" Caleb?" She said when she saw him. She was carrying a baby in her arms and when Caleb saw the child he instantly hated himself. It's not that seeing a girl with a child made him pity the girl, it was the fact that he was making an alliance with someone whose lover he allowed Drew to bully repeatedly. Now she is a mother, she seemed to Caleb like she had figured out what she wanted to fight for or what she wanted to do with her life. She had a steadfast partner and honestly, she looked so much better now that she was with Roman, meanwhile, all those years of being Drew's sidekick and all the filthy things they did together only left him helping another man with his fight. He was alone, clueless, and depressed. The bottom line was, seeing someone you used to bully living better than you was quite the eye-opener. " Elora... Hi. I -" he didn't know what to say after that so he just stood and stared as he racked his brain for the best way to greet her without making things awkward. "
“ You have a very beautiful daughter,” Caleb said when Elora still kept looking at him with a blank expression. “ Yeah, thanks.” She said dryly while Josh stifled a laugh and looked away the second Caleb turned to look at him. “ So umm…Roman, what’s the plan? Are we gonna take on your dad - just us four?” “ Four?” Roman asked lifting a brow at Caleb as he frowned at him. Elora’s hostility toward Caleb was rubbing off on him and he didn’t think too much of it since Elora had indeed been bullied by Drew and sometimes it was Caleb. Of course, he felt the need to frighten Caleb a little – but not so much that Caleb starts to think that he is like his father, Drake. “ Well…yeah, Elora is fighting too isn’t she?” Caleb asked while Roman and Josh looked at him like he was a scatter-brain. “ Did I say something wrong or did I miss something?” “ Umm…did you miss the part where Elora gave birth like yesterday?” Josh said finally speaking to Caleb who felt excited for a brief moment that Jo
" Please...you told them to build you an army?" Elora asked laughing hysterically. " Yes, I did. I mean what was I supposed to say?" He said smiling in spite of himself." Pfft!! You were just trying to look cool" she teased while he bowed his head and chuckled. But the smile quickly left his face when he remembered how harsh she had been to him earlier. He didn't exactly think she was in the right state of mind to talk about it since her personality might change to something else soon. He hated how she returns to herself for five minutes and then she is gone again. He just wanted her to be herself again. " Soon," he said to himself. Just as he was thinking about this, she suddenly yawned and stretched as if she had the most exhausting week and this was her only time to rest. " Roman, I'm gonna need you to watch the kids like...for the rest of the week. Especially Pandora," " Are you going somewhere?" He asked but she shook her head and giggled." I'm just tired" " Yeah, you hav
" Woah Woah... Roman, you can't just kill them. I thought you were giving them a choice" Josh said when he saw that Roman's eyes had changed to red and blue, depicting when he is most murderous. It was bold of Josh to even confront Roman at that stage but that was exactly what Roman was looking for - someone that is not afraid to look death in the eye. " Well, when I saw them I thought they were on my side already but it seems some of them are reconsidering and I can't afford that happening, especially when there are traitors in our midst," Roman responded. He was very much in control of himself and he could sort out the liars and traitors among them because whenever he looked at them all he saw were red figures. " Traitors? What are you talking about? These people have been through hell and are looking for a better leader who they can start over with and you want to murder them because they have a change of heart?"" No, I want to murder those who never wanted to join me in the fir
After Roman gave them a second chance, the remaining thirty surrendered to him. They swore to submit to his leadership and so did Josh and Caleb. But he did not want them to feel threatened and caged so he asked them to remain in one of the empty rooms and went out with Josh and Caleb. " Can't believe he locked us in here, " one of them said when Roman, Josh, and Caleb left. " Can't believe he killed Luke!" Another said in disbelief. " Why would you guys lie to us? We all came here because Josh and Caleb told us about a better future that we could build for ourselves, he was nice to us until he sensed you, traitorous idiots. Seriously what were you thinking when you came here huh? You really think Luke was worthy of creating a secret pack that could take out Roman?!" Dayna, a formidable woman in their midst asked. She was quite a beauty and so when she spoke, people would take a minute to look her up and down before they would snap out of a trance and address her statement and like
That night, Roman went over his plan with everyone involved and the rest were meant to guard Elora and his children while he was away. Caleb and Josh led one team to find Victoria while Roman led the other team to rescue Elora's friends and her mother.Roman was preparing to leave when Elora tapped him gently on his shoulders. " I need you to come back safely to me okay?" She said and he nodded. He didn't know which personality she was having at the moment so he chose to play it safe and just nod. He and his team slithered through the streets that night and got to his father's hidden prison in no time. Roman could sense that they were inside the prison but it was too guarded and this is where he needed the ten people who went with him. " How many guards are there?" He asked mind-linking with all of them at once. " Ten" they all responded but he shook his head and said," study their breathing pattern. You'll know that it's more than ten people," he said and they silently observed w
" No" Cody responded. " If you're going to be our leader then you should show us that you won't be leaving any of us behind. That's what a true leader would do" he added. Roman's eyes gleaned with anger as he glared at Cody, " they disobeyed me. They had their own agendas before coming here. This was supposed to be a quick mission and I sure as hell don't know when those people will send a guard replacement. If I were you, I'd shut up and follow the orders you're given" " Then maybe you should carry them by yourself." " Do you realize you're breaking -""- yes, I am breaking the oath because you're only using us for your advantage - very much like your father. " Cody interrupted while Roman smirked in response. " I take it that you're going with him too," Roman asked Tyler and when the boy didn't seem to know what to say, he lifted Giselle and threw him over his shoulder, then he stretched out his hand and Tyler reluctantly placed Jed over his shoulders. " I could carry two," De
Elora did not know that she had been switching personalities. There were moments when she could tell that she was saying things that she wouldn't tell Roman normally but she couldn't control it, especially when she starts feeling a certain way that made it look like she was being an entirely different person. She was sulking all day until Roman returned. Dayna and the other girls left after she fought with them. After everything, she regained herself and felt really awful about what was happening to her and the things she was saying to people unprovoked. " Hey Roman, welcome," she said smiling at him but her smile disappeared when she saw that he was drenched in blood from head to toe. Roman hated the way she looked at him. She looked absolutely terrified and scared, which meant to him that she was her normal self again. " Thanks," he said before he went to the bathroom to wash but when he got there and looked at himself in the mirror, he had terrible flashbacks of his teen years.
