Semua Bab Chained By Fate: Bab 61 - Bab 70

FAITHMy leg bounced as I sat in the library with Nova. She had claimed she wanted to have a day of relaxation to make up for all the chaos lately, but not only had she been staring outside through the window the entire time, but the book in her hands was upside down. She was babysitting me… again. Her attempts at distracting me were failing, and I was becoming increasingly more frustrated. It was only a matter of time before Kaiden summoned me to the dungeon to handle the prisoner, but I didn’t see why we couldn’t just go now and get it over with.He said last night that 'we' had to take care of it, so why did he leave without me?“I loved that book, the one you're reading." I sighed, and Nova hummed in response but didn’t look at me. “Have you gotten to the part where he is ordered to have her hanged? Oh! It’s so gripping! I was on the edge of my seat. He pulls the lever. She falls with the noose around her neck, but as soon as she drops, he changes his mind, grabs her body, and r

FAITH“I’m so excited. Touch me. Feel me.” The demon purred, and I hesitated before grabbing both sides of his head. I had never had one react in this manner before. It was unsettling and quite possibly their reason for acting that way. “You’re excited, too. You claim to hate this, but fuck do you feel powerful doing this! You love making people suffer, don’t you? You’re just like me. You can feel me right now, but I can feel you, too."“You are not people.” I corrected. “And I am nothing like you.”My amulet burned against my breastbone, signaling Kaiden was controlling my magic, allowing me to use it, and I tensed as I felt the magic travel down my arms and to my fingertips. The soul inside the body was alone, thrumming with magic and darkness, and I took a second to grieve the innocent soul that had just been lost. “Pain,” I whispered, and the demon convulsed against the chair before his eyes opened and the green orbs changed. Even the whites of the eyes were black now, and I pus

FAITH “I’m sure you have better things to do than to baby me,” I said, and Kaiden’s chest shook as he laughed. His arms tightened around me, and I pressed my body further against his muscular one. “I’m sure I don’t.” He argued, and I lifted my head to look at him. “I really needed a shower anyway, and I can’t think of anything better than to spend it like this, in here with you in my arms.” “Yeah, you did. Things got a little messy, didn’t they?” I agreed as I remembered seeing him covered in the demon’s blood after having killed the presumably innocent man he had possessed. The more I thought about it, the less what he had done got to me, but I wasn’t sure how he would feel about what I had done. “Did it bother you?” He asked, and I could hear a hesitation in his voice that I hadn’t even heard from him before. It amazed me that he genuinely seemed to care about what I thought. I hadn’t expected that from anyone, let alone someone as strong and powerful as him. “No,” I said

KAIDENFaith was curled against my chest, sleeping soundly as I traced my fingers up and down her spine. I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing with her, and I was positive that she was just as confused. The push and pull between us was a fucking joke, but as frustrated as I was, I was also enjoying going with the flow for now. We were falling into a rhythm, and even if we couldn’t continue it long-term, it was working for us at the moment. Of course, I knew that was bound to change soon.‘Alpha,’ Jackson said hesitantly through the pack link, and I closed my eyes, knowing it was time to get back to work. ‘Yes?’ I asked, gently rolling Faith away from me so I could free my arm from beneath her and get out of bed. ‘I’ve received the responses. They will be arriving at the meeting point tonight.’ Jackson said, and I sighed. Whenever other Alphas called a meeting, no one had ever responded so quickly. Usually, it would take at least a week to get everyone to agree on a rendezvous

KAIDENThe eerie shadows of the trees and the abandoned structure ahead made me slow. I was on high alert but was relieved that I couldn’t smell any of the other Alpha’s. The crumbling brick building had once been a castle held by the High King, the Alpha among Alphas. After the great war, it had been destroyed. They had torn it down until it was no longer habitable, and the surrounding town had been burnt to the ground. We passed the occasional stone wall that had withstood the test of time, but even those would fall eventually. “Where are we?” Faith whispered to herself in wonder, the awe thick in her voice as she sat up to enjoy my slowed pace. Her grip loosened, and had I not been panting, I could have sighed from the feeling of her fingers running through my fur. We stopped several yards away, and I lowered myself to the ground. Faith stiffly slid off, stumbling back and almost landing on her butt before catching herself.She looked around quickly as if to make sure no one h
