“We are only taking life,” Kaif says to her, looking confused. Celeste shakes her head.
“He will kill her if she disobeys him, Kaif. He would do it out of spite,”
“What are you saying?” Kaif says, tilting his head.
“There are two daggers, one to kill a god, one to give life to one, balance,”
“But I only possess dark magic; I can’t use the light,” Kaif tells her.
“No, but I can. I am bestowing a gift on you. I am making you a god. Only a god or goddess can wield these daggers; only a god kill another god, are you understanding?” Kaif watches as she slices her wrists.
Holding them out wide while turning her face to the dark sky. She murmurs words in a foreign tongue, and storm clouds brewed violently. Kaif takes a step back from her as veins of darkness sliver across her milky skin, her eyes turning black as coal, and she cracks her neck. Her voice echoed the louder she chanted, her blood spilling onto the ground when a lightning bolt broke across the sky, hitting the ruins and before striking the next. I gasped, looking at the pattern above, as the lightning struck.
A pentagram of light and electricity hung overhead before I shrieked. Dominic grabs my arms, and I watch the lightning smash into Kaif’s chest. He screams as the lightning speared him to the ground, and he collapses.My heart pounded at what I just witnessed as he lay limp, his breathing stopped, and
Celeste looked toward the trees, darkness tainted her, and black veins streaked her skin, moving as she walked into the trees before coming back out.
Only when she did she didn’t come alone. No, she came with a girl; her hands and feet chained, a gag in her mouth. Celeste dragged her thrashing body toward the cauldron before bending her over it. My heart pounded in my chest as the young girl thrashed.
Celeste murmured a word, and I watched as the girl’s eyes flickered black. She was a Lycan. Celeste then plunged a knife into the artery in the girl’s neck, her blood spurted and poured out, and I felt sick.
She was only a teenage girl. She fell limply at Celeste’s feet, and Celeste turned, cutting the girl’s heart out. She stood above the cauldron and squeezed the heart in her hand. Murmuring some spell that made lightning hit the cauldron and smoke before she dropped the heart in.
She then dips a ladle in the cauldron before taking it to Kaif, she prys his lips open and pours it down his throat and leans down and kisses him. Kaif sucks in a breath and lurches upright, breathing heavily.
Shadows slivered across his skin, etched into it like tattoos, the same markings that shadowed Kyan’s arms and Dominic’s.
His eyes go to the girl, and his eyes open in horror. “What did you do?” he gasps.
“What I had to,” Celeste says, walking back to the cauldron. She motions Kaif to follow, and h e growls, moving the girl’s body away, before giving his hand to Celeste, she cut his palm. The flames flared higher as they chanted, and eventually, the smoke cleared. Celeste moved, dipping her hand in the cauldron. She hisses, pulling the stones out and dropping them in Kaif’s hand before pulling out the daggers.
“One to transfer life and power, one to trap and kill it,” Celeste murmurs. She cleans the daggers on her dress and cleans the stones, popping them into the hilt on each dagger.
“Why do you need one for life?” Kaif murmured.
“Because when you kill Hades, he will kill Luna, and when he does, I will trade my life for hers,” Celeste says.
“So the other dagger was not meant for Seline, but her daughter?” I ask Dominic. He nods.
“Yes, but the Luna was killed,” Dominic explained.
The memory moved once again to Kaif’s son killing Luna with the dagger instead of Hades, trapping her soul forever in the stone. Her rage that her son didn’t recognize her, didn’t know who she was was heartbreaking as she begged and pleaded with her son.
He looked confused and torn before Luna turned on Kaif, who begged her to stay before she tried to kill him, and in turn, her son chose his father and the man who raised him. Then I watched the curse
Hades bestowed on him. Before I watched Kaif kill each and everyone one of his mates. His curse turned him darker with each one, and for a while, he gave up. He killed the last three before me when they gave birth and didn’t even allow the mother to hold their children, just let them give birth before killing them.
I could understand why all his mates lost their minds. With this, I could only see him killing them, the monstrous side of him. The only difference was I knew the reason behind their deaths. Why he did it, he wouldn’t allow the woman he loved to kill the child he helped create.
The last one was brutal horrible to witness, and I clenched my eyes shut as Kaif quite literally ripped her apart. Her screams would forever haunt me; for years, I lived with their attempts to kill the children but never saw the outcome of whether or not they succeeded.
“It’s nearly over, Marabella, but you have marked Kaif now, when you wake, you will obtain their madness,”
“What?”
“You’re strong enough to endure it, you have before,”
I choked and sputtered, staring at the women’s dead body. I shake my head.
“You can endure it, you did for Rose, that hatred, that darkness you already contain it, but now it will be unleashed. Remember who you are, Marabella, remember what you are,” Dominic urged
“I am darkness; I can’t be more than that. What sort of monster would it make me,” I asked, petrified
“The sort that can kill a god, you are the moon goddesses daughter, you are the key to breaking this curse, you just have to remember what comes with darkness, is light,” Dominic says.
“I don’t understand, just tell me,” Why was everything in riddle. “I can’t; I would if I could. What. Comes.
With. Darkness. Is. Light. Think Marabella,” Dominic says. “Find the balance,”
“Eziah!” I gasp.
“For you are the Gemini twins,” Dominic says with a smile.
“Get the stones, break the curse, set me free, I will take care of the rest, I just need Celeste grimoires, get me the grimoires,” Dominic says.
“From where? How do I give them to you?” I ask him.
“Break the curse, set me free,” Dominic says, vanishing, and I gasp at the sensation that rushes through me. Like I was falling off a steep cliff, the air flowing so fast around I clutched air, and then my head as pain rattled through my skull. I screamed before slamming back into my body. My scream was deafening, and I lurched upright. Only to be met with the sounds of glass breaking and a dark room.
Glowing eyes peered back at me. The glowing eyes of my mates.
“You’re okay, Ella, you’re okay,” Kyan whispers, clutching my arms in his warm hands. I suck in a breath looking around the room, and Jonah gets off the bed when the lights start flickering.
“Generators kicked in,” Jonah murmurs, looking out the window. “But she knocked the power out to the entire city,” he says, and I gasp.
The lights flickered a few times before the generator kicked in, and they remained on.
Both Jonah’s and Kyan’s phones start ringing loudly.
Kyan snatches his phone off the bedside table and glances at it before chucking it to Jonah.
“Floor Manager,”
Kyan says as Jonah catches it before he picks up his own phone that was on charge.
“And I get security,”
