The Rejected Mate novel Chapter 26

My voice sounds more deeper, meaning that Killian is in control. My eyes flash black as I take deep breaths in to calm myself. I feel my eyes going back to their normal color.

I retract my hands from her throat and from the death grip I had on her wrists.

"Geez, remind me never to do that again" she rolls her eyes as she speaks.

"I wouldn't keep you alive if you pull a stunt like that again" A dark smirk crosses my features knowing that I got my point across.

"Now where were we before you decide to choke me?" She asks sarcastically ignoring my last words.

"I want you to cast a protection spell on m Serenity" I state, now serious.

"And where do I find the source? Where do you expect me to channel the power to cast such a powerful spell?" she asks me with her face scrunched in confusion.

"You will channel it from me" I say without a hesitation in my voice, I knew what I had to do and I was ready to risk it. After all it was worth it in the end.

Kaya's eyes snap towards mine and she looks at me with an unknown emotion in her eyes.

"You know that is a huge risk on your part, right? it can weaken you maybe even take your life if it drawn too much of your power!" She asks me incredulously with that same unknown emotion swimming I  her dark eyes, which I couldn't place a name.

"I'm aware Kaya, I'm no fool" I reply keeping my eyes on hers showing that I'm completely serious.

She shakes her head at me and says something along the line of 'young love' under her breath, I couldn't be too sure.

"As you wish Alpha" she motions towards herself, asking me to stand before her.

I'm skeptical at first then I see it. The wooden bowl like things in which she was pouring some dark potion and crushed herbs, muttering some spell under her breath.

Standinv before her she motions me to bring my right arm towards her and I do as asked, taking my wrist in her hand she brings a sharp blade forward. she looks at me for permission and I nod my head in reply.

She bring my hand above the wooden bowl and slowly glides the sharp blade on my skin, causing it to pierce into my skin and dark blood to immediately ooze out of it.

It doesn't hurt, this is nothing compared to the things that caused the scars I have on my body. This wound would heal in no time.

Slowly pulling the window, I realise that it's unlocked which works in my favour. Climbing into the familiar room I find the small crib placed in the middle of the room. Toys are spread all around the room, when I peek into the crib my heart halts it's beating when I don't find the tiny body I usually did, I only find some soft toys and pillows.

I start panicking when I don't find him, a movement towards my right catches my attention, I sigh in relief when I take in the scene before me.

On the bean bag I find Serenity holding Elijah in her arms, his tiny hand circling around her as she has a hand wrapped protectively around his back. The scene before me melts my heart. 

Talking cautious steps towards them, carefully not to make any noise that I don't wake any of them from their peaceful slumber.

I place a kiss on Elijah's forehead. I move towards Serenity, moving the stray hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear.

I place a kiss on her forehead as well and moveaway, I manage to catch the small unconscious smile that takes over her face when she felt my touch.

"Goodnight my Angels" I say in a low whisper and leave the room just like I came in, possibly for a run.
