(warning the Chapter contains that may make you cry. You have been warned)

I sighed in content as I lay in the bath with Raizel. My back to his chest as I sat between his legs, letting his arms wrapped around my midsection. Bubbles floated on the surface of the water, which stopped at the top of my chest, hiding our bare bodies. My knee cap barely popped up above the water as I leaned my head back, laying it on Raizel shoulder as he planted open mouth kisses on mine.

A strand of my hair fell out of my messy bun, slightly sticking to the side of my face, that was damp from the steam coming up from the hot soothing water. I lowered my body more into the tub as one of my hands rose from the water to reach up behind me and card through my beloved's slightly steam moistened hair. My other arm hugged my stomach, above his own limb.

“You seemed to be enjoying this, my love,” Raizel’s deep voice whispered in my ear before his lips went back to my shoulder. I let you an almost silent moan of content to answer him, my brain to foggy from the steam to answer me. He chuckled at my way of responding, his lips slightly vibrating again my shoulder making me close my eyes in content.

It went back to being silent as Raizel and I soaked in the tube, just enjoying each others company. I actually falling asleep from the peacefulness that was in the room and with the warm water surrounding. That combined with Raizels feather like kisses on my shoulder was bullying me into unconsciousness.

“I have something for you,” The sudden sound of Raizel’s voice made my eyes snap open. I stared at the ceiling above me for a moment before I slowly shifted and turned my body to straddle by lovers lap. I laid my forearms on his shoulders as a bright smile rose onto my lips.

“Really,” I asked voice laced with excitement which made him chuckle at me.

“I would never lie to you my love,” Raizel stated before leaning slightly forward to press a kiss to my lips. I eagerly kissed back as I wondered what my gift would be.

“Its time,” Noriko stated white loading her sniper rifle with a single bullet. The top was clear, showing the blue liquid at the top, while the bottom was made of gold with carved detailing. Kardi sighed while running a hand through his hair before fixing his jacket that was over a plain white shirt.

“I still don’t think we should do it while her fiance is staying the night,” The pink haired male sighed before looking through binoculars to look through an open window. He saw Raizel and Jayden sleeping soundly in her bed, with him spooning her possessively. Kardi smiled softly at the sight before sighing when Noriko started yelling at him for going soft. “I’m not soft I just haven’t seen two people like them since my parents died.”

“So, in other words, you're soft,” Noriko snapped before laying herself on the flat roof. She positioned herself and her rifle in the perfect angle to see the front door. She zoomed in a bit before looking back up at her partner. “You’re on.”

“Screw you,” Kardi sighed before gracefully jumping down from the building. Noriko rolled her eyes before going back to looking through her scope.

Bang Bang bang!!

I flew up in bed at the sound of someone hitting on the front door. I sighed before groaned when Raizel pulled me back into bed, still half asleep. I sighed at him before wiggling out of his grip, I swiped a loose grey shirt from the end of my bed. I got out of the bed while throwing on the shirt over my sports bra and having it cover my night shorts. I looked back at Raizel to see he had fallen back to sleep, with his back facing me. I giggled at him before silently opening my bedroom door.

I made my way downstairs with a quiet tap of my feet against the marble flooring. I paddled my way downstairs before swiftly heading to the front door. I pondered who would be at my doorstep in the middle of the night, wondering if it was one of the council members coming for the wedding. I shrugged to myself before placing my hand on the bronze doorknob.

I opened the door only to be met with a male with pink hair and purple eyes. I smiled at him sweetly before opening the door a bit wider.

“Hello, how can I help you,” I asked curiously before seeing his gloomy look. I furrowed my eyebrows before gasping as what I think is a bullet went into my stomach. I took a step back while clutching the wound that was pouring with blood. I felt my body start to go numb while the corners of my vision started to go back. I lost my footing and fell forward, the male catching me in his arms. I looked up at him with wide eyes to see him staring down at me with what looked like teary ones, like he was about to cry.

“I’m so sorry, Snake,” He whispered before picking me up bridal style right as my vision went completely back.

Raizel groaned softly while turning over in the bed. He was facing his lover's side, so when he opened his eyes, he expected to see her beautiful figure sleeping peacefully. However, he was met with the empty, twisted sheets that were left behind when someone got out of bed. He slowly rose from bed, scanning the room slowly, wondering where his wife-to-be was. He rose from the bed and shuffled out of the room, going to look for Jayden.

He couldn’t sense her immense power radiating anywhere in the house. He looked in all the rooms he knew for her to frequent; the library, her art studio, her study, and the training room. But every time he came up with the same thing: all the rooms were empty of any living presence. Once he had checked all the rooms in the house is when fear started to rise up in him.

He gripped his black hair on the side of his head while sinking to his knees. The feeling of anger, depression, fear, and heartbreak hit him at the thought of his Jayden disappearing from his life again. This time he thought she would be gone for good. His abnormal bloody tears started to stream down his face at that thought alone.

Because he didn’t want to lose her again.
