On The Border 66
Lucas’s POVI called Mathew when I was two minutes close to home to open the iron gate for me to pass through it.Before I left, I asked the three guys standing guards outside to go to the border and stay there to participate in taking down Zade and his men in a few hours. It was an excuse to make them leave so they don’t see Alex and Jenny stepping out of the trunk.I parked the car outside the house and got out, opening the trunk and letting them out.Mathew came running after closing the gate and hugged Alex emotionally, he smiled at Jenny and nodded his head at her respectfully.“Hope my brother didn’t drive you too crazy for the past month and a half” said Alex sarcastically.“He had his moments but it was all under control” he said with a wide smile.I rolled my eyes at that, right!We walked ahead to the front door and just as we reached it, Sara opened the door with a wide grin on her face.We hurried inside into the warm house as they hugged Sara, then we entered the living r

Angelina’s POV “I mean I was no angel either, I did try to provoke him with my words, but still he was a very hateful person in my eyes. And Lucas? Man Lucas had murder plastered plain on his face for me the second my eyes met his in that living room. He scared the shit out of me. The only nice people in this house were Diana and Sara. April was still trying to get over the death of her father so we didn’t really interact much at first” she said softly. “How did all that change all of a sudden? I mean the way Lucas described your relationship with Alex made it seem like you two are soul mates. And the softness I heard last night when he was talking to you made me feel like he adores you like a little sister. How can they be the same people you just told me about?” I asked in a baffled tone. “Well, just like I had a presumed idea of them, they had the same thing about me. Jacob killed my father, right in front of me. I saw him come out of his office with the gun in his hand. But I ne

Angelina’s POVJenny held my hands softly and said gently “Isn’t there any part of you that understands the reason behind his reluctance to share that secret with you? A part that is able to give him, and even you a second chance here? Diana feels absolutely devastated that you’re insisting on leaving today. She doesn’t want you to put yourself in danger just because you’re mad at them. They really like you Angelina. And for the record, I do too. Even though this is the first time we’ve seen each other, but I feel like we’re so much alike. Do you know that I threatened him that I will come to Snow myself and kick his ass if he doesn’t apologize to you for calling you a hooker and almost treating you like one even though he knew you weren’t? I gave him hell for that stupid behavior of his. Oh and I cannot describe how much I laughed my ass off when he told me you almost unmanned him! You had my total respect right at that moment” she chuckled and I couldn’t help myself from smiling at

Lucas’s POVI could sense her answer to mom’s request before she opened her mouth.I knew I have to take plan B from the second my eyes met Jenny’s and I saw her slightly shake her head to tell me that her talk wasn’t very helpful to change her mind.I was not even counting on it. I knew how stubborn she can be, add in how extremely betrayed and angry she feels because of me, and I knew she’d want to leave just to get away from me. But hell if I’m going to let that happen and grant her that wish.She lifted up her head and looked at mom in anguish as she said gravely “I’m really sorry Diana. But I cannot stay here. I’ve already made my decision and I’m afraid there’s no going back from that. I know you mean well, and I know you’re scared for me, but I can take care of myself”I resisted the urge to snort loudly and contradict those words. She cannot take care of her self, not against Zade’s men. If someone manages to escape both traps we set up here and in Toronto, they’ll be coming f

Angelina’s POVSaying goodbye to Diana and April was soul destroying. Even though they both withheld the truth from me and I was so mad at them at first, I forgave them and shifted all my blame on Lucas instead.“Don’t abandon training okay? Maybe David can help you improve until it’s safe for you to enroll in Fairbanks, he seemed pretty decent” I said to her as I held her hands softly.She nodded her head and I saw her tears start to descend down her face. I couldn’t stand to see her crying like this, so I hugged her instead.She whispered in my ear regretfully “I’m so sorry I hid the truth from you, Angelina. I really liked you like a sister and hurting you was the last thing that I wanted to do to you”“I know April, I forgive you and I love you just like a real sister if I ever had one” I said back softly in her ear as well.“You do, you have me Angelina. Even if we don’t end up seeing each other again, you’ll always have a sister here” she said emotionally.I tightened my hug to

Angelina’s POV“What the hell are you saying to me right now?” I asked in a baffled, angry tone.He wasn’t phased by my outburst as he answered calmly “Just the truth. That’s the reality of the situation, Angelina. You’re his daughter, you have every right to inherit that money, have a safe life, hire as many men to protect you as you want, and avoid the danger that’s waiting for you if you go on your own”I snapped at him darkly “Stop saying I’m his daughter, Alex! I don’t care who the hell you are, I will fucking punch you if you relate me with that man ever again! I have no idea why you’re saying those things to me, but if this is some kind of test for my loyalty because you think that I’m going to be a threat to your family, then with all due respect, you can go screw yourself! I don’t need to prove anything to you because like I’ve been saying so many times since last night, I’m leaving this town and never coming back here again. And whether you want to believe me or not, I would

Lucas’s POVWe ride in the car just the two of us with me in the driver’s seat of course.We leave behind everyone on that border line and head for the cemetery where Alex and Angel must be already waiting for us.Zade was thoroughly searched for any hidden weapons before he got into my car. He was smart enough not to carry anything.Halfway there, my phone rings and I pick it up, expecting the call from my people in Canada.“Give me the good news, Rick” I said firmly.“It’s all taken care of, no survivors left behind including the man you had in your pocket” said Rick excitedly. He was always a little too eager to shed some blood, just like me. And that’s why we get along the most.“That’s great, I knew you were the perfect man for the job. Now do me a favor and call David to tell him what you just told me. I have my hands a little full right now, and come home as soon as you can” I said merrily and hung up the phone.We arrived to the edge of the cemetery and parked right next to Al

Angelina’s POVI looked between Alex and Lucas in bafflement. They were really offering me a chance to kill the man they’ve been hunting down for months trying to kill him and avenge their father’s death. It left me with so much more respect for them.I looked down at the knife I was clutching tightly and a little shakily inside the palm of my hand, then looked back up at Lucas.He was giving me that determined, supportive, and encouraging look to do as I wish in any way to take down my haunting nightmare, the demon that keeps appearing in my dreams, turning my sleep into an endless cycle of agony and pain.But like I thought before, I wasn’t a murderer, pretty far from it considering how almost every cell in my body was screaming at me to shove that knife deep into his heart and watch the light go off in those deep blue eyes that are painfully a replica of mine, while my heart was rooting me in place and preventing me from moving a muscle.I handed the knife back to Lucas and said in

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,
