Corey started approaching Kayla, and Kayla panicking. “Let me see how Anthony saves his mate and little fairy now he's become the world's most feeble creature.” He looked back at Anthony, not breaking strides. “Lay there and watch me explore what her cooch feels like, and know what her precious blood tastes like.”Anthony and his weakened beast were troubled, yet helpless. Both were down and incapacitated. Anthony's bones were broken, his energy nearly drained, and blood leaving his mouth, ears, and nose. He wasn't sure if he could get up from the floor, as it felt like he'd die on the spot. However, something told him he could make it. It told him that he was stronger than pain. And that he was capable. That was his mate. Her panic, the terror wafting from her, told him he could make it.Corey knelt before Kayla, took strands of her hair, and sniffed it in. “Will you die from another punch to your stomach?” Kayla wasn't saying anything, as she was afraid and in tears. He wrapped his
Kayla parked in the garage at Anthony's house and alighted, trotting urgently into the house. She looked quite worried. There hadn't been a tinge of peace within her since she left Anthony at Corey's house. She'd been restless and afraid, given Anthony's condition the last time they saw. She needed to see him again and know if he was fine, only then could the turmoil within her disappear.Anthony lay on the temperature bed that emitted hot, breathable, and dry steam. An IV needle was attached to his wrist. His eyes were shut, but he was barely asleep. The illness deteriorated and made him look lifeless and helpless. He caught a fever from the symptoms. Fever caused by the vampire side was life-threatening. The cold overcame the sweatshirt he wore and the duvet he was tucked in. The temperature bed was the only solution.Seated on the edge of the bed was Alicia, staring pitifully at her dying son. She was sad to the face, dewy-eyed. Anthony's situation was out of hand earlier, so she h
“Liar,” Kayla disagreed sternly in tearfully. Her cheeks would have flushed at his words. She would've been the happiest woman in the world for having heard his confession. But she wanted more than just words. Moreover, she wasn't certain if his words were true, or if he only said that so that she changed her mind. “I’m being honest, Kayla, I love you.”“Then prove it. Tell me everything about your health.”“God.” The word escaped Anthony out of frustration. He could tell her how much he loved her for a million times, but to tell her about his health? Kayla would want to save him if he told her about his health. He wanted to avoid her from making such a sacrifice. “Please—”“Speak up already, Anthony! You can't hide it forever from me if you really love me,” Kayla yelled in anger, now weeping. How bad was it that he couldn't tell her? He was still hesitating, staging his frustration with insane gestures, even panting. Her eyes fell as hopelessness crashed in. Everything he said was a
The rain lashed down heavily at the dark, cloudy noon. The weather got surmounted by thunderstorms, lightning strikes, and rumblings. It blew a gale outside; thus, the weather was freezing. Kayla demanded that Anthony told her about his medications. She followed behind Anthony as they went into the secret room, listening as he explained each object found in the room, Sledge trotting beside them. He explained how the temperature bed helped with high temperatures. Kayla even flicked the button of the temperature bed on and off to see how it worked.So far, she hated every single thing he'd explained to her as they were all for his illness, yet they wouldn't save him from dying. The anger and strong emotions the room instilled, gave her the drive to set the room on fire, but she tamed the feelings.“Marcus must have received my gift. It's his rage that is causing the rain.”They got to the part where the medications were kept. Kayla raked her eyes through the good-for-nothing medications
Kayla walked through the hospital lobby. The hospital where Spencer worked. Spencer was the chief director of the hospital. Kayla came up with an idea, so she called Christian and Alicia to a meeting in Spencer's office. As she walked, nervousness beat her. A negative response scared her. What if she got negative responses from Spencer? Getting to Spencer's office door, she opened the door and walked in. All eyes turned to her the moment she stepped in.“Sorry that I'm late.” Kayla stepped forward, standing a few feet from the coffee table. “Anthony told me that I'm his cure. But there's no way I could make him drain me. Even if I were to try, he wouldn't give in. And I don't want to put him through the stress of resisting temptation.” “You forgot one. Losing you can make his life twisted and even worse than a life-threatening illness,” Christian added.“Are you willing to die for him?” Alicia asked.Kayla had no idea why Alicia had to ask, but she said, “I am. But for his happiness,
Like a flash, a day fled by without taking Kayla's pain away. Each day rather added to her pain and fear. Kayla stood staring at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, circling her hand gently on her stomach. One might think she overfed, but her bump was growing. A bump that just started growing would be removed tomorrow. Tomorrow would be a day she'd wish she never closed her eyes to remember. She would lose her baby tomorrow. Kayla pressed her eyes shut to avoid the tears from falling.Walking into the kitchen, she stopped in the doorway, watching Anthony imbibe a bottle of chilled lemonade. He smiled at her as soon he took notice of her presence, then he was approaching. Now a hairbreadth apart from her, his hands abruptly went down and grabbed her thighs as he lifted her and wrapped her legs around him, taking her to the counter. She took the chance and snaked her hands around him as their mouths collided as they explored each other's mouth.Many were the people who knew about her
“Tavia! Anyah!” Irene's scream stole Kayla's attention. “My girls.” Irene sprang up from the ground in panic, shivering and panting. “My babies.”They pushed and shoved their way through the stampede, and ran about with their eyes searching around for the kids as they screamed the names of the kids. Irene burst into tears when she called the babysitter's phone and couldn't reach her. She screamed her daughters’ names, wailing, running here and there, tugging at her hair. She was devastated, frustrated, afraid, and pained. Kayla was troubled, but never as Irene. All Kayla could do was look around for the kids.Gunshots erupted a few feet before them. The people running towards them were on the ground in the next seconds, their blood sputtering on Kayla and Irene's faces. Kayla and Irene came to a terrified halt the second the people dropped and a V Empire warrior came standing before them. The terror growing in Kayla began brimming over until she was stepping back. She stopped when the
Kayla sat up in the bed and drew herself backwards, leaning her back and head to the headboard. She exhaled, rubbing her forehead with her fingers. This headache again? It wasn't only the intense headache this time, she felt dizzy and unwell. Her eyes when she opened them felt sore and heavy like she dipped them into the water for too long. She rubbed her eyes gently.She combed her eyes through the room. The last thing she remembered was being at the mall with Anthony, contemplating whether to buy chocolates. How did she get to the bedroom? The sunlight permeating the windows and lighting the bedroom was a reminder that it was a new day. Her hand went to her stomach as she rubbed it. Pangs of emotions whelmed her, bringing tears to her eyes. She closed her eyes, trying to hold the tears back. Today, her baby would leave her.The door opened. Anthony stepped in with a tray containing her breakfast, a cup of tea, and painkillers. Seeing she was awake, he smiled. Last night was messy fo
