The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness

Kataleya Rossi: A Love To Claim Chapter 26



~ ENRIQUE ~

The crawler had finally been moved to the dungeons, with hopefully a prison secure enough to hold him. Royce, Raihana, Delsanra and I formed it together. Seeing them perform spells, I almost felt I understood them. I was told I could perform magic without the need of spells. That is something I have yet to try when my mind isn't consumed by turmoil. Now we see if the cell holds.

However, aside from hissing and shrieking, we got nothing out of him. Raihana suggested we wait for Kataleya to wake up since Azarakh has conversed with her before, but that she will continue to try to get it to speak.

I want to head back to the hospital but there's still so much pending.

"Jose, get the car. I need to visit the family of the deceased," I order.

"Alpha Enrique. I need your permission to allow me to question Hugo, with magic, if needed. He has lied, or at least kept things from you and us," Raihana says.

I frown, "What do you mean?"

"You don't need the Ash Stone to control the guardsmen, it only enhances your powers."

How is that even possible? Hugo was not the only source of that information.

I frown. "No, that can't be right. A witch, the only one we have on this island, she said the same thing..."

"Then we should bring her in for questioning, too. Listen, we learned some things tonight, and after what's happened, I think you should listen to what we are saying. This could help Kat," she says quietly. "Hugo is someone who has worked for my family for years. He is-"

"Then do you know that he is a guardsman of a king before you?" Raihana asks sharply.

My heart races as I stare at her.

That can't be true...

My wolf is restless as I stare at her. "Is that where Kataleya learned about what the Ash Stone might be, if that's even true?" I question quietly. "Yes, but I don't know, not until I've questioned him," Raihana says.

"And can I ask how you found out about Hugo? Where did you two go?" Liam cuts in, looking more serious than I've ever seen him. His eyes sharp. Crawlers are joining the fray in greater numbers. Even though I can see that everyone is giving it their all, the number of them is merely increasing. I hear several people respond to him as he throws his head back and lets out a howl that is so loud that it deafens me. The darkness is becoming more pervasive as more people approach. 1. I say this with a chilly tone, feeling a surge of determination in my body. "I will never be yours, and that body is not yours either," I assure her. Enrique has gone through enough in his life, and the Escarra family has also been through enough. But this will be the final occasion. Now is the time to put an end to this. Right now.

A deep, frightening hiss from him, and I hear it. It is a hiss that no human being could possibly produce. His eyes are a brilliant orange color. In spite of the fact that additional crawlers are entering the room, he just hisses and smiles cruelly at the same time. To a large extent, we are outnumbered. "Join me or they die."

We have not yet found a means to eliminate crawlers, despite the fact that everyone is a skilled warrior. Enrique is the only person who is capable of doing so. As a result of my own abilities, I kill a few of them. Before they go, the light causes them to hiss and shrivel, and it is likely that they are hiding from the intense light that emanates from my aura.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to detect the odor of blood, and the number of them is just increasing.

A couple bursts of light are directed at the crawlers that are attacking the warriors, but Azarakh is the one who steps forward immediately after.

"Enough." It is his attempt to command me. You are on my side for sure. Take a look at this human "

Never in my life will I be on your side.

I give Uncle Liam a quick glance, and I am aware that he is asking me about my plans in a voiceless manner. Despite the fact that I have no idea whether or not it will be successful, I have no choice but to give it a shot. The fact that Enrique was willing to take any danger for me is something that I will do for him as well.

I'll take care of this. "No one interfere," I command in a low voice, having the knowledge that everyone can hear me. Uncle gives a slight nod as he gets down on his knees and raises Rhea's body, so removing her from the danger zone.

I now make my way back to Azarakh and proceed to go forward. I am not sure if this will be successful, but if I am able to contact with Enrique for even a little minute, it would be of some assistance.

"Remember, if you try anything, this body will feel it, not I," he whispers to himself.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

What?

That would be of great assistance to the plan that I am currently formulating right now.

On the other hand, you were able to identify her through him. I take it that you are linked, is that correct? With my aura under control, I inquire. I mutter, "I don't want to hurt him," under my breath.

He flashes a smile, one that is so icy and icy that it simply makes me more tense.

He is a man who is filled with gloom. It worked well for me, but he is still my vessel. I used that to my advantage. When I tell you to do anything, you will do it because you want him to be secure and undamaged. While he is grabbing hold of my chin, he sneers at me. Asheton Queen, you shall be by my side forever. Regardless of the circumstances, with you by my side, we will be able to break through the curtain that covers the lands and establish our dominance over this island. To ensure that every member of our family is able to visit!" he hisses. There are breaches in the veil that enable more of these things to pass through, and my stomach is giving me a twist.

It's not a goddess.

Okay, Kat, you need to move with caution in this situation... I take a deep breath and glance around, my heart squeezing as I realize that we have lost a man. The majority of these individuals are not suited to battle these monsters that cannot be slain. Because I need to become close to him in order to determine whether or not this plan, which I don't even know will work or not, has a possibility of succeeding, I need to make sure that I strive for persuasive.

Okay, if you guarantee that none of these individuals will be harmed, I will be by your side. I will not look back. I assure you!" My eyes well up with tears as I take in the sight of one of the mutilated bodies lying on the ground, with blood splattering across the surface of the ground like paint. He is observing me with a keen and attentive gaze, as if he is unsure whether or not he should believe me.

"I are not going to be yours. Not at all. Nevertheless, I will obey! I assure you of that." Those words cause him to relax a little bit, but it's just a tiny bit. I cannot help but whimper.

With a flick of his fingers, he releases my chin, and a tendril of darkness materializes around me, encircling me securely before he pulls me closer to him. As I pray that Enrique is able to sense my proximity, I fix my gaze only on his eyes.

As of right now, My Queen, I do not trust you. "Please forgive me," Azarakh mutters out loud. My head nods.

I whisper, "I understand, but as long as you don't hurt them, I won't fight," because I am uncertain whether my innocent expression or words of promise would be effective on a creature that is not similar to us.

When I look at him, I try to maintain the most innocent expression I can conjure in the midst of a situation in which people are being assaulted all around me. I want to be of assistance to them, but at the same time, I have to earn the confidence of the monster that is in front of me. Although I don't react, it appears that he is analyzing me before the dark tendril wraps around me even more tightly, to the point where it was excruciating. It is then that he abruptly grabs my arm and pulls me closer, his lips touching mine. "Very well then, as you wish," he says as he makes this comment.

I am being bitten by a painful cold, and my heart is beating erratically, all before the pain begins to rip through me. It hurts my eyes, but I don't move because I'm trying to keep myself from pulling away.

Mr. Enrique...

Do you happen to be in that room?

My heart is pounding as I press my lips against his, attempting to avoid being disgusted while simultaneously focusing my thoughts solely on Enrique.

Should you happen to be present, Enrique...

When I think about all the different ways in which what I'm about to do could go wrong, my mind is spinning. On the other hand, it is the only thing that is current in my head at this moment."

Slowly, I make my way back.

"Enrique... if you can hear me, fight it, My Love," I mutter quietly to myself. Now that Azarakh understands what I meant and what I said, his eyes widen and his face contorts in anger; nonetheless, it is too late for him to change his mind.

The moment I open my eyes, I close them for a little moment before opening them again. As I allow my aura to extend, they burn brilliantly, and then pink blazing cherry blossoms wrap about us. I look Azarakh dead in the eye as I break free from my bindings and let my aura to spread even more.

"You..."

"I will never allow anyone to hurt my Enrique."
