Lisa's POV:"It's okay, princess." Alex murmurs, "Everything is gonna be okay.""Are you going to leave me too, Daddy?" Wren whimpers, burying her face deeper into his chest."Of course not, Princess." he sighs, "Of course not.""I never want you to leave me, daddy." she answers, sniffling."I won't. I promise you, I won't. I will always be here for you." Alex promises, wiping her cheeks free of tears."You have to leave now. Don't you daddy?" Wren cries, tightening her hold on his neck."Only for a little while, baby." Alex whispers, "I'll be back soon. I will leave you with Uncle Simon.""No!" I screech, stepping forward."What? Why?" Alex asks, furrowing his eyebrows."U-Um...I-I'll take her. You should just let Simon have fun." I stutter."Lisa, you're coming with me and I can't take her where we're going. You know that." Alex sighs, running his hand through his hair."No, it's fine Alex. I don't mind watching her. You can go by yourself. I'll stay here." I shrug, taking Alex's ha
Lisa's POV:"What the hell did you do?" Alex spits."W-what?" I stutter, backing away slightly."What the hell did you do to my daughter?" he growls his eyes turning dark."I-I don't k-know what you're t-talking about..." I trail off, stumbling backwards.Alex's eyes darken to soulless pits that send a chill through my spine. He cocks his head to the side, a sickening smirk taking over his features."You want to play dumb, mut?" he spits, raising a threatening hand.Glaring at his fist, I throw my shoulders back."What are you gonna do, Alex? Hit me?" I taunt, stepping towards him, "Go ahead. I know you've been aching to do it again."An unknown emotion flickers through his eyes and he drops his hand."Just tell me what you did, Lisa." he whispers, "I know very well that you heard our conversation on the stairs. Please just tell me what you did.""I'm s-sorry." I sigh, a tear slipping down my cheek."Why?" he snaps, all previous emotion gone, "What did you do that you have to be sorry
Lisa's POV:"What about the body, Lisa?" Alex hisses as we exit the house through the sliding glass door."Get somebody else to do it." I shrug, turning towards the pool.The familiar prick hits my eyes as I see all of the women in the pool wearing, what has to be, the skimpiest bikinis that they could find. A growl slips past my lips as their eyes move towards my mate. All eyes flick to mine and widen in horror at the sight. I am positive that my eyes are red. Every female averts there eyes and look at each other sheepishly."Calm down there, tiger." Alex whispers in my ear."I'm not a tiger," I snap, hitting his chest, "I'm a wolf.""Yeah, a small one." he snickers."Don't make fun of me!" I screech, walking away from him."Babe, I'm sorry. I was only joking." he laughs, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.I lean my head back against his shoulder and let out a tiny giggle."But seriously for a second." he whispers in my ear, "What about the body?""Like I said
Lisa's POV:I never knew it was possible to have such powerful feelings towards someone that was not my mate. I didn't love him, far from it actually, but I held a certain corner of my heart for Alex's family. They were my family too after all. The only family that I actually did have. So of course I cared and inadvertently made Alex jealous.I had dropped to my knees in front of Sebastian and pulled his head into my lap. He continued to convulse, my presence was no help to him.I hear a growl behind me and Alex snaps, "Get the fuck out of the way. Back up everyone!"Looking behind me, I see the crowd instantly part and a woman runs through. She attempts to take Seb's head from my lap, but I let out a low snarl. She removes her hands with wide eyes. I did not know who she was, but there was no way in hell that she was touching Sebastian in the state that he was in."Babe," I hear, as Alex wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me away from him, "She's the pack doctor."I relax back i
Lisa's POV:"K-Katherine?" I stutter, coming to the realization that this woman did not know the tragic news of her daughter's passing."Where the hell is she? What have you done to her?!" she screeches.Alex cocks his head to the side and steps forward threateningly.Maneuvering my body in front of his I reply, "Mam, your daughter is not here. We have not done anything."Alex places his arm around my waist and I lean back into him, resting my head on his chest. His warmth consumes me and I smile slightly at the small tingle that runs over the exposed strip of midriff that his hand brushes against."Do you think this is funny?" Katherine's mother screams."No, mam. I apologize, I was just calming my mate down before he did something that we both would regret." I apologize, stepping out of Alex's arms, but remaining between them, "Your daughter is Katherine correct?""Yes," she spits."You didn't hear, did you?" Alex mumbles, quirking up an eyebrow."Hear what?!" she shouts, tapping he
Lisa's POV:'Did I hear her correctly?' I think to myself."Lisa, are you listening?" Katherine's mom snaps, "You must not look into this. It is a lot more dangerous than any one here can handle. And most importantly, you can not tell the Alpha. If you do he will be determined to find and kill this monster. It is stronger than him, Lisa. Hell, stronger than me and I've been around for nearly 2,000 years.""2,000 years?" I gasp, "How could you survive that long?""Out of all the words I just said, that is the thing that you choose to focus on?" she sighs, shaking her head, "Goddess, children these days.""I'm sorry, mam. I just don't know how to process it." I apologize, "There is just a lot going through my head right now.""And I understand that, Lisa, but this is not something that you take lightly. This is a danger to all. This is the thing that Katherine was trying to warn us about. It is life or death." she explains, putting a hand on my shoulder.I look down at the ground in wor
Lisa's POV:"Wake up, sleeping beauty." someone sings.Peeling open my eyes, I groan as the bright light shines directly into my eyes. Slowly, my eyesight returns back to me and the light dims. Looking around, I spot Simon leaning against the bars of the cell."Do we have to do this every time? If you must talk to me can't you just come find me?" I grunt, sitting up."Lisa," he sighs mockingly, shaking his head, "Now where is the fun in that?"Rolling my eyes, I stare at him expectantly, "What would you like to threaten me with today?""Oh, now now Lisa, you know I don't threaten you. It's against bosses orders!" he smirks, "Matter a fact I have a message from him, he says that he can't wait to have you in his arms. His bride.""Bride?" I scoff, "Look I have no idea who the hell your boss is, but he is terribly mistaken.""Oo, don't let him hear you say that, he'll get angry and no one likes when boss gets angry. I believe those humans have a saying or two about it. What was it, hell
Lisa's POV:"What do you mean you don't?" I snap, glaring at him, "Alex it's on the fucking floor. It can't just show up.""Yeah well I didn't think that blood could be absorbed by the fucking ground, but that happened." Alex spits, turning towards the door, "I'm going to security. We have cameras everywhere."Jogging along behind him to match his long strides, I murmur, "I'm thinking that now would be the time to tell you something because we only have about 4 hours until someone dies.""No one will die," Alex spats, "I won't let them.""Well at this point I'm not sure you have control over that...." I trail off.He spins on his heel and stares me down, "What are you trying to say Lisa?""That...I don't know if we should be chasing this or trying to figure out who put that there. As far as we know it could be for the best." I mutter, looking away from his haunting gaze."For the best, Lisa..." he spits, "Are you kidding me right now? Something created a damn devil's trap in my house
*Lisa's Point of View - 5 years later*"Push!" the doctor squeals, "Come on, Luna! One more push!"With one final grunt, a piercing cry springs around the room."He's here!" the doctor cheers, as I collapse back onto my back.Alex grasps my hand and sends me a huge grin. After cutting the umbilical cord, the doctor walks up to us and gently places the baby on my chest."It's a boy," she grins with a gleam in her eye.I look up at Alex, tears filling my eyes."We did it," he whispers, placing a small kiss onto my lips.I let out a small sigh of content, holding my boys closer."I love you," I murmur, watching as my baby opens his eyes and looks up at both me and Alex.Deep green eyes shine back at us, causing us to smile deeply. The little boys lips turn up at the corners, giving us a toothless grin. It melts my heart, knowing that he knows exactly who we are."I love you too, babe." Alex whispers back, scooting into the bed beside me and wrapping an arm around my waist.My smile widen
Lisa's POV:My mouth drops open in disbelief."Y-you're alive?" I stutter, tears already filling my eyes."Of course, we're alive." my father snaps, "Do you really think that we'd kill ourselves?""It looked like it," I gasp, "You drove off a fucking bridge."They both shrug, looking bored, "We had to make it look believable."Alex is silent through all of this. I had forgotten that he knew nothing of this. His eyes meet mine with a questioning glare.I sent him a look and he glances back down to the ground. I didn't want to speak of this to him to anyone. I was completely embarrassed. My own parents didn't love me enough to keep me."Why?" I mumble, looking over at them, "I want to hear from you, both of you. Why did you do this?""We were tired, Lisa." my father answers, "We didn't want to be Omega's anymore and you stood in the way of that. You would have never gone along with this deal willingly, so we took drastic measures.""That is the complete opposite of what you did!" I scre
Lisa's POV:"Abror?" Gina gasps, squealing slightly as she falls to the ground."Who the hell is Abror?" Alex spits, "Adam, come on man, you better not be playing any tricks.""I'm not your brother." Adam mocks, "And as I repeat, I haven't been your brother in quite a long time.""H-how is that possible?" I stutter, inching slowly towards Gina and Alex.Abror's eyes find mine and he cocks his head to the side, "Ahh, my sweet, sweet Lisa. Let me tell you the story.""She's not your anything!" Alex screeches, pulling on his chains once again.He growls lowly, but immediately stills. It is almost as if he had forgotten that I felt his pain, as he stops pulling against the chains and looks at me.Adam does nothing, but snicker and continues, "Where shall I begin? Ahh, well his birth is as good as ever I suppose. Your parents were my enemy. My father, who had the throne before me, pinpointed your parents as an ultimate threat. I'm sure you heard about the battle of the Kings, but I'll expl
Lisa's POV:Panic strikes my core as I watch Alex's head lull to the side. I knew he wasn't dead, but it wouldn't be long before he was."Why are you doing this!" I screech, pulling against the invisible restraints."I told you before, Lisa." The demon bellows, "I have my orders and I must abide by them. I was ordered to kill the threat and here I am, killing the threat."She snickers as she turns towards Alex. A scream leaves my lips as she tightens the chains around him and a cry of pain leaves his lips unconsciously. It feels that my heart is torn in two. If your mate is harmed it feels as if someone has driven a stake through your body."The King is almost here, Lisa." The demon grins, spinning on her heel."I don't care about the King!" I scream, "I care about Alex.""Mm," she hums, "Then we'll just have to destroy him then."My eyes begin to sting and I push myself to use my powers."No, no, no." Katherine grins, wagging her finger.The stinging pain in my chest is apparent now
Lisa's POV:Alex and I walk up the stairs, hand in hand. Once we enter the room, I immediately collapse onto the bed as he begins to prepare for bed.His eyes widen and he speeds to my side, "What? What's happening?"I shake my head and continue, "It's quiet, Alex. Too quiet."His shoulders drop and he shakes his head, "I thought something was seriously wrong!""Where's Adam?" I question, my heart rate spiking."In his room." Alex replies in a duh tone, "I don't know.""I don't think that he's in his room." I mutter, "I can normally sense him. I don't feel anyone in that room. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen Adam in quite a few days."Alex rolls his eyes and snaps, "That doesn't mean anything. Maybe he went back to his pack.""No Alex, you don't understand." I huff, "That man has been glued to my arm for the past month and now all of a sudden he's gone? Especially when he claims that he wants to protect me?""It doesn't mean anything," he spits, turning away from me, "What?
Lisa's POV:"What?" Alex snaps, bringing me into his arms, "What do you mean he escaped?""He smoked out." I mutter, shrugging my shoulders, "I came to get Seb some blankets and I noticed the cellar door open. I went down and found Scott in Simon's cell. Then Simon slit Scott's throat, stepped out of the cell, and smoked out.""Are you okay?" Alex mumbles immediately, taking my face into his hands.I nod my head with a sigh."Do you think you can go back down there?" Alex mentions, giving me a concerned look.Without acknowledging his question, I grasp his hand, leading him down the concrete steps. I wasn't as effected by this as I should have been. The countless years of supernatural mishaps with my parents must be swamping my nerves.As we turn the corner, I glance down to where Simon fell and I froze. Alex runs into my back, but he quickly wraps an arm around my waist before I could topple over."What's wrong?" he asks, concern gracing his features as I look back at him.With a gul
*Lisa's Point of View*I sigh as I open the front door. This month has been hell. With Sebastian in the hospital, I didn't have anyone to talk to and spent my days seemingly alone. I was never physically alone, however, only mentally.After the night with Scott, Adam insisted on staying with us. There was something odd about Adam. It was almost as if I had met him before. He watched me like a hawk, maybe even more then Alex did.Every time I turned around, he was there. Whenever someone would question him about his tactics, he would simply insist that he watched me only because I was his sister-in-law. I could tell this was not true.There was something different about Adam, whatever it was, it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up whenever he was near me. I avoided him, to say the least, but Alex criticized me for it. He took honor in his brother watching me, almost as if he had ordered him to do it. To make this situation even stranger, every night at 8 pm, Adam disappeared
*Sebastian's Point of View*Cold. All I felt was cold. I had woken up a while ago to find the nurses hovering over me, but no family in sight. Apparently, the machines had been going crazy and it alerted nearly everyone in the hospital. I could still see Katherine. She was weeping in the corner.I yearned to touch her, to hold her. I regret not building a stronger relationship with her. For not fighting for her. She wouldn't be dead if it wasn't for me. She'd be alive with Gina at home, warming her throne.People were constantly passing through. The pain was excruciating. Soul after soul would appear and grasp my hand, begging to be transferred to the after life. I was the anchor. I had to deal with this.It was my job to place the souls on the correct path that they deserved. The pain was numbing now, I was getting used to it. I had no idea what trapped me in my mind for so long. It was terrifying.Scratching my neck, I force myself into a sitting position. The nurses had left ages a
Lisa's POV:Anxiousness is a strange feeling. When your stomach contracts into knots and your breathing becomes shaky. When you can't get a word out, your body stunned into silence by the situation. That was how I felt.He was coming, that's all I knew. I didn't have the heart to tell Alex, I knew that he would go all protective gorilla on me if he knew.'But he could protect you from him.' my wolf whispers."That doesn't mean anything." I snap, "He can't find out. He can't know my history."'Like it would be so bad? Our mate deserves to know.' she argues."He'll fly off the handle. You know what he'll do." I whisper.'You know that he'll find out eventually right?' she questions."Of course I know this." I growl, "He just doesn't need to know about this right now."'You mean about the fact that you are practically his?' she says."I'm not his." I spit.'Lisa, he should know about this.' she pleads, 'Please tell him.'"No." I spat.'Lisa, the Alpha bought you, you realize that, right?
