Garrett Everyone had gone right back to their activities and I, to my room after breakfast. I was thinking of going to see Jace and ask him to accompany me to go shopping for some necessities with me including clothes when I was halted in my tracks.My hand was already on the door knob as I was about to open the door when I heard him. Jacob had gone to his bedroom.My wolf rattled within me as I wondered just what he was doing there and clamoured for him to leave when I heard him ask Jace to follow him. I was totally at loss as to what he wanted with him and listened as Jace followed.Perhaps, I should have gone out then to ask where they were headed but that would seem too awkward. Jace was here to work, I reminded myself. It would do no harm at all if he decides to assign some duties to him.I promised that if he goes back up and I find that Jace is being over laboured, I would go assist him.However, one could only imagine my horror when I heard Jacob's car start and he drove away
Jace I was short of words right now. He wanted to be chatty with me?Dare I say that the fact he had come into my room shirtless and bearing that package made me wonder what exactly the present was. I could not understand how this guy would always walk around shirtless and in complete oblivion as to what was happening around him.He went to lay on my bed facing the ceiling with his hands folded under his head as I stood there for sometime wondering what was happening today. Almost all brothers except one had given me something today making it seem like there was some sort of competition I was not aware of going on for my attention."Sir, I don't really understand." I said, simply.Of course, this was his house and not like I could ask him to get out of my bedroom. Even if I could, I did not feel like I wanted to.In fact, his presence in my bedroom was even more entertaining than I could ever imagine. He propped his head up as he looked at me."Well, don't just stand there. I don't b
Garrett It is only a tree that would stand in one position and wait for things to be brought to him. But not me.Garrett Sanderson was no tree.I desired him even though I did not really approve of what I wanted but it was all Jace for me. I had intentionally come to his room and engaged him in a conversation with hopes that I would spend ample enough time with him. Jace seemed more or less wary of my presence around him and I could totally understand his dilemma.I mean, I was in a dilemma myself and could not even help the fact that my wolf was craving the boy. There was only one way to figure out what it was that I really wanted. Perhaps, this might even be a curiosity which I wanted to accomplish for myself. Hence, I decided to pretend to sleep.I was really skeptical that he would let me stay but a great part of me believed that he was too good-hearted a person to send me out of his room. I knew when he had gone to take his bath and of course when he had come out of the bathroom
Jacob I was pissed this morning. It was all channeled toward Garrett as it seemed to me that he was doing his very best to get on my nerves.I had been on my way to go get something which I could not quite recall at the moment when I noticed he was headed for Jace's bedroom.It was totally unacceptable. I mean, he probably had been hoping that I would be passing and decided to go in there.Since Jace's room was close to the staircase, I decided to sit there a little and eavesdrop on their conversation. There was something really strange about Garrett and it was the fact he seemed less distracted by anything and was interested in Jace's life.Usually, his ADHD would never let him focus. I waited with hopes he would leave the room but then, it was getting late and I was getting really tired of waiting.I decided to take a run into the night and started out quickly.The night was quite chilly but I was a werewolf and would get warm sooner than expected. I took it off my shirt and starte
JaceIt was really weird for me and I could not understand what was actually going on. It would seem that Garrett had been close to me and then he fled.Everything here was happening so fast and I was beginning to fear for my sanity. My heart was beating so fast these days as I did not know what was going wrong. I eventually managed to go to bed and when I woke in the morning, I had a feeling that I most likely would not last long here with them. I had to start making alternative arrangements for my safety should there be a possibility that I lose this job.I went over to where I had kept my phone the day I had come here so I could call my former employer. At least, to talk to him civilly which would earn me a little bit of compassion from him if things go south here.But alas, it was not there. That seemed really confusing as I was certain that indeed I had left it there."Where is it?" I muttered as I looked everywhere. Yet, my phone was not there which is when I panicked.Here I wa
JaceI had been biding my time as everything seemed strange. I kept aiming to go outside and had even left everything in my bedroom so as not to seem suspicious. I had come here after all with nothing and would gradually figure my way out and maybe save for another phone. They could keep the other one for all I care.I left the house through the back at this time. Harold was not back yet too, so this gave me the edge. It was really hard maneuvering my way around as even the guy that usually stayed outside barely was out chatting with the gardener. I had no idea that he had come too and was about to go off when they turned to my side."Who's there?" The other guy demanded.I know if I ran, I would be out on a full sprint. Besides, there was a good possibility they were here for the same reason. I decided to act cool and step forward."I'm the one." I responded."Well, what are you doing around here snooping around?" The gardener asked me."I'm trying to find something for Master Damon.
Peter Everyone seemed to have been moving past the whole shenanigans surrounding the new boy although I simply could not evolve. I did not like what I was feeling at this point and had to try everything in the book to get him out of my head. I had no one to speak to or at the very least lay out my complaints because it would only make me weird.This night of Damon's party, I had actually seen Jace sneak away from the apartment. I had a feeling that he was probably trying to get away. Perhaps, he had noticed how I stared a lot at him and how I kept on trying to act like I was displeased with his presence. But then, I kept it all inside of my heart, trying my very best not to show.I had been hopeful he would make it out of this place. Away from me against the entire protesting from my wolf. I just wanted him to be safe from a sicko like me.But Harold the shrimp had to go on out of his way to bring him back home. And in that moment, it dawned on me that I would never be comfortable in
Donald I stood there as I took a long drag from the cigarette. I was sweating profusely and I felt a lot of anger running through my veins at that moment.The man seated on the chair was groaning weakly. Wait, did I just call this beast a man? There was absolutely nothing human about him and I was just getting ready to deliver him his final rites."So, you're not going to talk, eh?" I demanded as I turned to look at him. Throwing the cigarette to the floor as I stubbed it out with my feet."No." He responded.I had been with him for days now and he would not bulge. But right now, my patience had run out and it was going to be tit for tat. I either get what I want or I would give him what he deserves."You're strong but if you're not going to tell me anything, I would have to dispose of you." I said to him,"Do your worst." He muttered.I went over to him as I signalled the men to hold him up. Of course, he could not fight as he was wrapped with silver chains. There was even one acros
DamonIt has been a while since such a moment happened between my brothers and I and it felt as if a new beginning had started. I was totally flustered but I learnt to relax eventually. It took a while but eventually, it was over and done with as Harold stated that I should be allowed some air. Peter was the first to walk back to his seat and he really looked pale at this point. I was worried about him and then turned my attention to him."Damon , I don't suppose you saw the person who was following you or dare I say people but it proves one thing, we're all not safe out there and for now, it would be best that we come back home on time. I was also thinking of suggesting that we now go out in pairs, that way, there would be backup at all times." He said, looking at me.That definitely was not the reason for the backups. It had everything to do with me and the fact that I was frolicking with a vampire. It was clear to me that Harold wanted to know who I was hanging with and I still cou
Damon Seriously, what was with all this friction? I mean, hell it has been established that I was with a vampire but Harold was just being crazy. First, he had been mad that I was with a vampire and now, he was mad that I let him go. What on earth did they want from me? Perhaps, I should have grabbed the vampire and brought him back home so they could kill him, well I have made a promise to Ralph and there is no way that I would be breaking that trust. I mean, look at Peter here. I was certain that Harold had been yelling at him when I came back and from how prickly he had been when I complimented what I suspected to be a tattoo, I knew something was terribly wrong.I mean why not focus on one before delving into the other, right? That is how things should be done and not spend a lot of precious time whining and groaning about me. I was about to lash out when Peter suddenly asked where Jace was and was alert. I mean, I was not planning on being the reason that he gets to discover the
Peter "It's just a tattoo. It's nothing, right?" I asked him."Is everything okay?" Jacob suddenly came inside as he seemed interested. Garrett went and sat on a sofa close by.At this point, I was beginning to feel really worried about how Harold was looking at me. I could literally feel my heart beating in my head and all I needed was an explanation of some sorts. Anything just to point me in the right direction of what he was talking about. Jacob too looked confused and I realised he did not know what was causing the old man to act this way over a work of art. Apart from Garrett, another person in the house who really appreciated art was Jacob and I was looking forward to him embracing me with arms open wide.Just then when everyone was in this moment of shock and dilemma, Damon decided that it was time to return. Seriously, that was not what I wanted. I was hoping we would be done with my issue so we can face him when he returns. I wanted to ask Harold to hold off my case so we w
Harold Things were beginning to go out of control and I was losing my wits with so much that I needed to worry about. The boys were beginning to fall apart and it was clear that the wish of my Alpha might be the moon goddess actually will. I mean, what was there not to think about when it seemed as if everyone was trying to outdo the other. I decided that I would take one more step and trial towards trying to mend everything that had been broken.I reached out to Jacob. He has always been the most sensible of the bunch and even now at the moment of chaos, he was the only one still trying his best to make everything fit properly. He had his eyes on the game and still had eyes for family. I suggested that he goes and talks to Garrett who I still noticed was angry because of the scent Jace was wearing. But then again, I still had to stay and wonder what it was about Jace that had everyone fighting each other. Certainly, I did not want to think this was like my situation as that would be
Damon "Is this okay for you?" I asked Ralph as we entered. My phone started ringing in my pocket again and I was tired. Seriously, could I not be left alone to do my own thing? This was beginning to feel like I was being baby sat."Aren't you going to take your call?" Ralph asked me."It's home. I'll speak to them later on my way out. Right now, I need to know that you're fine with this." I said to him,He walked around and then went and closed the curtain that I had drawn open and then smiled at me. We had arrived and instantly I started getting him settled. I had taken him to my bedroom as I had thick black curtains and he could use them there. Although, the entire house was at his mercy right now but very soon the sun would come up."It's cool. So long the sun does not penetrate, I'll be fine. Thanks so much for everything. It's really hard to see anyone of your kind that's willing to help even though it would help them too." He said to me,"Well, we're not all the same. But stil
Peter Now it was sealed and apparently that was something I would never be able to escape. I felt really sad at this point because it would definitely turn really bad for me and I did not want that. I could not imagine that I would have to risk the life of my family, especially my brothers, at this point. All I could do was begin wishing to the moon goddess that he would be killed by bounty hunters before anything happens. That way, I might actually escape the fact that I had a blood oath.He looked really chill over what had just happened and I smiled at him. There he was, willing to listen to everything I have to say now that he had me in his clutches. If he was also about to do anything for me just for an opportunity to meet with my entire brotherhood, then that means the price would be far greater. Something right now told me that he wanted our lives or something. He was a rogue and a crook. Definitely someone I could not attempt trusting or I very well have to acknowledge that I
Damon I now had an ally from the other world and now I needed to start making plans. I had to ensure that he would be safe and wished that our kind did not have this sharp sense of smell. This was when I asked him where he wanted to hide and he told me he had no idea. Now, the tunnels were the only option but it might be rather risky as it was a known vampire hiding spot. That was when a not so bright idea crossed my mind. I asked him if he would be willing to follow me somewhere that he would be safe and he looked at me. He still did not trust me obviously and everything that I was saying right now was probably sounding too good to be true. I would definitely have to try harder if I wanted him to believe me."Listen, I had this home where I used to throw parties with my friends. It belongs to me but I've not been there for sometime now. I could drive you there and then help you settle in. That would be our base and we can work from there." I said to him,"And how do I know that you
Jacob Everyone was being smart and acting how they desired and I totally did understand it. There were no more groups and despite the fact Harold had asked that we work together, it was everyone on his own which did not seem fair at all. I needed something to keep me busy with and after I had seen Peter in Damon's room, my fears were confirmed. There was indeed trouble in paradise and he was suspicious of his brother at this point. I did not want to go inside because I pretty much would not want Damon distrusting me too. He might be cool and finally understand why Peter has acted that way but when it comes to me, it would be a whole different ball game on its own. Now, I needed to focus and see what I would do to stay relevant and contribute. I made my way to my bedroom as I started reviewing my lists and compilation. Today was the day when I would have to go check out on everyone else that I had yet to look into. That van had to be found by all means, so I knew that I would have to
Peter I looked at him for a moment, his expression daring me as if he wanted to see if I would back down. Well, I was going to prove to him that I was not a pussy or whatever he was imagining in that head of his that I might be. I started taking off my shirt and then went to sit down on the bed while he looked at me with a smile upturned but never actually forming at the corners of his lips. He then asked me to lay back as I might need to relax and I did so when he asked me if I would be needing a drink or something that would help distract me from the pain. "Well, it's not like we get drunk like humans do, so, there's pretty much no point getting a drink. I'll see through it with my head clear." I said to him,"You're one determined son of a gun and that's great. I guess we would have to choose what tattoo you would be getting and where. You see me, I pretty much have them everywhere but you can select." He said to me and before he would go on to speak, I decided on what I would be
