Ezra:“So, how are we going to deal with Killian?”“The two of us are out for a late breakfast, and here you are, worried about Killian?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at Lia who sighed. “You need to relax, okay? We will deal with him when the time comes, but for now, we need the man alive. Killing him will be too easy, and I don’t think that you want to give him an easy death.” I took a bite of the egg that I was eating, and looked at Lia who shook her head at me. “How can you be so calm about this? I don’t know what your issue is with Killian, but…”“Sometimes, Lia, you need to learn how to be very patient with your enemy. The two of us have been rivals for years now, but having a Lycan by my side, as my partner, has always come to my benefit. For now, he will stay alive, and he will somehow suffer the consequences of his actions; but when the time is right, the man will rot in the hell that we will be creating for him.” I said, putting the fork down. Lia studied my expression for a
Lia:“So, the two of us met at a bar, got drunk, and it was happily ever after?” I asked, shaking my head at Ezra who smirked as he drove.“Well, unless it’s a bar, it’s a club, and getting drunk with a random woman at a club is not something that I do.” Ezra said, shrugging his shoulders. The two of us were planning a proper story on how we both met in case we were asked. The fact that we announced our ‘sudden’ engagement a month ago, and claimed that we’ve been dating in secret for a while was something that many found shocking, and despite his parents also being curious about it, I was thankful that they never bothered with asking too many questions.“And you would be getting drunk with a random woman at a bar?”“I would invite her for a drink, and then might get drunk with her if she’s beautiful. So, yes, that is a plausible explanation.” I couldn’t help but blush at his choice of words, and looking out the window, I had to fight back the smile that formed on my lips as my wolf gr
Ezra:I walked out of the elevator to see Armando waiting for me in the lobby. The two of us had a meeting to attend, and we usually tended to enter together. Me, being boss, and him, my best friend and right hand. It was a protocol that we silently founded. It was how we grew, and how everyone around us saw us living, and thankfully, we both never wanted that to change. It was a blessing that we were both grateful for.“Any luck?” I asked, not bothering to greet the man. He knew that it wasn’t needed, especially considering the fact that we were together a while before I left. He shook his head, and I had to fight back a growl of annoyance, knowing that humans were around as I waited for what he had to say.“We searched the whole room. The only place we couldn’t unlock, is her jewelry box. The woman either has the crystal with her, or she’s keeping it inside that thing.” Armando answered, making me curse under my breath. “And before you ask, we did try to unlock the box, only it’s lo
Lia: We entered the dark room of lasers and music. The disco light was what illuminated the area, along with a few spotlights here and there and the DJ who was dancing like there was no tomorrow. Girls danced by the door, bouncers watched as they made sure that no one who was underage entered. The smells of alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, sex, and sweat filled the air. Music blasted through the gates as we walked through an empty hall before taking a turn where instead of bouncers, there were bodyguards standing. They nodded at Ezra before allowing us to pass, knowing that he was their boss. And walking up the stairs, the two of us were well aware that we were the center of attention of most of those who were around. The music wasn’t as loud at the VVIP lounge, thankfully, otherwise, I knew that I would have gotten a headache afterwards, especially since I knew that I was going to be required to stay on the same table as Killian. Had it been a different situation, I would have been
Ezra: I looked at Lia who was starting to interact with the other women. The women stared at her, clearly jealous of her behavior, and how I treated her. It was something that each one of them wanted with her husband but couldn’t have. It was something that I gave Lia simply because I wanted to prove a point, and moreover, I knew that I was times and times stronger than she will ever be; therefore, taking that to my advantage would not make me the man that I want to be. “You seem to be giving your wife a little too much freedom for a woman that you barely met months ago, not to mention the fact that you just married her.” Leon, one of my partners, started, raising an eyebrow at me. I rolled my eyes and took a sip of my scotch before looking him dead in the eye. “I do not think that it concerns you, does it?” I asked, waiting for him to say anything against that. The man shied back in his seat, and nodding, I turned to look at the men who were currently enjoying themselves. The wo
Lia: “Stay still.” I said, looking Ezra in the eye as he flinched, trying to remove his hand when I applied alcohol on it, wanting to clean it. “I don’t understand why you’re making a big deal out of something that would literally heal in a few hours.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow, daring him to say anything else. The man shook his head at me, and tensed when I reached one of the deepest of the cuts. How he had managed to get them by just punching the man, I didn’t know, but at this point, I wasn’t going to ask. “I’m going to cover it for you so you don’t stain the sheets. Yes, in theory, they would be healing, but the two of us are going to bed, and the last thing you need is blood on the sheets. Plus, there is the fact that I don’t want it getting infected.” I said, throwing the cotton swab that I was using in the bin before getting ointment, and a bandage. “What did he say to tick you off as much as he did?” “Don’t think too much about it, you don’t need to worry.” Ezra sai
Ezra: I watched as Lia’s chest rose and fell as she slept before slowly getting out of bed. Armando, who was still searching for the keys at home, called, waking me up. Thankfully, Lia didn’t wake up. I hung up and chose to text him instead, calling at this point would only mean that she could hear me talking if she woke up. The keys are not in the house, Alpha, or if they are, we can’t seem to find them anywhere. The woman hid them well, and we searched all her clothes too. -Armando. I had to fight back letting a low growl as I read through the message, and turning to look at Lia, I shook my head. The woman was naked in front of me, therefore, I knew that the keys weren’t hidden anywhere. They weren’t in her pants’ pockets, and I had checked her bag earlier, it wasn’t there. Therefore, I didn’t know where she would be hiding them. Find a way to get someone to unlock the key locks without breaking them. I will try to find the keys my way. I sent the text and deleted it as I hear
Lia: We entered a grand room at a hotel where the girls were getting dressed. “I’ll trust you with this?” Ezra asked, and I nodded, looking at each one of them as she stood wearing a dress. The girls had makeup on their faces, one that I would be removing later as I fixed their outfits. I didn’t want them to look too extravagant, but I would be sure that they looked so beautiful that those who saw them couldn’t take their eyes off of them. “Don’t worry about it. It might take a while, but I will do my best to get it done.” I said, and checking his watch, he nodded. “It’s eleven in the morning, and I need them to be ready at eight, think you can manage?” He asked, and looking at them one more time, I nodded. I was going to be putting both my life and soul in this, but I knew that I would be needing help to go about it as fast as he needed me to be. “I’ll do my best, but if I need help, can…?” “I’ll send over a few girls to help you out. There are two inside, and I’ll send three
