The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 40 – Not Welcome
(Brielle’s POV)“Fifteen minutes.”Aarush alerted us when he walked to the kitchen but stopped at the island to grab a garlic cheese breadstick from the rectangular white platter Xian had baked. Cole explained to me that this was Xian’s way of releasing stress. Baking. Today she had chosen Ichiro and Aarush’s favorite snack, and she seemed to have succeeded when Aarush moaned as he took a bite. He finished one piece before sitting across from us.“Should we stay here and wait?” Ichiro glanced at us before opening the refrigerator.Before Aarush came, he and Kione were planning what to serve for dinner, part of their drama of making everyone nothing but ordinary. I wanted to remind them that we knew they were vampire hunters and that there was no need to pretend, but I understood their worries. None of us would like others to have a hint that Cole and Lucilla were different.“Should we stay here and wait?” he asked curiously. “We could stay in the family room.”“Too late. They’re at th
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 41 – More Time
(Brielle’s POV)“What do you mean you can’t?” I asked Giles and then glanced at Lucilla, who shrugged as she looked in Giles’ direction. “It’s up to him if he wants to stay here or get inside,” she said, raising both hands and turning her back on us.“I can’t,” he repeated and sighed, waiting for Lucilla to be gone. “I need to talk to you before joining the others inside.”I almost breathed in relief, but I held my breath, not wanting him to think there was something more about what happened last night. Pursing my lips, I glanced at the ajar door and then nodded at him, walking toward the door and closing it.“What do you want to talk about?” I asked, sitting on the step Gen sat on a while ago.“About last night,” He began, leaning on the railing, facing the door as if waiting for anyone to go out. “What exactly happened?”Ah! He was confirming Gen’s report. Raising my eyebrows, I tilted my head and smirked at him.“Didn’t Gen tell you everything?” I asked, looking him in the eye.“W
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 42 – Passing the Initiation
(Cole’s POV)“You think this is enough?” Kione asked without looking at us.Kione breathed out nervously as she studied the food served at the dinner table, then raised her index finger, counting the plates she had placed on the table. If the dishes she and Ichiro prepared were not enough, only they could know about it. Dessert, maybe?“Don’t worry, Kione. This is like a feast for us already,” Gen chuckled. “We don’t get the chance to eat a full meal while on a hunt.”She turned her head and smiled at Gen as she brought the one Kione thought might be missing, the drinks.“Really? That hard to be a hunter, huh?” Her eyebrows knitted for a second, then she shrugged her shoulders. “How about a massage later?”“I’d love that,” she winked at her. “Giving Brielle a massage later, Cole?” She turned to me, wiggling her eyebrows, her lips curving a naughty smile.Gen guffawed when Brielle’s cheeks turned red but pressed her lips when she saw Aarush leading the others to the dining room. She li
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 43 – We Have All Night
(Brielle’s POV)I could not stop pacing the room when we entered the master’s bedroom. Giles must be kidding me, doing one of his tricks to prove I didn’t belong to them. I nearly had a panic attack when he announced his change of plan of not going back tomorrow to our headquarters.Cole’s three sisters, except for Gen, were sitting on the edge of the Alaskan bed and following my every movement. Gen was lying on her stomach, her chin on her arms as she looked at me.“Is she okay?” I heard Kione whispering to her girlfriend.“I’m not sure, but I didn’t know there’s such a thing as an initiation in the group,” she climbed down the bed and blocked my way. “Why don’t you just think of this as your chance of Giles and Adam seeing you as their equal?”My lips puckered up as I stared at her. “Why are you giving so much away, Gen?”“Me?” She raised her eyebrows, pointing her index fingers at herself.I shook my head because I didn’t know if it was Gen or me who was giving too much information
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 44 – Mine… Forever
(Cole’s POV)The sun was just about to rise from the horizon, but Giles and his men were already out, engaging in physical activity. The night must have gifted them with good sleep because they seemed full of energy as they ran. I stood by the patio, pretending to have my coffee, but I was actually watching their moves, studying their strengths and ability.It was just after the witching hour when I woke up as Brielle got up and climbed down from the bed. I pretended to be asleep so she would not feel obligated to return to bed, but as she walked naked to pick up her clothes, I could not stop watching her get dressed. When she turned her gaze to the bed and saw me awake, she gave me a wicked smile, walked toward me in her sexy clothes, and kissed me ferociously before walking out of the bedroom.Giles called them, giving them some time for stretching and then doing hand-to-hand combat after pairing Gen and Adam, and Brielle against Bryce. My head moved in the direction where Brielle a
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 45 – Not Ready To Leave
(Brielle’s POV)“You won, but you look like you lost,” Cole tilted his head to look at my face as we walked toward the kitchen, hoping to have a cup of coffee.A while ago, I was ecstatic, but now I looked like someone who won the lottery but lost my ticket. It was never a good win. I have seen how Bryce and Giles fought, and they were not here in the best squad in the Order if they were not good in the field.“Here’s what I thought,” I whispered, leaning closer to him. “Bryce was trying to be nice to me because you’re watching, and Giles wanted to go easy on me.”He chuckled, kissing my temple. “You, my huntress, are good. If I had not seen you fight, I would have believed they took it easy on you.”I sighed, glad that Cole could not read my mind. It would have been embarrassing if he knew that I had this intuition that Bryce liked me and that Giles had something running on his mind like an evil plan.“How about we do the training together?” Cole asked as we reached the kitchen.“Bri
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 46 – A Surprise In The Woods
(Brielle’s POV)There was something homey about the woods, maybe because I grew up in a place nearly like this. From here, it would take a total of ten hours to reach the headquarters since we had to cross water. It was located on an eleven square kilometers island that had never been included on the map as if it had never existed.The headquarters covered almost three square kilometers of the island, and the remaining eleven were mostly the woods, farms, and the town, which included the church, schools, residential areas, and small businesses, but all owned by the members of the Order of the Orion.My father, who held a high position in the Order, has the privilege of living in an exclusive residential area. Our home was perched in the middle of the woods, where I grew up, and was mostly trained by my parents. This was one of Giles’ many reasons for not liking me. He worked so hard to be one of the best hunters, and he thought I became part of his troop because of connections.Earlie
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 47 – Little Red Riding Hood
(Brielle’s POV)If Giles were here, he would not waste time listening to Raven blabbering trivial things about the Order, but there was something about his words swaying me from attacking him. My feet were stuck on the ground as if the roots under the old tree had snaked and imprisoned me.My nostrils flared in anger, but I never made a move against him, like I was waiting for the right time that was never coming.“You are a threat to humankind because your kind is a monster, looking at us as if we are at the bottom of the food chain. You are to answer to the Order because of the people you killed, Raven.”“Wrong!” He guffawed, silencing even the wind and birds around the area. “The Order of the Orion was terrified at the children of the night, looking at us as villains and using us as their scapegoat because they’re not willing to accept our existence. Your kind has an end, but we are immortals. We are more powerful than you.”I gritted my teeth, wanting to remind him he was created,
