Lahat ng Kabanata ng Hellbound: The Last Tribute: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

~Rory~The werewolves and witches led by Maestro aim to finish the ritual and gain what they lost. And then there are the royal vampires led by their king Greco who would do everything to prevent the prophecy from taking place.It was like a game of push and pull, a miss or hit. These supernatural races are determined to see me die and use me for their own benefits.‘I’m going to die either way,’ I said to Elijah. ‘I better live my life the way I wanted to.’It was more complicated than it looks, though. Elijah told me I have to act normal, count my movements and be careful in showcasing my abilities.Apparently, apart from my hair - which Nolani helped me dye back to its original color - my spee

~Elijah~It had been an hour since the bathroom incident at her place; still, Rory’s body continued to shiver. We spent the drive up to my place in utter silence. After what happened tonight, I have to ask her to move in with me. Her growing power is proving to be much more unpredictable than what we anticipated. Her request to live her life the way she wanted to needs to be set aside. Someone must watch over her twenty-four seven. Apart from the threat to her safety, she is also in danger of getting lost in her own mind.It took me a fucking lot to get through her mind. I’m afraid it will only worsen until she finishes shifting.I reached for her hand. She threw me a grateful smile and turned to resume gazing at the window.If not for our stronger bond, I wo

~Rory~After Tala’s revelation, I found myself right across from Hickman’s home.Elijah warned me about the danger of wandering off, especially when my emotions are all over the place.I closed my eyes, concentrating, hoping that I’d be in Elijah’s room again when I opened them.The icy caress of the midnight air on my skin told me this wasn’t a vision. I’m here physically, uncertain of why or what to do.I tried again, channeling all my energy into picturing Elijah’s room, his home, his arms, and the warmth his body provided before I fell asleep. It didn’t work.I glanced around, inspecting my surroundings. Empty streets on both sid

~Rory~A day working with the feds was exhausting physically and mentally; imagine an entire workweek with them swarming the station, questioning the investigation we did over the past five weeks, and impugning our faculty to do our jobs. Even Mayers look maddened in sharing the progress he had with them. I can sympathize with him. No matter how appalled I was at his treatment of me, there’s no questioning his dedication to these cases. He gave this case his one hundred and more attention, and now the feds had taken that chance away from him.A week has gone by since Zwick and Hickman’s death. A week of being a double agent for my daytime job and the nighttime task of helping the team locate Tauri. Even with the additional strong point brought by my shift as Lycan, my energy level was at rock bottom.Eli

~Rory~A hate-filled relationship grew between darkness and me since the beginning of this year. This is probably the only time darkness will redeem itself in my good graces.In the dugout, Elijah removed my skates and left my feet bare as he secured a black scarf around my eyes.“Are you nervous?” He needed confirmation even if he could hear my heart pounding on my ribcage walls.“A bit.”“And the rest?” he chuckled, leaving my side. Sounds of things tossed inside the duffle bag filled my ears.“Excited…” I bit my lip. “Aroused, and I’m wet.”He groaned. Two can
