Page 91 of Secrets & Curses of Fate

I released Haden and took a step forward, my power pulsing from me. The man thought I liked what he said, but in reality, I wanted to rip his ugly face from his body. He reached out and gripped my shoulder like I was his to touch.

Haden reacted instantaneously. Before anybody could move, he had formed a dagger of ice in his hand and immediately stabbed the forearm of the man who was still touching me.

The man grabbed his arm and screamed.

“Do not touch what does not belong to you,” Haden warned. “She’s mine.”

I didn’t move a muscle. I could not look away from Haden. I was utterly transfixed by his handsome face. He turned his gaze at me and smirked. My heart was going to explode. Haden was watching me closely, taking in the flush of my cheeks and the white flash of my eyes. I turned to the man who was now threatening to kill Haden and his family, screaming curses and obscenities while tears streamed down his face.

“I think you will be the one I make an example of first.” I smiled as my starlight mist circled around him and gripped him tightly.

“Do you know why Haden could see me when no one else could?” I asked. “Did it ever occur to you that Haden’s eyes are the only ones I want on me? He is the only man worthy enough to see me; in fact, I kind of want to rip the eyes from your sockets because you are disgusting, and I feel nauseated knowing I allowed you to see what belongs to Haden.”

The man was struggling against my magic, but he could never overpower me. I looked at Haden, who was watching me with great curiosity. His void eyes taking in every move I made. He looked so unbothered by the way they treated him, but it pissed me off beyond reason.

Without a second thought, I twisted my magic and snapped his neck.

Everybody gasped as his dead body hit the ground. I turned to the rest of them. They all looked terrified of me.

Good.

“You will leave him alone. You will not throw things at him; you will not look at him. And you,” I turned to Kira, “if you ever touch what belongs to me again, I’ll rip your hands off. You are unworthy of touching him.”

“Who is this, Haden?” Kira demanded.

“I’m his, that’s all you need to know. He owes you no explanation for anything.”

My hands fisted at my sides. When had I become this possessive and angry woman? I wanted Kira to fight me so I had a good reason to rip her soul from her body.

“Well, I’m the girl he comes to when he wants to feel good; he owes me an explanation,” Kira sneered like a bitch.

I didn’t flinch at the cruelty of her words. But the thought of Haden with another female made me jealous beyond belief. I turned to look at him, and I swore I saw a flash of disappointment in his eyes at whatever he saw on my face.

My bond demanded that I make sure all these fucks knew he was mine. He would never belong to anyone but me. Ignoring her, I walked up to him as confidently as I could. His pretty, void eyes tracked me like prey. He smirked when I grabbed him and pulled him to me. Haden’s hands immediately drew me to him, and my lips slammed into his.

He groaned as he twisted my hair into his hands, leaning in and deepening the kiss. His tongue dominated mine. Fuck, I wanted more. He tried to pull back slightly, but I refused to let him go and just pulled him back against me, kissing him with all the emotions swirling inside of me.

My body was on fire. I was overwhelmed by my lust and smiled as my magic exploded from me, causing lightning to illuminate the sky and thunder to boom so loudly that it startled even me. Haden suddenly broke away from me, his eyes full of something beside the void.

I looked away from him quickly.

Gods, I was never going to get enough of that. Fuck, I had missed the way he kissed me like this. I didn't need to look at him to see he was staring at me with intensity.

I turned my focus back to the assholes gaping at us. Kira’s face was bright red with her anger, and I gave her a smug smile.Haden was staring at me. I could feel his eyes, but I couldn’t return his gaze right then because Kira had stepped forward. This caused Haden to look at her in such a way that told her if she touched me, hers would be the next body to hit the ground.

“You touch her, and you’ll join your father in hell,” he warned.

Kira gaped at the threat.

“I always knew you were a fucking freak—” Kira’s words ended immediately as I shot my star mist through her chest, ripping her heart out of her chest and bringing it back to be held in my hand as it slowly stopped beating. Her mouth fell open, and her eyes blinked one last time as her brain comprehended that I had killed her. I watched her eyes roll back before her body fell to the ground, dead. The men were watching me as they tried to process what just happened. I tossed her heart at their feet.

“I suggest you get fucking moving before I lose my composure.”

Chapter 24

Haden

Idon’t know how she did it, but I was feeling things while void. And all of them had to do with that fucking kiss. I didn’t speak as I watched her stare at Kira’s dead body lying at her feet. The men scattered at Della’s threat. I watched her back as her shoulders rose and fell in angry breaths. She had been angry as soon as she got here, and I wondered what was wrong.
