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
Alex’s POVDavid was shielding Lucas with his body just before a bullet hit him in the back.Lucas had his gun aimed and shot the injured guy who just tried to shoot him before David jumped in front of him. the guy went down with a bullet to his head.“David!” Lucas called out frantically as he held on to him and checked his injury.Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to wear our bullet proof vests because of how urgently we had to catch up with Jenny. We barely had time to grab our guns and extra back ups.Blood was spilling down his shirt, drenching it.The bullet was lodged in the right side of his lower back.“Dammit David!” Lucas shouted in rage.There was no response from David, he passed out.Jenny was still clutching me tightly and shaking violently.I lifted her up again and shouted at the others to help carry David back to the car and press on his wound so he doesn’t bleed out.Snow was merely twenty five minutes away from here.I got in the back of one of the SUVs, with Jenn
Alex’s POVI arrived at home and reassured Sara and April that David was out of surgery and that his condition wasn’t critical before I went into my room.Mom was sitting beside her, playing with her hair.She was still asleep.Thankfully, they cleaned her up and changed her clothes into comfortable baby blue, cotton pants and t-shirt.Mom stood up when she saw me and I told her about David before she asked me.She visibly relaxed and I could tell how worried she was for him.“Did she wake up at all?” I asked her.She shook her head and said in a low voice “No, she never woke up but her diabetes is stable, I checked her watch frequently. She’s probably exhausted from all the fear she went through today. She needs you the most right now. It’s a good thing she didn’t wake up yet because the first person she’d want to see is you, Alex”I nodded my head and clenched my jaw tensely.She left the room after that even though I could tell she had many questions on her mind, but she let me be
Jenny’s POVAfter a long steamy shower together, we finally left our room and joined the rest of the family for dinner.David was the only one missing and it was at that moment that I remembered him taking a bullet for Lucas.“How’s David?” I asked Lucas warily.“He’s okay, I tried to get him discharged but the doctor said he had to stay at least for tonight for more observation” said Lucas gently.I could see it in his eyes even though he didn’t say it. He was very touched by David’s sacrifice.These two will never grow apart again after today.“How are you Jenny? We were so scared when we realized what happened” said Diana gravelly.I could almost hear the hint of reproach in her tone at the move I made behind their backs by sneaking out without telling anyone.Before I could explain myself, Alex jumped to my rescue “She was in a very tough situation and didn’t have any time to alert anyone mom. Megan’s life was at stake, she didn’t have much of a choice”Diana nodded and said emoti
Alex’s POV I have no idea what happened. That was the first coherent thought that popped into my head prior to opening my eyes. I knew what the last thing I saw and felt was before I blacked out, but I have no idea what happened next I mean. Am I alive? Am I dead? Am I going to wake up in hell now? Or am I going to end up in heaven somehow because come on god! I never spilled any innocent blood. All the people I’ve killed had it coming. If we’re being truthful here, I helped you recycle a bit, didn’t I? Or am I going to wake up to complete darkness and discover that there is really nothing on the other side but unending blackness that leads to nothing? What if I’m still alive? What if Jenny is dead? Please god don’t punish me this way. Don’t take her away from me and let me live soulless on this earth, because without her I am nothing. I’m worth nothing. Without her I can’t live. I just…….can’t. “Alex, can you hear me? Open your eyes” I hear Lucas’s voice calling to me.
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,
