✧༝┉˚❋Lucian Montague❋˚┉༝✧I slept for a really long time. I know this because the sun was out when I came too. My body must have been tired from the mental mess of yesterday. I was in my bed shockingly. Which surprised me. I smell like crap, but I didn’t want to have to call my unhappy caretaker. For some reason, he seemed a bit jittery. Like he’d been spooked. Perhaps he’s reeling from what happened last night.Ugh, I told him to kiss me.Why did I do that? What imaginary liquor did I take? Look at me, I’m paying the price for it now. I patted my stomach. I’ve still got my abs. I knocked on my head, empty as fuck. Ahhh. What is my fucking problem?I can’t tell Ben or Lionel. They’d spread that news like wildfire, and I would never be happy again in my life.I knocked on my head again, I swear I could hear the echoes of past mistakes, and worthless decisions bouncing back and forth. If this place was full then perhaps I would not have said something so stupid.I’m glad he didn’t do it
»»───ஓ๑♥Percival Whitmore♥๑ஓ────««When I heard Lucian’s call, I knew immediately what the problem was. I’d tried getting in touch with my father last night, after what happened. My heart sank, and a wave of unease washed over me as my mind flashed back to those people I saw that night—the ones lurking in the shadows, the ones who seemed to watch with malicious intent. I didn’t need him to explain anything; the fear in his voice told me everything I needed to know. Whatever was happening now, it wasn’t good. I swallowed down whatever pride or hesitation I might’ve had and rushed to help him through the shower.Seeing him like this—vulnerable and shaken—made my chest tighten in a way I wasn’t expecting. Lucian was always so composed, always so sure of himself, even in the worst situations. And I should know, I am in those worst situations for him. But now, there was something in his eyes I had never seen before: fear. Genuine, bone-deep fear. He kept glancing nervously at the window, h
»»────ஓ๑♥Percival Whitmore♥๑ஓ ──────««After the check-up, Lucian slept for a really long time. My father didn’t call me back for another few hours, which only served to anger me. When he finally did he had the nerve to sound upset.“What do you want, Percy?”“Don’t make me angry at you. You failed me as a father, and now you’re failing your stepson. Way to go, Yusuke. The award for worst father and worst stepfather goes to you.”He growled into the phone. “How did I fail him?”“The people who hurt him showed up at the house.”A woman screaming could be heard. Then the speaker made scratching sounds, I had to pull the phone away from my ear briefly. “Come again? Those people came for my son. Oh god, oh my god. Percy, you stay with Lucian, I am going to call Ben’s father and we will have you both sent to a safe house. No contact with anyone. In fact, we’ll take your phones to ensure that your only communication is through laptops or computers. But nothing that they can use to track you
✧༝┉˚❋Lucian Montague❋˚┉༝✧I’m not sure why I felt like something was wrong. Perhaps it was the fact that I woke up in a strange room with my mother and Percy having a heated conversation. I really can’t tell you what it is, but I feel like something is different.My medicine is stronger. Really really strong. I tried to sit up but I couldn’t really move. The parts of me that I thought were working weren’t.I started to panic, and that was when my ears picked on the argument.“Why can’t I sleep on the floor in the hallway?”“I can’t let that happen. All your rage, all your anger, and hatred towards the world, Percy those make you strong. And that strength is needed to protect Lucian. I need you very close. You can sleep on the carpet by the bed, or on the bed. You’re brothers you can share a bed, it’s not weird.”My heart which had begun to race, got even faster. What? What? What? A bed? With Percy? Not weird?“What the fuck?” I said out loud. Both of them turned their heads to me. Loo
✧༝┉˚❋Lucian Montague❋˚┉༝✧The first night sharing a bed with my sworn enemy was.... I have no words I’m still living through it. Just three hours ago I had dinner with the family, that is what the hell looks like. It was awkward, even more, awkward than it was when I was in high school and Percy had learned how to swear at me in my native language. Which just shows his devotion to hating me.My mother’s food had been nice, but she kept looking at Percy and Yusuke. I know it has something to do with the way Percy killed those men. They seem shaken by it, I didn’t see so I’m only observing their frightful behavior. Although they know better than to show their fear in front of him.So they bottled it and made everything really awkward. After dinner, Percy helped me to the elevator, his movements careful but brisk, like he was holding back a flood of emotions. The ride to the floor where we’d be sleeping was quiet, the hum of the elevator amplifying the weight of his silence. Once we arri
»»─────ஓ๑♥Percival Whitmore♥๑ஓ──────««Enemies with benefits.... what the fuck?I asked as I sat on the bed the very next morning, having had no sleep and feeling even more enraged. Sure, we’ll be stuck here, but why did I say yes? I can’t make nice with this guy. I moved off the bed, not bothering to be quiet about it. I know he didn’t sleep. For once, the drugs didn’t work, and he was wide awake. Eyes followed me as I went straight for the bathroom to brush my teeth. I think our parents are already out without telling us.It’s not unusual. What they claim to be doing is very unusual. They have found nothing on the people who attacked Lucian. And where the hell are they even staying?Now for the kicker, what the fuck is Pauline going to do? She’s as dumb as a wrong, an omega with no skill or training, what use does she serve?Yusuke owes me alot of explanations, but for now, I will worry about making nice with my new friend.Ugh, that is such a disgusting word when it refers to Lucia
✧༝┉˚❋Lucian Montague❋˚┉༝✧Percy is not taking this enemy with benefits well. Heck, he isn’t taking the fact that we have to share a bed well. My mother left us with a single phone and laptop. We can email, but that’s alot of work for me and Percy has been hogging the phone to email his friend grumpily.Although we have wifi, the phone is quite useless. We can’t research anything, and can’t install any apps. But we can make phone calls using the house phone. If we can remember the numbers to our friends, or the emergency number. I’m in the top floor living room because Percy couldn’t be bothered to take me into the elevator.I’m in the wheelchair watching what seems to be an American drama about lost friends reconnecting in the future.I think. I dozed off a while ago. I didn’t sleep all night. And after seeing my enemy’s naked body in the shower, coupled with not sleeping all fucking night, my brain is a bit of a mess. Breakfast was nice, shockingly, and with my morning meds taken I d
»»─────ஓ๑♥Percival Whitmore♥๑ஓ ─────««He’s been doing it all day since the shower. Looking at me like there’s something on my skin he’s trying to figure out. It’s creepy. But I shouldn’t be surprised, he’s been acting all weird, creepy, and clinging since his attack.Where the fuck is the self-healing when you need it? Like, cure the poor guy already so that I don’t have to sit through this makeshift truce for much longer. I excused myself from the room while he watched a basketball game. It’s not a sport I care about. Volleyball is my jam. I should have hidden my phone. I’d have been able to call Zion instead of having to resort to the ancient ways of emailing.I barely like texting or phone conversations.I headed to the first floor to check the bar for some drinks. Something Lucian can take. Whether this leads to more problems isn’t really my concern. Sure, if you get technical about it, then yeah it is my concern since I’m a pseudo caretaker.Wow, nothing here but wine and soju.
✧༝┉˚❋Lucian Montague❋˚┉༝✧Percy is always asking for trouble. It’s like he has a second calling that happens to be a troublemaker. When he asked me to teach him something new, I gotta admit, I was angry. But I can’t deny I was interested. He’s a hot guy, but such a fucker. My ego swells at the thought of being the one to fuck Percy. Just think, all his bitching for years, pissing me the fuck off, attacking me... ha, imagine the face he’d make lost in pleasure. It’s the kind of evil temptation I can’t give up on. I can’t pass up the opportunity to be the one that turns him into a mess. I know. All the complications are clear. The world and my wolf are telling me to shut down this dumb idea but we’ve crossed that line. Why not go even further and do some crazy shit like fuck him?I chuckle. “We’re gonna need supplies before we venture down into that path.”“Like lube? There’s gonna be some here.”“Why would there be?”He gives me a nasty eye roll. “They fuck. In case you didn’t know.
»»─────ஓ๑♥Percival Whitmore♥๑ஓ─────««I didn’t move from his lap, i should have after the stupid biology comment but i didn’t move. You could call me ballsy, you could also say I’m down right insane. You wouldn’t be wrong on either counts. I feel insane. And from what happened to my mother it’s kind of clear that i might be headed for the same fate. But the true reason for my decision to not move, falls down to my curiousity. I’ve had to go through life happily oblivious to the pulls of the body. My wolf has had to deal with it. But lucian gets hurt, and somehow I’m kissing him, getting off and now I’m about to ask a crazy question.“When was the last time you had a blow job?” From my position on his body i could feel his exact reaction to that question. It was evident from the way he looked at me, and the way a certain part of him took interest. “You’re disgusting. Answer my question.”“You’re on my dick and I’m the one who’s disgusting?” his questioned in disbelief. “Percy, my last
»»─────ஓ๑♥Percival Whitmore♥๑ஓ─────««Am I the asshole? Yeah, pretty much. But I’m not a monster. I couldn’t sleep the rest of the night because Lucian’s face seemed to haunt me. When I woke up next after aggressively dangling my body on the edge of this uncomfortable sofa cushion, I decided sleep was for the weak. When I sat up, I was surprised to find Lucian staring at the darkness outside with the same haunted expression he had on when he threw himself on me. What was that all about by the way?I probably should have asked him some more questions rather than reacting the way I did. But this is. Expecting anything less than a violent angry response would be completely unreasonable. As quietly as I could, I moved my body to sit more comfortably. A few inches from the edge of the cushion where I might have fallen. How did I get any sleep while I was there by the way?I should have awoken with a concussion. I was so close to the edge. I stretched out my muscles before channeling all
✧༝┉˚❋Lucian Montague❋˚┉༝✧I worked on the garden for what felt like hours, my hands buried in the dirt, the repetitive motions soothing in a way I hadn’t expected. The air was crisp, carrying the scent of soil and faintly blooming flowers, and for the first time in a long time, I felt grounded. The sun had begun to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows over the garden, but I kept going, unwilling to return inside just yet.Percy returned a few minutes into my work—though not by choice. He had been caught attempting to scale the outer wall and was now being dragged back by an experienced wolf who hadn’t even bothered to shift back into human form. The massive beast had its sharp teeth clamped onto Percy’s shirt, dragging him across the ground with little effort, despite Percy’s grumbling protests.I couldn’t help it—I laughed. Hard.Percy shot me a glare, brushing dirt off his clothes the second he was released. “Glad you’re enjoying this,” he muttered, voice thick with irritatio
✧༝┉˚❋Lucian Montague❋˚┉༝✧After much thought, I decided that Percy wasn’t allowed to leave. I mean, I’ve known him long enough to know that the second he gets a chance to leave. That’ll be the last I see of him. So we’ll do it a different way. Although he argued, I was about to force the ankle bracelet back onto his leg. Let me tell you the bruise on my cheek was worth it. I had to take more than my usual medicine to make up for this. Having to pin him, and put that device back on him... was not easy. But nothing ever is. Nothing in this life is easy when Percival Whitmore is involved. I contacted my best friends using the laptop and told one of them to go to the area where i was attacked to search for the syringe that had been used on me. Then I sent the other to check if there’s been any information. And to grab some essential items and bring them to me tomorrow. In the meantime, Percy and I would have to spend another night alone. Which shouldn’t be an issue but knowing what we
✧༝┉˚❋Lucian Montague❋˚┉༝✧I woke up to Percy watching me sleep. He was seated on the desk chair, one foot under his thigh while the other dangled on the floor. He was biting his fingernails, his eyes looking all over my face and body. It’s not a pretty sight. Percival looked outraged, and when I looked down I saw that his ankle bracelet was off. He was holding it in his free hand.“You’re up. That’s good.” The room looked to be in one piece, and so was I. I pulled myself up, making sure not to move my leg in the wrong way. I shuffled backward until my back touched the headboard. The room was chilling, the AC must have been cranked up to the top.“What’s wrong?”“My mother is missing. My father is up to something. And I think my mom is going to end up in jail. Everything is wrong, Lucian.” he hissed out my name. “And you want to know what’s the worst part? I actually feel bad for you,” he says, continuously biting at his fingers which were now bleeding. The fuck. I don’t think he’s n
»»─────ஓ๑♥Percival Whitmore♥๑ஓ─────««With lucian asleep, it didn’t make any sense for the emergency button to be going off. That was on his wheelchair. I exited the room slowly, and went in search of the wheelchair. I found it in the bedroom on the floor below ours, there was a notebook on the area where the button was placed. That’s strange. Perhaps pauline moved it. But that doesn’t explain why it started buzzing after she’d left. Not even right away. I sighed, and picked the book off the button before rolling the chair back to the top floor and to the bedroom. I sat behind the desk, confused and as to how this had happened. Then i decided to let the thought go. I have better things to worry about. Turning on the computer, i checked on the software that pauline had that man install. There was a messenging app, and a face call app. Which is good, for lucian. I’m sticking to emailing Zion since i know pauline won’t be bothered to check in on what I’m doing. I went into the searc
»»────ஓ๑♥Percival Whitmore♥๑ஓ─────««I was down in the living room, actively trying not to be alone with Lucian while others were around. His check-up took almost an hour, and by the time everything was done and settled, Pauline came down with the doctor, and the man I think she hired to install some apps on that useless computer. She seemed to pause when she noticed me pacing. Did I look guilty? Can she see the unhealed bruises on my lips? It should have healed, it will heal in a few days. Lucian had been rough. Goodness. Did the doctor know?We’re disgusting. How could I have stained my skin with that of my enemy?“Percy,” she called out to me softly. I pulled my eyes from my clenched fist, looking at her and the two men behind her. The doctor narrowed his eyes, and I glared harshly at him. He immediately turned away.“What happened to your lips?”“Do you care?” I inquired, trying to dodge the question. “I’m just a bit confused.”I inhaled. “I haven’t spoken to my mother in a wh
✧༝┉˚❋Lucian Montague❋˚┉༝✧I’m not sure when I fell back asleep, but I woke up in a bit of an odd position. Percy must have rolled during the night. His head was on my stomach, and he had one leg thrown over mine. I tensed, knowing if I breathed a little too loud he’d wake up. I don’t need to be nice to him, I know that. And this isn’t kindness. If I panicked when I woke up, then I can only imagine how Percy would react. I don’t have it in me to fight with him. Give me a few hours and that flame will be lit back up. He gets on my nerves. I can’t stay calm forever. Not while he’s around. I shut my eyes and forced my heart to stay calm. I reminded myself of the things I needed to do once Percy woke. It shouldn’t be long now.And it wasn’t. Only mere seconds after that thought, Percival stirred. I could practically hear the devils shaking in their little hell. Nothing can raise my blood pressure more than this jerk. He lets out a tiny groan, probably noticing where he’d been resting hi
