❤️ She is Mine (Part 9) ❤️

Kando smiled and let go of the guard's sword he was holding, flinging some of them at every corner available; including Storm's brothers.

"Don't hurt me, I came here to see you," Kando said once he saw Storm's angry face and eyes. His gaze quickly shifted to stare at Kira. "Please tell him not to hurt me. I didn't hurt any of them. I swear I am to talk---" he got Interrupted by Storm who had covered the distance between them and held his throat, lifting up the bigger man from the floor; Makin Kando dangling in the air.

"Storm stop, he is not here for a fight, he won't be that stupid to come to you," Kira said walk-in closer to Storm and putting one of her hands on his shoulders. "Let's listen to what he has to say." she added and pray Storm listen to her.

After a minute or two, Storm let go of Kando who fell on the ground with a thud. Storm put his arms behind him, staring and glaring at Kando. Of looks could kill. "Go straight to the point, I don't do little talk and if what you say doesn't gladly me, consider yourself dead." Storm warned, the sound of thunder could be heard from above them.

Kando nodded his head as a gesture for 'Thanks' to Kira before returning his gaze back to Storm and trying not to flinch at the loock he was receiving. He stood up to his feet and dusted his clothes, smiling once again.

"I am sorry about Gw-"

Interrupting him abruptly, "To the point." Storm said flatly.

"Right... I will be bringing Gwen to you tonight at the border of Altamon that's all I can do to rectify my brothers mistake. I hope you forgive me Storm I truly didn't want to take Gwen with me but I didn't know my brother has other plans." Kando apologize on his brother behalf and saw Morgan walking towards them from the corner of his eyes but he made no move to acknowledge his presence even when he stood close to him and was glaring at him just like the way Storm was doing.

Kira couldn't hide her shock from her face. "Kando do you know what you're doing? Dean will be mad. He will kill you."

"I don't care about Dean, I care about Gwen and I don't want him to hurt her. He is more angry than before and I don't want him to carry his anger on Gwen." Kando explained. "Plus I think he is being controlled by someone else."

"And how did you know that?" Storm asked, surprising Kando when he spoke to him.

"I saw a mark on his forehead and it's dark magic, I don't know if he is aware of it."

"And how do you know that he is controlled by someone or by dark magic? Last I remember you don't know anything about dark magic and it's only Adaoh who has magic," Kira said with raised brows. "So how can you recognize dark magic when you see one?"

"I don't know but when I saw it I could sense that a much darker force is controlling Dean, maybe a part of him, but definitely controlling him."

"So you are telling us that if we go at the border of Altamon that you will bring Gwen to us?" Morgan asked with clenched teeth. "How are we sure it's not a trap set by my uncle?"

Kando ignored Morgan and his question which annoyed the Prince right as he opened his mouth to shout storm spoke.

"So you are telling us that if we go at the border of Altamon that you will bring Gwen to us?" Storm asked, repeating his half brother's question.

"Yes I will come with Gwen. You have my word." Kando assured.

Morgan couldn't believe his eyes and ears. Wasn't it the same question he had asked the fo.ol who ignored him?

"How are we sure it's not a trap set by you and him to kill us?" Storm asked again, repeating Morgan's question. He was so close to Kando that he could feel the other man breathing on him. "How can we trust you?"

"Trust me Storm. I don't go back on my words."

"I can't believe this," Morgan couldn't hold back his anger as he pushed Storm away from Kando and stood in front of him, taking Storm's place and poking Kando's chest hard. "I literally ask you the same question and you did as if a human being didn't ask you a question, as if I was not existing, as if I am a gho-'' Morgan didn't finish his words when suddenly he felt one of Kando hands on his head who pushed him away lightly like a fly and stup.idly enough he saw himself flying away from them as his back hit a wall in the palace which gave way under his weight.

Morgan couldn't believe his eyes that the small push he had felt from Kando had made the wall collapse. He felt humiliated as some.of the guards try to stand him up. His mother and his brother were by his side immediately and not wanting to feel humiliated, he growled at Kando. "I dare you to do that again," he said as he began to walk towards Kando but stopped when he felt his mother's arms on his shoulder and when he faced his mother he could see fear in her eyes and she shook her head slightly. He understood what she meant. He shouldn't disgrace himself any further. Kando's voice brought his attention to him.

"You're not in my league neither are you a threat to me but him," he pointed at Storm "On the other hand..." he shrugged his shoulders. "What do you say?"

"We will come, don't keep me waiting for long or else..."

"I won't, I promise," he said sincerely and his gaze finally shifted to Kira. "Can I talk to you privately?"

"Why can't you say it here?" Storm asked before Kira would answer, one of his hands rested on Kira's waist, he did that just in case the bird man decided to grab Kira and flew away just like he did with Gwen.

"It's private and it's about Adaoh."

"Don't worry about it, whatever you want to say we know already," Storm said to him. "Now fly away from here before I change my mind and roast you." he added leaving no room for argument.

"Of course, I will see you later," Kando said as his wings sprouted out from his back and it began to flap, lifting him higher. "And thanks for not roasting me." With that being said he flew away going home.

As soon as he was out of sight, Storm practically lifted up Kira and headed for his room without uttering another word.

"You should have allowed him to say whatever he wanted to say," Kira said once her feet were on the floor in Storm's room. She was resting on a wall of the room while Storm was pacing around. "He wanted to tell me something about my mother."

"I think he wanted you to know that Adaoh is your mother and you know that already instead of wasting his time," Storm said. "Do you think he was telling the truth? About bringing Gwen to us?" he asked, stopping to face her.

"If there is one thing I know about Kando is that he never goes back on his words. He will come with Gwen."

"I could have suggested we Storm my uncle's palace and take Gwen with your mother out of there," Storm said and couldn't help but grimace a bit when he called that young man his uncle. And he was angry that Kira had lived with Dean.

"It won't be easy, Storm, I have lived with Dean and like I told you before, I know what he is capable of doing. If we attack we are no match for him."

Storm snorted. "You are no match for him, not me, sweetheart. You haven't seen the other side of me," he said and then he was serious. "I want to ask you a personal question Juno." he added as he closed the gap between them and placed his hands on each side of her head, caging her with his body. "How many times have you… you know?"

"Know what?"

"Slept with him, with my uncle," Storm said. "I still can't believe he is my Uncle and he wants you."

"But I want you Storm and I love you not him," Kira said with a smile. "And believe it or not you are more handsome than him and I would choose you even with my eyes closed."

Storm smile reached his eyes. "You still haven't answered my question Juno, the thought of him touching you, irks me. I don't want anyone one's hands on you apart from me. I want you to memorize my touch, I want your body to recognize only my touch."

"I haven't slept with Dean but I have done things with him intimately and I am glad we didn't take it further than the foreplay even when I pushed him too."

"Are you serious? He hasn't touched you yet?"

Kira nodded her head. "He hasn't touched me Storm and now even if I wanted to be touched it should be you, only you."

"I am delighted to hear that Juno," Storm said, beaming widely. "You're so beautiful, sweetheart and I am so lucky to have you." he added, brushing his nose lightly on her right cheek and placing a kiss there before staring straight into her eyes. "I want you so badly. I want to protect you and everyone I care about but I am afraid to fail. I don't want to fail anyone."

"Hey, you won't fail anyone Storm. You've got me and I am not some weak girl who won't go down without a fight. I believe whatever and however the storm is we will go through it together and come out victorious," Kira said.

"I believe that too."

"Now that I have answered your question, I also have my own question to ask."

"You can ask me."

"Why do you keep on saying I haven't seen the other side of you. Are there two sides of you which I or anyone else doesn't know about?" Kira asked. "You've said those words more than two times and I want to know why, why you keep repeating such words."

Storm stared at Kira for so long that Kira wondered if he heard her or not.

"Did you hear what I said?" Kira asked. "Storm." she poked him on his chest.

"Have got anger issues Juno which is uncontrollable. I don't get angry that easily but if I do, well, I don't know what will happen but I tried to kill my teacher once when I was sixteen, I succeeded though..."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know how I did it but when I got hold of myself he was in his pool of his own blood, I had cut off his legs Juno. And that was when the sickness came in. Apart from my late father, Gwen, I and my other brothers no one knows about this except you now. I killed my teacher. If only I had controlled myself, maybe the illness wouldn't have come and he wouldn't have died. Ever since that day I has vowed never to get angry." Storm sighed, sadness clouded his face.

"Until you nearly beat me to death Storm." Kira jokes.

"Oh, that wasn't the anger I had showed in the Garden of Edenis believe me if it was it, you and probably everyone in the palace would have died. I was just angry that Gwen was taken away under my protection. You haven't been to the Garden of Edenis so you won't understand. It will take years to rebuild what I had destroyed."

"Always remind me never to anger you."

"Oh don't worry about that sweetheart, I have promised myself never to hurt you again." Storm promised, raising up his right hand to his side face level.

"Okay," Kira said with a shrug. "I want to have a quick bath, care to join me?" she asked teasingly as she headed for the bathroom.

"Next time, let me go and talk to your father I will be right back." Storm said and kissed her softly on her lips. "I love you." he muttered against her lips and left Kira who was smiling like an idiot. She made sure the door was locked before she entered the bathroom.

She quickly took the quickest bath she ever had and was out of the bathroom dumping the clothes she had worn at the laundry basket; a maid will come and carry the used clothes to wash. Kira went to the wardrobe there, where she took a loose wool trouser and shirt that belonged to Storm. She was putting on the shirt when she felt it. She felt as if she was being watched and stopped what she was doing looking around her. Her instincts never lie. She fixed her shirt and was out of the room speeding towards the room her father was in, luckily for her she saw Storm with her father when she barged in.

Storm whose lips gave way into a forming smile paused when he saw her eyes. "What is wrong?" he asked.

"There is someone in your room..." Kira didn't have to finish when Storm walked past her and began walking straight to his room, Kira and Emera followed him.

Pushing the two guards stationed outside his room door out of his way and opened the door hoping to see the intruder but saw an empty room instead. He opened the bathroom and peered inside but saw nothing. He opened the wardrobe and didn't see anything. Finally he turned to face Kira. "There is no one here?"

"If you had let me finish before you ran out anyway, I felt eyes on me when I was putting on your shirt. I felt I was being watched by someone though the feelings are gone now." Kira said as she turned to look around the room once again, this she didn't feel anything.

At the mention of his shirt Storm's eyes inspected Kira's body slowly and smiled all of a sudden. "You look like a baby dwarf in that sweetheart. Didn't you see the trouser sweeping the ground?"

At that moment Kira noticed the extra layers at the mouth of the trouser she had worn and the shirt. In her haste she didn't notice the length of his trouser and shirt. Bending down to fold the trouser to her ankle and the shirt to her wrist before glaring at Storm direction.

"I am not a dwarf. Do I look short to you?" Kira demanded still glaring at Storm and one of her brows raised up daring Storm to speak.

"No, you are not a dwarf, my height wouldn't let me see anything."

Kira opens her mouth to retort back but Emera beat her to it.

"That's enough for both of you, Storm needs to start getting ready for tonight," Emera said. "And Juno, you are short and you should be thankful that you do not have your father's height."

"What's wrong with being a short girl? And last I remember you love this short girl." Kira said, folding her arms beneath her breasts with her eyes narrowing as if she was the wisest person among them.
