Elena:I tried to focus my thoughts enough to try and understand Ezra and Alvize’s words. I swear I did.But right now, all I heard was blurs of conversations. My heart raced and I tried processing everything that was happening, but it was like my whole grounds were now shaken.The fact that there was someone who was out there, one person, who thought that he owed something to my parents made my heart ache. I didn’t even know who the man was or what he owed them, but I could tell that he was being genuine with his statement.Ezra and Alvize were by the door as the man was leaving, giving us our privacy to talk, and I couldn’t help but dread the conversation that was to come. Especially now that I knew that he would be asking me about my pack and who they were.It was something that I kept for myself for a reason. The last thing that I wanted or needed was trouble for them, but judging by the fact that Alvize knew of this, I knew that he wouldn’t drop the topic if the whole world paid
Alvize:It took everything in me to stay calm, wanting to process what Elena said before she shook her head as she ran her fingers through her hair.The fact that Killian and I shared the same blood was something that I resented and hated. The man was my half brother, and finding out about this last year wasn’t the highlight of it. But to know that he might have been involved with killing my mate’s family, now that was something that I could accept. “Elena, are you…?”“Don’t ask me if I’m sure, Alvize.” She said, stopping me. “I don’t know anything, and I am far too emotional right now to be able to put my thoughts into a one and two sequence, but I fucking know that things are bad. And if the prick is the reason my family died, then I am going to make fucking sure that he regrets…”“Elena, calm down.” I said, stopping her. Her heart raced and I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her in for a hug. She fisted my shirt and sobbed, her heart racing against her ribcage as she did. I ran
Elena:I stood in front of the front door of Ezra’s house, wondering whether or not I should go inside after what happened between Lia and I.It was a windy day, and the trees that were in front of the house swayed a little. But despite the wind, it was hot, and I couldn’t help but frown as clouds formed before they disappeared again. The whole sky was off, and that was something that I didn’t understand. The last thing that I wanted or needed right now was to face the woman after the issue that happened between the two of us, and needless to say, the woman knew for fact that I didn’t want to talk to her. I didn’t know about her husband, but knowing that I could see her was something that I didn’t want to deal with.“Elena, no one is going to do anything to offend you.” Alvize said, noticing that I stopped and didn’t follow him toward the door. It was already open, but I didn’t find myself wanting to go inside. But I knew that if Alvize brought me here, then whatever facts that I was
Alvize:Elena kept her eyes on me for a few seconds before she took my hand in hers, slowly intertwining our fingers, probably noticing my anger in my eyes.I sighed and brought her hand to my lips, gently kissing her knuckle. What she was going to find out was not going to be easy on her, and the last thing that I wanted was to see her breaking inside because of the bastard Killian. However, I knew better than to stop her from knowing the truth about things. I would have it better that she finds out about them from me instead of finding out about it from some stranger. “Thank you,” she said, nodding at one of the maids who put a mug of coffee on the coffee table in front of her. The maid nodded and took a step back before serving the others. She knew that I didn’t drink anything in their house, and that was something that the whole family was coming to terms with. That of course, unless I was invited over for dinner or lunch. Otherwise, as a person, I refrained from taking anything
Elena:“Do you want anything to drink?” I asked Alvize, knowing that he hasn’t gotten anything to drink at his brother’s estate. The anger that I saw in his eyes was one that I never really thought that I would see or read. If anything, I knew that he was angry with his family, and I knew that he was trying to set more than one boundary to keep them away from him; however, the last thing that I expected was to see that he was as furious as he was with them. If anything, the man seemed ready to shoot back at anyone who thought of speaking to him.He looked at me for a second before forcing himself to relax a bit as he drove. Ezra and Donatello were in the car behind ours, and I knew that Viktor was on his way with the other men. I still didn’t know how things were going to come out eventually, but gathering us there now was not going to help if they were planning on playing a dirty game.He took my hand in his and gently kissed my knuckle as he drove, keeping his eyes on the road. I s
Alvize:Elena and I entered the station to frown when we found that Drake was already waiting for us by the door.“Now, this has to be very important if you’re waiting for us the way that you are.” Elena said, frowning at the sight of the man she once called friend. The fact that she was speaking to him normally surprised me enough as it was, but I knew better than to ask any questions at this point. She knew to act professionally when she wanted to, and somewhere inside me I could tell that she was blocking her emotions in, and that was something that I knew would end up being very healthy for her.Ezra and Donatello’s car stopped and he frowned at the sight of Donatello.“Our father,” I said, and Drake signed but nodded. He took a step back, allowing us inside, and I frowned at the sight of the management who were standing beside Joseph. Elena didn’t say a word as she stood beside me, and I couldn’t blame her, she would have her reasons not to want to speak to the man. “Great, one
Elena:We stood, staring at the walls that started crumbling before our eyes before Alvize tightened his grip around me, wanting us to leave. I knew that we had to get out of here, but the front door was not going to be an option, we were going to need to take the back door, but how were we going to reach it, now that was the question that I didn’t have any answers to.The ground shook, and my heart raced as I realized that we were in more trouble than we could have thought that we were, and the fact that he was here to begin with was alarming to me. Drake’s eyes met mine as regret filled his eyes for calling us over, the two of us knew that I wouldn’t have come here if he didn’t call, and I wasn’t stupid, I knew that they weren’t going to be in this situation had it not been for his call.At this point, it wasn’t just our lives that I was concerned about. I knew that these humans were in more danger than we would ever be. We would somehow find out how to deal with things, but even t
Alvize: The barrier between Drake’s body and us disappeared as the ground under the Lycan sucked him away from us. Hana was the first to run to the man’s side. She got on her knees by his side, shaking his body for a second, wanting to wake him up. Elena moved from my arms and went to her side. Her expression was numb as she walked toward him. Her heartbeat raced, but it was like she was barely here, and that was something that tore me inside. Elena got down on her knees beside Hana and put her hand on her shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Hana…” “Don’t you fucking TOUCH ME!” She yelled so loud that everyone in the room jumped. Elena removed her hand quickly before Hana pulled her gun out of her holster and pointed it at her. My eyes widened in surprise and a low growl escaped my chest before I could stop it. “What the fucking hell are you, you monsters? WHAT DID MY BROTHER EVER DO TO YOU?” “Hana…” “All he did was love you,” she said, loading her gun as she kept her eyes on Elena
Alvize:I wrapped my arms around my mate whose eyes widened in surprise as we entered our room.She looked at me and raised an eyebrow as I pinned her against the wall for a few seconds before connecting my lips with hers.The two of us were currently staying at Ezra’s estate, mostly because Killian was also here and the fact that everything was just too messed up for us to leave for a while, we chose to comply with Maria and just stay until we have managed to settle most of our things.“What are you doing?” Elena asked and I smirked before connecting my lips with her neck, biting down her sweet spot before running my canines over the spot where I wanted to mark her. Her body heated, and I knew that her wolf told her what I wanted.“I believe that you know what I am going to do. But I will need you to either say yes or pull away. Because once we start, I am not going to be able to hold my self control any longer.” I said and she whimpered before nodding. Elena connected her lips with
Elena:“I take it that you are the sister.” Maria said, looking at Hana who avoided my eyes. The woman stood in her true form, not bothering to cover it from the human who stood beside Killian, making me smile as I looked at Alvize. He wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed the crown of my head, letting his lips linger there for a minute before he pulled away to look at both Hana and Killian. “Can I really speak to him?” She asked and Maria nodded. Her heart raced, and the woman could tell that her life was not going to be the same after this. To say the least, this was the last thing that she would have expected. But then again, I doubted that she would have believed anyone if they told her about this.The ground, which was black, turned white before a few stars flew around us. My heart raced and my eyes widened as I saw Drake’s picture forming in front of me. Tears fell from my eyes as he stood in front of us, his eyes meeting mine for a second before he turned to his sister.
Killian:“Are you sure that you don’t want us coming?” Elena asked, looking at me and I shook my head.This was one thing that I had to do on my own.I had done my own deeds in this world, and I knew that I had to start paying for them. To say the least, I owed it to the woman, regardless of not knowing her, for killing an innocent man that I knew nothing about. The man was a target of Ianos, just like everyone else, but I have never killed anyone in front of another person. If anything, I never allowed them to go through that pain and vision.“If she chooses to want me dead, then she can fire until she finds herself relaxing. I will heal as time goes.” I said, looking at Alvize to take his mate. The fact that they have yet to complete their mating was something that I respected and yet was surprised about.With everything that they have gone through, I would have expected it, but the fact that it didn’t happen told me that they had more in mind than they let out. I just chose not t
Elena:I frowned as I woke up to find myself in a room that I did not recognize. My heart raced and I sat up only to frown when a headache hit me faster than I thought that it would.“Easy, malyshka.” Alvize’s voice took me off guard before he rushed to my side as he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to his chest. “You are in my room at Ezra’s estate, that is all.” His voice was content and relaxed, and though I didn’t know what happened, I knew that there would be a lot for him to tell me.“Ianos?” I asked and he smiled before nodding. He ran his finger over my waist for a second and I frowned when I realized that I had a bandage. “Your body was strong enough to fight off him trying to kill you.” He said, and I frowned. “Maria and Donatello came to us last minute…”“Donatello is alive?” I asked, my eyes tearing up and he nodded, smiling at me. Alvize didn’t even know the fear that I had in my chest as I thought that the demon tricked me into killing him. The idea of harm
Alvize:“Alvize, we are going to need to get out of here.” Donatello said, wanting me to leave. I shook my head as I kept my eyes on the door, knowing that Ezra wouldn’t be leaving either. The man knew that his wife was in there, and though they were arguing, the last thing that he would do was leave her at a time like this one. “You can leave if you want, I am not going to leave without her.” I said, glaring at the door before their shadows appeared.My eyes widened in surprise as I saw the hound rushing toward us. The ground beneath our feet shook as the place started crumbling, and I knew that it was the light of the scroll and blade. Whatever happened, I knew that my mate succeeded. Lia and Elena ran toward us but that wasn’t what surprised me. The Lycan, our brother, the man who was still considered our enemy, was with them, and both women were supporting him to ensure that he didn’t fall.I ran toward them and wrapped my arm around the Lycan who seemed to be injured as blood
Elena:I ran my finger through the scroll before putting it on my holster, surprised that it fit perfectly.The thing kept shrinking and growing depending on where it would be going.I looked at Alvize and Ezra, their eyes were fixed on the demon as Lia stood behind him, trying to find a right angle to hit him. I needed them out of here to kill the demon, it would be the only way to do it. Them being here was going to affect their lives and that wasn’t something that I wanted.“What the fuck are you waiting for?” Killian asked, catching my attention. Tears fell from my eyes before I could stop them and he frowned in confusion before shaking his head.“If I open these scrolls, everyone here dies,” I said, including him as well. I didn’t know how much of the demon blood he had, and the man frowned in confusion. “Killian, only Lia and I would be able to get out of this, and I need you to leave to be able to fight off the demon.”“You are saving me?” He asked and I rolled my eyes as he ch
Alvize:Elena’s eyes met mine and I could tell by her expression that something was going wrong. My beauty was not able to react, and that was something that I could tell. Her hand wasn’t moving despite the demon’s tight grip, and considering the fact that she was bleeding, I was surprised that she wasn’t reacting. “I said a word, Ianos.” Donatello said, glaring at the demon who laughed.“As if that means anything or has ever meant anything to me?” He asked, mocking the man who let out a low growl. He chuckled and shook his head at him. “Have you forgotten the fact that I do not give a fucking damn about a word that you say? I never have, therefore, why should I now?” He asked, glaring at him. Donatello’s eyes avoided ours as he listened to the demon who was taunting him. I had to fight back frowning at his underline meaning, and the fact that Donatello seemed to tense told me that there was a lot to the man that we didn’t know. “I believe that you chose to hide your reign of dark
Elena:“Lia, keep the key with you.” I said, and she frowned in confusion as I handed it to her. Whatever the keys were for, I didn’t want to end up losing them in front of the demon, and him seeing them, regardless of me not knowing what they were going to do, was not something that I wanted.“What if you need them?” She asked and I shook my head.“I doubt that I would with the demon. But I think that you would. If they do lock you in, or if something happens to me, use them, or try to at least. I don’t know what they are good for, but I am sure that they would be counting for something if Killian chose to give them to me.” I said and she frowned.“And you’re trusting Killian?” She asked and I shook my head.“I am not, but I don’t have a choice but to believe that something that he’s given us might come of good use. To say the least, I will hold onto the idea of him having a source of humanity somewhere.” I said and she frowned but nodded.“I’m sorry for misjudging you,” she said, ta
Alvize:“Why would we trust that you don’t mean us any harm?” I asked, shaking my head at Killian who sighed as we got out of the car. Donatello was quiet throughout most of the ride, whether it was the plane or car, and I knew that it could have been due to the reason that he was with the child of a mating of his wife.That was something that I knew he didn’t like, but he also knew that he couldn’t change the facts. The man was born, died, and was alive again. We just had to deal with the facts regardless of whether or not we liked them. Plus, there was the fact that I couldn’t find myself accepting that he was helping my mate without anything in return.“Because I never asked you to trust me. If anything, I think that you are stupid for doing so.” Killian said, looking at me. Donatello nodded at the bouncer to let us inside the club and Killian looked at him. “I believe that you are the one person who knows where the door is. You might not be talking about it, but such doors aren’t
