Killian: I watched from a distance as they performed the surgery on Elena. The window that was in the operating room gave me a full view of her, and I had to admit, I couldn’t help but admire the Russian beauty. It was only a shame that she didn’t even know what she was capable of doing, and that she was also a D’Caprio woman. Lia, the woman that I grew up loving, watched her from the window. I read the guilt in her eyes, and though I wasn’t sure whether it was toward the injured woman or toward herself. The woman should have known better than to choose a man who would not put her above everyone and everything else, but then again, I should have known that she wasn’t as wise as I thought that she was since I saw her. I looked at the watch that was in my hand as I waited for the sun to go down. They were far too stupid if they believed that I was going to let them be with the demon. To say the least, I needed to be the one to kill him. The last thing that I wanted was to be one
Alvize:“If it isn’t our favorite demon.” I said, smiling sarcastically as I entered the basement where the fucked up bastard was tied.His eyes met mine and he growled, trying to free himself from the retrains that held him in place. The steel was supposed to keep him tied until we aimed to kill him. But considering the fact that the blade was in Italy, it was going to take us a bit more time before that happened. Needless to say, he was more worthy to me alive than dead; therefore, keeping him alive for a while longer was something that I didn’t mind. Provided, of course, that he didn’t annoy me enough to kill him.“I take it that your little wolf is the one who sent you here, isn’t she?” He asked and I chuckled, shaking my head at him before I took a step forward. I knew that the man was trying to test my patience to kill him. The metal burned him, forcing him to feel the fire as it coursed through his veins, and that was a torment that he wanted to stop. To him, being dead right
Elena:My chest rose and fell with each breath that I took as I fought the pain that I felt.My head hurt despite my sleep, and though I was supposed to be unconscious, I couldn’t help but feel everything that there was around me.The beeping sounds.The voices of the doctors.Everything just played in my mind behind the closed shields that were called eyelids.“I am curious to know why you are fighting this,” I heard his voice, the Lycan’s, in my head. I opened my eyes, though I was aware that they were not open, and looked at the man who smirked. The doctors were working on my wound while I lay still and I frowned as I realized that my soul wasn’t in my body. “He is my mate, and I think that this is enough reason,” I said, taking a step toward him. The doctors scrambled around in the room and I shook my head, knowing that the Lycan was having this effect on me to ensure that we spoke. “The main question is, what are YOU gaining out of this? Surely you don’t expect me to believe tha
Alvize:“Why didn’t anyone call me?” I asked, frowning as I heard what happened to my mate. I ran toward her and took her hand in mine, feeling her pulse despite being able to hear it as I tried processing what happened. I had walked out of the basement with an amused smile despite the anger that I felt. The demon played with more fire than I thought he would, and though it was hard to keep myself controlled in front of him. However, now, the anger that I felt at my family for keeping something like this from me was one that I couldn’t describe if I tried. To say the least, I wouldn’t have expected them to leave me to tend to a demon when my mate needed me by her side. It would have given her the strength that she needed to fight if something was hurting her. But no, they decided to keep something like this from me, and that wasn’t something that I was going to be able to ignore or let go of.“The last thing that we wanted to do was distract you while you were speaking to a demon. I
Elena:“Mama?” I called, walking around my old house. The smell of food filled my nostrils. It was my mom’s famous casserole, and I couldn’t help but smile as I entered the kitchen to see her cutting onions. “Hi, baby.” She said, and I smiled as I walked toward her. I stood on the stool that was beside the counter and she leaned in to kiss the crown of my head. I looked down at the ingredients and couldn’t help but bite my bottom lip as I realized that she was making my favorite rice.“Can I please have a cookie, mama?” I asked, knowing that I wasn’t allowed to have dessert before dinner. Dad was coming back from work at any moment now, but I was still very hungry.“You and I both know the rules, princess.” Mom said, and I giggled.“But, mama, I am hungry. And I will still eat my food. You are making my most favorite thing in the world.” I said and she laughed. Little did I know that I was never going to eat that casserole to begin with.“And what would I do to you if you don’t eat
Alvize:“How the fucking hell did he manage to get out?” I asked, watching the cameras with Ezra. The security men were out of it or most probably dead. Despite us hearing their heartbeats, their eyes were wide open, and their bodies seemed to be completely frozen.“The metal should have kept him blocked inside.” Ezra said, shaking his head, “and even if he did get out, how did he not burn? The fucked bastard should have burned the second he tried moving.”“Killian,” I said, recalling my mate’s words. Ezra frowned in confusion and I nodded at him to follow me to my mate’s infirmary room. The man couldn’t have been the reason behind what happened to her. Her suffering and pain, the fucked up bastard wouldn’t have stooped as low as to harm her while being treated.Who was I fucking kidding? The man would do more than that knowing that she wouldn’t be able to fight him back.“What the fuck are you talking about?” He asked and I sighed as we entered the room.“The fucked up bastard was t
Elena:I frowned as I saw my mate walking out of the room.“He’s just angry that…”“Not everyone has to agree with him about such a point of you,” I said, stopping Ezra who nodded in understanding. “I know that he would have been more thankful if he knew what it was like to lose everything and everyone in one night.”“Why did they kick you out of the pack? Judging by what I understood, you were just a kid.” He stated and I sighed. It wasn’t something that I liked talking about nor was it something that I wanted to explain, but he was right, I was a kid.“I’m an Alpha born, the only heir of the Alpha, and it seems that I opposed a threat. Whatever it was, they wanted to get rid of it, meaning me.” I said, looking down at my lap. My heart ached as the words left my mouth and Ezra nodded in understanding. “Anyway, they just wanted to find something or more specifically, someone to throw blame on, and they threw a majority of it on me. And as a kid, I didn’t have anything to say about it.
Alvize:I woke up to Elena running her finger through my hair, her touch gentle, making my heart swell as I opened my eyes. The fact that the two of us were well aware that Ianos was here was something that neither one of us was going to deny. But the idea of him watching us seemed a lot more appealing now that we knew that he couldn’t do anything about it for a while.To say the least, I might as well give him a show while it lasted, and I was going to be sure that he and the Lycan paid for what my mate went through. However, for now, I was going to focus on her and her alone. I smiled as I looked up at her, and recalling her words, I couldn’t help but purr at the contentment that I felt.The woman, my woman, was more than willing to accept me the way that I was, broken, in pain, shattered, and angry. But she didn’t seem to care. She saw the good in me and embraced it, and to know that I had someone, just one person in my life that saw that in me was something that I was more than
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
