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
Ezra: I entered my office with a heavy heart, anticipating what I was going to hear. The fear that I had about not accepting or accepting, understanding, or at least, relating to what I was going to hear was not something that I expected. MY reaction was not one that I was going to be expecting in such short notice. I could hear mom approaching, and the funny part was that I could hear Alvize by her side. Why she brought him here, I didn’t know, but the man also deserved to hear what she had to say. The man deserved to know the reasons behind what he has been through clearly. His mother, the woman who gave birth to him, chose to give him up while she chose to keep his twin brother. “What are you going to tell me now?” Alvize asked, shaking his head at mom whose eyes avoided his eyes. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to face the man, no person would have been able to do so after what she had done, but she knew that it had to be done. The man deserved this. “You two deserve to kno
Lia:I woke up, taking a deep breath as I tried to calm myself from the bad dream that I had.It was one where Killian was chasing me, shifted in full wolf form, as he got ready to attack me. He stood on two feet, ready to attack before I woke up. My heart raced against my chest as I ran my fingers through my hair. Tears fell from my eyes as I looked down at the cut that I had on my arm. However, the eerie feeling of not being alone in the room made me hold my breath.I couldn’t catch a scent, nor could I see, or hear anyone. But I could tell that something was wrong, and that someone was watching me, I just couldn’t see where they were. I looked around, trying to see anything, but nothing, no one was here. However, someone was, I just didn’t know how to get on with it, nor did I know how to see it.I forced myself to get out of bed only for my heart to drop when a hand was placed on my mouth and nose, stopping me from saying a word. A gun’s tip pressed against my lower back, making
Ezra: I frowned at the sight of the room when I walked inside to see the amount of blood that was on the floor. The nurse who was in charge of making sure that Derek was safe along with the man who I had assigned to keep him alive and safe were both lying dead on the floor. And looking at Derek, I cursed under my breath when I saw that the man was slaughtered. A knife was placed beside it, and a note on top of the dresser. Blood was on the piece of paper, but Killian didn’t care, I knew for fact that he didn’t. -I do suggest that you start sleeping with one open eye from now on, Ezra. I took the paper and knife in my head, frowning as a low growl of anger escaped my chest before I could stop myself. I tried processing how it was possible for him to even enter the house without me catching his scent and I couldn’t help that formed on my face when I realized that mom took us to the office as we talked. The fact that she did it right when it happened couldn’t have been a coincidence.
Lia:“You know that I mean neither of you any harm, Lia.” Alvize said, taking me back to the room, noticing that I was giving him the complete silent treatment.He had them lock Madeline in a room while Ezra was being tended to, and I was still annoyed at him for the way he spoke to me. “You are not one to speak to me right now.” I said, looking at the bed that now just looked like some cage for me. I sat on the couch and he sat beside me, not saying a word. “What are you doing?”“You told me not to speak to you. So, I am simply keeping you company until Ezra can come back to deal with his beast of a wife.” He said, and I glared at him. “Lighten up, the man is stronger than a small knife. My only reason for having the doctors take him was for you not to have a panic attack.”“Yeah, as if that is the only thing that would give me a panic attack at the moment.” I said, rolling my eyes at him. “What the hell happened?”“The girl, whoever it is, was sitting by the room. I am guessing who
Ezra: I opened my eyes to find Lia sleeping on the couch beside the hospital bed that I was laying on. I frowned at the sight but couldn’t get up due to the fresh wound. Though that didn’t mean that I didn’t try. Neither me or my wolf liked seeing our mate sleeping on the couch the way that she was. My heart raced against my chest and I had to fight back hissing in pain as the effects of the painkillers died down. The door was opened slowly, revealing a nurse who rushed into the room. I shook my head at her, not wanting her to wake my wife who slept while sitting. She lay her head on the armrest, and didn’t even have a blanket, meaning that she dozed off out of exhaustion. The nurse nodded and walked to the closet. She slowly pulled out a blanket and placed it over my wife’s curled up body, fearing waking her up if she tried to move her to lay in a more comfortable position. She walked toward me and put her hand on my neck, checking my body’s temperature before she nodded. “I wi
Lia:“Are you okay, neonata?” Ezra asked me, breaking my train of thoughts. In truth, I wasn’t, but I didn’t understand the reason behind it. But I was feeling lost, fatigued, and tired. “I am a little tired. It could be the long days that we’ve been living through.” I said, and he nodded, wrapping his arm around me as he pulled me to his chest.It has been two days since he was stabbed by Maddie, and he is now back in the room. “You haven’t been yourself since coming back home, Lia.” He whispered and my chest ached. He was right. I could barely breathe normally let alone speak or interact with the family. The fear that I was feeling was one that I couldn’t recall having before. And the pain that I was feeling was one that I knew was because of rejecting Killian made me feel more guilty toward Ezra.The thing was, I knew that I wanted to kill the man, and that would have been a lot easier for my sake. But to know that I was in pain because of rejecting the man. Well, that was somet
Ezra: I took a deep breath before walking to the basement where Madeline was sitting, locked up. Her eyes met mine, and she smiled, her smile devious, making my heart ache. The woman who I considered as more than just a sister. The woman who I thought would support me through thick and thin was the woman who was betraying me. Alvize wanted to enter the basement with me, but with Maddie, the woman was more of a sister to me, someone who I grew to cherish throughout my entire life. Believing that she did what Alvize said was hard enough for me, but I had no other option. The cameras were rigged, and the fact that the man entered the house without being caught was another thing that did not slip my mind. Her presence itself was one that I was failing to catch though I was well aware of her presence in the house. “Ezra.” She said, giving me a cold smile which I couldn’t find myself returning. The woman was smiling to taunt me, it was something that I knew very well, but I wasn’t going
