Chapter 6Amara PriestPOVI bow my head… “I’m sorry but it doesn’t seem like I’ll be able to make it to my interview…” I apologize to Liv.She shakes her head. “It’s fine. I’ve been reading the news I know what’s going on. Focus on your family…” she says.I nod. We were video calling, I decided to let her know I won’t be able to be in LA for my interview next week. By the time I made it to Damien’s apartment he was already taken away by the police, and someone tipped off the media so his face was plastered all over the news on how he was arrested for murder.“We’ve already decided to hire you. That being said since you’re a part of the team we’ll help you just this once…” she says before hanging up.I frown. What did she mean by that.=============Rowan PriestPOVI step out of the police station. They won’t let our lawyers or any of us see my brother.The police are insistent not to be of any help to us. What the fuck is their fucking problem. They weren’t this helpful when there w

Chapter 7Rowan PriestPOVI’ve always known life was full of unforeseen events, life would take you places you’ve never imagined possible. Like if you told me a year ago, I’d be happily married with a baby on the way I would have thought you were pulling my leg. I probably shot you in the head for messing with me. But here I was happily married ready to preach the gospel to everyone who would listen about how happy I am.Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever been this this happy in my entire life. Grace is spending the day with my mother today. They’re going baby shopping.They’re shopping for baby clothes. I’m sure it’s my mother’s way of trying to find out the gender and knowing my wife my mother’s going to know in the first five seconds.I smile just thinking about it. She’s going to feel so bad for caving so soon. But I know Grace well enough to know we weren’t going to be able to keep it a secret from our family for very long.After the shooting two weeks ago, Grace has been in stat

Chapter 8One week laterDamien PriestPOVI run my fingers through my hair and look at Amara and Grace go on and on about this new hair shampoo they’re using. To be honest I don’t see the difference they’re speaking about.We’re having lunch at my apartment. apparently, we’re celebrating Amara getting a job. I didn’t even know she was job hunting. Though we’re not close enough to be called a married couple. We do our best to avoid one another when we’re alone.I look over at Rowan, he’s not paying attention to what they’re saying but his watching his wife lovingly. Should I be doing the same? Should I look at Amara like she hung the stars and the moon?If I’m being completely honest with myself, I don’t think I’ve seen my brother this happy ever. Not even with that witch who shall not be named. She got what she deserved, and her death isn’t on anyone but herself. Run my fingers through my hair once more. Rowan looks over me and nods toward my office.I stand and make my way over to

Chapter 9Damien PriestPOVGunner is one of my best friends. Well, we’re not really friends, but we work well together. He’s like my work friend. It’s worrying me that a man glued to his phone is not answering it. He’s either got a girl over or somethings happened to him.While Rowan and I file into the car and leave the girls with their guards, the drive in the car with Andre still feels awkward. I haven’t gotten over the shit Angie did. Andre isn’t at fault; I just feel bad that his entire family had to die because of her. Her parents died because of her.I get why Andre didn’t mourn her; she was pure evil.I look over at my brother typing away on his phone. “Dad’s on his way over to your apartment to watch over the girls.” Rowan says.I nod. When we reach Gunner’s apartment. I frown. I didn’t know he stayed in Brooklyn.I walk after my brother. I may be paranoid, but it feels like someone is watching us. I pause and look around.I don’t see anything and walk in after my brother.“

Chapter 10Amara PriestPOVI feel like sheep being led by the Shepard. Grace and I were led out of the house with at least one hundred men guarding us from what I don’t know… But Austin protecting us means something’s happened.Something must have happened and the little head they received must have been a warning for more to come.Grace and I are sitting in her old room. She’s watching tv. I would love nothing more than to watch it with my older sister. I love soaking in all the moments we didn’t get as kids. But right now. I want nothing more than to be involved in whatever is happening.One thing I hate more than anything is being left out and I’m sure this will be a way to protect Grace as well.I am thinking about the deadline Rowan gave me; I should book a meeting with my parents. They’re back in Chicago. I don’t know how safe it’s for them to travel, so I should probably do this over video call.“Do you think I could borrow your laptop to call my parents?” I ask her.She nods.

Chapter 11Rowan PriestPOVDamien and I stand side by side in the vault. We look at one another and nod. We were about to do something insane, and it was going to be a long damn night. I was already drained by what is to come.We place our thumbs on the scanner and look into the mirror.{Fingerprint recognition in progress don’t remove your hand until it’s complete}It takes a minute. For us to hear the ding…The door opens and Damien and I walk into the room. The door shuts once we’re in. and I’m surrounded by darkness.“Lights Den” I say.{Voice recognition In Progress. Light’s will be on shortly Master Slade}The system it’s a few seconds and the lights switch on.“Den down to the control room.” Damien orders.{Voice recognition. Good day Young Master Demon King…}I refrain from rolling my eyes at my brother’s ridiculous username.The doors open and we step into the elevator. This place is meant for Damien and me alone. That’s why the support is upstairs in the safe room.Once Dam

Chapter 12 – One week later.Amara PriestPOVSitting at Damien’s desk trying to get some work done. Liv asked me to get a job at a small café. I don’t know why yet, she told me to get the job first then she’ll let me know what my job is. So, I’m trying to do as much research as I possibly can.I hated the idea of going in blindly. I did as much research on the owner and news reports, but I found nothing. Is this some sort of test maybe?My phone rings, I look up from my laptop and see Damien’s name flash across the screen.“Uhm did you mean to call me?” I answer the call still surprised he called me; I honestly think accidentally called me.After all the shit that’s going on we’ve barely spoken two words to each other. Honestly, it wasn’t what I was expecting when we first got married. I thought we’d argue every chance we got, but with everything going on we barely have time for one another. Yet alone argue.We’ve been married for so long I don’t know a single thing about my husband

Chapter 13 Grace PriestPOVToday, Sandra, Amara and I went to the mall to a little bit of shopping with everything that happened last night, Rowan said he needed the day, he went fishing with Damien.I don’t even know if those two can fish, I’ve read somewhere that most people go fishing to clear their minds. Maybe it would do him some good.“How is Rowan doing?” Sandra asks.We were waiting in the restaurant for Amara she’s gone to the restroom, we’ve ordered for her, she said she wouldn’t be long.“He was fine this morning…” I tell her.I take out my phone and I send Rowan a text letting him know I’m okay.“I’m sorry things got out of line last night…” she apologizes.I shake my head. “Rowan was out of line for speaking to you and dad that way…” I hate going against Rowan, but he didn’t have to react the way he did.She shakes her head. “No, we were at fault for keeping it from him. Rowan has always hated lies and keeping this from him was wrong…”I sigh placing my hand on hers an
