Chapter 56
Loiza's POV:
It was imposible to meditate with Kayden loosing control and Caliburn corrupting him with MY VOICE, with his desire and want for his mate! He was seducing him with power, riches and women, yet he had to change his voice to mine because I AM what he desires most! "Ayana! Open a portal to where Kayden is executing the slavers, with all the blood being fed to Caliburn he will be lost by the end of it!" No matter how much I suspect him, no matter how angry I am, he is MY mate and he NEEDS me.
Ayana opens the portal and there he is with neither his jade eyes or Deacon's black ones... they're red, Mordred's eyes!
"Kayden, he is lying to you! Do what you must but don't give in! Deacon, help Kayden focus, I will be with you tonight, I SWEAR! But only if Kayden and you ignore Mordred!" I shout enough to know he heard me... and he looks at me... his red eyes turning into his beautiful jade ones, but there's an internal fight. His eyes go from, jade to black to red. He goes back and takes another head, but stops again and looks at me... "He's LYING Kayden, all he knows are lies!" I shout at him... DAMN IT! His face becomes angry and distorted and he goes back to chopping heads off, he's not even half way!
I go closer, he needs my scent! I unbraided my hair and take a dagger from my hip belt and cut a chunk of my hairs off. I move forward in the crowd to get to the front, I take a few herbs from the inside pocket of my robe sleeve. They enhance any scent tenfold and I mix the hairs I cut with them. I use the wind to gide the mixture to linger where his scent glands will absorb them the most... and his eyes go back to jade. Why are there MORE heads? I link Bayoán and ask where did the other SEVEN heads came from... 'They tried to infiltrate with the victims being sent to Karaya from Blue Moon, why?' You idiot!
'Why?! They are not HIS responsibility! Take them off the chopping blocks NOW!' I reach right behind Marcus who stands a few meters behind Kayden. 'Izzy there's only seven more...' Ugh! 'FOR fucks SAKE TAKE THEM OFF NOW BETA!'
Knows the ways of Avalon he says, my ASS! How can he know the ways of Avalon and give Caliburn SEVEN more heads?! Caliburn can take over with less blood and a weaker mind, Kayden is holding, but the blood of those seven can be his end!
'FINE!' He responds. I see Braka and some Warriors take the extra seven but not before Kayden roaring at them... Marcus goes to him, but in his rage Kayden could wound if not kill him with Caliburn, so I stop him by putting my hand on his shoulder. His eyes stay the color of jade but his self control is slipping, I know my own is. My Mark shines yellow and I go closer to him and his eyes turn black... ok it's Deacon.
"Deacon, can you hear my voice? Do you KNOW who I am?" He looks afraid. Both voices speak as one: "You are the gift the Goddess bestowed upon us, you are our mate your scent let's me see you." It's so tender I want to reach out and hold him. This is so fucked up! Why would the Goddess do this to me?!
"My love listen to me, those seven are not your responsibility, their blood is not yours to corrupt you, let them be taken, look at me, listen to my voice focus on my scent..." I tell him while linking the extra seven be removed immediately, and they move fast. There are now 9 left. "Kayden only nine to go! You got this! Focus on my scent, I am here, remember, nothing Caliburn promises is real!" And he takes them with his eyes black... he is trembling! "LET GO OF THE SWORD KAYDEN!" And it's like he awoke from a nightmare, he looks at me with the sword pointed at me... I stay calm, I go closer to the blade's tip. "You see how it lies my love? It promises you would be fucking me today yet look who it wants you to kill." And the moment he sees it he drops it and falls himself... Stronger, more skilled ELVES couldn't have held it like that, Kayden is way stronger than I gave him credit for! He held Caliburn for all that time and was not lost! I must ponder more on this, he isn't as ordinary an Alpha as I though.
"Marcus help me!" And we get him to Daniella... she was ready with a battalion of Priestesses already chanting... "Help me!" I tell Marcus as I start undressing Kayden, we need him submerged so that the anti corruption medicine and potions can enter his every pore. When he is fully naked I get a good look at this FEAST and now I KNOW I won't be able to stop thinking about tonight! We get his large... Frame in a medium sized pool where he fits perfectly, but I can't stay I need to go back to my temple to meditate and now after what my eyes have witnessed it's going to be near imposible. I can't help it and I kiss his soft lips, he wakes in a daze... "Loiza, Is it truly you my love?" I want to wrap myself with him but I MUST go or I will loose myself to him. "It is Beloved, you did so well!" And a stupid tear fell from me and hit his cheek bone... He took it to his mouth. "You are so beautiful my love, you even taste beautiful..." I must go now Beloved I will see you tonight I swear!" I heard him making a fuss, but I couldn't stay there.
"MOIRA!" I roar! I am furious! And Bayoán comes to me ready to override any stupid choice I make, but I have no intentions of giving orders or commands.
"What do you want to tell me Loiza?" Her face stone as ever! Her tone, even.
I throw the Griffin hide gloves at her! "Here's your stupid gloves My Lady! You KNOW damn well they don't DO SHIT against Caliburn! YOU were there last night when those extra seven assholes where put in the dungeons to be executed today when you know DAMN WELL it would be hard enough with 23 fucking heads! That Caliburn WOULD fuck with MY MATES head! WHY would you allow 7 MORE added with THOSE knowing DAMN well what could happen to him?! What could happen TO ME! They are YOUR responsibility! Take them out at YOUR leisure My Lady, but do not DARE endanger my mate EVER AGAIN!"
I give Bayoán the look of death..."And YOU! You say you know the ways of Avalon, it looks like you don't know enough! Did Moira ever whisper in your ear how Mordred's soul LIVES inside Caliburn to this day?! Have YOU ever HELD it for even ONE MINUTE?! Kayden COULD have killed me without a thought, but he held it longer than ANYONE has without loosing his mind" I look at Moira: "I want THAT written in the annals of Avalon! It was a WOLF and not an ELF who withstood Caliburn the most." Back to my dear brother. "I DARE you to out perform his record! fuck BOTH of you!" And both look stunned. I nod to Ayana to open the portal, I am so DONE here!
