a cascade failure.”I set Liora down gently against the wall. She was breathing, even blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. “Liora, talk to me.”She winced but managed a weak smirk. “I’ve had worse kisses. Finish this shit so we can get that date, Thorn.”Jax limped in behind us, dragging the door shut. “They’re tearing each other apart out there. Prime versus the Forsaken. It’s a bloodbath.”“Good,” Sable muttered, slapping the charge onto the central server. “Let them kill each other. We just need three minutes.”That sounded like a little bit of time but in such situations as this one, it could be ver
KADE The weekend passed like a flash. We enjoyed ourselves, but not to the fullest. Because I knew there were other places that we could have more of what we needed. I took her out but the Japanese country just didn't meet up to her cuisine expectations. I didn't blame her at all. Even I had
KADE Monday arrived and I realized I didn't want to go back to my estate. Whether it was in LA where my company was situated or in Bloodfang where Liora would have to make a new home with Nina. I hadn't even prepared myself or Liora for any flight back. But I knew that moment would have to com
KADE Watching her scream and moan and shake before my very eyes was like an epic film. But what I really wanted was for the both of us to reach that climax together. So, in other words, I wasn't done with her body just yet. I spread her legs and kissed the insides of her thighs. The scent
CAINE The meeting was held in a whorehouse owned by someone who belonged to the Yakuza. His name was Haruki Yamadera. I had never met the owner before but I knew the person who worked for him. A right hand man. I called him Zai. I walked in and went to the table designated for our meeting. So
