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
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
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
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.

Peter "It's just a tattoo. It's nothing, right?" I asked him."Is everything okay?" Jacob suddenly came inside as he seemed interested.

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
