Lisa's POV:Sebastian trails off before letting out a breath of air, "So I guess to start, our family never had the best luck when it came to demons. My mom's name was Mia and she was, obviously, my father's mate. Before he met her, he was a lot like Alex, cold, cut off, a major man-whore. But when he met her, it all stopped. He started to get happier, although he never showed it to his men.He was King, he couldn't show any human emotion. After that, they had a pretty normal relationship and then she got pregnant. Still pretty normal, until the demons tried attacking. After she had the baby, they vowed to not have anymore kids. The more kids they had, the bigger target they had on their backs.Somehow throughout the next few years, they were able to fend them off long enough for them to find the time to go back on their vow and have two more children, Alex and myself. The firstborn was our brother Adam, but he's an Alpha from a different pack now. After that, everything just kind of
Lisa's POV:The tapping on my door is incessant and driving me crazy. Smoothing the material hanging around my thighs one more time, I turn towards the door and throw it open."I swear to the goddess, Sebastian." I growl, pushing him back into the hall."The party started almost thirty minutes ago!" he yelps, grabbing onto my elbow."So?! I really don't care! You could have went down!" I snap, stalking towards the stairs."And what kind of entrance is that?" he mutters, grabbing my hand and lacing his fingers with mine.Looking down at our fingers, I raise an eyebrow at him."What?" he grins, "We're teaching them a lesson aren't we?"I let out a loud sigh and pull him to a stop."I don't know about this...." I trail off, biting my lip."The pool party? Or holding my hand?" he chuckles, raising our interlocked fingers."Neither, Seb. I'm serious. I don't feel right about making you do this. Especially after Katherine." I admit, pulling my hand away."If anything, I deserve to go to the
Lisa's POV:"Please, Lisa, sit." he begs, "And stay here. Please, I will be back in a moment."Alex slips out the door and as much as I don't want to, I lower myself into a nearby chair. In the next few minutes I am alone with myself. I think of the previous conversation and feel regret slightly. I wish I had not said that I didn't respect him, because I did, I do. As much as I hate it, I cannot deny he has made an effect on me.I do respect him, partially, but he truly does need to prove to me that he deserves it. The door to Alex's office clicks open and in flaunts Stephanie, her happy expression turns to one of disgust as soon as she notices my presence. I feel a grin appear on my face as I notice the white splint that is around her nose. Alex stumbles in behind her and a look of relief crosses his face once he sees me."Sit, Stephanie." Alex orders in a cold tone.My eyebrows furrow and Stephanie slumps into the chair across from his. Jealousy stirs to life in my stomach as I noti
Lisa's POV:I pull away from him, my lips tingling slightly. His eyes are dark and he abruptly gets to his feet. My heart falls to the pit of my stomach and I am positive that this was all a facade. He never truly cared, he couldn't have. Shortly after, all those worries fly away when his face morphs into a heart shattering grin and reaches out a hand to help me from the floor.I return the smile as I take his hand, hoisting myself to my feet. As we start towards the door, I mistakenly allow my eyes to glance at the hardwood floor. My stomach churns and I empty the contents of it a few paces away from Stephanie's head.Placing my hands on my knees, I remain in my crouched position until a warm hand lands on my lower back."You okay, sweetheart?" Alex whispers in my ear, rubbing my book soothingly.Swallowing hard, I clamp my eyes shut. I shake my head, "No.""I'll get rid of it." he huffs, standing to his feet and stepping halfway out the door."I need a body to be cleaned up immediat
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 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?
