Damon I guess I should be given the fastest man alive award for the way I had dashed out of the lab. Finally, my brothers were coming up to speed with what I was planning to do and it was really nice that I was not alone in this. Seeing those vampires out there looking really helpless was not something that I had been looking for. So, I went over the rock and made the fastest jump down ever as I rushed to the car. Very quickly, I pulled away the bushes used to cover it and I got inside and started driving away. The sun was already coming down at this point a little and I knew we were somewhere around the afternoon. I drove all the way straight out of the outskirts in a frenzy I had not been expecting and soon, to the city. I had no idea at the slightest where exactly I wanted to go but I pulled one on my contacts. The moment I dialled him, he became really scared from how he sounded on the phone. He probably was wondering why I was calling him two times a week. That was bothersome,
Jace's Pov The evening was gloomy. As it usually was whenever I came to my Therapist's, Diddy Powell. A thirty eight years old man with remarkable track records in his line of work as a certified cognitive behavioral therapist.The office smelled the same way I remembered it to— Lemons and coffee—a strange combo. “Good to see you again today, Jace. Was worried you might not show up one day,” he said as he came to take his seat.I shrugged. This was demanded for my independence. There was no way I could miss my therapy session.“I said I'd be dedicated to my therapy. And I'm doing that. No matter what.”He grinned—No matter what.“I'm impressed.”“We could get on now, if you don't mind.” I said, not willing to give him room for anything that I wasn't ready to be confronted with. His eyes were shifty as they always were. ‘ Don't try to touch me today, Diddy.’ I pleaded in my head“Come on, Jace. This is my workplace… I'm the professional here and you'd know when I say it is time,”
Jace's POVI stared at the business card Harold left on the table, contemplating on what to do, minutes after he had walked out of the bar.I had two options; to pretend like I never met this man and try to continue with my life, knowing that he was not going to give me out to the authorities, at least since he knew my situation.The next option was to pick up the card and decide on what to do later. Probably when things got rougher.“Jay?”I heard my boss call suddenly. He had come in from the back. I grabbed the card and put it in my apron.“I'll be right there sir!” I responded. “Some folks from downtown will be coming in their numbers later today. They're peeps I knew from way back.”He said as I approached with the half drunk glass of wine and the bottle. “That's goodnews. That means a lot of sales this evening,” I said, forcing a wary smile on my face. He took one look at the items on the tray and looked away, busying himself by rearranging the glasses beneath the counter.“
Jace's POVAs he'd said, before the time to open the bar, Harold was already outside the bar. He came dressed in a blue elegant tuxedo. He came in a Bentley and I stared at it long before he spoke the first words. “Jace. I see you're doing good this morning,” he said. I nodded. I had not gotten around to texting my boss about my sudden decision to leave the bar and go to a place with the promise of a better pay and a place to lay my head every night. But now, I didn't think there was time to do that anymore. “Good morning, Mr. Harold,” I said. He nodded. He had a smirk on his face. “The bar is going to be open soon, I wouldn't want my boss to find me just standing here. If you don't mind sir, I'll just open up and wait the next one hour until he shows up then I can leave with too.”By the time I was done talking, he was frowning. He shook his head in disapproval and then took hold of my hand. Pulling away would have been a sign that I wasn't comfortable with him so I held still.
Jace's POVI stood transfixed to the threshold. My mouth had fallen open and I was either too shocked to move or entirely numb. Inside was a man who looked exactly like the other three outside. He was just as tall, brawn and handsome. But he was stark naked and fully oiled.His cock was erect and he was rubbing his hands together. The man looked like he was on the verge of pleasuring himself.I should have been disgusted. But I didn't feel anything until he turned sharply and spoke, knocking the baby oil off the shelf as he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist “Why in the bloody fucking hell are you gaping at me?” he asked. “And how did you come here of all the places in this house?”I felt my ears go red from the sheer embarrassment of the entire scenario. “I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have opened without knocking,” I apologized. Would I ever be able to forget what I had just seen?That big dick, oiled and erect.Would the memory ever leave my head? I doubted it. “Wha
Harold "You know the drill, it has to be someone with no knowledge about us, their heritage and void of any scandals. Someone who can go missing and no one would really ask questions." Alpha Ethan had said to me as I told him that we needed a house manager.The previous one, though human, had been an old woman but then she started to lose her mind from age. Luma had been with the boys from their toddler stage up until now but sadly last week, she had passed on.She had been buried secretly yet respectfully and now, without any house manager, they had made a nuisance of the homestead. I had to approach the Alpha with the talk yet again that we needed to get a replacement as soon as possible."Just grant me permission to go scout for the right person and I promise, I shall fetch someone suitable." I promised him."Oh, Harold. I know you would do exceptionally well but do not forget these boys are in their prime. Their display of youthful exuberance alongside mischief is no news to you.
Alpha Ethan's pov "You know it's not safe for the boys alone. Harold is right, they need someone to manage their home." My Luna said to me as she noticed me brooding.I had been hesitant to go to bed as I sat on the couch in my room while I thought of what to do about the whole situation."Tamera, I'm not saying he's wrong either but you know already how hard it has been for us keeping the boys hidden. We even gave them different last names to keep them safe and made certain they all stay out of the spotlight at once. But that measure alone is something barely enough to keep them safe." I said to her,She got off the bed and approached me tentatively as she started massaging my shoulders."I know you're doing all you can to keep them safe but you can only do so much for our boys. Besides, they are really strong lads now and should be able to mount some degree of defense for themselves." She responded.Sometimes, I used to wonder if I had been the one that worried too much or perhaps,
Jace A lot had happened in this short time but I was totally stunned when I saw the man that had entered. He bore a semblance to the boys but he was much older with streaks of white hair adorning his crown.He exhumed such powerful, magnificence and authority that for a moment, I did in fact lose myself. It took a cutlery knife being thrown my way by one of the boys with such force that it stuck behind the wall to realize what I had been doing wrong as I shot myself forward and bowed before the man.He welcomed me with such kind eyes and scolded Damon who had thrown the knife for doing that.Eventually, everyone had settled and it was just the man speaking now. He had such control and I could almost see a father figure in him.However, something bothered me at the back of my mind and that was the fact that I was in the midst of men. My heart tempo instantly rose as the name and memories accompanied by that name flooded through me.'Dr Diddy'What on earth was I thinking?I was right

Garrett You ever have a sibling you wish it would not really matter if you kill them because right now, Damon was filling that position for me. His rash reactions and lack of foresight against risk was alarming so much that I began to wonder how he had managed to survive all these years.How on earth do you go around pulling levers and when the ground beneath you starts to give way, you remain put? How do you hear sounds that are scary and then risk your life to go investigate. He was beginning to make it look like our purpose here was to try and keep him from doing something stupid other than save our pack.Now, he had returned with the not so good news on how there were vampires in here. And he was looking excited much like he wanted to release them. I was counting on the fact that he might have already done that. I looked helplessly at Jacob and the disappointment on his own face told me everything that I needed to know about his emotions at the moment. He did not actually find it
Jacob A mission with my brothers was definitely not something I thought would have happened if asked about it two years ago or even six months ago. Who would have thought that so much would change in just a short time that was beginning to make me realise something more. It was not so bad working with my brothers. In fact, it made me feel a special closeness to them and I started to wonder as I was driving why we never bonded this way. Perhaps, I should say thanks to the bounty hunters for this avenue and Jace for being the common thing that we all were mutually connected to.I drove through the outskirts and peeped at the rearview mirror to find Damon sleeping. He looked so peaceful and not so mischievous. I admire him now. A version of me who had gone out of his way to take risks for us. I mean, who would have thought that such a heart lies beneath that playboy glee that we were all used to. It made sense now, those times that I would find him snooping around. And now I could tell
Damon Everyone was finally on the same page. At least everyone here that had to be as Peter was still upstairs sleeping. I enjoyed the fact that we all understood this whole situation wholeheartedly and I was finally able to open up to my brothers on what I had found out. By the looks of things, we most definitely would be getting back at Luke together.I had to explain the whole findings to them but I had already seen the design of that machine and I believed that was something Garrett the genius would be able to understand. I was right. The moment he took a look at it, his eyes widened with so much shock. He recognised it or at the very least, what it was supposed to do and I knew we were not safe before he told us that it was all about destruction."Wait, what do you mean by that?" Harold demanded. This was the first time I have seen him panic this way."From what I can tell about this, it is supposed to create something that would fish us all out and make us go rabid and even kil
Garrett Finally, we would not be needing to keep our identity hidden from Jace any longer. It was high time actually because I was already wondering if I was going to have to keep lying to him. Harold seemed to be finally getting into understanding us and I was really happy. That was when Jace asked the funny question and we started laughing.I felt bad for him when I looked up at him and noticed how he looked. He had been genuinely shaken up by Peter's stuff that he might have seen his life flash before his own eyes. I knew for one thing though that even though Peter was not going to eat him, he was definitely going to kill him. But it was not intentional and that was something I believed Jace should understand. Yes, I have always wanted his attention to myself and I really wished for that even now but we all had fought together to keep him safe and so, everyone deserves a second chance to make him trust us.So, I spoke up."Actually, he was not going to eat you. He was in pain and
Jace I was freaking out, my insides felt like they had been tied into a knot of sorts and right now, all I wanted was to leave here alive. I had been shocked when I had suddenly been approached by a wolf so much that I feared that I was going to lose my life. The creature was definitely really big and the eyes screamed of the many horrors it was promising me.That was when I saw Damon approach and my eyes lit up. Perhaps, he would defend me but the distance from where it was to where I stood was actually really close. One wrong move and it might actually attack me and cause me a lot of pain. Fear coursed through my insides as I was already trembling.Harold, Jacob and Garrett had come from behind me as well. But they asked me to calm down.This was clearly my fault, I had thought. If I had not been busy feeding the foxes then maybe this wolf would not be here. It probably had seen me and had come for its own meal. Those were my thoughts until I saw the unexpected. The wolf had launch
Damon I could see now that we all were in league and for the first time since I was burdened with my sexuality, I finally felt relaxed. It was great to feel that I and my brothers were in this together and right now, I did not want to deny Jace anymore. If anything, I wanted to be with him, learn to love him and see where all this ends. One confusing aspect was my brothers though, they all seemed like they were prepared to go all the way with him as well and this could easily ruin all my plans. I have no idea what exactly I had been expecting but it most certainly was not that they would latch on.Well, it would be great to see where it all leads. And right now, Harold was looking really troubled. There was definitely more to the reason why he was so certain that we would not be accepted and I knew he was hiding some juicy story. One question I had right now was if Harold had attached to him a dark side. That would actually be great to talk about. That our all uptight butler has his
Jacob Alright, this was way more than I had ever thought or bargained for. The fact that everyone suddenly had fessed up made me feel like it was all over and done with. All the hiding and deceit but what I believed was the fact that everyone of us had a problem. Bad enough that Jace was a guy, how could we all belong to him? It was horrible to even begin to think with and the fact remained that I did not want to share with anyone.I had to carry, Peter insisted. The asshole that has ruined everything because of his impulsive decisions. While hearing Harold speaking to Damon. I heard when he told him that we all were going to have to reject Jace. That sounded awful but I shall have words to say later.The door to Jace's room was open slightly as I emerged from his floor and Garrett was in there. I walked over and then slightly opened the door to find Jace laying down, his head on Garrett's lap as the latter rocked him from side to side."Everything okay?" I asked him."Yes. I guess h
Damon I already had enough of the pretext as I walked away. At some point on my way downstairs, I decided that it was all good and I returned."Ah, Damon, I'm glad you returned. You know we can talk about this." Harold said to me."Come on, bro. We cannot keep hiding secrets and I know that you're not a traitor, so you shouldn't take what Garrett says to heart." Jacob said to me.They were definitely considering gigs in the comedy terrain because right now, I was pissed beyond measure."Secrets? You think my secret is anything like the ones I notice in the house? Yet, I trust you all so much that I am in denial." I stated."What are you talking about, son?" Harold demanded."Yeah, what are the secrets around the house?" Garrett demanded."How about this for a secret, bro. How about you explain to us what is good between you and Jace!" I demanded angrily."What is that supposed to imply?" Garrett demanded."I probably was not going to suspect anything but I have been watching. Pretend
