Lucas’s POVShe was so taken by surprise regarding what I just said to her, that I felt like she stopped breathing altogether.She was frozen in place, her chest not even moving, her eyes not even blinking as she kept her eyes fixed on me with a bewildered look.I smiled at catching her so off guard, that I practically felt like I shot her dead right there as I revealed her stupid lie to me.One thing was confirmed though. If I had any doubts that she knew who Andrew was in the slightest, I would have caught a flicker of recognition in her eyes when she looked at him. But she was staring at him like she was seeing a complete stranger to her.She has no idea who that man is. But I was far from being done screwing with her.She fucked up massively when she decided to roll a lie after lie to my face and now she was going to pay for everything.I wasn’t backing down from her until I get the whole damn truth, I was willing to go to what ever extremities I had to to fucking get it.Enough i

Angelina’s POVI don’t know how much my heart can still be able to withstand more stress before giving up on me.But somehow it was still functioning even after Lucas shot the man claiming to be my father without even diverting his gaze from me.It startled me so much, the sound of the shot in that close range, and in this confined space compared to the vastness of that mountain, it was more terrifying like nothing I’ve seen before. I jumped in my spot and shook immensely at the booming sound of that shot.The sick bastard is fucking crazy!He wasn’t aiming with his eyes but still, as I looked at the definitely dead man; unwillingly, I saw the bullet hole right in the fucking middle of his forehead.I wondered how many times he needed to practice that move to nail it so perfectly and how many people died in the process of achieving that precision.My wide eyes went back to him and my blood ran cold as I saw the smile on his face.“Oops! I killed your father” he said nonchalantly.It w

Angelina’s POV“You knew from the beginning?” I asked her in a shocked tone.She smiled at me sadly “Yes, Lucas knew you were going to be in that car from the start. He knew your name even before he met you. But when you lied about it, he went along with you”How the hell did he know my name?How did he know I was going to be in that car yesterday?And what else does he know?His mind games were driving me crazy.I don’t even know what’s real and what’s not anymore at this point.“If he knew, why did he stay quiet?” I asked her in confusion.“I don’t really know how that kid’s mind works. But I guess when he realized how much he really scared you yesterday, he knew you weren’t going to tell him the truth. So he decided to seek it out another way. David told me everything that happened in there. You were going to go with that man even though you knew he wasn’t your real father. You knew he was going to take you to Zade. Can I know why?” she asked carefully.I looked through my window,

Angelina’s POVI stared at him silently, waiting for his next move, daring him to come at me again.“You really wanna fight me? Because let me tell you, it won’t end well for you” he said playfully, but I could still feel the underlying tension in there.“I really don’t want to, Lucas. But you’re pushing me. All you have to do is hand me my ID and let me go. That’s all I’m asking for” I tried to say reasonably.“Angel, we’re way past that already. You’re not going anywhere” he said in a bored tone like I was a broken record.I shook my head in disgust “I’m no angel Lucas. You better not call me that again”Fact is ‘Angel’ was my mom’s nickname for me, and hearing it from him rattled me to the core but I tried so hard to shove past that.He smiled at me seductively “Well, you can’t really spell Angelina without Angel. So you kind of are”Arrogant, smartass, prick! just come at me already so I have an excuse to make you regret ever saying that nickname!“Lucas, stop this” Diana warned a

Angelina’s POVI was petrified to say the least.Both by his words and his slight movement that made me very much aware of it only after he mentioned it.I wasn’t hot and bothered like he insinuated because I was too scared and too angry to focus on anything else besides beating the shit out of him and blowing off all my bottled up anger on him.He was right about one thing though, annoyingly right, my pussy is virgin. And maybe that’s exactly why his words combined with his hard erection pressing and pulsing against me scared me and frightened me more than it should had I possessed the slightest experience with anything sexual.I’ve never even been kissed before can you believe that?Never reached to any base like any normal eighteen year old.It had something to do with what my mom had been through. It made me grasp to protecting myself and not give a piece of myself to just anyone who showed me the slightest interest. I was really careful when it came to boys.. No one even held my

Angelina’s POVI turn around to face him because I can’t take this anymore.He was going to hurt me to get the truth anyway. And even after I tell him the truth he’s going to hurt me nonetheless.The way I see it, it will hurt either way, so might as well get it over with, right?He must have seen the look of defeat and immense pain on my face, because he starts walking in my direction and I let him.He stands right in front of me and I don’t flinch, recoil, or look away.He says softly “Why in the world won’t you tell me who you are Angel? What are you afraid of exactly?”I take a deep breath, the last deep breath I’ll ever be able to take most probably. His softness was appreciated compared to the dangerous, feral look he was giving me before when he asked me the same question earlier.“Afraid you won’t believe me anymore” I said vulnerably the tears pooled in my eyes, partially obscuring my view of him.When they spilled down my cheeks and I could see him clearly again, I saw the s

Angelina’s POVLucas finally released his harsh hold on my arms as he turned around to lock the front door with the key he took from Mathew earlier.Why he was locking it if we were just going to talk? I had a very, sinking, bad, awful, dreadful feeling about the answer to that question.He turned back around and addressed me strictly “Move inside”I pursed my lips and started walking inside the house into the living room that was open with the small dining room on the opposite side.“Sit down” he ordered behind me when I stopped in the middle of the living room.I moved and sat at the single couch, by the unlit fire place. I was freezing cold and I wasn’t talking about the actual cold dread of being left alone with Lucas, I was honestly freezing cold, and shaking like a leaf with the whole chattering teeth and shivering heart. Our little altercation outside got me soaking wet as I ended up being the one pinned down right on the snowy, freezing ground.He moved silently and thankfully

Lucas’s POVAs I sat there watching her tell her story, there was no part of me that even doubted the truthfulness and honesty behind every word.Not even my psycho side doubted that sincerity and that immense pain that was pouring out of her like a flood, hitting me and hurting me alongside her.This time, her story made total sense. There were no gaps. No question marks.It was finally her truth.But she was positive that I wouldn’t believe her anymore because of her previous lies to me and more importantly, because she’s Zade’s daughter.She knew how much I want the son of a bitch to pay for everything, and the only reason she kept her mouth shut all this time, the only reason she was scared out of her mind about her identity coming to light was because she knew I will use her in any way I can to get back at him, regardless of her innocence. Regardless of the fact that this girl had absolutely nothing in common with him. She never even met him.I was so fucking lost on what to do h

On The Border Acknowledgement
My first thank you is always to you amazing readers. Your continuous support gives me so much encouragement to keep writing new books. I hope this book also reached your expectations and left a good impression in all of you. Like I always say, I really wrote the story right from the depth of my heart and put myself in all the characters’ places in order to convey the right feelings and words to reach you. I hope you were satisfied with how it ended, not just for Lucas and Angelina, but for the whole Snow family. Having said that, the end doesn’t always mean that there will be no story left to tell. Jacob Snow is as intriguing and complex as the rest of his brothers, if not more. It’s not certain for me yet, but I’m considering writing his story and starting it just before the events of the epilogue took place; specifically from the day he met, interviewed, and hired his personal assistant who’s secretly annoyed and exasperated with his stoic and harsh personality but is forced to pu

Five Years LaterLucas’s POVI wake up to the sound of my little munchkin Hope, sucking; or rather slurping, on her mother’s left nipple fervently while her deep blue eyes were gazing adorably at Angel.She takes breast feeding to a whole other level. This baby is as obsessed with her mother’s nipples almost as much as I am.At one year old, you’d think she would have started preferring real food over milk, but no. You don’t mess with her mother’s milk and keep her away from it or god help you, she will bite your head off, literally. I would know, she is my little girl after all. She has the same crazy genes all right. She keeps us on our toes all the freaking time, and she’s not even walking and talking yet.The same thing cannot be said about Isaac, Alex and Jenny’s son. He’s almost ten months old and you can already tell the chubby little bastard has his father’s tame and wise attitude. He’s an angel compared to my girl. But he also doesn’t take shit from anybody. You mess with him

Three Weeks LaterLucas’s POV“Angelina, you’re the purest angel that god has sent my way during my darkest moments. You’re the light that shined through the black hole that was enveloping my heart, the missing piece of my heart I didn’t even know I was missing until I met you. I never thought I would ever fall in love someday. It wasn’t within my plans. Mostly because I knew and accepted who I am, and I was sure that no girl can ever put up with my crazy, screwed up head and stick with me long enough to even fall in love with me. My heart instantly recognized you from the moment I laid eyes on you. I tried to deny it, push it away, hell I even thought my head got completely fried and that I went full on crazy because you awakened feelings in me that I’ve never felt before. It scared the hell out of me. And after I accepted that I was falling head over heels for you, after I embraced it and welcomed it because nothing felt better than those feelings you ignited in me, I was scared as

Lucas’s POVI sit by her bed side for hours without moving. Holding her hand tightly, not willing to let her out of my sight. She slept the entire time, not moving by an inch. The doctor did say it will take a few hours for her to regain consciousness, but still, I worried.Each member of my family came inside briefly to check on us. My mom tried to get me to take some rest, go drink something warm, or eat something then come back. But I adamantly refused to move from my place.Eventually I made them all return to Snow. They were already tired and it was a very long day… for everyone.I promised them that I will call as soon as she wakes up to let them know.“Come on baby, don’t torture me further. Please… show me those magical blue eyes and that heart throbbing smile. Let me hear that angelic voice and extinguish the fire burning me alive” I whispered softly, in a pleading tone.I kissed her hand softly, over and over again, relishing in the warmth of her skin. I let my other hand pl

Lucas’s POV“Lucas!” Alex was gripping me tightly, trying to calm me down, and prevent me from damaging my hands which were pretty banged up already, but I couldn’t be controlled, not right now. I was a raging beast, ready to rip apart anything within my reach.“Take him outside. He can’t stay here. I’ll call you if any updates arrive” I heard mom tell Alex emotionally.“Come on, Lucas. Let’s go buddy” Alex said soothingly as he lifted me up with David supporting me from the other side.My voice got hoarse from all the screaming and growling and it became just raspy, low-pitched, whimpers full of pain, internal suffering, and heartbreak.I let them drag me without paying attention to where they were taking me.They sat me down on a wide bench outside the hospital and sat on either sides of me.“She’s the bravest girl I’ve ever met” said Alex sincerely next to me. I tore my gaze from the ground and looked sideways to see him staring at me intensely.“And because of that braveness, you

Lucas’s POVI felt it right away.Her body relaxed completely, her head rested against my chest, and her breathing got cut off in the middle of my kiss.“No, no, NO!” I began panicking, my heart threatening to explode with unbearable pain.“ANGEL!” I screamed out, touching her face with my shaky hand, unable to believe that she was gone, ripped away from my arms.The car screeched to a halt abruptly and the man driving our car got out quickly and sprinted inside the ER to alert some doctors.I looked at my mom in shock and saw her tears falling down in a heavy flow.“Mom….” I whispered in agony.She shook her head and said emotionally “Stay strong Lucas. She’s not gone yet, they’re going to bring her back. She’s tough and she’s going to fight like hell to come back to us, to you. Don’t you give up yet, you hear me?”My side of the door opened and in a matter of seconds, she was taken away from my arms onto a stretcher and hauled inside into one of the ER rooms.Alex took Jenny into an

Lucas’s POVIt didn’t take very long for Alex to distract the man with words enough to let me sneak behind him without raising his awareness, twist the hand he was threatening my mother’s life with, and shoot him in the head with a clean shot all at the same time. He died before he even hit the ground.Had it been a few months ago, I would have never killed him so easily just like that. No, I would have spent hours making him pay viciously for the thirty minutes of terror he caused my family to go through, for laying his filthy hands on any of them, for hurting my angel. I would have made him beg me to kill him and I would have eventually granted him that wish in the most painful way possible.But I didn’t have time to do any of that now. And frankly, for the first time, ever, my mind was at rest about that. The mind that craved pain, screams, and blood of all those who dared to cross my path in the wrong way, was urging me to let things go and save the only person that matters more t

Lucas’s POVAfter about ten minutes of driving in the same direction, Alex said intensely “Hurry up, they drifted off the main road. Ten minutes from here. It looks like they’re headed to Tok”“Tok? They kidnapped them so they could take them to a town thirty minutes from Snow? How dumb are these people?” I asked incredulously.“Actually the exact opposite” said David tightly from behind.“How is that?” I scoffed.“They made sure they couldn’t be traced, they must have switched cars, threw away all the phones, without counting Jenny’s smart move, by the time we started worrying why they haven’t arrived home yet, would it ever occur to you to search for them right under our noses, in the nearby towns? Or would you just assume they took them as far away as they could? Whoever is behind this wants to make a joke out of us. When he finally makes himself known to us and contacts us, he’ll brag about how he fooled us and did this right in our territory without us knowing anything about it”

Lucas’s POV*Forty Five Minutes Earlier*“Any honeymoon destination suggestions?” I asked Alex and David, looking for a little help planning my honeymoon with Angelina after our wedding.She had one week of vacation from college and it couldn’t have come up at a better time.We were all gathered around in the warehouse office waiting for a new shipment to arrive through the border. Mathew and the other men were out there ready to receive it.We had some time to spare and I tried to ask for their opinions.“If she hasn’t been anywhere other than Seattle, you can take her anywhere and she will love it no matter where it is, as long as she has you by her side, the destination isn’t that essential” said Alex softly.He looked to be speaking from experience and I decided to take his word for it.When Alex and Jenny spent a month and a half away from home, I noticed how they came back even more in love with each other than before. And they were extremely madly in love even before they left,
