Alex'S .

“Brother?” I asked, a cold sweat dripping off my temples. I wasn't sure if it was from the running around or from the shock I had gotten just now.

He jumped to his feet, midway into the air, with a smile etched on the sides of his lips.

“Yes brother… You heard me right, and my name is Adam.” He added in again. I stared at him intently, lost at words, while fear gripped me. I wasn't too certain of what to do or say. I stared at him with wide eyes.

Confusion struck me while I glanced over to Ethan, who still had a similar look glued to his face as well.

“You can't be my brother... Father never spoke of having a son..besides, I don't recall mother having a son apart from Angel Juliet and me." I repeated, not certain if I was trying to stand my ground; perhaps I was trying to convince the strange yet oddly familiar guy who stood before me. Worse still, the words came off sounding like I myself wasn't so sure about the situation, and slowly it was tearing me apart.

    Hayle’s .Unspoken tension remained still between both men; I could see it, feel it, and it was just as obvious amongst everyone seated at the moment. I wasn't certain if they'd had an ongoing argument about it; it all sprang up, fighting about saving me or not. Although it sounded off to me hearing news that he found his elder brother, however, my view was quick to change as soon as I cast my gaze against that of Adams. He looked just like Alex, although similarity between people was a thing back in the human world, he stood out this time, almost like twins except one taller and with a bigger body frame.Yet this strange man looked everything like someone I had seen before, not recurring to me, but Such remembrance of it was etched in my memory yet it had not changed a thing or done; it bothered me and wrecked my nerves knowing I had seen him before yet couldn't put a label on it.“I don't think it's much of a problem; isn't it important that she is alive? Rather than you bot

    Alex.“What on earth do you mean by that?” I yelled as loud as I could, jerking off the bottle from his hand while he stared at me baselessly for a couple of seconds until I ran out of patience.“Talk! I don't care about being brothers or not. As a matter of fact, were you even my brother to begin with? Or you just needed some escape plan for your bloody self?” I asked again, this time anger reeling through me as I spoke, little to no intent to wreck down whatever nerve it was that I held on to.“I am your brother; I showed you proof!” He snapped right back, but he was not even meant to get angry by any bit. I was the only one who was allowed to, not him, so what exactly was he up to?“Brother or not, proof to not, I don't care... I knew something was off about you, and yet you just had to prove me right, didn't you? That would not be the problem at the moment; for all I care about is what I'm tending to you. It's quite simple! Check your ways; you can sleep today and then first ligh

    Hayle's POV.“He killed someone?!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, but Alex was quick to muffle my sounds by placing his palms above my lips. A slight wheeze eased through my lips at the sight before me. I couldn't believe it; I refused to believe it—that Adam had murdered someone.“He says he didn't do it. Well, at least those were his claims.” He added, In trailing off with each word that he spoke, swallowing hard. I felt air narrow its way down my lungs.“And you believe him!” I retorted, glaring at Alex, who looked just as confused as I was.“I don't believe him... But there is no point in putting up with an argument either; he had explained it all, and it makes sense seeing his point of view. I'll have to send down men to the silver blade family ; they need to find out if all he said was true. I need to know if his story checks out or not.” Alex responded.I could see the hesitation on his face; he was being torn about, his guilt getting the best of him at intervals. It wasn't

    ALINA's POV“You really have to listen to me, Dylan. I have no reason to lie to you; I need you to trust me. I am serious. I know what I heard and saw, and I'm not going crazy!” I yelled, I was seemingly frustrated.I ran my hands into my hair while pacing back and forth in the room. A cold sweat broke off from my temples, and he stormed out right after causing those hurtful words to me. I was still taken aback by fear when Dylan walked into the room.I spent over twenty minutes explaining the situation to him; he didn't seem to have two doubts about it; there he remained standing on his feet, not saying a single thing to me. It bothered me, and I didn't like it. Why on earth was I to remain in a line based as such?.All I wanted was a little bit of peace and quiet, but that didn't seem to be helping matters either; they spent way more time doing less than they deemed fit rather than listening to me.“You have to believe me, Dylan! I will never lie to you!” I screamed, putting up a fr

    Hayle's .I casted my gaze against the moon, the cold wind blowing past my skin while I reeled in the memory of the previous occurrence, the cold words parted through Alex's lips, he had asked that I leave.. He didn't care, he would believe me. Aans here I was drowning in more sorrows even when I knew the truth to the entire thing.. His brother was a murderer. I couldn't understand what Colton and Ted had said either. They wouldn't betray Alex, so what was I missing?.“Are you okay?” I heard a familiar voice say to me. I turned abruptly to see who it was and behold, it was Ethan.“You’re not supposed to be here,” I said to him, wiping my tears away.“Have you been crying?” He asked softly. I turned my face away, giving him no response.“Tell me, who hurt you?!” He thundered, trying to get a hold of my face but I kept struggling to keep it away from him.“You know how much Alex hates you being in his family’s territory. Especially around me For the last time, Ethan. What are you do

    Hayle's It’s okay. If you say so. We’re headed to the same place. Do you want me to guard you?” He askedI hesitated but agreed after a few seconds of contemplation. As we approached the fight field, we heard the sound of cheering and shouting in the distance. The closer we got, the louder the noise became. Coral immediately took an excuse and left to bring Alex to the battlefield, making me continue my walk alone. When I finally arrived at the field, I was met with a chaotic scene. Warriors of all shapes and sizes were gathered around the field, some cheering, some chanting. The warriors were probably guarded just in case anything went sour. The field itself was huge, with dirt scattered across the ground and a large pit in the center. I saw the weapons lying on the ground, ready for use. I scanned the crowd for familiar faces, hoping to find a friendly face in the crowd. But all I could see were strange, intense faces, their eyes locked on the action in the pit. Suddenly, a roar

    ADAMA grin crawled up to the sides of my lips while I walked closer to Hayle. I could see how stressed she was, and it worked just enough for me.Her head against the wall, her legs stretched out... I knew how much she was hurting, and I did not feel anything in line with remorse. She seemed to be way too engrossed in her thoughts to have noticed my presence “Thinking about your departure so soon?” I asked. A grin crawled up to the sides of my lips while my eyes remained pinned on them. I enjoyed the look of pain and torture in her eyes.“my departure? You think Alex will ever choose you over me?” She asked, trying to put up with a brave stance, but it was way too obvious that she was cracking up already; not too much could be done on her end, and for a whole lot of it, I did not feel a little bit of pity for her. “I'm sorry it got down to this, but I assure you, in a few days, you will be gone from these grounds; so enjoy the scenario for as long as you can okay?."

    Hayle.“Hayle, wait!” She yelled right after me; cold sweat broke off my temples while I gloated inwardly, anger burning and eating away at me. I just couldn't believe it. AHS chose some dude over me, even after what we both have been through.It got on my nerves; I was in pain; it was simple; I was jealous as well; I didn't understand it; why was everyone always looming around Adam? The frustration was too much for me to be all blind to it, or they chose to be blind.He was a manipulative liar, a scheming devil, and yet they all kissed up to him, blind to the truth, and it wasn't helping me.They all seemed to have forgotten the ordeal we all had to endure in the past. “Hayle!” Juliet called out once more, this time holding my arms firm into hers while a gasp eased its way through my lips. I couldn't get it. What's he so worked up about? He kept getting on my nerves, and it was wrecking up the little patience that I had left.“Let me be Juliet. I'm trying to clear off some steam in

She was restless and maybe angry, but for all she knew, there were other things she needed to bring together.Weak and tired, she needed a little bit of peace and quiet. It felt like much was done or could be done; all she needed was her mind set free.She slipped out of the room, slowly heading towards the balcony, but then remembered that she had previously passed out there and slept in the cold till the next day. Goosebumps. swarmed into her, she freed herself up to the conclusion that was not by any means the route for her.She stood in her tracks, her head tilted a bit while she pondered hard about what to do.

    None of Alex's words made any sense to Hayle; how could her womb vanish into thin air? Why was he looking so serious? Was that meant to be a prank for her? Womb don't just get off one's body."Is this the part where I laugh?” Hayle asked curiously, flashing her bright set of teeth towards Alex, who was taken aback by her attitude. Sure as hell, she had her way, but he had his as well, and he was way more determined than anything else to handle the situation as best as he could, but she was not going to help anyone at all.“I'm sorry,” she whispered under low tones and tried standing on her feet. The first thing she felt was a throbbing headache and an insane urge to retch.“This isn't funny anymore, Alex. What's going on?” She asked again, seemingly confused as her vision was a little blurry.“Here, I'll help.'' Alex added in as he made his way towards her swiftly, running his fingers across her eyes and slowly pushing up in place before helping her back in bed."Hayle, this is a jo

    HayleHayle parted her slowly and glanced through her environment. Things seemed different for a moment, and the first thing that stuck with her was the vague emptiness that she felt, followed by quite a migraine that took place in her mind. What exactly was wrong? Why had she felt like something important was missing from her?.She glanced around, and the surroundings seemed familiar; it wasn't her room. But it looked oddly close. The first memory that shook her mind was collapsing by the balcony, cold and lonely, scared for her life, worried that no one would find her as people hardly entered or passed through there.She heard the creaking of a door, and the first thing she had done was close her eyes shut, firmly and tight, yet she found it really strange; she could not have picked up the footsteps approaching until she shut her eyes closed.“What's wrong with me?” She questioned herself yet said nothing. “I can tell you are awake; why bother pretending?” Alex asked as he leaned c

    Hayle.The cold wind blew harshly against my skin. I circled up my toes and tilted my head a bit.It was odd; why did it look so familiar? Emerging from the room, the scent that filled my nostrils, I stretched my legs slowly and raised my head with a louder yawn.My eyes moved over to the balcony, and it made me really bothered. Why was I in a situation like this? It made me sick to my stomach as I realized I was no longer taken.“awake?” his voice covered around me, I tilted my head, In the direction the words came, as I shook slowly yet carefully, panic shocking at my sides,“Why am I here?” I asked, the words easing off my throat bitterly. I felt an uneasiness within me, and I pushed myself slowly towards the end of the bed.“Stop; you need to remain in bed; you aren't fully healed yet.” He complained even when I barely felt anything different within me.“some joke?” I asked, my gaze on his while he rolled his eyes in response.“What exactly is your deal? Why did you come up with

I dragged my feet reluctantly towards the don't and pushed it open, but to my surprise, it was Ethan.“Good morning, still asleep?” he asked. I shook my head, a faint smile against my lips. I could not really tell him much. It was probably not the best thing expected of me, especially given the fact that I had spent all my night thinking about Alex.“No, you didn't wake me; I had been a little tired from the journey; sleep didn't come easily.” I responded to his questions, although he seemed a little tense and worried.“May I come in then?” he asked, and I nodded, pushing the door wider apart for him to walk in.“I'm sorry, my manners are a little terrible. What's wrong? You don't look so good.” I asked on the spot, fighting hard to have my senses all intact.“Do you like it here, Hayle? Do you like be

It was seventeen minutes past three in the morning. It's been more than two hours since I retired to bed, fussing about and turning to no avail.“stop acting like it isn't your fault, why do you always have to make decisions that I'll take the pain for?” my asked, ranging unnecessarily, I sighed before blocking him off the mind link when he had put up with a fight…he was right, I've been imposing my decision on him lately.Apparently, there seemed like nothing else I could do better.

    Hayle's I slowly opened my eyes, the room looked fuzzy and unclear. I blinked a few times to clear my vision, and then I saw someone moving around, but their features were all blurry. It reminded me of Alex, but I couldn't be sure.I felt a mix of emotions - confusion, and a bit of fear. Was it really him? I tried to sit up to get a better look, but it was hard. Every movement felt heavy and slow.I strained my eyes, hoping to see more clearly, eager to know if it was really him or just my imagination playing tricks on me when suddenly he drew closer and spoke up.“I really need to know why you chose to have yourself killed today,” Alex spoke, his words coming off more like an exclamation than a statement. He had intervened and disrupted Adams' plan to take me out while fighting me in the training field. I was so dumb to recognize that that had been his plan all along.How stupid of me. I cussed inwardly. I thought about what happened, and a heavy feeling settled in my chest. I r
