On The Border Chapter 60
Jenny’s POV I kept to myself the entire evening that day. I stayed in my room and didn’t get out of it, until dinner time. I was worried sick about what was going down tomorrow. And no matter how many promises Alex makes to me, and how confident he sounds about his plan, it’s still not enough to calm me down or reassure me. I was sure I will remain like this until it’s all over. I was a total jumble of nerves, and I decided to stay in my room and hide it from everyone else. It helped that no one bothered me after I came back from my walk with Alex. He also disappeared to get himself ready for tomorrow. I assumed he would tell Lucas at this point, or even his mother. But he said he can’t tell either of them until the last possible minute as to not alert David at all into warning his father. If it was up to me, I’d skip dinner all together and stay hidden in my room, I didn’t have any appetite in the first place. However, when Alex came back into the room and extended his hand

Alex’s POVI take him with me over to Mathew’s house.His house was a few feet away from ours, on the same land, but had the privacy David wanted.I knocked lightly on the door until Mathew opened it.He looked between us in confusion.“Can we borrow your house for a while Mathew? David and I have something private to talk about and we don’t want to be heard in our house” I said politely.“Sure Alex, the house is all yours, let me grab my coat” he said right away.He grabbed his coat from the nearby rack, put on his shoes, and left us all alone.I gestured for David to follow me inside.We settled in their small living room.He nervously sat in the middle of the long couch, while I sat right in front of him on their wooden coffee table.He seemed to be getting a last minute, second thoughts on saying whatever he wanted to say.I supported my arms on my thighs and leaned closer to him.“What do you want to talk about David? And why do you look like shit?” I asked tensely.He held his h

Alex’s POV I head back into the house and call for Mathew to meet me in the front yard. When we stand out of earshot from the house I take a serious tone and fill him in on the entire thing, including my entire plan. I watch his face turn from utter complete astonishment to an exploding rage. “I can’t believe the length he would go to just for leadership! Now it all makes sense! Why your father appointed you as the next leader instead of him. But, how did Isaac know not to trust him? Why didn’t he take his precautions and invited him to your wedding despite his suspicions?” “That’s the part I would do anything to ask him about” I said dryly. “Don’t tell me you will forgive David, Alex?” he asked incredulously. “He can never be forgiven Mathew. But whether his confession saved him from being killed along with his father, that I am not sure of. I’ll have to talk to Lucas and mom and see what they have to say about that” I said firmly. “Why are you telling me first, shouldn’t Luca

Alex’s POVWe spent the whole remaining time until the moment of the delivery, gathered around our biggest warehouse, preparing for the fight. All the men from the clan who were capable of handling a gun were given instructions and locations to hide until my signal.Each of us had different kinds of guns depending on their positions out there. We also packed extra ammo.I didn’t know how many people will be inside that truck, but I was sure they were a lot more than our supposed number that I conveyed to David’s father. He wouldn’t want to take any chances again and risk me or Lucas surviving that attack.When the clock was approaching go time, I took a moment to myself to call Jenny.I knew despite my repeated reassurances that she was burning a hole through the floor right about now.I was also worried about her health.I wanted to hear her cute girly voice as a good luck charm before I go all in guns blazing, check on her and the rest to make sure they are holding up okay, and let

Alex’s POVI let my men take care of the dead bodies and head back home with Lucas.It was time to lure Stefan back here and end this once and for all.If he’s in Yukon, it should take him less than an hour to be here.“Are we going to deal with this publicly or what?” asked Lucas curiously as he drove.“No, it’s a family thing. It stays in house” I said tightly.“I think we should make an example out of him” noted Lucas.“I wouldn’t mind that if we discovered it before Patrick Walker was killed for the wrong reason. But now if the Walkers find out that he was innocent of that accusation, they will become a headache on us again” I said firmly.“Innocent my ass! We all know he was working with Lord asshole behind our backs! Maybe he didn’t deliver the shooter himself, but he was in on it. He knew it was going down and he sat back and watched it happen!” roared Lucas in anger.“Yeah, I’m sure his clan will see it that way” I said dryly.I carry on to put an end to that argument “I don’t

Alex’s POVWhen Sara went to open the door, mom stood up and faced the entrance of the living room, her face blank not betraying a single emotion.Lucas and I were standing to the side of the room where he couldn’t notice us right away.I heard his foot steps approaching, saw his side profile as he rushed over to my mom and enveloped her in a hug.“Diana! I’m at a complete loss of words! I’m still not registering how all this happened!” he said frantically.Mom stood rigidly, not returning the hug.When he noticed that, he backed away and inspected her warily.“Neither are we, frankly” I said icily.He whirled to face us and I saw the blood drain from his face as it became pale and white as a sheet.“Alex! Lucas!...... Wait… I’m… confused” he whispered in shock.“What’s wrong?” I faked concern.“Mathew called me, he said you were all dead!” he regained his voice and said flatly.“Yeah, we know. We were there” I said simply.He looked at me for a while and I knew the instant he figured

Alex’s POVAt the mention of the word ‘cemetery’, Stefan’s face paled and his eyes went wide as he looked at me in fear for the first time since he was exposed.“Wait Alex…” he started to say shakily.I didn’t have any more time or patience within me to waste anymore; that last one I was already running low on, so I shoved him in front of me out of the living room as Lucas followed behind.He was trying to struggle as I pushed him out through the front door, so I held on to the back of his shirt and walked him towards the car while Lucas went ahead of me and got into the driver’s seat.“Alex, you’re not listening to me. I can help yo…”I held the back of his neck and knocked his forehead on the side of the car brutally.Het let out an agonized scream that made me a little satisfied and I shoved him into the back seat as I slid next to him.“Keep talking so I can keep hitting you shamelessly” I threatened darkly.That seemed to shut him up as Lucas drove out of the house.I could feel

Alex’s POV We finish burying Stefan and head back home. By that time, I was exhausted as hell and wanted nothing more than a shower to wash away all the feelings that were threatening to overwhelm me. It was almost midnight as Lucas parked the car in front of the house. “Have you decided what to do with David?” Lucas asked a little uncertainly. I don’t know why, but I got the sense he no longer held on to that anger he was feeling for him before. Almost like he didn’t want me to kill him too. “No. And I’m too drained to think about his fate right now. I just want to wash away all that dirt and put my head on my pillow to sleep” I said tiredly. “Put your head on the pillow? Yeah sure. I bet your pillow is called Jenny and by sleep on it you mean….” He started to say mockingly while I cut him off in exasperation. “Shut up, god! You’re unbearable sometimes and let’s not mention, you have the weirdest sense of humor I’ve ever heard. ‘Enjoy the barbecue’? Where the hell did that com

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,
