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

Lucas’s POV“Stop the car” she said coldly.“Why? Changed your mind already? Damn I’m good!” I said sarcastically.She shot me a glare and said through gritted teeth “You’re a smug asshole but you’re not that good. You’re not driving me anywhere Lucas! You’re going to stop the car right now, call Mathew over here, and let me ride with him to Fairbanks”“Why don’t you want me to drive you then? Afraid I might actually convince you to change your mind and come back home with me? Why is that such a bad thing?” I asked tauntingly.“You won’t change my mind!” she snapped at me.“Then it shouldn’t matter to you who’s going to drive you” I said smugly.“It matters because the whole reason I’m leaving this town is to get away from you!” she screamed at me.“You can’t get away from me, I won’t let you” I said possessively.“What’s the point of driving two hours if you’re not going to let me go my own way in the end? Might as well go back and lock me up in Mathew’s house, you’ve had no problems
