Alex’s POV“What is it, Alex?” my mom asked warily.I took a deep breath and said tightly “David….. He’s not really Stefan’s son. He adopted him when he was six months old from an orphanage”The room fell into silence as they all tried to make sense of what I said.“Why would he say that? What if he was lying?” my mom eventually managed to ask.I looked at Lucas and nodded my head for him to tell her how Stefan came to confessing that shocking admission.“I pressed him about it in the car. Kept telling him what an asshole he was; among other things, for not even caring if we killed his son or not. I guess I kind of pissed him off enough to finally cause a genuine reaction. He said he hopes that bastard is rotting in hell right now, for he was exactly that to him, a bastard and nothing more. Then he proceeded to tell us that he was having problems conceiving a baby and when he realized that it wasn’t happening, he adopted one. According to him, he knew he will eventually need to have s
Alex’s POVLucas inspects David for the longest time.It’s safe to say I have no idea what he’s thinking right now, and his silence was not a very reassuring sign.Suddenly, he gets up and drags David outside by his elbow, his face emotionless, not giving anything away.Mathew and I follow behind frantically trying to see what my crazy brother is trying to do.He drags him over towards the gate, where three men were standing guards there.“Give me your gun Sebastian” Lucas orders strictly.The guard complies right away, handing him the gun instantly.He let go of David and spat out “Kneel”David kneels before him in surrender, even though his limbs were visibly trembling.“Lucas” I say in a tight tone, trying to get his attention because apparently he lost his grip on his self control and threw everything I asked him to do before we came inside Matthew’s house through the freaking window.He turned to me frantically and said “He wanted my forgiveness brother,” then he turned back towa
Alex’s POVNight descends as we sit in the living room, in front of the fire place.We were waiting for Lucas and David to come back from their trip to Yukon.I made sure that Lucas keeps me updated on their location consistently.I was worried some of Lord Z’s men might be lurking around Stefan’s house.Lucas assured me that there was no one watching the place.He made sure to inform me when they were heading back here and that it might take longer to come back because they might stop along the way, in case David wanted some time alone to gather his thoughts after he tells him the truth.So we were all just waiting, hoping the kid is able to put himself back together after he hears everything from Lucas.I still wasn’t sure that he was the best man to break that news to him, but what can I say? He was stubborn and determined to let himself handle it.I was also itching to know if they gathered any useful information that can help us end that man.By the time they arrived, the clock w
TWO WEEKS LATERAlex’s POVIt has been two weeks since we killed Stefan Snow. One of the two responsible men for murdering my father.Two weeks of peace and quiet settling over Snow. And I wanted to keep it that way for a very long time.I had made some changes during that period. Changes that will ensure that nothing gets past our borders without me knowing about it ever again.I assigned four of my people to sit in the old warehouse and keep monitoring the live feed from the hidden security cameras on all border entrances.They were given six hour shifts and they were told to switch with their pairs so they don’t get bored out of their minds in that place.They were sworn to secrecy, never to reveal anything about their assignments, not even to their families or loved ones.Up until now, we haven’t heard any response from Damian Zade.But I was certain that it was far from being over between us.He was up to something and I hoped that by the time Lucas and David were back, we would
Jenny’s POVThis man is so perfect.I can’t believe this man is mine.I still can’t believe how amazing, caring, passionate, and loving he is.How happy he makes me everyday.A while ago, I blamed him for taking my dreams away, for plunging me down in the darkness, and I loathed him so much for it.Ever since I started seeing his true personality, his true character, ever since we both decided to give each other a chance and showed love to each other, I had all my dreams back, and all my darkness turned into bright exploding lights of colorful fireworks.There is not a day where I don’t miss his scent, his voice, his presence, even if he was sitting right next to me, I miss him. I always yearn for his touch, his kisses, his love making and his intense claim over my body.Every day my love for him increases and blossoms and I don’t think it will ever reach a point where it will stop growing.We had just finished speaking a video call with my mom.Mom was so thrilled that I was happy no
Jenny’s POV“What do you want?” I ask through gritted teeth.My heart was about to explode out of fear for Megan and fear for what Simon was up to.“It’s pretty simple really and yet very crucial that you stick to it to the dot without trying anything heroic or your friend takes a bullet through her skull. I want you to leave your phone in the house and meet me outside. Your friend’s car is two miles away from here, you can see it once you step out of the gates. Don’t tell anyone about me and don’t try to call Alex or send him a message because I will instantly find out, I have someone watching their every move right now. You have exactly two minutes, if I don’t see you after that, goodbye Megan”Before I could utter a word he hung up on me.“Shit!” I whispered and threw my phone on the bed.My whole body was trembling at this point.He was fucking serious.I didn’t have a second to waste on thinking things through and coming up with a plan to save us. There was no way to tell anyone
Jenny’s POVThe first thing that seeps through my awareness is the freezing coldness of the atmosphere.I was uncontrollably shaking, my teeth were chattering.I’m instantly aware of what happened to me.It felt like only minutes ago, I saw a man shooting Simon without any hesitation, even though I was sure it has been a lot more than minutes.The second thing I become aware of before I open my eyes is that I can’t move.My hands and feet were bound. I was sitting on a chair, my hands painfully pinned behind my back, while my feet were tied up to the legs of the chair.The smell of smoking was filling up the place, where ever that place was.God does Alex know what happened yet?Is he looking for me?A part of me wanted him to come right now and rescue me but another part didn’t. It was a trap. They were going to kill them all.I finally gathered the courage to open my eyes and take a look at my surroundings.I seemed to be in an empty large warehouse.Empty of any material that is, b
Alex’s POVAs soon as I said those words, I felt like my heart was exploding inside my chest, like my lungs stopped functioning, and my tongue felt numb and very heavy inside my mouth.Tears sprang to my eyes and I had to do everything in my power not to scream at the top of my lungs and take back every fucking word I just said. Not to vow to skin that man alive for daring to attempt and touch what was mine, for even looking at her so dirtily, for merely saying her name with his fucking mouth.I was shaking with rage, delirious with vengeance, seeing red and no other color.It was the first time I ever felt this blood thirsty to kill every last one of those men hiding inside that warehouse.The warehouse was just on the outskirts of Yukon.We were positioned right outside it.All my clan.All two hundreds of us.They stood no chance of getting out of this alive, no chance at all.Kidnapping and threatening me with Jenny was a very low blow on their part. It was the last fucking mistak
