EzraMy wife and I ran through the hallways of the house. This mansion was huge, and needless to say, I understood what she meant by every single door here was named after her. She didn’t only mean that garden store, literally every single door was named after her. Most of the doors were locked, and only unlocked when we said Annalise. Either Killian was obsessed with the woman, or someone else had bought the house, and knowing Killian, I was sure that it wasn’t him that wanted every door to be named after the woman.The man proved to everyone that he did not like the woman. If anything, he has always tried to get rid of her, either by getting her married or by sending her on a mission that would kill her. The last of them was him knowing that she was within a relationship with the demon and yet not stopping it. How he had known and had the heart for it, I didn’t understand. However, I didn’t bother questioning it. At this point, all common sense wasn’t real, and if anything, I doubt
Lia: I looked at the woman, Annalise, who stood in front of us, shifted to a complete wolf. However she had done it. I don’t know, but I assumed that she had shifted before the moon rose. Regardless of what we told her and the facts that she knew, the woman didn’t seem to care. She was determined to lose her life here and now, and that was not something that we could allow. We at least needed this night to end without problems. Annalise had completely lost her mind, and that was something that I was sure of. Killian looked at the two of us, smirking as he watched his sister approaching. Alvize wrapped his arm around me and pulled me back from the two Lycans, not wanting me to get hurt. I knew that he needed me alive. I had to be the one to kill Killian. The blade was with me and not with Ezra, but that didn’t mean that they wouldn’t hurt my husband and that was not something that I wanted. “You heard me, Ezra D’Caprio.” Annalise said, threatening my husband. I looked at Ezra, wait
Ezra:“I didn’t want to speak in front of Lia, but what the hell happened?” I asked, frowning at my brother as we entered my office. We were back at New York’s Estate. However, I still couldn’t understand everything that we have lived through back at Rome, literally nothing made sense and that was something that I was well aware of. I didn’t even need to explain how wrong everything was to my brother, the man already knew.“I have no idea. But whatever it is, I really don’t know how this is going to lead us. Why did he drag us all the way to Rome when he could have killed her here?” Alvize asked, frowning in confusion. He was right, the two of us couldn’t understand anything that happened. Mom didn’t know what happened just yet, but I knew that when she heard, she was not going to be happy about it. I still didn’t even know how we were going to deal with Andromeda. The demon was going to put us through hell for this. And we weren’t even the reason behind her daughter’s death, but how
His eyes widened as they suddenly opened, his heart beating for the first time in weeks. That out of breath heavy one. One that he did not expect. His eyes searched around the tomb that he was in. Trying to process how he had gotten in here in the first place before his memory played back. The man had died. He was killed. He had kicked twice, but he didn’t open. Therefore, he chose to break it, punching it with a force that had it crashing on top of him. Sand fell on the man, but he didn’t care. He dug himself out, fearing that he was dead inside a tomb. In reality, he was. But he was yet to process that he came back from life, he came back from a different world, and that was something that was going to change a lot in him. He growled, getting out of the hole that he was in, taking a deep breath as he inhaled his oxygen. People who were around him, watching the scene, having initially come to visit their loved ones tried to flee. However, he didn’t really care. He stood up tryin
Lia:I walked down the aisle, by myself, looking at the man who was to be my husband in the next few minutes.His parents stood, smiling at me, clapping their hands along with the guests, believing that I was his mate. The lie that the two of us have put up to ensure that no one suspected why we were getting married. His best friend, Armando, the one person who knew of our actual plan, stood as his best man, looking at me with the best smile that he could muster.Our marriage was nothing but a deal, one for power, and one for revenge. A plan that was written on paper, or in other words, a contract.He was to get the power that he wanted, guaranteeing him being ‘The Alpha of Alphas’ and I, the revenge that I have been living, waiting, and counting the years to take.Alpha Killian, the man who has killed my parents, stood among the guests, smiling as he clapped his hands along with them. Having miraculously escaped that night, the Lycan did not know of my existence, at least, not until
Ezra:“Congratulations, Ezra.” I heard Killian say from behind me, his tone dripping with sarcasm. Lia, who was dancing with me, stiffened, and wrapping my arm around her shoulder, I squeezed it gently, wanting her to relax before turning my attention to the Lycan who was smiling at us as we turned to face him. His eyes met mine, and looking down at my arm, he raised an eyebrow but didn’t bother commenting. I knew that he, of all people, did not expect me to get married. Especially since he had asked me to marry his sister a year ago and I had rejected it, not wanting to associate with a prick like himself. And seeing as I chose to announce my ‘proposal’ to Lia around two months later, I knew that he was both surprised and annoyed because of it. But then again, we both knew that he simply wanted me to marry her to ensure that the two families were now ‘united’ by some bond. His sister, Annalise, stood by his side, looking at Lia without saying a word. I couldn’t help but notice her
Lia:I looked down at the ring in my finger as we sat in the private plane, heading back to New York City, glaring at it for a few seconds before I turned my attention to the window beside me.The wedding was at the D’Caprio Estate in Italy where the whole D’Caprio family was. It was initially supposed to be in New York City, but judging by the fact that they had their traditions of having ‘real’ weddings there, we followed them as they were. Ezra’s parents were staying back for a few days, wanting to tend to a few things. And both Armando and Madeline were going back with us.A hand on my shoulder, Ezra’s, broke my attention as he squeezed it gently. He sat on the chair in front of mine, and putting two glasses of whiskey, he pushed one toward me. I knew that he was putting on a show because Madeline and his other men were also watching, and if we were to make this work, then we were going to have to play it right. “I take it you’re trying to get me drunk tonight?” I asked, making
Ezra:“Are you sure that she would be able to get through this?” Armando asked as the two of us entered my office. Having arrived home to the Estate, Lia was upstairs in the bedroom, getting ready for the ceremony while Armando and I had work to tend to. Thankfully, she was asleep throughout most of the flight and that meant that I could get a few things done while on the way. And now, it was time to see what we missed here while we were in Italy, and though it was a needed ‘vacation’ off work, the number of things we did and people we visited and who visited us only made it a lot more exhausting. Either way, things were also done back there, and the deals that were made there made it worthwhile. “She is drawn over by revenge, and believe me, the crystal that she’s carrying with her is more dangerous than even she knows. She wants to take him down, and that is more important to me to play with.” I said, looking at Armando who shook his head at me. “Be sure to have men keeping an ey
