Andddd feelings. Hehe, I believe that you got enough of sweet before the storm, no?
Lia:“Who the fuck do you think you are to treat your mother in such a way? Is that how I raised you to be?” Ezra and I were stopped as we were walking toward the door by his father who was now raging with anger. “Hello to you too, father.” Ezra said, turning around to face him. The man’s eyes were wide in anger, and I could tell that it was taking Ezra all his patience to make sure that he was controlling himself in front of his dad. The fact that he just came to attack him the way that he did seemed more painful to me than I could admit out loud. The man didn’t even bother asking his son what happened and just came to assume that Ezra was the one mistaken.“Do not say a simple hello as if it were nothing. You are sending your mother to an exile? Because of your ‘wife’?” He looked at me as if I were some pest, and forcing myself to stay quiet and calm, I crossed my arms over my chest as I allowed Ezra to take charge of this. Interfering was going to get me nowhere, and the last thin
Ezra: I intertwined my fingers with Lia’s as the two of us walked toward an Italian restaurant. The manager opened the door for us, and I nodded in thanks, walking inside alongside my wife who I knew was still upset after what my father said. The two of us stood by in the waiting room, waiting for them to set our table. The brunch being decided on short notice, I knew to give them a chance to get things done up to quality; therefore, I chose not to comment about why they weren’t ready, especially when I called at a pre-rush hour, wanting them to get so much done. It wasn’t her fault that mom chose the path that she did, but she was blamed as if she was the one who was mistaken. The fact that she hasn’t said something about it was something that I was thankful for, and I couldn’t help but regret the fact that I initially wanted to kill her when I first saw her. “Italian breakfast?” Lia asked and I smiled. “More like a late breakfast, or brunch to be more specific. The two of
Lia:I sat on the couch, reading through my book as I waited for Ezra to come back from his mum’s room. I knew that he would need someone to comfort him after he was back, and I was determined to hold him in my arms, letting him know that I was there when he came out. It was something that I wanted to do for him, I wanted to assure him that I was there for him, and that he wasn’t alone. The fact that the two of us have decided to make our marriage a real one was more of a dream to me, and I couldn’t help but appreciate the fact that I knew that I could at least call someone family. HE was my family. I knew that his mother was angrier with me than she could have ever been, but I couldn’t be blamed for the choices that she chose to make. Ezra tried to get her to admit, he tried to get her to speak. He even wanted to make the job easier on the two of them, not wanting to embarrass her, but she chose to be stubborn. And knowing Ezra, at least, for the short period of time that we were t
Ezra:“How did you know that I was looking for the Dragon’s Eye?” I asked mom, glaring daggers at her. She raised an eyebrow at me and shook her head, her eyes meeting mine as she challenged me.“You have been asked not to look for the thing. There was a reason why we asked you to be Killian’s partner, but it seems like you are literally in the mood to get yourself killed.” Mom said, not answering the question. “One of the main conditions was not to interfere in something that you couldn’t handle or deal with. Do you realize that Killian could kill you in seconds…”“You are not answering the question, mother.” I said, glaring at her. She looked down at her lap, trying to avoid answering again, but I shook my head in question, waiting for her response. “I always knew that you were still searching, and though I never really understood your reason, I chose to allow you to take charge of things. After reading, I quickly understood that you were trying to get rid of your nemesis, Killian.
Lia:My heart dropped to my chest as I heard the number of bullets that were fired.The smell of blood filled my nostrils, and I closed my eyes, avoiding looking at the bodies of men and women that hit the ground as they took their last breaths.Ezra, who was in the center, watching them as they fell, didn’t say a word. He turned around to face me, and I dared look behind him at the bodies that fell. His mum who was sitting on a chair, cried as she watched the result of her actions. I knew that the vision of the bodies would remain in my head, but I also knew that it was needed to ensure the pack’s safety. If anyone found out about this, ignoring the fact that those who have betrayed could have hurt the pack itself from the inside, others would have tried to dare do something similar, and that is something that I knew Ezra couldn’t risk living through.He nodded at me, allowing me to go inside, but I shook my head, letting him know that I was there for him.Having a public execution
Ezra: “You do know that I am not going to hurt you, right?” I asked Lia, breaking the silence between us. It has been almost an hour since we left the house, and Lia has been quiet since. “I am aware, but I figured that you would need to calm down a bit and I chose to give you your space before saying anything.” She said, looking at me. “I am fine, I just needed time to actually process what happened.” I said, and Lia nodded. I took her hand in mine, gently squeezing it as she intertwined our fingers. “Your parents are going to hate me, you do know that?” She asked and I chuckled, shaking my head. “No, they won’t. They chose to cross their limits, and as their Alpha, I was forced to put them in place. My respect for them as my parents is something that I will never deny, but that doesn’t mean that they have the right to think that they can think that they are allowed to use that against me as Alpha. It is something that I cannot allow as it would mean that I would easily forgi
Lia: My chest ached, and my heart raced. His scent filled my nostrils, and despite the pain that I was in, my body forced me to wake up. I opened my eyes, a gasp escaping my mouth before I could stop it when I saw Killian grabbing my hand. His eyes darkening when he realized that I was awake, his grip tight around my wrist as he went to stop me. The man knew for fact that this was one of the pieces that could easily kill him, and that was exactly the reason why he killed my parents and I was on the constant run from him. Alone, the eye couldn’t kill him, but I didn’t know where the last ornaments were and that was one of the reasons why I needed Ezra’s help when I first married him. Ignoring the pain on my back and head, I wrapped my hand around his wrist, stopping him as I bared my canines, giving him my warning. “Now, now, Lia Arnesto.” He said, his tone darkening as he used my real last name, the name that I was forced to keep secret for years now. Him saying and calling
Ezra:I frowned at Lia’s words before processing the fact that she had burnt her wrist to break the cuffs. Her eyes were fixed on mine, and it wasn’t until mom walked toward her, wrapping her arms around her shoulders, pushing her to sit on the bed that I snapped out of the sudden daze that I was in. “Lia, what do you mean that Killian was the one that did this?” Mom asked, looking at Lia whose eyes dropped to her lap. “I never said that it was Killian who did it. I said, if anyone did anything, it was not my parents. He came to us one night and brought the Dragon’s Eye, despite being sixteen at the time, I was my father’s only heir, and a threat to Killian.” Lia said, looking at mom. “My existence itself was a threat to Killian, and hence why I was always hidden from him. He saw me once and believed that I was a maid, at least, that was what we told him. One of the reasons why he stopped my mother from giving birth, poisoning her whenever she grew pregnant was a story or more spec
