KATARINA
Why is he such a fucking asshole? I knew he was burned by Vivienne, she shattered his trust—at least that's what he keeps saying— but how long was he going to hold on to that? If there was a way to break the spell, but keep him stuck here, I would do it out of spite. The only reason I wouldn’t is because of Lucien and Aeon. They were family, and I couldn’t in good conscience break up that bond.
They constantly vouched for Zev, making me wonder if he was truly an amazing person, or were they hoping that by saying he was a good person, I would continue to attempt to break the curse.
I paced the balcony in anger, hating that I was letting him get under my skin, the cool air was like a balm on my heated skin. He assumed so much about me, but what hurt the most is I had feelings for him. It made me feel like a rejected puppy. Why in fuck’s sake was I vying for his attention like I didn’t have two other men to give it to me?
“Fuck!” I yelled out my frustration, expecting to feel mildly better, but I was met with nothing but silence. My chest hurt from this constant ache of loneliness I couldn’t shake lately, and there was the ever-present fear of death.
My eyes stung with the need to cry to release all of these pent-up emotions I was feeling, but I was so tired of it. All I wanted was to break this curse, and leave this place so my father or Caston couldn’t ever find me.
I would love to go somewhere I could enjoy my days with Lucien, showing him the world and everything it had to offer. Would Aeon join us? And would Zev follow? I could picture the grumpy asshole following us. I could picture him doing a lot more than just following us.
But what if Zev was the key to this spell? What if we needed him, and he didn’t want to help us? Was I going to die because he was a stubborn asshole?
“Kitten?”
I spun around to see Lucien and Aeon by the door, looking out of breath… and completely naked.
“Are you ok, Kit Kat?” They looked concerned, making me feel guilty for screaming and scaring them.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I just—” I looked up at the moon to reign in my emotions.
“Kitten, look at me,” Aeon commanded.
My tears threatened to fall when he grabbed my chin softly, looking impatient. His expression was murderous, like he was ready to burn the world for me.
“What happened, Kit Kat?” Lucien stood next to him with an expression just as fierce, but once we locked eyes, I knew he could feel my emotions. His expression softened, pulling me towards him, picking me up as I wrapped my legs around him.
The sleep shirt I had been wearing rode up, exposing my ass. The underwear I had on left little to the imagination. He walked into my room and straight out of the door.
I wanted to ask where we were going, but at this point I just wanted to forget, so I didn’t care where we were headed. Aeon trailed behind us looking like he was keeping guard. Was he afraid Zev would attack?
“It’s before three, Kitten, we are just making sure we don’t run into a feral Zev,” Aeon's velvet voice brought me comfort. “Are you hungry?”
“Not really,” I said.
“When was the last time you ate?” Lucien asked, rubbing my back.
“Um… yesterday,” I mumbled, knowing one of them was going to scold me.
“I’ll be back,” Aeon said, before he turned around, making his way back down the stairs.
Aeon's ass looked great going down the stairs, giving me all sorts of ideas and the urge to bite it. I nuzzled Lucien’s neck, enjoying the comfort and safety of being in his arms. His hard body against mine only fueled the thoughts Aeon had left with me.
Before I could rub up against him, we entered a room that smelled like Lucien. I perked up to look around, noticing the room to be bigger than my own. He set me down on a big bed that was on the floor, stepping away from me as I took in the rest of the room. A big window let the moonlight in, giving the room just enough light for me to see most of it.
The snap of fingers set a few candles on fire and I was jealous of that convenient piece of magic.
“Where are we?” I noticed an easel, with paper all over the place.
“This is my drawing room.” Lucien walked up to me in pants that instantly made me disappointed.
I raised my eyebrow at that tidbit of information, making me wonder if he had drawn me. The door to the room opened before Aeon walked in with a tray and it seemed he found some pants too.
“I brought food for Lu and I. There is enough for you too,” Aeon said, walking towards me.
