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.
Alex’s POV FIVE DAYS LATER It’s been five fucking days and Jenny hasn’t woken up yet. Five fucking days of complete agony and torture. I was dying to hear her voice, look into her eyes, taste her tongue on mine. Five fucking days of no indication or sign of her planning to wake up from this. I was glued to her side for three days now. Constantly talking to her, calling for her, begging her, holding her hand, kissing her cheeks, and running my hand through her hair. Her condition was stable. Her gunshot wound was slowly healing without any complications. But she couldn’t breathe on her own. She was on a ventilator. My injuries were improving as well. My arm and thigh wounds were not that serious, but I had to use one crutch to support me so I don’t put a lot of pressure on my injured thigh. My stomach wound needed me to be more careful so I don’t rip my stitches or let them get infected, but I was managing fine. I was in pain but nothing beat the pain of seeing Jenny like t
