Cinder And Kai Novels & Stories

I exhaled the breath I held in in relief and turned to Kai who I then high-fived as we walked to our new designated seats. "Aren't I just super lucky?" Kai teased as he sat down after me. I smiled, "Gosh, I am too. I don't know what I'd if I ended up with-" "mister Javier Rosario and miss Cece Consuelo." I turned to my dark haired friend in sympathy as she pouted, shrugged and sat down along with Javier. Kai snickered at the sight of them, "You can bet they'll be pulling each other's eyes out and end up blind at the end of the year." he mumbled under breath.

My face burned that he easily read my thought. “I’ve seen more attractive than him.” I narrowed my eyes. “Really, like Who? We’ve never been outside this town for two years other than going to appointments. Have you forgotten about that?” “I guess, he’s okay.” I looked away, hoping he would drop the subject. Except, I knew Keene would not stop until I admitted that Clyve was well was hot. “And he called you Cindy.” His words made my heartbeat race. Before I could reply, Clyve appeared.

I mumbled gently, trying not to stutter. He smiled, making his face look so edible. “Well, I'm sorry if I disrupted your alone session. I actually needed to escape home.” I nodded in understanding, dropping my bag. “I guess I know how that feels. I am Kira.” “I am Carl.” He said with an outstretched arm. “Nice to meet you.” “Nice to meet you, too.” I responded, taking his hand. I almost moaned, there were the softest palms I have ever touched. Furthermore, I couldn't help but comment on it, “how come you have such soft palms for a man?”

I said, shocked at his audacity as he tilted his head checking me out shamelessly. “Well you wanted to pay me back, didn't you?” he smirks, amused by the look on my face as he acknowledged that he liked what he saw. “I don't think you'd be able to keep up with me.” I replied openly challenging him. Having learnt and practised quick steps, jive, waltz and cha-cha since I was 19, there was a time when I just wanted to be the famous popstar Ciara Cyrus; I could kill to even be a fly on her wall.

The whole time, I can hardly breathe. As soon as he secures the bandage around my arm, the door creaks open. “Kai, baby!” He drops my hand like it burns. I stiffen. My chest cracks open. Vanessa Miller. Kai's late best friend's younger sister and the woman Kai's obsessed with. I turn, against my better judgment as the omega struts across the room like she owns the damn place. I don't know why Kai loves her so much, she's betrayed him over and over.

said, “my legs forgot how.” Honesty, raw as winter bone. It hurt to hold. I exhaled shakily. “So we’re shackled.” “For now.” A howl drifted from the distant trees, different pitch from the wind roughened, deliberate. Then another answered, higher, eager. Kael’s head lifted, nostrils flaring. The color that had returned to his cheeks drained again. “They’re testing the perimeter,” he murmured. “Closer than yesterday.” I felt the sound crawl under my skin, a warning vibration. My power stirred, restless. “You have sentries?” “Not enough.” He turned to me fully, decision hardening his features. “I need every blade. That includes the one the moon tethered to my ribs.” I flinched at the image. “

The three brothers got off their horses and I watched in horror as master Kieran matched to Lucy, who stood defiantly. Just when he was about to reach her, his eyes met mine and I froze. His cold eyes ran over me, before settling on Matt, who was still standing very close to me. Matt stepped away from me immediately, noticing master Kieran’s stare. He obviously recognized me. As if nothing had happened, he continued his walk towards Lucy. “Damn you all, I am not scared of you!” She yelled again, pointing a finger at Kieran. “Do you have a death wish?” Master Kieran asked casually, like he was asking about her favourite food.

My shoulders sag in disappointment. Reaching out, she rests a hand on my arm. "Hey. We'll figure it out," she tells me. "Yeah I know, it's not over, I'll find another way," I reply. "That's my girl." "By the way, the man you just kissed—people found him online! He is Aiden Kincaid! Billionaire! Quarterback! Every sport lover girl's wet dream!" Kiera thrusts her phone toward me. The screen shows a grainy replay of the kiss cam. My back is front and center, hair spilling down my jacket, while Aiden shows his jawline only.

"Answer the question, Kaia." "I was on a date. With Lewis." The silence that follows is deafening. Vincent goes completely still, but I see the muscle jump in his jaw. See his hands curl into fists on his knees. "Lewis," he repeats finally, and the name sounds like poison on his tongue. "Yes. Lewis Thornfield." I don't know why I'm pushing, but something in me wants to see his reaction. Wants to make him hurt the way he hurt me. "We had dinner. It was nice."

His words were almost a growl and I knew that he was still upset by the insult they had dealt us. Kaji normally wasn’t very talkative and for him, he was being downright chatty. There was a certain bounce in his step that I couldn’t quite place, despite his anger. “What is she like?” He looked over at me from the corner of his eye. His lips twitched as if he were trying to fight down a smile. “I thought you didn’t want a mate.” “I don’t.” “She and her sister are pretty. Cassandra is very protective of her sister. Kaida respects that, so she respects her. Kaida likes Cora.”
