Camilo's Point of View

Dominique had dragged me out of the house. Tossed me to the grass in the front yard. No one was around to witness their great leader falling. Or the curse words flying from my mouth at the man in front of me.

Tristan had remained inside. A bloody mess leaning against the wall. Both his eyes would be swollen shut by tomorrow morning. Some ribs might be bruised from my lower blows. But Dominique had barely paid the boy any attention. Flung himself at me the moment he could instead of helping his son.

The spark of anger on his face told me enough of what he had thought of the altercation. That it was nothing more than a nuisance. Alejandro had been dragged off by some of our men. The second in command had given them hell, meaning more men had come from their various stations to help get him away from Tristan.

He had become frenzied in the same way he would when someone crossed him on a personal level. It boggled my mind but it hadn't been out of character. Yet, hi

    Farren's Point of ViewTwo maids brought in a large mattress for the evening whilst Isabelle fluttered about in her room. From throwing most of her clothes in a hamper to making sure her shoes weren't strewn about the room. The girl was messy. Clean but in a very untidy way. You couldn't see a speck of dust on her dresser. Or table. But clothes littered the floor. Along with various other items."I really am sorry about the mess. If I had known you'd stay over, I would have cleaned up." She confessed whilst hunched over trying to pick up something from the floor. I waved her off. Dangled my feet from the edge of her bed.Rafael had stepped out for a moment. To check up on Camilo and Alejandro. I had made it perfectly clear that I wanted neither around just yet. Well, as clear as I could. Rafael had asked if I wanted to see them and I just shook my head. Looked away. That was the most I could muster at the moment. "I don't know if I can stay," I muttered. Picked some lint off of my dr

    Farren's Point of ViewShortly after Rafael had fallen to his knees, Isabelle decided to come back in. Her hair had been tossed up into a bun. Loose-fitting clothes hung from her frame. There was a sadness in her eyes that I couldn't place. Until she saw the position we were in."Oh, my goddess! Did you seriously just propose to her in my room? Fuck sake! What's wrong with men these days!" Rushing over, Isabelle dragged Rafael up. Set him back on his chair. "At least make it romantic, you idiot!""Isa, I was just asking Farren if she would like to date me." Rafael clarified with a teasing smile. He looked past her. Got a glint in his eyes that he winked my way. I stifled a giggle. Wrapped my fingers into Isabelle's soft fiber duvet cover. "Ask her to date you? Boy, have you gone mad? She is already your mate. No need in wooing her." Isabelle said and shrugged. This time I did giggle. Burst out laughing shortly after with spit flying all around.Rafael looked annoyed at the girl. Eye

    Camilo's Point of ViewI had heard Rafael leave. It was closer to midnight than it was to six in the afternoon. The moon was high. The night sky clear. A perfect night for a run with your mate. If only mine wasn't as stubborn. Or as shy. But nonetheless, I had heard Rafael leave. Which meant Farren was finally alone. Isa must have fallen asleep hours ago. Unless the girl was partying, her bedtime was nine. No later. It was just her biological clock. Plus, a bomb could be released right next to her and she would barely stir. There, she took after our father, even if she didn't know it.Tiptoeing through the halls, I made sure that no one else would hear me. Some of our lower-ranked dealers stayed in the rooms on the bottom floor. For protection, or so I tried to convince myself.The truth of it was that they were homeless and just starting out. I couldn't let my men sleep on the streets. What would that say of their employer? So, they slept in the lower rooms. Bathed in the communal s

    Farren's Point of ViewIt was like looking at a million different lights. They were dancing in the air. Had a song all their own. I couldn't help my anger turn into awe. Felt myself giving in to the alluring moment. Yes, he had woken me up. Scared me half to death. But Camilo had shown me a fantasy world. Hadn't brought up a single negative thing since we had left the house.It was refreshing. But my opinion of him would remain the same. For a while, at least.To think, it was so close to my prospective home. Which, of course, I was keeping secret from the man standing beside me. I caught a glimpse of the wonder in his eyes. The way the fireflies danced in front of his face. Sparked in his eyes. His mouth was slightly agape. Lost in his own world. From this angle, he was deathly handsome. Vulnerable. The brick wall that normally surrounded him was nowhere in sight. Got lost somewhere in the forest behind us. It was astonishing to think the all-mighty boss was just like a little boy o

    Farren's Point of ViewRafael had kept his word. The moment Isabelle let me know Camilo had left the building, I trotted outside in her clothes. Noticed Rafael standing against what looked to be an old chevy impala. The car was black. Had darkened windows. One white stripe splitting the roof. His eyes lit up when he saw me. But I paled in comparison to him. His suit was freshly pressed. Cut in tight to his waist. Shaped his broad shoulders. Black on black with a crisp white shirt. Matching black shoes and belt. All he needed now was Aviator glasses and I would be his in the blink of an eye.Rafael pushed away from the car when I came closer. Eyed me up and down with a hunger in his eyes. I shied away. Smiled up at the tall beast of a man. "You look gorgeous." He whispered. Leaned in and kissed both of my cheeks. The sparks were short-lived but high-inducing regardless. "I look like the Pauper aspect of the Princess and the Pauper duo, so don't even start with me," I grumbled. Walke

    Farren's Point of ViewWe stood in the driveway and watched as the real estate agent pulled out her car. Drove away. My heart was twitching inside my chest. Palms sweaty. Neither came from my anxiety or a looming attack. Oh no. It came from the fact that she had given her number to Rafael. Or tried to.She had assumed that because I was the one buying the place I was just his friend. That he had helped me pick out a place to live. All of this came after I had transferred the money into the business account she provided. It also came when I leaned in to hug Rafael out of joy. Which made my temper spike. I had snapped at her. Hurried her along to do the paperwork for the transfer of ownership. And get out of our fucking hair before she lost hers. Rafael had only smiled at me through the whole ordeal. Until she touched his arm. Pressed her chest against him and tried to convince him that she would make the perfect wife.Rafael had lost it then. Told her how I was his mate. That this hom

    Farren's Point of ViewRafael looked at me with a raised brow. Tilted his head to the side as he took in Louisa again. Sighing, I placed my hand on his shoulder. Smiled at him lovingly."It's fine. He most likely wants to hear how my hunt for a nurse had gone." A blatant lie. My first one to Rafael. I hoped and prayed I wouldn't make a habit of it. That one day he would understand why I kept certain parts from him.Benicio couldn't care less about whether or not I found a nurse for my mother. I knew he wanted to know where I had been last night. Why Rafael was here. The two worked together and my brother most likely knew the car. I just wanted Rafael to stay out of the argument that would surely come. He had enough things to worry about in life, adding to them would be an injustice."Want me to come with you?" He asked, pleading in his tone. Had her picked up on the stiffness in my body? The way my voice pitched higher than normal? I shook my head. Kept the smile on my face."I'll be

    Farren's Point of ViewSeveral hours of packing left me drained. Sleep pushed me gently into its waiting arms. I couldn't stop it from happening, no matter how much I still had left to go. After two weeks of staying in this house, I had more stuff to pack than when we had feld Makatza.One never truly realizes how much you buy until the day you need to pack it all up. But sleep was a solid comfort I enjoyed. Although, my dreams were riddled with unknown faces. Men telling me that they were my father. Rafael breaking Leon's arm. The terrible escape from the royal palace. So much blood that I was sure I would choke to death on it. It was a dungeon filled with nightmares only my mind could conjure up. But it was a solace nonetheless. A peace I needed after everything that had happened these last few days.Until my throat was burning from being too dry. And my bladder screamed at me to relieve myself. I woke to my room being in total darkness. Even the moon outside was obstructed. Not a

The Origin Story of the Moon Goddess and how the wolves came to be. It will be my master piece out of the series and the most detailed.

    Farren's Point of View6 Months Later"Are you sure you want to attend? The twins are so close to being born and I don't want anything to happen to you or them." Isabelle was whining from my bed. She hung upside down. Glared at me whilst I was preparing my makeup.Not that it was easy. On the contrary, I hated doing it now. My stomach was too large for me to sit comfortably. The mirror was too far away and eyeliner needed to be applied close up. I would stand but bending forward meant my center of gravity was no longer in the right place. Throw that in with the fact that my bladder emptied itself nearly every hour and you had one pissed-off woman."I am fine, Isa. It is the grand opening of the Torrez Trust Project. I need to be there. You know how much time and money I spent on this. If it makes you feel any better, just come along." I whined. My liner was crooked. The wing was too large which made my eyes look strange. Cursing, I threw the liner down and grabbed some wipes. All of

    Camilo's Point of View"I am heading home now and I swear if they aren't there, I am going to commit murder," I growled.There was a crackle on the other side of the line. A pause. "We are heading over as well. Everyone is done here and the greenies are cleaning up." Alejandro sounded rather out of breath by the end of the sentence. Ready to collapse. If today had been like the other four, he must be bone tired. People had that effect on him. Had that effect on almost all of us."Good. I'll meet you at the front door then. I'm not that far off." Stepping down on the accelerator, I felt my back pressing into the seat. My mother had taken Farren to the doctor. Claimed she was sick. But it should have been one of us to take her. Care for her. Not my mother and sister. Something bent inside of me. Threatened to break.We needed to make this work. Settle our differences. I needed to show Farren that this was for life. That she meant the world to me. And then some. I wanted to give her ev

    Farren's Point of ViewWe made it all the way to the living room of the Amador house before my stomach turned again. Flipped in on itself. Isabelle ran to the kitchen to fetch a bowl whilst I battled to get my stomach under control. The girl was helpful until I spewed some more. The moment yellow bile hit the bowl, she was no longer a willing participant in helping me. Instead, her nose curled up and she gagged. Gripped the armrest of the three-seater until I was sure the wood might splinter beneath the cushion. "I think," she paused only to gag again. The bowl in my lap was almost to the brim and there was no sign of me stopping anytime soon. "I think I am going to get my mother for you." She finished with a shaky breath at the end. I nodded and resumed my position over the bowl.Moments later, the queen of the house arrived. Her hair was also pulled back from her face. Diamonds in her ears. And then my world turned yellow again as I vomited up some more bile. Isa had stayed closer

    Farren's Point of ViewOne Week Later"Everyone who needs medical supplies, please go to the right of the line. Food parcels are to the left and if you need housing solutions, please come to the center line. The next trauma debriefing will be held in forty minutes." I screamed above the crowd in front of me.We had set up an emergency aid station on my estate. The front garden was filled to the brim with people. Rafael had arranged buses to pick up people at several different locations throughout the city. To make it easier for everyone to get resources easily. It was the best idea I could come up with to help all the families who had lost someone to our fight.Who had lost not only their sole income most of the time, but also their protector and rock. It wasn't their fault that their husbands and fathers had chosen a different side. Or that we had mobilized their protectors to come and protect us. Thus the burden of helping everyone landed heavily on our shoulders.Isabelle moved clo

    Farren's Point of ViewI had forgotten to tell him. Had forgotten that one of the henchmen had even said it to me. Dominique had killed Camilo's father. And I had been too lost in my misery and fear to remember to tell him. Somewhere after being kidnapped, those men had most likely lost their lives because of it.Hell. I wouldn't put it past Dominique to torture them to death because of it. It gave away a rather valuable advantage that Dominique might have had. All thanks to two idiots who ran their mouths. Although, at the end of it, he had played the card in the worst way possible.Let it slip whilst he was begging for his life.The sickening crunch of Dominique's skull vibrated through the kitchen. I flinched. Looked away as he collapsed fully to the floor. On the other hand, Tristan only watched as his father gave up his life. A blank stare on his face.Alejandro had him in a hold. Forced him to look at the mess his father had made. And paid so heavily for. There wasn't a single e

    Camilo's Point of ViewI saw her slipping away from the front of the house. Noticed her head bobbing up and over the back side of the wall. One moment she was there. The next it felt like my heart was going to explode out of my chest from fear. Every nerve in my body stood on end. Felt frayed. About to rip themselves apart.Throughout the entire fight, I never lost focus. I knew where Farren was. That she was virtually unreachable to anyone. Until she decided to crawl down. To leave the only safety bubble she had agreed to stay in. Throughout the entire fight, I kept my eye on Dominique. Made sure the bastard wasn't advancing. But I took my eye off the ball. Let myself get distracted. If it wasn't for Alejandro disemboweling a man charging at me. Or my mother shooting him a second later, I would be beheaded by now."What the fuck is going on with you!" Alejandro screamed over the commotion surrounding us. I looked at him in disbelief. Shook my head. When I looked back to where Domini

    Farren's Point of ViewMrs. Amador looked so out of place on the roof. Rifle pressed to her shoulder. Eye peering through a rather large scope. In her designer heels and twinkling diamonds. This woman should have been on a runway somewhere. Not shooting at people from a rooftop in the stifling sun.Even her lips were perfectly lined in the same color men would spill in the courtyard below. After a moment of adjusting and readjusting the scope, she settled it against the small retaining wall on the roof. Lucky for us, the kitchen was the perfect spot to stand on. The roof here was flat with a small enough wall that we could take cover when necessary. The end of an extractor fan shot out to my right. "Have you ever shot a gun, Farren?" Even her voice sounded too perfect to be of this world. I hoped that one day I would be as graceful as she was. Poised and perfect. With all of my training at court, I should have been better than her by now. Although standing right beside the woman, I

    Camilo's Point of ViewI was waiting on the porch for them. Paced around so badly one of my calves decided to cramp. When I noticed the car on the other side, I felt hope spark in my chest. She was within reach and I could better protect her here. Although, our barricades would only last so long. At least she was here. As one, my men slammed the gate shut behind them. Slammed the steel poles into place as well. My father had put certain things in place to protect his family. This was only one of them. The large stash of cash and food in the heavily armored basement was another.Quintez was leaning against the railings. His face was a stone slab up until the car came through. He was in immense pain. I could sense it from a mile away. He had been the one to discover the bombs. Had jumped out of the car and ran full speed at the warehouse. No one had opened fire. But the bomb exploded not too far from him.Threw him clear through the air. It was the first time in my life that I was afra
