Kade From Down To Earth Novels & Stories

I said slowly. Kade leaned back again while staring at the ceiling for a brief moment like he was mentally dragging himself back into memories he hated. “I met Caden when I was barely twenty,” he began quietly, “back then he wasn’t as powerful as he is now but he was already dangerous because even before taking the palace he had this ability to make people trust him while destroying them at the same time.”

Sometimes, Chloe never noticed him at all despite having a sharp eyesight. "You mean, the earth... This earth? The world?" Kieran smiled. "Dyi. I am talking about you." Chloe pointed at herself but realized that he can't see her. "Me?" "Mn," he responded with a short nod. Heh? Chloe mused in her mind. "What about me? Am I the earth?" "We all are. We came from the dust and dust shall we return," Kieran pointed out. Chloe opened her mouth but there's no voice coming out from it. She was speechless. Kieran was somehow right. But why would he call the likes of them as "earth"?

Kade's pov I let out a soft breath as I stared at the garden right before my eyes. So many stories have been told about this garden. No one had ever gone through it and came out. But I am Alpha Kade Hart. I have escaped death more times than I can imagine and there is no way I was going to let myself die so easily. Not here. Not today. Not when Celine's life was still hanging in the balance and every second I wasted was a second she couldn't afford.

It was like he was standing in the corner of the room watching himself fall apart. “But... nothing is wrong with you, Mr. Kade,” I said. I sounded innocent, like a four year old child who knew nothing about the horrors of the world. I looked at his strong chest, his powerful arms, his perfect face. He looked like a god. How could he be dying? Kade smiled at me, but it wasn't a kind smile. It was full of grief. And then, the nightmare truly began.

He’d learned a little by my father –who I now knew wasn’t my father- and did a bit of exploring while waiting for me to recover and regenerate my health, but he was fairly limited with his information. He told me Kurr was one-hundred-fifty light years from earth. Its surface was similar to that of earth. In fact, it mirrored earth in many ways; which was why Aunt Jenny took such pains in teaching me as much as she could in the ways of survival. It was also why I didn’t realize I wasn’t on earth whenever I stepped outside the cave. The terrain looked familiar and the air was clean and crisp like what I was accustomed to in the wilds of Upstate New York. Although the plant life and terrai

Kade The rumors kept coming, more specific each time, the way rumors did once a thing became interesting enough for people to bother getting the details right. Nightshade had a name now, or near enough — an Alpha, young, who'd apparently come from nowhere five months back and rebuilt a dying pack from six starving survivors into something northern traders had started routing around out of simple caution. Female, according to two separate sources, which Kade noted and then spent an uncomfortable amount of time trying not to think about.

He stepped forward, and for the first time, I got a good look at him. His clothes were disheveled. Dirt clung to the hems of his pants, and his shoes were caked with mud and grass. He looked like someone who had just returned from a long trek through rough terrain. Through the hidden canyon, perhaps. Where he kept Sera imprisoned. Rage surged through me, hot and blinding. "Forgive my appearance," Kade said, noticing my scrutiny. "I prefer working outdoors. Keeps me connected to the land, to my roots." He smiled, that infuriating, smug smile. "I didn't expect visitors, or I would have cleaned up."

I kick his knees, making him buckle to the floor. “Problem.” I smile triumphantly, arms crossed. Kade just stares at me, then the floor, and back at me, still very much quiet. I can’t even tell what he is thinking; his face is blank and oh my goodness, this is driving me insane. Kade is driving me insane. “Why are you mad at me?” He shrugs on his knees. That’s his answer. A fucking shrug. If there’s one thing I’ve noticed about Kade, it’s that the man despises standing. Any opportunity to sit, lie down, crouch, or kneel, and he’ll take it without hesitation.

“Kade, if you don’t respond, I will come into this damn house. Your wishes be damned.” “I’m upstairs,” he croaks out. If the room hadn’t been completely silent, I wouldn’t have heard him. I take his words as an invitation and walk up the stairs. I follow the stairs up and walk down the hall until I see the only open door. I push it open the rest of the way and walk inside. My heart breaks as I take in the sight in front of me. Kade is sitting on the floor with a box open in front of him, pictures strewn across the floor, as well as little mementos. Kade looks up at me and for the first time since she died, I see the tears in his eyes. His eyes are red and puffy, his hair and beard are a mess

Kade kept his body between me and the worst of the falling debris, shielding me even as his own blood painted the floor. His voice was rough in my ear. “If we don’t make it out..” “Shut your mouth,” I cut him off fast, squeezing his hand tighter despite the pain. “You still owe me a real date, Kade Thorn. Normal food. No explosions. No monsters trying to kill us. You hear me?” He laughed, a painful one, but real. “Yeah, somewhere quiet. Just you and me.” 00:00:03 Three seconds. The ground shook as a massive explosion behind us threw us off our feet. Kade wrapped his arms around me as we flew through the air and hit the cold ground outside the facility hard. The night sky turned orange with f
