Semua Bab Kiss Me Before The Sky Falls: Bab 151 - Bab 160

Caden's POV "Calm down," I said, patting her shoulder. "How can I be calm? My body is on fire." "Do you need some air?" I grabbed my shirt, ready to fan her. "No, get me water. I'm burning!" I bolted off the couch and ran around the room for a moment, disoriented by Mira's screams. I remembered there was a tap outside. I kicked on my pants and ran to the faucet. In a blink, I filled the small green bucket I found next to the tap and ran back to Mira. My hands shook as I poured the water on her body. She gasped, her whole body arching. It looked like I'd made it worse. "Did that help?" I asked, clutching the handle of the bucket. "A little," she said. "It's cooling the outside. But inside, it's still there." "What does it feel like?" "Like fire is moving under my skin. In my veins." ~She's been struggling with this problem of fire before. I think having sex triggered this. Maybe we shouldn't have done it yet.~ "More please," she pointed to the bucket. I got more water and

Vessa's POV I found Kayla bawling when I got to the hostel. She was on her bed, face buried in her hand. Her shoulders shook as she cried. “Kayla.” She didn’t lift her head. I crossed the room and sat on the edge of her mattress. For a moment I just watched her cry. Part of me felt a decent dose of sympathy. Another part was already calculating how this loss could be useful. She wouldn't be distracted by Bastian anymore. She would focus on whatever task I assign. . . “Hey,” I said, resting a hand on her back. “It’s going to be okay.” She sniffed hard and finally looked up. Her eyes were red and swollen. “He’s out. Just like that." “It's sad," I said softly. "But be strong." “He worked so hard for this. He was always training." I pat her back. "It's okay." "He has to leave immediately." "Well, the competition will soon end and you guys will be together again." Kayla wiped at her face with the back of her hand. “You don’t understand. Being here… getting into the Sentinels A

Veron's POVI poured myself a drink right after Grimshaw stepped out of my office. The whisky tasted flat in my mouth. I was disappointed with Grimshaw's performance. His failure totally messed with my taste buds. He used to be reliable. I could send him after anyone and trust he'd deliver. He wasn't that guy anymore. Seven days went by, and he delivered nothing. Not even a direction to search in."Useless," I muttered. I didn't expect him to pull a miracle and find the Last Guardian now. I had to explore other ideas on how to find the person. And Grimshaw would pay so dearly for wasting my time. I looked down at his severed finger on the table and chuckled. Things would get so much worse for him if he continued to underperform.A knock sounded on the door. "I hope you're not coming back to beg me," I growled. "Dad, it's me."Oh, it wasn't Grimshaw. "Come in."Vessa stepped in, dressed in her combat outfit. She sat opposite me and leaned forward. Her tense posture told me somet

Mira's POVI walked back to my hostel with Caden’s scent still clinging to my skin. As I headed back, I kept thinking of what we'd just done. The way he held me. The way he filled me with his cock.I loved every second of it. It was only my second time having sex, but I enjoyed doing it with Caden. The only problem was the burning sensation that came afterwards. Even now, I could feel the faint vibration under my ribs. Something strange was happening inside me. And it always got worse after making love with Caden. ~Caden is right. I can’t keep ignoring this.~I got to my room and pulled off my training outfit. I reached for a simple dress instead. There was no point waiting any longer. I had to go see Alina. Right after putting on the dress, Serena came in. Her eyes were red-rimmed. Her jaw and her fists were clenched.“Are you okay?" I asked. She stepped closer. “How could you?” "How could I do what?"“Don’t play stupid. You seduced him. You let him say those things to you whil

Mira's POV I took the bus instead of a taxi. I needed the extra time to think, to collect my thoughts before approaching Aunt Michelle. The ride back to the house was forty minutes. I sat by the window with my bag in my lap and watched the buildings flash by. The more I thought about Alina's revelation, the angrier I became. Why was Aunt Michelle keeping secrets from me? What the hell was she hiding? I got off the bus and headed to the doorstep. The light in the living room reflected through the window. I knocked and waited for Aunt Michelle to open. She had a baseball bat in her hand when she opened the door. She relaxed when she saw me, letting go of the wooden weapon. "You thought someone was coming to attack you?" "Have you not been following the news? Bad things are happening in town." I didn't have much time to follow the news. The demands on the campus was too crazy for that. We walked deeper into the living room together. Aunt Michelle picked up a spoon from t
