“Did something happen?” She appeared in front of me, checking me up and down with anxious eyes. “Are you hurt somehow?”
“No, I’m not hurt.”
I had my head nestled on top of her chest, listening to her heartbeats, and feeling her breathing go back to normal. One of her arms rested on my shoulder, and she played with my hair, lacing her fingers between the strands in a soft caress. People used to call me devil, but at that moment, I felt like an angel in heaven.“What are you thinking? You’re too
I didn’t think the movie and all the visual effects of it would hypnotize him, but it did. He glued his eyes to the screen, and his hand flew to the popcorn bowl in automatic mode. He resembled a kid fascinated by the big screen. It was endearing to see his reaction to something we took for granted every day in our lives.Everything was happening too fast, and I
“I wish I had done that for real. The bastard deserved not only that but also ended up with his ass on a stake!” His voice boomed in the room menacing, then he saw me getting up. “Sorry about that, Liz! Are you hurt?” Before I answered, he scooped me up, taking us back to the couch.“I’m fine.” I was laughing out loud. My
I’ve been awake for some time already, thinking about my life and everything that had happened until this point, and I didn’t like to dwell too much on it. If someone told me about it, I would hardly believe it and think the person a nutcase. Even if I didn’t believe myself, I could say that Alexandra was dealing quite fine with all this absurd situation surrounding us for the last six centuries. I had to give her some credit, since we met again, she did nothing but to put up with my short temper and tyranny over her.
It’s been more than a week now, and thankfully we got two sunny days. Although the cold was bitter, it helped the snow melt, at least to a point where we could leave by any day. Gradually, I was getting acquainted with this century, and believe me, I liked it more than I should, because of all the possibilities it held.We spent the day training, and Liz in
AntonI got a call from a new buyer. He wanted me to give a look in a new dagger he just acquired. He had never put his eyes on such beauty, and it seemed oddly old. Everything different interested me a lot, not to say otherwise. Discretion with new clients is my protocol. The first meeting is always in an undisclosed location, and in an open space.
“Vlad, he’s terribly hurt, I can feel it. Why isn’t he answering me?” She hugged her middle and sweat poured over her face, tears streaming down.“I’m linked with him, he’s fine. He will give us news later and by morning he’ll be here.” I assured her, but she didn’t listen to me.
Fear ate at me, and after last night’s incident, for the first time dread is lashing at me like punishing whips. I knew the promises I’ve made, but I didn’t know if I’d be able to keep them. Probably not, but what choice do I have? Putting them in danger was overrated, and it’s not fair to them. I don’t know why the agency betrayed me, but I needed to discover what was going on, I needed a plan and fast.
Liz“WOMAN!” I was in the kitchen and almost jumped out of my skin when I heard the booming voice coming from the bedroom. The bear just woke up and he got angry, but instead I got scared of him, all I wanted all that tyranny for myself. His domineering tone crawled on my skin like a caress and traveled straight to the right places in my body, and coiled i
My father came from behind and grabbed my waist, raising me from Vlad’s body and bringing me hard to his chest. I cried so heavy, and I was so fucking broken, I would kick at Tony’s legs and extend my hands, trying to reach Grizzly at all costs. At that point, I couldn’t understand my life without him, I couldn’t devise a future for me in the coming days. How does one live without a heart pulsing inside the chest? Mine was lying torn, in silence, on that very floor!
When I heard Vlad’s words resounding the place, my blood froze in my veins as doom was about to descend on us. I found myself exhausted with my head cushioned in Doctor Blake’s lap, and fatherly eyes looking down at me. Yes, he had redeemed himself; he was a good person after all, and as much as a victim like me or my sister. Warmth filled my heart for this man, but also guilt. It was as if with this new feeling I was betraying Tony. He was my father in my heart, and as if he picked up my mixed feelings, he was there in my head.
Lights came from the other side, and the entire room charged. I didn’t know what was going on, the only thing that had my focus was the hilarious look on my brother’s face. He didn’t know with whom he messed with; he didn’t know the power she yielded. The shock and confusing shadow behind the reason she had defied him, backing out on his threats.
Those were the longest and excruciating minutes I have ever had to live. The entire time I prayed to God, not to let it be true, but the sinking feeling in my stomach didn’t lie. I caught myself stepping back with shaky hands, until I hit the bed and fell, sat on it, as the door opened, and a gorgeous smile but cynical greeted me.With wide eyes and trembling lip
“Welcome to my home, brother, I hope you feel comfortable here.” He was there, standing in the middle of the room, holding a box. His face was a grimace and scintillating eyes at me.“Stop with the crap, you puny bastard, and spit it!” With very slow movements, I planted my feet apart, preparing myself for an attack. With a quick side look to An
I knew Liz had said something to him when he cursed. He was pissed, but not with her. Something else bugged him. “Don’t let me out of it, Anton. I’m trying to reach her and she blocked me,” I said, my patience running thin.“My little girl is about to have one more disappointment, if she hadn’t had enough already. I knew it was comin
I stood like a statue in the middle of that room, staring at the blond woman with a puzzled face by the corner. The silence was oppressive and to tell the truth I didn’t know what to say, where to start or what to do. She looked at me with an awkward face and puzzled eyes.“Do you know who I am?” I asked the first thing that came to my mind. She gave
