“Where’s Sybil and Kali? What did you do to them?”
she spoke hurriedly. “If you value your life, you would-“
Her words were cut short the instant I swerved around, and my eyes connected with those blue crystals of hers. There was something in them that made my heart ache.
It was like time paused along with her. I could see the shock imprinted on her face, as she was unable to force her eyes away from mine. A tear slipped down my eyes, knowing she still recognized my gaze.
Slowly, I reached for the cloth covering my face, pulling it down. Her lips parted, as she took a small step backward. Her round beautiful eyes held mine intensely.
“Naomi,”
I called breathlessly, taking a step forward, but she took another step back. “Naomi, it’s me,”
I sounded again and her eyes still didn’t move away from mine.
I swallowed the distance between us, reaching for her, but before I could touch her. She moved back, her eyes tearing away from mine.
“Stay back!”
She shouted, as her blue eyes fell on me again. They were completely cold. “What nonsense is this?”
“I know this doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense to me either. But it’s me, Naomi, and I am alive. You brought me back, Naomi. Kaiser is here as well, we came through the-“
“Enough!”
She yelled, and I could see the glow in her blue eyes, but she hid it quickly. “Whatever you think you are doing, I will advise you to end it and leave now. That’s if you value your life,”
she sounded again. There was nothing in those gazes of hers, and all I could see behind those gazes of hers was a deep, endless void.
She retracted her gaze from me and turned around to leave but before she could, I reached out and gripped her wrist. Those tingling sparks erupted, and I heard the soft, almost unnoticeable gasp that left her lips. Instantly, she sent me flying using her magic and I crashed against a tree. f**k. I groaned, pushing myself up on my boots as Naomi moved out of the woods. I went after her but halted the instant the witches from earlier caught up with her. I had no choice but to back against the trees. Naomi didn’t stop, she kept moving until she reached her horse with those witches following her. She got on her horse and rode off.
I leaned against the tree, watching her fade out of sight.
“What happened?”
Kaiser voiced behind me. “Tell me, Killian. What happened to Naomi? What did she say?”
“Nothing,”
I replied, getting a ridiculous look from Kai.
“Seriously, Killian. I blew my chance to see my sister for you, and she said nothing?”
“Didn’t she recognize you? I mean it’s possible. Vladimir has his way of doing that,”
Zena said and I shook my head.
“It’s not that. Something’s wrong with Naomi, Kai. She recognized me, but pretended not to or didn’t want to believe it was me. I don’t know,”
I huffed out, gliding down to the ground. “She’s wearing his mark.”
“I told you she was mated to him,”
he counted his words, spelling them out for me. I shut my eyes as Ryker curled up in a corner of my mind in pain as the ugly truth settled in.
My mate was mated to another. She was beside that bastard, spending every awakening hour beside him, and no doubt against her will.
“This was our last chance to get to her. With what happened tonight, it’ll be much harder getting to her,”
Kai was muttering more to himself.
“I know. That’s why we need to get into the Fortress. We need to know everything that’s going on there,”
I was up.
“We can’t just waltz in there. Remember, that imbecile would recognize us the instant he sets his eyes on us.”
“I do know that,”
I turned to Zena. “That’s where we would need your help, please.”
Her eyes moved from mine to Kaiser’s. “Alright, but whatever we are doing, we need to be careful. From what happened tonight, the coven will be more alert.”
“We should hold back to the shack,”
Kaiser suggested, and we all nodded. More than ever, I need to get into the Fortress and know exactly what’s going on.
Naomi’s point of view
I moved faster on my horse till we reached the Fortress. I rode past the warriors scattered around the Fortress grounds, wearing similar clothing from the Circle, having half of their faces covered. I got off my horse, leaving it to a warrior.
I gripped hard to my dress, as I moved hastily past the hallways. Walking as fast as I could. I couldn’t wait to get to my chamber. I could hear the calls of Kali and Sybil behind me, but I couldn’t deal with any of their nonsense right now. I couldn’t let anyone see me like this, I wasn’t in the right state of mind.
The second I burst through the doors to my chamber, I slammed them close, using my magic to ensure no one got in. I loosened the ropes clutching around my neck that held my cloak in place. It was suffocating me. I tossed it on the floor, pulling my hands to my face.
I felt the chaos inside me, as well as Adie’s struggle to the surface. She was fighting for control and my body was vibrating intensely. It caused the burning lamps in my chamber to burn fiercer and the calm air around me began to grow rough and violent, creating a disaster within my chamber.
“Adie, please stop!”
Adie was fighting harder for control. She wanted us to go back to the woods. She had completely lost it and wasn’t thinking straight. I couldn’t let us play right into one of Vladimir’s stupid games. “It isn’t him, Adie,”
I yelled, enunciating each word, and every struggle of hers seized. This wasn’t the first time he had tried to get into my head, to break me and see right through my emotions. I couldn’t let that happen.
I was trying my hardest not to lose control of my emotions, but at every attempt, I felt my heart shattering the instant the thought of Killian standing right in front of me flashed through my mind.
My emotions were spiraling out of control, and I lost them. My body and soul gave in to the pain that had taken dominance within me, feasting on every piece of me. It was saddening. I wanted to scream, to release everything I felt at the moment, but I couldn’t. I placed my hands over my lips in a weak attempt to muffle it all and tears found freedom from the gates of my eyes.
I was completely frozen. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t hold back the tears that burned my eyes, rolling down my cheeks and my thoughts, and every piece of me was filled by him again. Killian.
I couldn’t believe this. This was the cruelest I had ever been tested with in all my time here. I held on tightly to my dress, as my knees kissed the floor. I wasn’t in control of anything at the moment. I felt Adie retreat to a dark corner of my soul. The familiar pain that had always coursed through her merged with mine, staking my chest.
I fell hard on the floor, crying my heart out and I was forced back to that moment I lost Killian forever. It played over and over in my head, hurting me to the depths of my soul. Killian was dead. I watched him die right in front of my eyes and held him in my arms. I shut my eyes closed and I could still see those gazes of Killian boring right through me and for a painful second it felt like him. I didn’t know what was going through that psychotic bastard’s mind, but this was absolutely the worst.
“I swear it felt like it was him,”
Adie voiced slowly within me, and I couldn’t deny it. She was right. For a god-damned second, I almost believe it.
I shut my eyes, leaning against the bed. “Stop it, Adie, it isn’t him.”
“Think about it, what if he’s really-“
