My whole family started laughing at him like he was doing stand-up comedy or something. My uncle says, “Manny, your ass got a wild imagination!” But I felt my stomach drop and almost died of shock! I rushed up to him under the gazebo, glaring and whisper yell, “Why would you say that!?” But he shrugs and replies nonchalantly, not really looking at me, “What? Look how no one believes me! I can say that you’re one too and they still won’t believe me. People only believe in what they see. Only if I turn into Kane, would they believe me and my family is the same way..”

I look around at my family, laughing raucously at Manny. What he was saying is true.. But the look on his face had me feeling horrified suddenly. He looked like he really was considering turning into Kane right now! Oh no, “Please Papi please, don’t turn into Kane, Please?!” I pleaded with him as dread starts to fill me. My Grammy will have a heart attack and DCFS will split us up 6 ways from Sunday! I’m not old enough to get custody of us yet. Why is he doing this?! “Oh GOD, Papi, please don’t do this!” I whisper. I’m close to tears now!

I was so close to doing it, so close to shifting! I felt like they were all laughing at me. And I wanted to show them that I am no Laughing Matter! I wanted to show them that I am the Strongest. That I am the Highest. That I am the Best. That I am the Deadliest. That I am the Most Vicious Creature Alive! I could hear Kane urging, “Calm Down, Manuel! This is not you thinking these things but Yah’El, your Demon, trying to control you! Fight Him, Fight Back!” I then hear a deep sinister, maniacal laughter in my head. It sounds kind of like Joker from Batman. But I didn’t want to listen. I wanted to show Everyone my Power, my Dominance, my Rage, my Anger!

I see his skin turns several shades darker. It was an unnatural darkness, like smoke or tar. And his irises did the same a nasty dark murky green color I’ve never seen it turn before. His shoulders were rising and falling rapidly, his nostrils flaring with his increased breathing. Thick dark veins began to appear under his newly darkened skin and all his muscles started bulging, rippling and flexing! What the hell is happening to him!? “Papi!?” I breathe out. I was terrified of him, but I was more terrified for my family. Would he really hurt them? “NO! We will not allow that to happen, Rukeya. We’ve got your back Gurl!” I hear Ja’el and another female voice with her say in unison. Now who the hell is this?! OMG, smdh!

Damn Demon! He would choose now to surface. GRRR! I’ll need her help to succeed in calming him down this time. I need to mindlink her, so I push my consciousness to connect with her. ‘Rukeya?’ I see my beautiful mate frown, confused, so I try again. ‘Rukeya!’ She gulps, looking a bit spooked. “Kane?” YES it worked! ‘Yes Mate it’s me.’ “How are you talking to me right now?” she whispers curiously, ‘I’m mindlinking you, my mind is privately communicating with yours. No one else can hear us, so speak to me using your mind. Just think of me.’ Her frown deepens, ‘Kane?’ ‘Yes, just like that Mate.’ ‘Ok.. so what’s happening to him?’ ‘It’s Yah’El, his Demon trying to surface and seize control. I need you to help me get him to calm down.’ ‘Ok Kane, but why all of a sudden is he surfacing?’ ‘Because you are not only my Mate but also theirs.’ ‘Theirs?’

‘Yes Rukeya, me as well as Jaspier his Dragon, Onyx his Merman, Ivan Seto his Vampire, Dagonae his Nephilim and Yah’El his Demon. Rukeya, you are Mated to all of us!’ she gasps softly, ‘I am?!’ I can feel her curiosity, confusion and fear through our bond. ‘Yes, and now because you and Manuel know of their existence, they are being bolder and trying to establish their dominance!’ ‘How can we get them back under control?’ ‘I can keep them in check for the most part but they really want you to be Marked & Mated already.’ ‘Is that really important right now!?’ she sounds agitated, ‘YES!’ she has no idea how dire it is that we all know beyond any doubt that She Is Ours!
