Semua Bab Mist: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Kiran burned brighter and it almost seemed like his eyes were ablaze with the blue fire. I focused my gaze on Raven, and I drew more magic from the earth. I concentrated on flooding her mind with images of her own death as I imagined it. It was just a diversion tactic to give Kiran the edge over her because she was strong, the strongest witch I’d ever encountered. I didn’t know if Kiran had restored his own energies after purifying me.I felt her give a little, as she tried to block me out, and I saw her in her own mind, screaming, as she went down to her knees holding her head. I saw Kiran’s feet leave the ground, he lifted himself with his own fire, and he burned impossibly bright. He raised both his hands, and I looked at him in horror.“Dad, no! Don’t do it!” I yelled at him, and ran toward him as the fire exploded out of his body and the ground beneath us shuddered and he landed in a hole as the magic swept the plants from the forest floor.Dezrael had countered him with her own

Paul put his one arm around my shoulder and led me to the door of the bar. We stepped outside and I took big gulps of the fresh air to try and sober up. We walked around the corner into the dark parking lot behind the bar where his car was parked. I saw it standing right at the back and I stuck my hands in my pockets.Paul walked ahead to his car and I turned at the noise of footsteps behind me. I saw the group of men too late, and the baseball bat connected with my back. There were five of them, and I went down as I stumbled, and they kept hitting me.I was way too drunk to do anything, as the blows rained down on me. I kept my arms over my head and face as they started kicking me. “Asshole! You think you can assault my brother and get away with it!” I didn’t recognize the voice but I knew exactly what this was. Payback.“Come on, let’s get out of here,” Paul said to the group of men, and I heard their footsteps fading away from me.I rolled onto my back, and lay on the ground of the

We walked out of the doctor’s office, and I opened the Jeep’s door for her. I would worry about getting her car later. I helped her inside and she rested her head against the window. She looked shocked, but she also looked guilty. Was I imagining that?I climbed into the driver’s seat and turned to look at her. “I’ll call Adara to tell her you’re not coming back to work today.” Kari didn’t answer me, and she barely nodded her head.“I want to go home,” she whispered.“Okay.”I drove away from the doctor’s office and headed to our house. The house was quiet, and I helped her upstairs. She sat down on the bed, and I took her shoes off. She turned away from me and climbed under the covers, still fully clothed.She started to cry, and I laid down next to her. I moved up against her and put my hand across her stomach. I held her until she stopped crying and I had no idea how to process the news we’d received.“Kari, when he asked you if you tried to abort this pregnancy in the beginning …

Falcon sat back down at the kitchen table, and I could feel the empathy rolling off him. I hated the pity, but strangely enough, coming from him, I appreciated it. He was one of the few people who knew exactly what was going on in my house. I knew Levi knew as well, but he’d never talk to Kiran about it. He wouldn’t interfere unless I asked for his help.“I don’t know what to tell you, man, but I think this is much more than just depression,” Falcon said.“I tend to agree with you. I don’t know if this is pent up rage from Gunnar and James’ deaths, but some days, I can almost taste the hate she has for me. I feel unwelcome in our house, in her life, in her space, and honestly, Falcon, I dread coming home at night,” I said, honestly.“I get that,” he said. “I’m actually kind of surprised she hasn’t tried to kill you in your sleep.”“Shit, don’t even joke about that,” I said. Somehow, it wouldn’t even surprise me if she did try. I didn’t know where her hate was coming from. I did everyt

“Jace,” I said, as he looked at me and ran to the kitchen sink. It was the first time I wasn’t bothered by someone else’s vomit as I held Kari in my arms.His retching quieted down, and my bloody fingers trailed down Kari’s face. “Call Adara!”“Your dad,” Jace said, and I looked back at Kiran.I let go of Kari and I went back to him and touched his face, smearing more blood over him as I listened to his chest and to his heart, but there was nothing there. I was sitting on the floor, crying, and holding Kiran’s head on my lap when Adara ran into the house.“Kai!” she yelled out to me.“Mom,” I said softly. “Heal her.” I sobbed as Adara knelt next to Kiran, and she looked at me as she cried.“Kiran,” she cried, and lay down half on top of him.“Heal her!” I yelled at Adara.“You can’t heal death, Kai. She’s dead,” Adara said softly, as Jace put his arms around her shoulders.“I’m so sorry,” Jace said, and she turned toward him, and they held each other.“He’s not dead!” I yelled at them
