Semua Bab Mist: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Falcon took a deep breath and drove his truck into town. He’d never been in love before, so the things he was feeling for Tala Sinclair drove him out of his comfort zone. He didn’t know her at all, but he knew he wanted to.They’d barely introduced themselves before they were kissing and touching each other. She was the most beautiful person he’d ever seen, even the coldness radiating from her didn’t put him off. He liked that she wasn’t this bubbly, preppy, highschool girl. Falcon was mature for his age, he had to be. He’d been mature from the age of 12, and he’d always had to fight to survive. He sensed that Tala was strong emotionally, and he liked that. Falcon didn’t want a weak woman at his side, didn’t want a woman he could dominate, he wanted an equal.He had immense respect for her father, Levi, but he also dreaded the moment he confessed his feelings. He’d been a rogue for half of his life, and now he was a Beta. Levi was a Council Zeta with Alpha blood. He killed rogues alm

My life was in limbo, and I was just floating along. I rarely spent the night at home, but nobody questioned me because everyone was busy with the wedding. I switched the water in the shower off and wrapped a towel around my waist.“Shit, I’m late,” I said, as I walked into her bedroom.“I can’t believe you’re getting married today,” she said, and sat upright in the bed and watched me getting dressed.Kari, Adara, and Saga had planned everything in just three weeks, and today, we would get married. It was hard to explain, when I was with Kari she was distant and moody and I just agreed with whatever she wanted and put it down to hormones.When I wasn’t with her though, I didn’t feel that pull, and when Raven showed up in Seward, it was exciting, and exhilarating. Every time I saw her, I said it would be the last time, but somehow it never was and here I was, putting my suit on to go marry someone else.“This situation is so messed up,” I said, and she smiled at me."I know."“We can’t

I sat on Levi’s porch steps and waited. I had no idea where he’d gone after the wedding, but I knew he wasn’t home. His truck lights nearly blinded me when he finally pulled into his driveway, and parked his truck in front of his garage.“Kai,” he said, looking at me worriedly. Great, he must have spoken to Kiran and heard about my little meltdown. “We have to talk,” I said, and he sat down next to me. I handed him the piece of paper that I’d been clutching in my hand for the last hour and he looked at it.“A license plate number?”“I need to know everything you can find out about who owns that car, where it’s been, and where it is now,” I said to him.“And then?” he asked me.“Then I’ll talk to Kiran,” I said.“Are you sure about this, Kai?” he asked me.“Yes. I can’t leave this. I know what I saw, and I know what’s going to happen to her. I can’t not do anything,” I said.Levi nodded his head. “Okay, kid. I’ll call Jennifer.”“Thank you, Levi. I know how it sounds but I need you to

I left the den alone with Falcon opting to go back with Levi to check weapons, and more likely to spend time with Tala. I didn’t mind, my emotions were a mess with the dream I’d had, and the realization that what I’d seen with the little girl was true.I took my phone out before starting the Jeep and dialed Kari’s number. “What?” The way she answered her phone had me clenching my jaw tightly.“Geez, why are you so moody?” I asked her.“Really? After what you said to me this morning? You’re wondering why I’m moody?” She said.“I’m sorry, but we should talk. Are you still at the hotel, or are you at home?” I asked her.“I’m still at the hotel, but I’ll ask my dad to come pick me up,” she said.“Why? You’re my responsibility, or did you think you were going back to your father’s house?” I asked her, already irritated by her.“I wasn’t really sure after this morning,” she said.“I’ll be there in five minutes,” I said, and she ended the call without saying goodbye. That just pissed me off

“I have to go,” I said to Raven four hours later as I got dressed again.“I know,” she said, and looked down.“I’ll see you soon,” I said, and kissed her goodbye.I headed out of the door and trudged through the trees back to my Jeep. There were ten missed calls from Kari when I checked my phone. I’d forgotten it in my car. I’d had every intention of just getting my amulet, and leaving again right away. I’d also been gone far longer than I had planned to be.I parked the Jeep in the garage and opened the side door. The house was quiet and dark as I went upstairs. Kari was lying on the bed, and I went into the bathroom to shower. When I exited she was sitting up on the bed, her arms crossed over her chest. She was beyond pissed.“Where were you?” she asked me.“I told you,” I said, and walked past her to the cupboard.“Don’t lie to me, Kai! Where were you, because you weren’t with your dad!”“Just out, okay,” I said, as I started getting dressed.“How long have you been seeing her?” sh
