CHAPTER 10
KAI
V aleria looked at me and sighed, “This has been quite a day.”
I nodded, “Right. How are you feeling now?”
“I am good now. Maybe it was just my adamant Halo blood reacting to your Eldarian mark?”
I smirked, “Now you also have Eldarian blood in your body.”
“Seriously, how are you going to break the curse of your family?”
I nodded and rubbed the back of my head. “I still have tons of questions to ask Lyra. She must know how I can break the curse.”
Valeria looked at me, “Can we talk about something else?”
“What do you mean?”
Valeria sighed, “I am tired of all this. The other world, curse, fight and all.”
I smiled, “This is what my life is all about, but tell me what you want to talk about.”
Valeria kept her hands on her waist. “Now that my mark has been healed and I am standing all alive in front of you can I resume my job?”
I shook my head, “You will not go anywhere until I ensure my curse has been broken.”
Valeria took a deep breath, “I can’t live like this.”
“Like what?”
“Like doing nothing all day just eat, sleep, and repeat.”
“What about the sex part?” I smirked.
Valeria rolled her eyes, “Yeah, and sex, but that's not howI want to live my life.”
I walked over to her and kissed her lips. “Just a few more days…”
“What do mean by a few more days?”
“Just give me time to go to Eldaria and break the curse and free my kingdom from the web of Zamorra and then I’ll…”
Valeria exhaled, “Do you think I can be stuck at your mansion as if I have no life until you finish that evil goddamn witch?”
“Don’t you want to come with me?”
Valeria looked the other way, “I don’t know.”
“What does that mean?”
Valeria looked at me, “That means I am not sure what I want to do about it.”
I held her hands, “Val, you need to understand that I can’t stay here.”
“Why not? Mom is choosing to stay here, why can’t you?”
I held her firmly, “Because I have obligations to fulfill as a royal crown prince. It’s my responsibility to take care of my people and reclaim my throne.”
Valeria withdrew her hands from mine. “I have lived all my life here on Earth. I can’t leave my family just like that.”
I shook my head, “That’s not fair.”
Valeria snarled, “And you think it’s fair for you to expect me to go with you and leave my family behind without any hope of seeing them again?
I opened my mouth, but before I responded Anna and Eli barged into my side of the mansion. Anna walked over to us and pointed at Valeria, “Are you willing to leave behind your family and go to Eldaria forever?”
“I just told Kai and now I am telling you that I haven’t decided anything yet. It’s not an easy decision to make.”
Anna stared at Eli. “Did you hear this?”
Eli ran his hand through his hair. “Their situation is completely different from ours.”
Anna crossed her arms against her chest, “How?”
Eli sighed. “Because they don’t have kids.”
Valeria intervened, “But I have a family.”
Anna responded, “What if anything happened to you? What would I do in a complete stranger’s world? Or if we both died fighting then who would take care of our kids?”
“At least here we have our families,” Valeria added.
“We have our families, our people they will guide you,” I replied.
Valeria looked at me, “Your family? The same one in a slumber curse and surrounded by people who are possessed?”
“Do you think I can beat Zamorra?”
Valeria shook her head, “It’s not about you and Eli or your strength, it’s about Anna and I and our families. What if anything happens to either of us? Who is going to tell our families?”
Eli raised his hands in the air. “I think we should call it a night, it’s useless to argue until we open the damn portal.”
Anna looked at me and Eli, “Didn’t either of you ask Lyra about the key?”
“Did you see us asking her that?” Eli asked.
“I thought you might have when I rushed to the kids.”
“If my mom had a key she would have told us,” Valeria responded.
Anna turned her gaze to Valeria. "Your mom regained her memories after thirty years maybe she forgot to mention a key.”
“Where is the portal anyway,” Valeria asked.
“That portal can only be opened with a key, and anyone who has the key would be aware of the precise spot of the portal," I responded.
“But what if my mom doesn’t have a key?”
Eli sighed, “Then we’ll be stuck on Earth for the rest of our lives.”
“And Zamorra will continue to rule our kingdom and no one will ever know about it,” I added.
“We should all get some rest to refuel our energy and muster up the courage to face what life has in store for us,” Anna said.
After giving Valeria a quick glance, Anna continued, “There is no such thing as coincidence in life; believe me when I say that you and Kai met because Lyra and Kai needed to meet to recover her memories. And you can't say that everything that took place was for nothing.”
Valeria smiled and nodded. She looked at me, “Can I at least go out with Anna on a girl's day out?”
Kai ran his hand through my hair, “We’ll talk about this later.”
Eli wrapped his hand around Anna, “Yeah, we should call it a night.”
Valeria and I were alone in the foyer once again, “What would I do if anything happened to you?”
“Why would anything happen to me?”
I cupped her face, “If our eternal soulmate dies unnaturally we turn rogue and the consequences are dreadful.”
Valeria kept my hands in her hands and kissed them. “I am sure you would protect me the same way there you have protected me on Earth.
By the way, how did you manage to come and rescue me twice? And how did you know about my location?”
I looked the other way, “They were coincidences, nothing major.”
Valeria slipped her finger beneath my chin and turned my face toward her, “Then why are you not looking into my eyes?”
I tried to chuckle but failed miserably. “It’s nothing like that.”
Valeria crossed her arms against her chest, “We are not going to move an inch until you tell me the truth.”
I sighed and rolled my eyes to the back of my head. “Where is your phone?”
“It’s in the basement, why?”
“I have put a tracker on your phone and then gave it to you.”
Valeria covered her mouth with her hand. “How could you do that? That is a complete breach of privacy.”
I nodded, "Yeah, I am aware. I had no choice. I needed to know if you were okay or not. Also 80% of the bars and clubs I own in the city.” I clenched my jaw, “So I also observed you dancing with guys, drinking, and then leaving the bar with some random guy.”
“How did you watch me?” Valeria asked.
I tucked my hands in my pocket, “I have my ways of keeping an eye on my employees.”
Valeria rolled her eyes, “Don’t tell me you have installed secret cameras.”
She was expecting me to deny it but I stood firmly in front of her. Valeria narrowed her brows, “Do you?”
I nodded. Valeria clenched her fists, “Show me.”
I turned around, “Alright.”
Valeria shouted. “You have your phone right in your hand where the fuck are you going?”
“I haven't installed one or two secret cameras. Let me show you the control room.”
Valeria grunted and followed. Valeria's reaction as I opened the door to my control room was significant. Her eyes grew big and her lips dropped in utter amazement. She stood motionless for a time, taking in the sight around her. The room was a technical wonder, with sleek, high-resolution screens covering every inch of its four walls. Each panel exhibited a distinct stream of data, including live video from my multiple businesses. “You don’t trust anyone. Right?”
I responded, “Wrong, I trust my brother, Alex, Anna, and now you.”
I pointed to the right side of the wall with my finger. "This is my overseas business," I proceeded to the next wall over and walked forward. "And this is my business in the States," and then carried on, "And this is for all of my bars and clubs, and the next one is for my mansion and office."
“So my knight in shining armor was keeping track of me because he doesn’t trust me?”
I came close to her, “Hey, that's not true, Val.”
I placed my finger beneath her chin and moved her face up, “Look at me and feel the bond we share, then you’ll know I am not lying.”
Valeria looked at me for a while and then she bit her lips and I felt a surge in my dick. I growled, “Don’t do this, Val.”
Valeria raised her brow while biting her lips, “Is anyone watching this room?”
I slipped my hand beneath her thighs and picked her up. “You mean have I installed any secret camera in here?”
Valeria nodded. I took a deep breath, “Yes.”
I was able to get a nice look at Valeria's breasts which were partially visible from her bra as she detached the first three buttons of the shirt by herself. “You have one minute to shut down that camera.”
I put her on the table in the middle of the room and then retrieved my phone from my jacket and called, “Turn off the camera.”
“Already done,” I responded.
She had loosened all of her buttons, and her shirt was split down the middle, she turned her head to gaze at me, pushed her shorts down, and leaned back. When Valeria spread her legs, I was able to catch a peek of her pussy behind the thong she was wearing.
I intertwined my fingers with the thong and tore it. Valeria bent her knees and kept her foot between my ribs and pushed me back. “This will be your punishment for tracking me without my consent.”
I switched my weight from one foot to another. “That’s not fair, Val.”
Valeria put one hand behind her on the table and one on her pussy and she started to brush her fingers on the opening of her slit. While rubbing her pink core she was watching me with heavy eyes and asked me to sit so that she could torment me the way she planned. I sat on a chair, but I took off my jacket as the temperature of the room started to increase.
Valeria removed her hand from the table and started to unclasp her bra from the front and after a few tries her fully rounded beautiful globes sprang out. My dick was swollen enough that it started to suffocate in my pants. Valeria looked at her breasts and then she looked at me and licked her lips. I gripped the chair and grunted.
Now one hand was on her breast and the other between her thighs. Valeria’s breath started to get heavy and so was mine. I wanted to leap on her and press her beneath me on this damn table and suck her pink pebbles until she screamed with pain after making her skin raw. Valeria slipped one finger inside her curls and we both gasped. The only difference was she gasped in pleasure while I gasped in torture.
The moment she started to stroke herself I cursed, “Fuck!” She looked at me and smirked but continued to torture me. Valeria kept squeezing her breasts and it felt like she had no plan to end the torture soon. She had slipped another finger into her core. Her ass swayed against her fingers. I knew she was near because she closed her eyes and I saw some moisture at the edges of her eyes. I knew when Valeria reached the peak of pleasure two tears rolled down her eyes.
The initial ache had now become unbearable I wanted to scream, but I locked my mouth and tightened my fist. If my mate wanted me to watch, I'd do it no matter how difficult it was to stay away from her.
Valeria's body stiffened for a few seconds, and I realized she was about to scream. I darted my gaze between her legs, wanting to see her pulsating pussy and its hot stream. Valeria screamed and I dashed to her because I knew she was going to collapse back on the table, which might hurt her.
Valeria was in my arms, her breathing rough. I waited for her to open her eyes. She started to breathe normally. I grunted, “You made me pay for beyond what I did to you.”
“And who invited you to touch me?” Valeria asked.
I kissed her forehead. “Please allow me to touch you, I want to kiss every inch of your body and I want to fill you with my desire. I want to hear you scream my name.”
"Only if you promise that you won't lie to me in the future.”
I nodded, “I promise, Val.”
And then Valeria started to remove my shirt and I immediately rolled down my pants. Her breasts were bouncing between her opened bra and parted shirt. They were enough for my dick to harden further if that was even possible. I popped one of her pink pebbles into my mouth and started to suck softly. Valeria moaned and then my soft sucking turned into wild teeth bites including her risen part and her nipples. With my other hand, I started to squeeze her other globe, and soon that squeezing turned into hard pinches between my index finger and thumbs.
I kept pushing her wet pussy against my hot throbbing dick. My other hand was on her waist. I kept my mouth wrapped around her nipple and I loved it when her body trembled with each stroke. My body started to tighten. I felt my blood crashing through my veins. I positioned the head of my dick over her already creamy pussy. A loud moan escaped her lips.
I plunged my hard essence inside her in one go and waited for her pussy to choke my dick. It was so tight, and when the rush of adrenaline started to speed up I moved my ass and her waist against each other. Valeria held me by my torso and she was moving the lower part of her body with mine. I t created a beautiful symphony of heartbeats, heavy breathing, and a screeching sound on the wooden table.
My pleasure reached a crescendo and I roared and spilled my hot juice deep inside her pussy. She also screamed my name and released her white creamy desire. When I returned to my senses I picked up my phone and dialed. “Turned off all the cameras from the control room to my bedroom.”
I wrapped Valeria in my jacket and picked her up in my arms and walked over to my bedroom without wearing anything. I put her on the floor and ran the shower over us. After showering, Valeria passed out and I tucked her in bed and then went to meet Alex.
I went straight to his practice court, which is close to Eli's side of the mansion. I went thoughtfully, my mind racing ahead to the conversation I was about to have. When I arrived at the court, I could immediately hear the rhythmic thud of fists and feet against heavy leather.
As I opened the door, Alex was in the midst of an exhausting workout, his body glistening with sweat as he landed a barrage of punches and kicks on a hanging punching bag.
"Is this the right time to talk?" I asked.
Alex paused mid-punch, his chest pounding as he turned to face me. He wiped his brow with the back of his hand and fixed me with a firm glare. "I'm perfectly fine if you all leave. I want my sister to be happy, and she cannot be happy without your obnoxious brother."
I nodded, "I know, but I wanted to talk about something else."
Alex squinted slightly and observed my face, "What?"
I took a deep breath and lowered my head for a second to collect my thoughts. "Before crossing the portal, I want you to take control of my empire."
Alex was surprised, his eyes expanding. “But what am I going to do with all of this? You can just sell the business and save your hard-earned money for your future kids and Valeria."
I felt the weight of my choice as I slipped my hands into my pockets. "My kids will grow up in Eldaria, and I have no intention of coming back to Earth. All this wealth would be useless."
Alex scanned my eyes, searching for any trace of uncertainty or doubt. Seeing none, "Are you sure?"
I nodded, I had no words to explain further.
"So am I never going to see my sister ever again once she crosses the portal?" Alex asked.
I shook my head. "I have no idea, Alex. Trust me, if there is any possibility for Anna and the babies to see you I promise you I will send them to meet you here on Earth."
Alex turned back to his practice, “Alright.”
“Alright for which? To take my empire or to trust me for sending Anna?” Alex asked.
Alex punched the bag, “For both.”
