All Chapters of Elding: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Things didn’t really simmer down a lot. You could cut the tension in that house with a knife and I felt a bit uncomfortable. I realized soon enough what Malachi meant by Kiran going off the rails. His emotions were everywhere and he didn’t hide them from me, even though I was a stranger, he didn’t treat me like one.Dinner at the Sinclair house was a quiet affair. Jace had gone out before dinner and Kai had stayed with the baby after making two phone calls as he stood on the patio and just stared off into the distance. Adara hadn’t said a word to Kiran after their outburst and he had blatantly refused when I suggested that I go to a bed and breakfast. It hadn’t been my intention to create discord between them and I could feel the animosity coming from Adara.“Your wife’s very upset, I should rather leave,” I said to Kiran.“She’s always upset about something I’ve done or that I’m going to do,” he said and smiled at me. “She’ll be fine in the morning.” My phone rang and it was Jo on v

We landed in Switzerland at 7 PM and Kiran rented a car. We drove to the hotel in silence and I smiled as we stood at the reception desk and he gave the clerk his passport and confirmed the two-bedroom suite he’d booked.“Black and White,” Kiran said and I smiled at him as I handed my passport to the clerk.“Of course, Mr. Black, please fill in these forms and I’ll get your room keys,” the clerk said. We filled in the forms and Kiran nudged me as I almost wrote Jennings.“Thank you,” Kiran said as he took the room keys and we went upstairs with our overnight bags.“That comes in handy,” I said to him as he smiled at me.“Yeah, being half witch has its moments,” he said to me. “I’m not taking the chance that they have contacts and that they’ll be notified if a Sinclair arrives.”“True, no point in dying before we even get in there,” I said to him and he laughed.“We’re not dying, Alex,” he said to me.“What are you planning?” I asked him.“Nothing specific, mostly it comes to me as I g

We waited for two hours as Nino Suter welcomed all the head Alphas to his meeting room. He didn’t glance in our direction once and he was playing his role excellently. The Swiss Council members had waited outside and wanted to know what the meeting was about and true to his word Nino had told them nothing.“Give him time to at least welcome them,” I said to Kiran as the front door closed. Two Zetas remained standing outside and Levi had specifically requested for them to be there. We waited another twenty minutes and then made our way over to the meeting room. The mark on my arm was already black and electricity sparked in my fingertips.“Collins, Watson,” Levi said as we reached the building and he took two guns from the small of his back and handed each a gun.“Levi.” They greeted him and checked their weapons.“The rest of the weapons are still taped beneath the tables, our men will have easy access once we breach,” Watson said. “We don’t have the code to the door but you said tha

“Kifo,” she said to me and I turned around.“Hel,” I said her name and suddenly she was right in front of me. I saw the dead men all around me, sixty-four of them and they made a circle around us.“You have exceeded even my expectations,” she said as the dead men looked at me.“Why am I back here?” I asked her.“Oh, Alex, don’t sound so irritated, what I make I can break,” she said to me.“What do you want?” I asked her.“I just wanted to congratulate you on a job well done,” she said and smiled at me.“This is a trick,” I said to her and she laughed.“What do you want, Alex?” she asked me.“Peace,” I said to her.“There will always be some war to fight, be realistic, Alex.”“And I will always be your soldier, right?” I asked her.“Accept it, you’re so good at what you do,” she said to me.“I have everything I want,” I said to her.“Are you sure about that?” she asked me.“Yes,” I said and she laughed again.“Be careful, Alex, the next battle will come sooner than you think,” she said

Thalia came over to check on Jo and Levi took me to the police station to get my bike. Charles had taken my helmet and it stood on the table where he sat filling in paperwork. He stood up as I walked inside and handed the helmet to me.“How’s Jo?” he asked me.“Back at home and fine for now, she was put on bed rest,” I said to him.“The Chief told Walker you’re going to sue the department,” Charles said to me.“I’m here officially to lay a complaint against him for use of excessive force, endangering the life of my unborn child and unlawful arrest,” I said to Charles and he looked at me.“I’ll get you the paperwork,” he said to me. “Do you have the…” I handed him the medical report that Martin Whittier had sent to me the day before.“The description of the shoplifter then went out over the radio, pregnant woman, brown hair, brown eyes and around five foot two inches, right?” I asked Charles and he looked at me. I had already listened to it but I really wanted him to confirm it as well
