Elena:“Where are we going?” I asked Ezra who was the one person who had the energy to talk.Whereas I couldn’t blame Alvize and Killian for what they felt at Maria’s behavior with them, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the woman who seemed to genuinely want to protect her kids. And the fact that I was actually forced to deal with the Lycan for more time than necessary was something that I didn’t want.The anger that I felt toward him for killing my best friend was one that I would not be ignoring or forgetting anytime soon. The man not only killed him, but he tormented him before that happened, and that was something that tore me apart on the inside. And I knew for fucking fact that he saw and understood it. The plane landed at Rome around half an hour ago, and though it’s been hours since things happened at the Estate, neither one of the men spoke about it.“We are going to the Estate, it is where most of the ornaments to kill such demons are there.” He said, nodding at Killian.
Alvize:I wrapped my arm around my mate who smiled as she lay her head on my chest. Her heartbeat was calm despite the tension that was in the air. And I knew that she was trying to manage herself enough not to do something that we would all regret right now.Plus, she knew deep down that I wouldn’t let her do anything that would risk her life or safety. What we were doing was more than enough for me to handle or accept. It was something that I would have been against usually, but considering the circumstances, I was forced to accept it. The two of us looked at one another before I kissed her forehead. She purred in response and I couldn't help but smile.“The last time I’ve been here was when we killed Killian.” I said and Elena shook her head as a small smile formed on her lips. She looked at Killian who rolled his eyes as he heard my words. They were true though, the man and his sister were brought to their knees here. And that was something that left a major impact on us.“I am s
Elena:“Are you okay?” I asked Killian, walking toward him as Alvize and Ezra entered the vault. It seemed that no one aside from the D’Caprio family was allowed to enter, and considering the fact that I was neither Alvize’s official mate or his wife, I wasn’t allowed in. “I don’t remember when was the last time anyone asked me such a question, but the last thing that I expected was for you to be the one who asked. “Why not?” I asked as I looked up at the picture of Maria and Donatello. Maria looked sad in the picture despite the smile on her face, and though it was a drawing, I knew that the illustrator did their best to draw it as it was in reality.“You, like everyone else, might just want me dead.” He stated, shrugging his shoulders as he crossed his arms over his chest. I could read the defeat in his tone and body language, and despite him being right, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the Lycan.“I do,” I said and he frowned. “But that doesn’t mean that I am not human inside.
Alvize:I kept my arm wrapped around my mate whose heart raced as she took sight of the demon figure getting out of whatever hole that was. Low growls echoed around us, causing a stir within the family and the pack who were now frightened despite not being able to approach. The door seemed to be locked, blocking them from the outside, and I could feel my pack members outside, trying to break through with them. The demon’s eyes were fixed on my mate, and I couldn’t help the low growl that escaped my chest before I could stop it, not wanting him to think of harming her. I knew that he would if he wanted to, but that wasn’t something that I wanted. “Growl all you want, wolf.” He said, his voice menacingly low. Elena’s eyes were wide in surprise as he took in what was going on, trying to allow herself the time to process that he was indeed the demon that she had been searching for. My wolf grew more anxious, feeling the danger that we were in, and it was one that neither one of us want
Elena:I frowned when I opened my eyes to find myself lying on a rocky floor.Lia was a few meters away from me and the smell of blood made me frown before I rushed to her side, wanting to check on her.Her eyes were closed and I shook my head as I tried lifting her, wanting to check where the blood source was from. It was from her shoulder. “You are hurting me, Elena.” She said as she opened her eyes. I let out a breath that I didn’t realize that I was holding before letting her sit up to look at me. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine, are you?” I asked and she nodded as the two of us looked around what seemed like some dungeon. Footsteps could be heard from a distance and I couldn’t help but frown as I took in one of the creatures who stood by the door, looking at us. He had three eyes, his tongue moved toward us as he hissed, his back arched, and his teeth bare. His tail moved left to right, and I couldn’t help but frown at the sight of his eyes moving the way that they did.“Where the he
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
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: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
