“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.
“Alex, what have you been hiding from me? Please, think right, because I want a straight answer.” He called me Alex, I tensed against Vlad. I was still conveniently sitting on his lap, and whatever I was chewing got stuck in my throat, and I had to gulp on my coffee to help it down as I raised my eyes to his Stoic face.“What do you mean?” I tri
I had been watching her sleep for some time already. How could they be so different, and yet the same? She had that protective streak in her the same as before, the loving nature that made her so special, but messed by her experience in this life. So much is that she feels guilty when she does something improper. Something against her values.Unfortunately, her torture
It’s been two hours since I parked my sweetness a block away and crouched on a branch on top of a tree, recognizing my surroundings. The street in this part of Smithtown was empty and quiet, maybe because it was after eleven in the evening. Most of the families were getting ready for a good night’s sleep, but my eyes set in one house. The house. I had already sent a message to Shane, telling him I was back and to meet me in the morning.
My heart came to a complete stop when I snapped my eyes open and I couldn’t feel Liz anywhere closer. She broke her promise; she broke our deal. Dread crept in me, and I loathed this foreign feeling, but it was like that with her, fear always knocking at my door, skulking around and a maddening sense of helplessness. I strode through the house like I was preparing for the battlefields to find Anton in the living room, eyes closed and concentrated, with a bluish glow around him.
His words hit me like a blow and when I realised I was already on top of him, holding his dear life by a thread. The teen in the picture, now that I thought about it. She had the same eyes as me, but sort of bluish green ones, and she looked terribly like him. That beautiful girl was my sister, and I couldn’t be happier. But she was a grown woman now, what kind of life did she lead, what horrors had she seen? This man in my hands was a coward who delivered his family to vultures and not once thought about fighting back.
Shane approached me all rude the minute I stepped out of my bike in front of the deli we agreed to meet in the City. I didn’t expect that from him. He was transfigured, grabbing me by the arm and pushing me to an alley a few steps away. I understood our past encounter got a little out of hand, but that didn’t give him the right to manhandle me like that.
“Alex, please, care to elaborate.” I gave him a light nod, I just needed a minute to gather myself.Gosh, how could I explain? I wallowed in shame, and it was even hard to look at him; he taught me better, but in the course of my life with the Agency, sometimes I wasn’t the most ethical person in my means to achieve my goals. I worked with what I had
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
