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
Lucas’s POVI nod at the guys standing guards on the town’s official border out of Snow and they let me pass through right away.I pick up my phone and dial one of the few luxurious hotels in Fairbanks that I used to stay in whenever I went there for some fun time or business.“Hello, Lucas Snow speaking, I would like to reserve a suite on the last floor please. One bedroom” I said firmly.Angelina’s head whipped in my direction and I could sense the heavy weight of her glare on me.“I’m arriving in two hours, so if you could get the suite ready upon my arrival that would be great….thanks” I said with a slight smile I couldn’t resist from tugging on my lips as I hung up the phone.“If you think I’m staying with you in the same bedroom, you’re fucking delusional” she snapped at me.“I can’t let you slip past me and run off on your own now, can I? We’re staying together in the same room so I can keep my eyes on you, you can have the couch because I’m definitely calling dibs on the comfy
Angelina’s POVI was gawking at the sexy, heart throbbing beauty that is Lucas Snow as he sang heartily to one of the songs.Dammit! Even his voice is amazing.I’m not sure he was aware of me staring at him with my mouth a little too open for my own good. And thank god he didn’t, because that would be embarrassing, him catching me checking him out like this with that dazzled look on my face.He would have never let me live it down.He was completely taken by the song he was into, trapped in his own world.I find myself liking that version of him. He looked so young and without a care in the world. He wasn’t a psychopath, a killer, a crazy, annoying, smug….who am I kidding? I fell for him in all his freaking conditions!He exasperated me to no end, but he also awoken feelings in me I never thought I’d be able to feel, let alone feel so damn fast after all that trauma I’ve been through.The song ended and I was quick to wipe off any trace of my obsessive admiration of him and look ahead
Lucas’s POVI could see how much it bothered her, my past. I was looking into her gemlike, deep blue eyes and seeing everything clear as a crystal. Her uncertainty, self doubt, jealousy, and shyness.“There is no why Angel. The heart wants what the heart wants. The second I laid my eyes on you for the first time, my heart told me you’re the one I can never spend a second without from that moment onward” I said tenderly.It was true, my heart felt it before I had time to register it back then. I fought against it, refused it, thought I was going crazy, and tried my best not to let anything about her mess with my head. But eventually, I accepted what my heart was trying to tell me all along.Oh how much I wanted to kiss those parted, sexy lips. How much I wanted to devour her wholly right here in this elevator.But I couldn’t make a damn move. Not without her consent. Without her admission that this thing between us, is the real deal.“Tell me, Angel. What did your heart tell you when y
Angelina’s POVWith nothing better to do and no option to leave the room to watch tv or something, I settled in on the long leather couch.I wasn’t going to ditch him and disappear. He looked pretty deeply asleep and I probably could move that chair, unlock the door, and leave without waking him up despite his claim that his hearing is super sensitive, but I wasn’t going to try it.I had nowhere to go. No money to buy myself a ticket out of here, if I don’t count the credit card Diana gave to me before I left the house. But I can’t exactly use that because Lucas would be able to track me down quite easily through it. And hiding in Fairbanks was not an ideal option either. He probably knew the city like the back of his hand.A part of me wanted to try escaping from him and feel the thrill of him trying to catch up to me. Maybe I could try that. Pretty sure it wouldn’t last long though.I laid down and tried to plan through my escape from him, where I would go, how far I’ll make him cha
Lucas’s POVHer body was still trembling in my tight embrace from fright about that damn nightmare I just woke her up from.I had opened my eyes with my heart up my throat from the shrill screaming that woke me up in the first place. My first thought, someone was attacking her, someone found us and was trying to kidnap her again. But when I sprung out of bed in a blinding speed that momentarily made my head spin, I realized that she was screaming in her sleep.The thought of losing me and my mom was so terrifying to her, she just asked me to let her go and go back to Snow. Well, not going to happen without her right by my side.“If I’m going back, you’re coming with me, it’s not even up for discussion. I told you before, I’m not letting you go on your own. Keep denying me my second chance, keep fighting your own heart, I won’t push you further you have my word. As painful as it will be, I’m willing to give up on my desire to be with you like I want to and keep our relationship friendl
