Chapter 139

I tried moving away, but Callahan pulled me close for a deep kiss. I let him as his lips were just as much of a drug I craved and could not get enough of.

My eyes fluttered, and I wanted to continue further but one glance outside the window told me that dawn was upon us.

And I had things to do. Such as trying to find out Mirabel again and what the Rogue King was up to. There were too many enemies lurking around.

So I kissed him back, feverishly, before pulling away. Callahan’s golden eyes glowed in the first rays of sunlight as his fingers played with my hair, tucking the loose strands behind my ear.

“Zee, if you dare anybody else come even close to you, I will skin him alive,” Callahan said with a hint of possessiveness.

I placed a finger on his chest, letting it trail over his bare skin. His body was chiseled to perfection, sculpted to remove all the faults he could ever have.

Slowly, I trailed my finger over his heart and placed my palm over it, feeling the steady beating of his heart.

“Talk about dying again and I would gladly take someone else-”

I began, but I felt the grip of his hand on my hair tighten.

“You are mine, Zee.” He let out a low, throaty growl, and I loved how jealous he sounded. I smiled as his lips found the base of my neck and he sucked on the skin, making me tremble all over again.

“You better stay alive for that. Or you know…I might just….”

I teased, and I felt his teeth bite into my skin, sending a delicious shiver over my body.

“Don’t you dare threaten me, Zee! I have not even started doing anything yet”

I tried not to shudder at that line before putting a bit of force on my hands to push him away.

Chapter 139

“Enough talk. Now, I have to get dressed and ready for the next tasks.”

“What tasks?” He murmured, trying to get hold of my arm that slipped away from him.

“Patience, my King. Let me go and learn all about this anchor stuff. You look after all the files scattered around”

Callahan ran a hand through his hair but let me go. I tidied my clothes and appearance to the best of my ability and opened the door to check if anybody was around.

Luckily the coast was clear, so I closed the door behind me and went outside, tiptoeing my way through the stairs and toward my room.

Thunder helped me make little to no noise, and I slipped into my room quite easily. The first thing I did after reaching inside was take a few deep breaths.

My heart was still beating frantically, and it had been excruciatingly hard to step away from the man of my dreams. But I did it since now. I was fueled with motivation to get to the puzzle of solving this mystery of the curse and maybe trying to find Mirabel again.

By now, I was certain it was her roaming around in the forest and she had shown herself to me, so there was a good chance she would show up again.
