~Emilia’s Point of View~
I seriously couldn’t believe how badly the case was going for the prosecution, and surely everyone else had to be noticing as well. How can you really charge murder when you have no motive and no murder weapon tying everything together? I’ve seen enough crime TV to know those are very important things.
I strolled into the courtroom and sat on the bench behind my mate. There was a new guy sitting with the ADA and I didn’t like that one bit.
“Mr. Flanagan to what do we owe this honor,” the judge asked.
My eyes darted to the lawyer who rose.
“I will be taking over the remainder of the case your honor,” Mr. Flanagan said.
My heart sank and
I wanted to leave a note that you can check me out on social media under Saree Bee Writer for updates! A new book will be dropping soon :)
~Aleksey’s Point of View~ We were having some minor scrapes on the streets that needed our attention, a late shipment and a few small time idiots trying to step into our territory. Nothing Mickey couldn’t handle and he was dying to get back to work. He was going to have Ivan go along with him and start to give him some tests. He dropped me at Robert’s house and went off to do his thing. I strolled into the house to find it a war zone, literally all of his guys were there. There was a giant dry erase board with pictures and lines going all over like you’d see in a police station squad room. Everyone was running around like something big was going on and no one even noticed me. I took off my coat and suit jacket, putting them neatly in his coat closet. I found myself with a weird sense of calm,
~Mickey’s Point of View~All that money on the lawyers, all the stress and here I was stuck at home again. I rubbed my eyes and stumped toward the bathroom to try and wake up. I looked at my phone, 10:33am. Shit I slept too late. But then again I only went to bed at 5.RING RING RINGA number I didn’t recognize. With us changing out all the street soldier’s phones I couldn’t ignore it. I swiped to accept it with my free thumb.“Yeah,” I said, lowering my toothbrush and waiting.“Mickey,” a female asked.“Who wants to know,” I said, starting to brush my teeth.
~Emilia’s Point of View~Okay, the first time I walked into this restaurant I could have puked and crapped my pants all at once. But now, I had a mission. I could do this, I could do this!Since Aleksey didn’t want Robert’s army buddies out on the streets dealing with direct family matters, they were my muscle for the evening. Four huge dudes that could snap your neck in seconds and not flinch. The rest of them stayed at the house in case anyone got any ideas about trying to invade.Sofia seemed passive, her mind elsewhere. Aleksey said both his parents were the inventors of the poker face and they never gave anything away. I’d love to work on that but it didn’t seem possible for me. Most of my life I just blended in, no one looked at me much or cared to.
~Aleksey’s Point of View~“What the fuck happened,” I bellowed, almost in a roar as I scooped up my mate from the car.“She started humming something and just passed out,” mother said.*Mate needs us, she’s hurt, help the pup,* Felix whined.I didn’t stay long enough for anything else. I threw myself and my mate into the back of Robert’s car as Mickey sped off. The whole bottom half of her body was wet but it didn’t smell like blood so that was slightly comforting. I lightly tapped her cheeks.*Do something!! The pup is in danger,* Felix yelled, pacing frantically in my mind.“Baby, you need to wake up
~Mickey’s Point of View~ While it was a shit situation all around, this is what I lived for, what I was born to do. Handle business, take care of the family and do what needs to be done. It was a miracle none of our people and especially Emmy and Sofia weren’t killed in the shoot-out. We should have known what a hot temper Lorenzo had but I still never would have imagined he’d try that shit. Word on the street was that his second was losing his damn mind and trying to find muscle to help maintain his territory, which Bohai was invading. I relished the thought. I wished we could be out there taking some too but he did promise to share a bit. The Italians were essentially going to be run out of the game. I was sitting in the front seat of Sofia’s Rolls Royce waiting on our visitor. He was liter
~Emilia’s Point of View~ “I want to talk to him, alone,” I said, with my hands on my hips and my foot tapping. We were checking out of the hospital and I knew they’d already left Pavel to rot overnight. I knew they weren’t feeding him, they were letting him sweat. “I think my mother and grandfather want at him first. They’re just torturing him by letting him sit alone with his thoughts. He has to be going insane wondering what will happen to him,” Aleksey said. “Then let me talk to your grandfather. Pavel knows without a doubt he’s going to die. What if I go in there, be sweet and offer an olive branch,” I said. My mate sighed. “Really though. What
~Mickey’s Point of View~ I never got nervous, and certainly not for a female. A female I already decided I wasn’t going to care about no less. But here I was, about to knock on her hotel room door and my heart was racing. However, I wasn’t praying for this to go well. I wanted to see her just to confirm there was nothing there and move on to more important shit. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK The door opened and there stood the female from the picture, she looked exactly the same. “Hey, thanks for coming,” she said, grinning. “Sure,” I simply said, as a wave of relief fell over me. I felt … absolutely nothing just as I knew I would. My wolf … was totally silent. He c
~Alexandria’s Point of View~ “This is just not how things are done,” I said, scolding Emilia. She held Alexander and stroked his face, not giving a damn about what I was saying. Aleksey and mother were beyond furious, they couldn’t even look at her. Sergei was on his way to New York and Robert was filling in for Mickey checking in on the streets so I was left to … to what exactly? I sighed. Part of me was glad Pavel got a quick death, I had to admit it. I never cared before what the family did to traitors. But I hadn’t ever known one personally. Spent half my life in love with one. Part of me just … agreed with her actions on a deep level. Memories suddenly flooded me. The Pavel I grew up playing in the snow with, having food fights with an
~Eight months later~~Aleksey’s Point of View~“Cheers,” everyone yelled as they hit their champagne flutes together.The music was pumping through the packed floor and everyone was dressed to kill, or to get drunk and dance all night depending on how you looked at it.“There’s the man of the hour,” Robert yelled as Mickey stepped into the VIP lounge.I immediately got to my feet and we had a little three way bro hug, congratulating Mickey on the opening night of Club Rez.“I couldn’t have done it alone, it happened so fast thanks to everyone. To family,” Mickey said, beaming
~Emilia’s Point of View~“You can’t keep me in here and not charge me with anything,” I yelled, from behind the bars.I’d been in this damn holding cell for hours, I was hungry as hell, my boobs hurt and were leaking.“I want my lawyer, I want him now,” I yelled.At least a dozen officers walked by here and there but not a single one looked at me. Assholes!!“I’m a mother to a newborn and I need to pump my breast milk,” I yelled.My right boob was killing me and if I was getting a clogged duct I’d kill someone. I sat down on the metal bed and massaged it, milk dripped out and soaked my bra
~Aleksey’s Point of View~Best laid fucking plans, I thought as I crouched behind a wrecked car. The pain in my thigh was searing and it was too great for me to put my weight on it. Damn bullet didn’t come out.*Kill them all! They will fucking suffer,* Felix seethed.*Yeah keep yelling, no one can hear you,* I said, annoyed.The last thing I needed right now was him shouting at me, but that’s what happens when you share your brain with an animal.There were at least four shooters left that I could make out, these assholes must have hired some locals to give them better numbers. I raised my gun and emptied my clip, not hitting anyone. I growled and dropped it into my lap, reloading.
~Emilia’s Point of View~ “So how’d she take it,” I quickly asked once Mickey came back. They reeked of sex and Veronica had a freshly fucked look about her. I was jealous. Also curious if we could get the bed changed out before we’d need to use it again. “Uhm … yeah,” he said, looking guilty. “Are you fucking serious? How could you not tell her,” Alexandra whispered, clearly annoyed. “I’m waiting for the right time,” he said, defensively. “You’re a dumbass,” Alex said, throwing up her hands. Aleksey looked at him like he was crazy and Robert shook his head.
~Robert’s Point of View~ “Who do we know with connections at Interpol,” I asked. I had Ivan in my ear but Mickey and Aleksey were closely seated on either side of me, staring at this asshole’s picture. “Honestly? Gabe, but I can’t contact him directly. Let me see what I can do. Send me the picture,” Ivan said. “I gotta order food. I’m sure the females want something,” Mickey said. “Do you just always eat,” I said, knowing full well I was hungry too. “You’re one to talk,” he said, slapping my stomach. I slapped him back. RING RING RING
~Aleksey’s Point of View~“You can’t just ignore me forever,” Emilia said, while laying in bed and nursing our pup.I licked my lips at the sight. Fuck she’s just so damn … irresistable. And she knows it. I never imagined I’d have a female capable of dragging me around by my cock, totally whipped. But … for Emilia I wanted her to, she owned me. I would always be at her mercy. Those eyes, those lips, fuck.“I’ll speak when I have something to say,” I said, looking away.It was damn near impossibly to stay mad at her when every fiber of my being wanted to hold her, comfort her and fuck her senseless all at once.“Tell me what’s really
~Mickey’s Point of View~ What the hell was I doing? Oh fuck if I knew. I ran my hand through my hair and looked around the plane. This was supposed to be a quick day trip but suddenly everyone wanted to come along. Now it seemed like it was something so much bigger than it should be. As of last night, Aleksey and Emilia weren’t speaking, Alex and Robert were strained. Sofia didn’t want to leave her room which told me she wanted time with her “friend.” I made it clear to Melody that I was only going to try and talk some sense into both our fathers. She should have some more flexibility in who she got to choose and my father should butt the fuck out of my life. We both knew we weren’t compatible, it was no one’s fault you just can’t help these things if they’re not meant to be.
