Backfired
Chapter Thirteen - Backfired
Balor’s POV
Reyna held her composure on the outside, but her heart was telling a different story. Her chin was held high, and for forced herself to stand in a relaxed position. Arms crossed in front of her chest, her one knee slightly bent. Her black trench coat hid most of her outfit. The only thing visible was her combat boots. Her chocolate brown hair was frizzed by the cold winter wind that never seemed to let up in this city. The tall buildings acted as a tunnel guiding the harsh winds from Lake Ontario through the city's busy streets.
I forced myself to look away, the papers on my desk becoming the most important thing in the room as I tried to stop the thoughts of her invading my clarity. I picked up a folder and opened it. It was the report with the reasons why Detective Reyna Killi

The Deadly One Surprises
Chapter Fourteen - SurprisesKai’s POVI’ll never forget the first time I came to Godric. It was nothing I had to imagine hell to be like. The stories about the Underworld were just that, stories. Maybe it was the dragon part of me that found comfort in the never-ending darkness and warmth of this world or how free it felt to always blend in with the night sky and dance with the northern lights.But this place felt more like my home than Caspian ever did. The man, if you could even call him that, who tolerated my existence, made me feel like a speck of dirt beneath his foot. But here, I was never made to feel like that, quite the opposite actually. And the two people who helped me who raised me these last five years. We’re the closest thing I had to a Mother and Father.&n
The Deadly One Disrespect
Chapter Fifteen - DisrespectReyna's POVI took a deep breath before reaching for the familiar metal handle. The cold winter air made my cheeks flush and my fingers numb as it nipped at them, making me want to immediately stick my hands back into the warmth of my pockets.Every winter, I had to purchase new gloves because mine always seemed to get misplaced. It was a terrible habit, one I regretted in moments like this. I made a mental note to get new gloves after work today.I pushed open the door to the station, the phones ringing and the chatter of voices filling up the station walls. It felt good to be back in this place. Two weeks away from work was too long. I couldn't say I regretted it, though, because that would be a lie. Yes, I regretted the time I lost to hunt down any leads, but Sullivan made sure to keep me in the loop as much as possible, and after the

Balor’s POV Sixteen - VisionsBalor’s POV“You're nuts,” Reyna shouted at a man who had her pinned against the wall by her neck. A woman stood behind him screaming, telling him to let her go.They were all in a small kitchen; a small dining table was thrown against the fridge. Chairs smashed into pieces—Reyna's blood dripping from her forehead. A gun was on the ground beside her, her phone screen completely destroyed.“You’re the one who's nuts. What were you going to do to shoot me? You ungrateful bitch. I came here to offer you a different future, and you spit in my face.” The man snarled, raising his own gun to her temple.“I got p
The Deadly One AWOL
Chapter Seventeen - AWOL Reyna's POV The shock of what had happened was the only way I could describe how I was feeling. It was the only way I could make myself believe why I had agreed to what Balor demanded I do. I lied in my police report making it out to be a burglary gone wrong. My mother's statement matched my own, with a few extra details added to ensure that it wasn't just by chance that I got here as they broke in. I looked at the broken furniture my mother, and I destroyed to make a more convincing scene. Her kitchen table turned over, and papers were scattered across the kitchen floor. A few picture frames were broken, along with a few mugs. Creed had been outside when this all happened, thankfully. Ivan forced my mother to put him out.

Chapter Eighteen - FairytalesReyna's POVBalor stepped in front of me, not giving me any room to move, as he basically pinned me against his desk."What are you doing?" I asked. My voicepanicked as I looked up into Balor's eyes. The swirls of Blue burning into me. He pushed a lock of hair behind my ear."Well, I can't have you knowing all my secrets." His tone was dark, but something in his eyes told me I could trust him. The world went dark as he slid the blindfold over my eyes, and warmth enveloped me as he lifted me into his arms."Don't want you tracking every turn and step we take." Before I even had a cha
The Deadly One Runaway
Chapter Nineteen - RunawayBalor's POVI sat in my living room, staring out large windows. The snow had finally decided to fall, and from up here, you could count each snowflake individually as it fell towards the city street. I looked into the other building across from me. Most of the rooms facing me were offices, but a few were from a penthouse too. The odd lit-up Christmas tree and decoration filled a room or two.I looked down at my glass of whiskey, swirling it around as I let my mind drift. The Winter Solsticecelebrations in Gardenia were two days away. It was a magical time of year and probably one of my favourite celebrations from childhood.It lasted for a month and ended with a huge winter-themed ball just before Christmas.It was the
The Deadly One New Angle
Chapter Twenty - New AngleBalor's POVThere is something about spending a few days away from the city that really opens your eyes, makes you appreciate the quiet and the slow-moving you get in the country. But, of course, it also doesn't hurt to come home to a captured rat and the possibility of spilling some blood to really add some pep to my step.I walked down the musty hallway with a smile on my lips as I prepared for what was to come. All the stress that had built up over the last month had really gotten to me, and I needed someone to take that rage out on—findingthis guy really couldn't have come at a better time.Even training with pack members the last two days wasn't cutting. I needed to watch someone scream as I made them bleed. I needed t
The Deadly One Agreement
Chapter Twenty-one - AgreementReyna's POVI thought about the text all night, only giving Balor a response this morning after I discussed it with Piper. We went back and forth, and ultimately, she told me it was my decision.I don't know why I agreed to meet him. Maybe it was curiosity or the fact that I seriously couldn't stop myself from entering a dangerous situation. But here I was sitting in an empty coffee shop waiting for him even though he was already five minutes late and probably only set this up to mess with me.I looked at the time on my phone and then the clock on the wall. It was five past six. I pulled up to my pocket media app and began scrolling through recent posts trying to busy myself as I waited for Balor to arrive, if he was even going to, that is. I closed th
