My Mate, My Killer Chapter 17: This Deadly Desire
“That was what I’ve seen on the Moon Goddess’s fountain.” I stared at him with wide eyes as he slowly shifted back, sweaty abs greeted me and his bare skin beckoning my lips to wash all that worries away.So I looked away. Truth be told, I badly wanted to tell him that I didn’t feel a connection with Brandon, but it seems like Zarion is really convinced that I’m his step-brother’s mate. Several emotions swarmed within me further: anger, sadness, penance, and despondency etched on my system because of that. There was just pain and confusion in my chest. “For your Moon Goddess’ sake Zarion, I am not his mate!” I whined like a child, unleashing what seemed to be a kid’s tantrums. He didn’t reply, and neither did I. I felt sick, knowing that Alpha Brandon was my mate. Just a thought of it, I would rather spend my life in prison than to be trapped in his arms forever. “I can’t even feel the connection between us,” I murmured, more to myself despite the fact I saw Zarion flinch at my word
My Mate, My Killer Chapter 18: Brutal like a Werewolf
“How?” I inched closer, face more pale and focused. “How?!”He looked away, licking his lower lip. “Zarion, just… please tell me how! I’m going to do everything just so this mate thing would never happen.”“The thing is, Cassidy, I don’t know either because…” My breathing stopped for a moment. While looking at his eyes, I knew he wasn’t bluffing. “I never had a mate either. And I want it to stay that way.” I exhaled, bringing my fingers into a clench. “What—” But Zarion added before I can resume. “It’s rare to have a human mate. There are a lot of complications. Not to mention the prejudice of other wolves.” “Has that happened before?”“Yes, there was a rumor about having a human mate.”“How did it end?”“It didn’t end well, Cassidy.” “Damn it, Zarion. Just tell me how it ended!”“The human died, of course.” Zarion looked up at me with a stare that I couldn’t fathom whether worried or amusement. His sleepy eyes were giving me so many emotions. Is he really worried about me or is t
My Mate, My Killer Chapter 19: The Deal
I gasped and looked at it incredulously. Curiously. It was a human’s head dangling between his teeth yet—I do not fear any sense of fear even when he draws closer. And closer.Zarion went to the edge of the cliff, throwing the man’s head in the frozen waterfall. I only waited for the thud to echo to know that it landed. I turned to him, face full of unexplainable emotions.“Oh God, why did you kill him?”“Werewolves have no mercy, Cassidy. We can kill anyone who we think must die.” He emphasized the last word, nose flaring as if to warn me to stay back.I did take a step backward.“Okay then....” I took a deep breath and forced an exasperated smile at him. His eyes squinted because of my reaction. Does he really think I would still back out because of that? “There must be a reason why you killed that man.” He didn’t reply, and it was enough for me to inch closer to know he calmed down. Or so I thought. “I heard a girl’s scream earlier. That man was going to do something… bad… to he
My Mate, My Killer Chapter 20: With Him I Stay
Seeing him in this manner with so much dismay and heartache is utterly devastating. It’s like I’m a part of him; I feel what he feels. I become sad when he’s sad. I suppose if his mate was hearing all he’s saying now, she’d rather have a fractured arm than a broken heart. That phrase triggered Zarion, eyes blazing with fire. I’ve never seen him upset like this. I immediately looked away. “Right, you must have your reasons.” “I love that you could catch up real quick.” In a heartbeat, both of us fell into a staring contest. Basically, Zarion will leave me after helping me with the process of rejection. That’s what the deal is. In the end, it’s all about him giving me a charity case. In the end, we will still part ways. In the end—I will still be left alone. And he will still live mateless regardless if I convince him to stay or not.But I don’t want to be his charity—I want to be part of his life. His mate. Maybe, if I could work it out between u
My Mate, My Killer Chapter 21: The Healer
“Miss Bentley,” he whispered my name like an invocation. I gave him a warm smile, one that does not reach my ears but enough to warm the snow under his boot. He did not reciprocate that smile. Instead, he studied me with a pair of flabbergasted eyes as if he’d seen a floating headless ghost before him. “Yes, Mr. Esborne?” Elliot immediately stood up and pointed a finger at me. Rude, yes. But he looks cute considering his youthful features. I’ll just dismiss it as a younger sibling's tantrums.“Get her out of here!” He was now looking at Zarion, face blushing with raw anger. “Get her out of my place!” My amusement vanished in a heartbeat. “What—why? I don’t understand, Mr. Elliot—” Zarion rested his hands on his shoulder, trying to fill him with a calmness that I don’t even know if he possessed it too. “Elliot, calm down. I haven’t told you about her yet—” “No words are needed, Zarion. I could see it—smell it. She’s going to be a pr
My Mate, My Killer Chapter 22: Visions. Visions
Opening the cabinet as I found myself behind the stool, I saw him pulling out a book. A black leather book, its edges gilded and a silver crescent moon shimmer on its front cover.“I read it here before about a case. Your case, Cassidy, is rare. Extremely rare.” “Yes, it is. I’m obviously aware of that.” Zarion drew a breath and Elliot’s eyes and mine met, a silent nod reflected that he’s very much aware that Zarion was aware of that too. Elliot flipped the pages of the book, written in a language I did not bother to understand. Not even a single try. “What does it say?” I asked, brows furrowing as I rubbed both of my palms to create warmth. The cold had been much cruel today ever since we arrived at the healer’s cabin. I encouraged myself to look at the drawings instead; the art style is pretty much gothic, if not ancient. It wasn’t inked. Hues of black and white were embedded on the golden brown pages of the material. I saw the graphics of a human and a werewolf. They
My Mate, My Killer Chapter 23: Painful Secrets
Elliot welcomed me in his humble abode with warmth. Zarion did too as if he’s also the owner of the cabin. “I only have one spare room,” he smirked after that while opening the door to the said room. Indeed, it has a huge cozy space, and we have no choice left but to stay together in a single room. All alone with the great Alpha Zarion. “I’m going to sleep on the couch. You take the bed, Cassidy.” Zarion’s words are just above a whisper, as usual with a touch of his commanding tone. Without further ado, I gave him a tight nod—agreeing to his request. Requests, to be exact. One, we have to sleep in separate beds. Two, I have to clean the room and Elliot’s whole house. And three, I must not ask any personal questions. Not even asking the ridiculous thought of werewolves wearing underwears...“You think I could follow all those rules?” I asked him, challenged him. “It’s simple. You can just say no and go back to your grumpy old castle,” he replied. A maleficent grim formed on my lips
My Mate, My Killer Chapter 24: The Demons Between Us
“Give me your coat, Cassidy.” “Oh, right—here.” I took off my coat abruptly as I strode to the table. I gaped as I traced the scars on Zarion’s back with my finger. He was lying uncomfortably on the table, too uncomfortably. Heavens above, I saw him smirking in the corner of my eye probably because of my reaction. “Oh, Zarion…” I gasped. My hand remained on his back, rubbing his skin and letting him know that I am just here. I’m right here, Zarion. Don’t you worry.“Get a chair and put it in front of me so I can see your full face, Cass.” Like a child, I followed his order and pulled a chair so that I could look at his face properly. Immediately. He’s not in good condition though. “What is this, Zarion?” My voice was full of worry. “I thought you're Zarion the Great—the invincible?” I hate him so much. But why do I still care for him? I didn’t know he was suffering when I knocked on that door earlier. I never heard his screams. Didn’t even feel the wrongness in the air. Now, lookin
