Annalise: I stared at the man who called himself my brother as he sat on the dining table with the woman who wanted nothing to do with him. The woman was making it obvious that not only did she resent him, but she also disrespected his very existence, and yet, here he was begging for her attention. I shook my head before taking a step back to walk out of the house. The man wasn’t even related to me for me to care about him. And whether or not he knew about it, I was thankful for my lover, my Ian, who told me about it. “Annalise, is there anything that you need us doing for you?” Derek, my brother’s puppy, or as he called him, his beta, asked. I turned to face him and shook my head. “I am heading to the cemetery to see my parents.” I said, and he frowned in confusion. “Annalise, you have been going there almost every day now. I doubt that it is healthy for you to keep doing so.” He said, his tone softening before he took a step toward me. His eyes were gentle as he put his fing
Ezra:“Did you find her?” I asked Kyle, one of my men who was sent to the cemetery to find Annalise.“Boss, this woman is sick.” Kyle said through the phone, making me frown in confusion. I didn’t know what he was seeing as I was still at home. The doctors have begged me to stay the night at home and not go out, at least, until my body regained a little more strength, but that didn’t mean that I didn’t start working.“What’s going on?”“Alpha, we need to find her somewhere else.” He said, his voice now sounding panicked as he ran. His footsteps could be heard despite him not even speaking, but it wasn’t long until I heard him wailing out in pain making me frown in confusion. A sound of gurgling could be heard through the phone, before a thud was heard as if something was dropped.“Kyle?” I asked, frowning in confusion. Voices could be heard around him, and a woman screaming was heard in the distance, but the man did not respond. “Erik, trace the call, and I want a scan on any nearby c
Lia: I sat, crossing my arms over my chest as I glared at the Lycan who was surely losing his mind. He couldn’t be sane enough to actually expect me to accept anything that he wanted to tell me right now. The man had to be mad, or losing it, there was no way around that, I was one hundred percent sure of that. The fact that he still had a dining table ready at dawn, scaring the maids who wanted to initially remove it hours ago, watching as I sat in front of him without extending a hand to eat. He had the girls coming every half hour to light up a new candle based on his order to keep the food warm, and still, I didn’t bother extending my hand or even looking at the food. His eyes met mine and he extended his hand toward the food, making me laugh at his lame tenth attempt. The man knew that I wouldn’t be eating anything, but he also knew better than to do anything that he WOULD end up regretting, especially since he was pretty much trying to get on good terms. “I am not going to eat
Ezra:“Let me GO!” Annalise yelled and I raised an eyebrow. I leaned against the table, looking at the woman whose eyes were wide as if in pain. The woman has been screaming since she opened her eyes two hours ago, and her voice simply grew louder by the minute to the point that I was surprised that she wasn’t tired already. “Annalise, the man was hurting you out there. Have you see how injured you are or have you gone blind?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at the woman. The men who were in the room with me frowned at her behavior. The woman seemed to be possessed, and that was something that I couldn’t understand. If she was, how did Killian not notice.“I was NOT hurt, I am…”“Annalise, Ianos was going to kill you.” I said, stopping her. “The demon was going to fucking kill you after he was done with you, and after he’s gotten what he wanted.”“I was to be the mother of his child, the queen of demons and Lycans.” She said, and I laughed shaking my head at her. I carefully approached h
Killian: “How is it possible for Ezra to survive?” I asked Derek, growing angrier as I paced, watching as the security men tried tracing any of the cameras that were near the area. Just a small hint of who was there or how things happened for me to know how they did. The fact that I couldn’t feel or hear their presence behind me was something that I couldn’t understand. The man was supposed to be dead. The main point of having him trapped inside the car when it exploded was for him to die inside it, breaking the bond, and breaking his presence completely. The man was not dead, and now my mate, the woman who I was willing to break the world for, had something to hold on to, something that was NOT our bond. “I don’t know, boss, but somehow he managed to get out, and…” “It is impossible for him to just get out. The man was STUCK and out conscious inside the car. It is impossible for him to easily wake up and just get out. I was fucking there when the car exploded before we drove off
Lia: “What are you going to do, Lia?” I asked myself as I walked around the room. Trying to clear my thoughts, or more specifically, trying to at least gather them, understand what was happening. Anything that could explain the situation that we were in right now would be good for me. But so far, nothing. Not a single thing made sense to me. The man was mad, and even Ezra’s attempt in having him submit did not work. But I had to admit as well, Killian was right in his question, who was the person who stopped to help Ezra? I was sure that we weren’t followed by any other car, the driver would have caught it, right? He caught the first car, at least. And if that was the case and we really were followed, why didn’t they stop to help me? Why let Killian take me the way that they did? There were a number of contradictions that ran through my mind as I tried to at least understand what was going on, but nothing made sense. If anything, I knew that something was going on, and whatever it i
Ezra:I sat on the couch as I tried to process what I was hearing.The man couldn’t be serious, my parents couldn’t have done all this.“What do you mean that you were sent to Russia on the day that you were born?” I asked, shaking my head at the man whose eyes were as cold as ice. “WHAT THE FUCK DOES HE MEAN?”I knew that I couldn’t blame him. If anything, the man was the victim here. He was deprived of having HIS own family, his pack, his home. He was just sent away when he needed them most as if he was nothing. And the worst part about it, was that over the years, no one, not a single soul ever mentioned his existence. It was like the man wasn’t there or they didn’t feel guilty at least, about it. “You don’t need to be surprised, Ezra. For a person who had a Lycan son, who has also been given up on, I am surprised that you are still surprised about me.” Alvize said, stopping me. I had to fight back growling at the man whose eyes were fixed on our parents. The odd and scary part ab
Lia: My heart raced as I looked at the nurse who was cleaning and stitching my cuts. My hand shook, and had it not been Ezra who was holding my arm still, I knew that the nurse wouldn’t have been able to do her job. But the fear that I had was one that prevented me from being able to think properly or straight, if anything, I knew that my mind was anywhere but here. “Lia, you are safe.” Ezra said, repeating the sentence again, noticing my fear. I knew that he was trying to assure me, but the traumatic experience was one that I did not want to face again. The Lycan nearly killed us had it not been for Derek who shot his arm despite the fact that Killian shoved his hand in his chest. How he survived it, I had no idea, but seeing as he was still in the surgery room, I grew more anxious by the second. Flashback: We ran, ignoring the screams of people who were around us, the cop sirens, and the Lycan who was growling. We thought that entering the city would keep us safe from him, but
