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,
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 48 – The Price of Loving
(Brielle’s POV)“You are mad,” cried Grandma, sighing as she sat in the chair.“Yes, I am crazy, grandma.” I closed my eyes as I sat beside her. “Do you know how difficult it is for me to stay away from Cole?” I sniffled, propping my elbows on the top and covering my face with my palms.Instead of answering my question, she held my hands, put them on my lap, and asked me about Raven again.“Did Raven hurt you?”“I already told you; he spared me today but warned me he’d kill me next time. As if it would happen,” I hissed, sneering as I looked at her. “I grew up believing the hunters are more like peacekeepers, balancing good and evil. That’s why we only hunt those like Raven and Monty. We were past those times burning the witches because of the belief they were evil, even if they're not.”She nodded. “You are right.”I shook my head. “Why is it like there is something more? Why did Raven say the Order was only using us to their advantage? What is it that they’re not telling us?”“My Go
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 49 – The Greatest Revenge
(Brielle’s POV)“This is madness!”My tears rolled down my cheeks, broken and paralyzed at what my grandmother told me. Like me, she was crying as she wiped my tears and put her arms around me. I felt her lips pressed to my head, but her kiss would not make me feel better. Cole and I were not given a choice.I remembered him yesterday, sounding mad as he talked to the council member. Recalling that long call, I now regret that I slept instead of eavesdropping.“We’re leaving at two,” I breathed.She shook her head. “Your car’s coming in two hours. Giles lied to you.”“What?” I panicked, standing up because I hadn’t said my goodbyes yet. I would die without seeing Cole before I go.“Listen to me, Gabrielle. You can’t go back to the Kirkwood because once the hunters leave the house, no one can enter again without their permission. Someone from the council will come to cast a spell to protect them from us,” she explained.I raised my hand, placing it on my chest and clutching my shirt. I
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 50 – Run Away With Me
(Brielle’s POV)My forehead was pressed on the window of the SUV, but I stared blankly at the road. The farther the car got, the heavier the pain I felt, and then it became hollow. Empty. My eyes were welling with tears, but I could not show everyone how weak I had become after leaving San Rafael.Gen and I sat at the last seat, both sitting at the edge, our heads leaning on the window. There may be a gap between us, but she could not deny she had been crying the entire trip. Her eyes were puffy, her nose red, and she would sniff as she whimpered in silence, but she never dared look in my direction.This was the first time I appreciated that the guys disliked me because it didn’t matter if they talked to me or not. I closed my eyes, forcing myself to sleep. Maybe in that way, I might forget the pang even for a while, or I could dream of Cole and be in his arms again.“I shouldn’t have agreed to babysit you,” Gen muttered in a hushed tone.I opened my eyes and glanced at her. There was
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 51 – More Questioning
(Brielle’s POV)“Help!”My heart hammered in panic inside my chest, beating so fast it hurt that when I opened my eyes, I could not breathe. I got up in bed, clutching the collar of my shirt and breathing hard as I looked around. It took me a while to realize where I was, and then I recalled we arrived late at night at the headquarters, did some paperwork for our report about Monty and Raven, and separated ways. Only Giles remained in the camp since he had no family to come home to. When I arrived home, I went straight to my bedroom, curled my body in my bed, and cried in silence. Closing my eyes, I breathed in and out, relaxing my heart and convincing myself it was only a dream. I squeezed my eyes tighter to remember the details, but I only got bits, and everything about it was vague. The only vivid memory of that nightmare was the tormenting screaming of voices, and I recognized one, my own.I hugged my knees for a while, and when I thought I was ready to face my parents, I clim
