-Dominic's POV-It's been three weeks now since I've left and made it to London. My true home. From what I could tell, my legs were pretty much fully recovered, and I was that little bit freer.I had been staying at my biological parents' home ever since I left America. The only reason I knew where it was was that Nick had once told me that he bought the house as soon as he could in order to preserve the little we had of our biological parents.I was in a place that felt so weird to me. I was stood in a place I knew so little about whereas in America I knew everything, but I liked it this way. It was like a new opponent and I was ready to fight.23:00I put my mask on, wrapped my han
-Nickolas' POV-It's been almost four weeks now since my sister's gone missing. It bothers me at every point of the day but that's not all. Planning for our encounter with the Scorpions gang has become a pain too.I spent hours planning with my gang members from all over the world. Getting weapons from Texas, tracking from London, defence gear from Australia, and so on. The actual planning, I had done most of with the guys here but without that extra person we're won't have the advantage and the fight is harder. The Scorpions were a strategy-based gang whereas we were more weapons-based, it was a bad combo and we needed as much help as we could get.That's why I was so desperate to get The Mysterious Demo
-Dominic's POV-It's become a routine now to come to this pub every night. I go into the street fighter's section and warm-up, comfortable in my surroundings now as is everyone else with me being here.Destroyer meets me soon after. I've come to find out his real name is Steven and he's pretty open about himself. The opposite of me. This is proven through his nightly questioning session he likes to do. Asking me how old I am, where I was born, where I live and many others which I quickly answer with an, 'I ain't telling you' but this time when he asked, "What's your name?" I stopped at my 100th push-up and stood to face him which made his face turn into a hopeful one.I smirked and answered, "Secter
-Nickolas' POV-I had told Dominic that morning that I wanted to take her somewhere before we left for America. It was somewhere I had wanted to show her ever since I found out she was in London.I didn't know if showing her this at this point in time was right or wrong, but I felt she deserved to see this. It was important to both of us and in some way, I had hoped that it would be a step towards a better relationship between us.I had blinded Dominic before bringing her out here, but she was good at reading my facial expression as I did. She knew this wasn't going to be enjoyable.The drive there was silent. Mostly because I was nervous, and she could feel that. When we reached the destinatio
-Dominic's POV (a month prior)-I woke up and the first thing that I thought was 'ow' as pain shot up my body. My legs were killing me.Even as I tried getting up from bed carefully, I ended up collapsing and falling onto the floor because my legs still couldn't support me properly. So, I grabbed my desk-side heaved myself up before leaned on the wall whilst slowly walking to the bathroom, knowing that I'd probably have to get used to that happening in the morning now.When I got to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and cringed at my reflection. I have bruises all over and a huge gash on my cheek. I didn't enjoy putting makeup on but with my face looking like this and the fact that I won't be fighting
-Nickolas' POV-As Dominic and I came out of the airport I looked around and then looked back at my phone, texting the lads to check where they were but was cut off by someone calling, "Nick!" My head shot up and I smiled towards my four guys who were walking towards me. We greeted each other with hugs and handshakes before we started talking."So, what happened?" Jason asked, and I grinned at him before replying,"It went well, I got her back and she agre
-Blake's POV-My eyes were fixed on one figure that night. I had missed her beyond anything I had ever felt before but...my fear held me back. Instead of going up to her, instead of talking to her, instead of fixing the things between us, I've been giving her the cold shoulder since she's come back. I've been ignoring her even though I want nothing more than to hold her.I downed another shot and kept watching her from afar when I suddenly see Jake walk up to her drunk as hell. I furrowed my eyebrows when he held onto her waist and brought his face dangerously close to hers. What the hell was he doing? My blood boiled in anger and betrayal and I wanted to go up to them and rip him off of her, but I knew I had no rig
-Nickolas' POV-The plan was prepared and explained to my members, now the only thing left to do was to put it into action. I knew it was dangerous to put this new team into a fight without some training first though so that was exactly what I was going to do.I had called everyone into the main room of my apartment and had started calling out everyone's positions, more so Dominic knew a bit more about the gang she was now in. "First off, Zack and Blake are our weapon guys for this division, it's their speciality. Jason is our kill off. Kind of like an assassin, he'll do the individual tasks that don't require the whole group. He prefers to work alone and does it well. Dominic, you and Jake are our hand to hand comb
-Dominic's POV-I looked down at Jordan one last time with sympathy before watching Nick and the rest start running from the police who were coming in closer."Come on D, we have to go!" Blake exclaimed, grabbing my wrist and we both started running. A little distance was made between us and what was our battlefield when I came up with an idea. I stopped moving and started walking back into the open. "Dominic what are you doing?" I then hear Blake asking from behind me, looking at me with panic and worry."If we keep running without a plan we're going to get caught. They have cars and tracking dogs. This won't work. I have to do something." I reply which makes him shake his head, walking closer to me and
-Dominic's POV-Beep..."He's fallen into a coma-"Beep..."But you said the operation was a success!"Beep..."It was sir, but you have to understand that he had severe blood loss and until the transfer was given, the damage was already done."Nick pulled on his hair and turned away in annoyance and anger. All I could do though was continue staring at Blake's unconscious figure.I hadn't slept in the three days that it had taken for Blake's recovery to become stable. When they needed a blood transfusion, I didn't hesitate to volunteer. Eating, drinking, the essentials had all been pushed into the back of my mind and all I could do was pray for Blake's safety.Beside me, Jake was sitting in a chair by Blake's
-Xavier's POV-"Tied them all up?" I asked as I carried a passed-out Zack and Nick on my shoulders into the dining room.The fight against all of these boys was rough. It was no wonder they were one of the strongest gangs in their generation. I was impressed, sure, but they weren't at my level, not yet. Perhaps that was why they asked Demon to join them over me and I'll give it to them for being that smart at least."Yeah," William replied, wrapping some bandages over a wound Arthur had while he was unconscious. "Has Dominic gone?" He then asked so I looked back through the window of the garden just to double-check before nodded at him."So far everything's going according to plan,
-Arthur's POV-I watched intently as Jake stepped out of the house, scanning the area before picking up his phone."Let's start, everyone, go!" Nick instructed and with that Blake shot at each hinge of Dominic's door which had closed as Jake exited. The shots had caused the door to fall and as it did, Nick, Zack and I ran in whilst Jason and Blake had stayed out to guard just in case they get out.If I didn't have my other motive, then leaving Zack out there to guard as well would have been a smarter choice. Nick had caught onto this as well, but I convinced him otherwise. Even though I wanted us to succeed, I needed the other gang to succeed more and so I needed the least defence on the outside as possible.With that going through my head, we made it into
-Blake's POV-I watched from afar with my hands clenching my gun as my brother walked towards Dominic's house, ready to start our plan.I was bothered. Really bothered. It was bad enough that Dominic and I have been on off terms because of this whole situation but it was worse that she and Jake had gotten closer as we drifted. She seemed to be more comfortable with him than she used to be, and it really bothered me. Why?I knew it was bad to think of my brother as someone who would hurt me. I knew that the trust he had from me was well deserved and he wouldn't do anything to tarnish that but...why?Why were they meeting more frequently while we're in a situation so chaotic? Wh
-Dominic's POV-Knock Knock.He was here.I got up from my seat, nodding towards Xavier and William before making my way towards the front door. Before opening it, I checked who was on the other side with caution. Seeing that it was, in fact, the person I was expecting, I let him in."Hey Dominic," Jake greeted before hugging me tightly. That was enough for me to know that their plan was going forward. There wasn't a 'sweetheart' and his face was pale, almost grave.After he stepped into the house, I closed my door -making sure to lock it securely.Walking back to the dining room, I searched the walls around my home one last time for signs of trouble and apart from the open window which I closed shortly after, ever
-Jake's POV-"She won't listen to a word I say. She just doesn't trust him, Nick."Currently, Blake, Nick and I were sitting in one of Nick's rooms while Blake was explaining how things were going with Dominic to Nick. So far, he's had no luck in trying to get her to agree to what we had planned. Originally, I thought she was just being stubborn,but the more Blake told us about the way she had been acting, the more I began to speculate.I'm not the smartest in the group -in fact, I may be the dumbest after Zack- but I knew women. They were logical, forward-thinking and cautious. They'll get played but will learn after they're played. Guys, on the other hand, will just get played over and over
-Dominic's POV-"He's done what?" Xavier asked nerve struck."He's convinced them all that he's doing this for my benefit. They're trying to get me to go to some people to get 'wiped clean' or some bullshit like that." I responded dryly. Unlike, Xavier I wasn't really angry, I was just tired of it now."I know I said that we shouldn't trust them, but I didn't know that they couldn't be trusted! Fuck this!" He exclaimed, flailing his arms in the air before holding the bridge of his nose to calm down. "Fine. It doesn't matter. We were alone for four years, we can carry on working alone. Remember, act normal, don't let them get anything from you. I just-" He clenched his fists, "I just can't believe they fell for his lie!""They fell for it?"I turned my
-Blake's POV-I smiled down at my screen as I read Dominic's text message explaining that the was dragged out of the house by Xavier to go and train which was why the door was suddenly slammed closed all of a sudden. I trusted Xavier with Dominic, so I saw no problem with him taking her but now the only issue was finding out what to do now that she wasn't here.I wasn't bored for long though as there was a knock at the door and this time the lads and I go up to open it with caution. When we did, we saw that Arthur stood outside with a straight face. Nick was pretty welcoming and invited him in happily but there was something about him I wasn't comfortable with. After Dominic and I's last encounter with him, hi
-Dominic's POV-Discomfort.No matter what I did or who I was with I was uncomfortable.Arthur's words rang constantly in the back of my head and it was driving me insane. 'You're not really my sister so fuck off,'. Sure, what he said upset me but it was whatever drove him to say those words which annoyed me too.I thought I could trust Arthur but now I wasn't so sure. Not only did he lie to me, but he also wouldn't tell me the truth after I caught his lie. He was hiding something from me and -as much as I didn't want to believe it- I had a feeling I knew what he was keeping hidden.Clearly, I hadn't killed the whole gang, I thought with minor anger but took a breat
