《Unexpected》Wrong
Advertisement
I put the last glass into the cabinet, closing the dishwasher. I turn around, jumping ten feet into the air when I see that Hunter has snuck into the kitchen.
“Can I help you, sir?”
He looks sad but delighted at the same time. He smiles, walking towards me.
“Actually, you can.”
He’s right in front of me. He tilts my chin up towards his, bringing his lips down to brush against mine in a gentle kiss. Something isn’t right.
I put my hands onto his chest, pushing him away.
“What are you doing, sir? You’re engaged.”
“That didn’t stop me last time, did it?”
Oh shoot. He remembers all of that.
He kisses me again.
“I broke it off with Peni. I don’t love her. I love you, Skye.”
Is this really happening? It’s like every girl’s dream!
His lips are addicting, but it still doesn’t feel right.
“This isn’t right. Stop this now.”
He doesn’t. I shove him away, wiping my lips with the back of my hand. He glares at me, clearly angry.
“What’s wrong, Skye? Don’t you want me?”
“No. Not like this. Something isn’t right.”
He grabs my hand, pulling me towards him.
“Everything is fine, Skye. Nothing is wrong.”
“Let me go.”
He tries to kiss me again, but I attempt to squirm away.
“Stop fighting, Skye.”
“Let. Me. GO!”
I yank my arm away just as he lets me go. I can’t stop myself from falling. My head slams into the counter top.
My vision goes black as Hunter is screaming my name.
Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been updating again. I'm ridiculously sick. Cough, sore throat, stomach ache, ear aches, the whole nine yards. I'm exhausted and updating as I write.
Anyway, thoughts on the story so far? What about Hunter here? What do you think is going to happen with Skye?

Devourer of Destiny
A wise old grandpa in a ring. An ancient weapon to unleash one's true potential. An unorthodox teacher who emerges from obscurity to provide heroes with enlightenment. In a cultivation world, those who would rise to the top usually have some sort of advantage that propels their rapid ascent. Things that many would offer their souls to obtain. Ebon Dirge, a fallen devil descended from the highest realms of the divine, is more than happy to accept their payment. Thwarted by the machinations of the mightiest beings in the universe, he is forced to begin anew in the lands of the weakest mortals. To prepare for the ultimate confrontation, he has hatched a plot to steal the best weapon of all: destiny. Whether it is a downtrodden youth in the savage wilds, a prince driven to desperation by the royal web tangled around him, or the students and staff of an illustrious magical academy... all should beware what they wish for. They just might get it. For a price, of course. --- PROGRAMMING NOTE This is a wholly rewritten version of the novel that originally began in 2018, not a copy-paste of those original chapters. ABOUT THE NOVEL Devourer of Destiny is an exploration of cultivation story tropes and foibles. It features: - Cultivation stuff. The story is a satirical take on xianxia and xuanhuan staples and tropes.- An irredeemably evil central character.- Multiple POVs. A lot of them, although the central character remains central and will always have the lion's share. POSTING SCHEDULE TBD. Still working it out.
