Unchained Beauty (The Deadly Beauties Live On 5)

Things you must achieve:

Make her stronger.

Make her harder.

Make her fight twice as fierce.

Work her like an animal, because that’s what she is. That’s what you’ve become so you can give her exactly what she needs.

You did this for one reason: You did this for her.

Slowly, I lower myself to the bed, ignoring the beasts that start to whine and whimper inside me, almost like they know what I’ll find before I even finish reading.

You were once the most powerful creature in the world, aside from your twin, but evolution makes the following generations stronger and stronger. Consequentially, you became viewed as weaker.

But as you’ve learned inside these rings, power can be earned or taken. Even the weak can take from the strong, but you’ll earn it. You have to. You’ll fuse more power into every fiber of your body.

While you’ve seen a thousand different possible futures, you always knew too much, and unexpected variables always sent the future spiraling back into the same finale as the last time.

Here are the important parts you need to know to hurry your memories…

Animal instinct is your new prime variable. Your beasts are now your weapon, and you’ll draw more power from them. Your visions have been tethered to surround only her, because that?

??s all that really matters.

The rest of your visionary power has been siphoned to fuel your more offensive powers.

This is the only way to start with new equations and fresh variables, but to do so, you need to ensure the biggest change of all happens.

And that will take away your ability to ever see the outcome of this new experiment, because that in itself is the biggest piece to changing the future you’ve seen too many times.

“New experiment?” I ask aloud, then glance around the cabin, my eyes dancing over the hundreds of equations on papers that have been scattered around with no real order.

Quickly, I put the book down, and I run over to start shuffling them all together, using some of my magic to hasten the process. Once I have the huge stack—that is no doubt in no order at all—I grab the journal and dematerialize into Kimber’s room at the new house.

It’s pure luck that I find her room so easily, because I expected to have to look around for her.

She blinks a few times when I’m suddenly in front of her.

“What’s all that?” she asks, confused as I drop the stack of papers and the journal down in front of her.

“I don’t really know, but I think we’re going to need it.”

“For what?” she asks as I pick the journal back up, scared to continue reading.

“Slade sees magic in numbers and formulas, a lot like you see your gatekeeping abilities. Can I ask you something?” I ask, looking away from the journal.

“Sure. What?”

“Gage doesn’t drink blood, but you’ve been with blood drinkers before, right?”

“Before I answer this honestly, I’d like for you to tell me why you’re asking…”

“Hypothetically, if a visionary is with a blood drinker, can the blood drinker see one of your visions while they’re taking blood from you?”

“Absolutely…not?” she says, sounding sure until the end, then it turns into more of a question. “Why?”

“Because I saw an old vision, I think, while I was drinking from Slade, and Alton said Slade used to be more visionary than beast—”
