Kai Winters Mechat Novels & Stories

Christian said, his heavy breaths coming out of his mouth as frosty puffs. “Two minutes until the storm hits,” I said. The two of them looked at me and then at the sky. “Can agree with that girl on one thing — Kian has some A.I. circuit installed in his head. How are you even making these calculations, dude?” Christian said, putting on his helmet and so did Levi. “These are approximations, Christian. Kian has literally spent two decades of his life in these mountains. It comes with keen observation and experience, not your senseless yammering all the time,” Levi said.

Whatever happened last night must have meant nothing. Kai had been playing around, joking. Jessica’s wolf curled around herself. “Did you come here yesterday?”. Kai’s eyes fluttered open and he raised his upper body slightly, propping up into his elbow. His stare was smouldering and yet so vacant. So hollow. “I passed through. After I swam.” “You do realise it’s almost winter,” Jessica muttered under her breath. “Yes, I do realise,” Kai retorted, slightly defensive, but then his voice returned to its usual indifference. “I felt like it.”

Anya’s POV The heater in the van had given up hours ago. What little warmth it managed to cough out now was pathetic—nothing more than a faint, lukewarm sigh that barely stirred the air before surrendering to the high-altitude cold seeping through every crack and seam. Outside, the wind carried the sharp bite of pine resin and distant snow, pressing against the metal walls like an unwelcome guest who refused to leave. I had cocooned Kai in three layers of the heaviest sound blankets we could find in the back—those thick, quilted slabs normally used to swallow the brutal vibration of bass drums and crashing cymbals on stage. The fabric was stiff with age and use, smelling faintly of old sweat

When one of them went over to my side of the car, I rolled my window down, I couldn’t help but notice the large gun at his back. Fuck. If a guy needed this much security…he had to be knee deep in some high profile shit. “State your name and the purpose of your visit,” he told me in a bored tone. “I need to see Jonathan Winters,” I said insistently. “Have you had any prior visits?” he asked as if he had relayed this to a thousand people already. “Appointments?” “I don’t need one.” I said, sounding more confident than I felt. “I am Kai Hunter. Night Winters’ boyfriend. And I need to see Jonathan Winters right now.”

The moment they landed, she abandoned them. "Go by yourselves. I need to find Nora first." Ignoring their calls behind her, she rushed straight to the gates of Northbridge University. She waited there for an entire day, but she never saw her husband or daughter. "Nora Duncan? There isn't anyone by that name in this year's medical school cohort." The student volunteer welcoming freshmen looked at her strangely. "Ma'am, did you remember wrong?" Marissa's mind went completely blank. How could that be? Nora Duncan had clearly been admitted to the clinical medicine program!

The girl who had smiled for the society photographers in this room no longer existed; she had been systematically dismantled and rebuilt in the dark rooms of Oakhaven and the clinical laboratories of Galenne. "You're tracking the exits," Kai murmured beside her. His voice was low, pitched beneath the hum of the gathering crowd. He was here in an official capacity today, registered under the Vance medical fund as her senior research assistant. The title gave him a legitimate reason to be within twenty feet of her at all times, his broad-shadowed presence serving as an invisible shield against the room. "Your shoulders are locked, Ev. You good?"

Kai took the seat next to me. “Hey are you ok? You look like you have been crying.” Kai’s voice was soft and his eyes were filled with concern. He reached out and wrapped his hand around my wrist gently. I winced from the pain. His eyes travelled to my wrist, noticing how red it was. His eyes flashed with anger. “Kass did this, didn’t he?”

I have a feeling that this year is going to be an even wilder winter. *The End*

​Later that night. ​The villa was in "Ghost Mode," the lights dimmed to a dull crimson. Kai was stabilized, tucked into the specialized medical bunk in the sub-level, his vitals monitored by a silent AI. He was still out, but the silver had faded from his eyes, replaced by a deep, restful brown. ​I stood in the kitchen, the massive Portuguese oven standing open. I wasn't kneading dough. I was cleaning the bolt-action of the long-range rifle, the rhythmic snick-slide of the metal the only sound in the room.

K•E•L•S•I:::: I used all my will power to focus my attention on the teacher as i overheard soft mumurs from every corner. "Ah! There you are, can you please tell me and the class your name? He encouraged. "My name is Kelsi Itohan" I tried to be audible as I could. "I'm a new student here" my voice slightly shaking. He nodded "Welcome, Kelsi the teacher replied with a smile that soothe my feeling.
