Johnny Cade Novels & Stories

When we got there, Cade was in bed, propped up by two white pillows. His leg was in a soft brace, but he looked smug as hell. Yvaine sat beside him with a peeled orange in her lap. "I've been breakable since birth," Cade announced. "Tripped over a crack in the sidewalk when I was four, snapped my arm clean through. This one's just a small fracture. Doctor said it'll heal in three weeks." He grinned. "Some psychic told my mum I'd never make it to twenty. I'm twenty-one now and still kicking. Guess these little disasters scare the bad luck away."

I thought we were done with the "show." "Evelyn Vance is not just a CEO," Cade said, his eyes locking onto mine. "She is a partner. She is the strongest woman I have ever met. And I want the world to know exactly where she stands." He turned back to the crowd. He didn't look at me anymore. He looked at the cameras, at the elite of the city, and at the world watching the live stream on their phones. "Evelyn Vance is my future fiancée," Cade declared.

Cade giggled hard, his giggles filling the entire car space as alpha Lloyd pulled out into the lonely streets. " Daddy and Veronica sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G" he sang, giggling harder. I felt my face grow very dark as I looked down. I was right. He had seen something. " It's not what you think cade. Daddy and your nanny were just..." He was beginning to say but cade stopped him. " It's fine daddy if you want to make her my new mummy. I like her a lot too" he said. I could see the grip of alpha Lloyd tighten on the car steering wheel and I almost sighed.

Johnny announced, walking into the living room. “Thanks for sharing that,” Grandpa said. Johnny snapped his right finger in the air. “How could I forget? Ada and her folks just drove into the compound.” Grandpa exhaled abruptly, shaking his head at Johnny. “And for some reason, you thought it was smart to tell us about your business in the toilet first.”

I knew it was serious, and I tried to leave right away, but Cade started beating Dad. I’ve never seen Cade be violent towards anyone he cares about or really be violent in general. Cade always prided himself on being a goody two shoes. He’s never killed anyone, and while he is powerful, he’s never been skilled with combat. His combat skills are very basic, and no one ever trusted him in the field by himself. On the other hand, Rupert is very good with his combat and is skilled.

“You think I don’t know a thing about you? I know you’re absolutely unapologetic, you take what you want and make no excuses for it, just like me. You’re obsessed with perfection in your professional life and in bed. You want your name in the headlines, well I’m a quarterback so I know all about wanting the glory. I was born to fight with you, born to love you Cadence Mattison because we are the same creature. I want you to be honest and proud of me, brag about me in every single way, even if you’re gossiping to your girlfriend how I hit that sweet spot inside you so perfectly. And I fucking will. But I want you to be you, first and foremost, that’s what gets me off. The saucy as fuck spitfi

"But you are exclusive with Jaden? She's cute." I swallow the urge to can him. "I'm busy." He laughs. "Which isn't an answer." He jumps in front of me, blocking the SUV. "Tell me, Cade. Are you interested? Because if you aren't, I might be." I press my lips together. Johnny doesn't hang around Adam, but I wouldn't put it past him to tell him if he sees him. "I'm not with her; now get out of my face." I shove him out of the way, and listen for him to follow, but he doesn't.

“You won’t hurt me or you will lose your daughter and my son. Be a good girl Sadie and just come with me?” “Them? Who the fuck is them?” I snapped. Oh my god, is there more out there like Sadie? Does my father have these people? What in the actual fuck was going on? My head started to spin. All of a sudden was pinned against the wall. Sadie turned and looked at me. Then this young girl came walking into the room and went to stand next to my father. Her eyes never leaving mine. “I’d like for you to meet cadence. Cadence is like you Sadie. Only I think she is stronger than you. Say hello, Cadence.”
