Peter I had to ask him right this moment because I was actually sick and tired of the charades. I felt like the villain for what I had done to Jace and that just hurt badly. It made me wonder if I was this monster that I was trying to create within me and yet, a voice within told me this was not my kind of person. The more I gave it thoughts, the worst I felt about the part I had been playing all along. So, when I asked Garrett, I only wanted to know just what was wrong with me and if I was the only one who felt this way about Jace. The hope was that maybe my vulnerability would make him look upon me with pity and I knew that usually worked on my brother. But then, Garrett stopped in his tracks and asked me if I did recall that Jace was actually a man and I felt really had. I clearly had backed the wrong horse this time. I mean, I should have just kept my mouth shut rather than trying right. So, I told him it was nothing as I was only trying to find out if there was something that
PeterI would never know how long I had been laying there but it was very late when I heard someone opening their door. I knew instantly that it was Garrett and although I wanted to remain on my bed, my curiosity got the better of me. Certainly, he is going to have that talk with Jace but I wanted to know if talk was the only thing they did. I decided to get up slowly and opened my door just as he was let into Jace's. I did not want to make any sound as I slowly opened my door, doing my best to be silent.I would never think in this life that I would be prepared for what I heard in that room when I came downstairs. I had managed to sneak around, and I came out in front of Jace's door and I listened in on them. I heard their discussion and then I could hear the passion that followed which made me really shocked. I could not believe it but it was clear to me that Garrett had looked me straight in the eyes and lied to me. I was even more angry that he had betrayed me for a young man that
Damon Everyone seemed to have something they were hiding and I was at this point not feeling it anymore. I mean, I have done my best to try and be myself before my brothers and all but they had to use the one little flaw that I possessed against me. My parents thought that I was some irrational shit piece that would probably bring them embarrassment and I was starting to wonder if it was because of me that they had been delaying introducing us to the pack. Seeing how my brothers were being made to stand out, I started making my own decisions in my head. I might seem to be in league with them but I would go out of my way to start my own investigations. I did not really care what they would say but I would do my best to ensure that I have it all sorted out before they would even get the opportunity to make any sort of argument over my behaviour. I went back to the duo that had been fighting because I had a feeling that standing out there with Jacob and our parents was obstructing the
DamonIt was Garrett who stopped me dead in my tracks and I was really angry when he spoke. This was obviously because he had seen me speaking to Jace and did not know what was going on and I on the other hand could not see why that even bothered him."I don't think you should go out today, Damon. I don't mean anything bad or wrong but we all know how you can get by with your temper. What if you run into one and lose your cool? We would not even be there to help you." He said to me,I felt insulted to the core and did not see this as a concern at all. Jacob had already stated that everyone was hot headed yesterday and now, he wanted to make it seem like they did not remember that I was the actual problem. I faced him with such a warning in my eyes."Did I ever ask any of you here to help me? I mean, if there's a fight and we're all called to fight, do you think that I would be the first to cry out, healer boy? Yesterday, all of you kept making me look like a villain in the presence of
Damon I drove away as quickly as possible with my heart excited until I came up to the outskirts. There were a lot of things about this place that made me regret not coming here soon. These people might be considered the black sheeps of our city but they certainly did go out of their way to strike me as a lot who survived and partied. Hell, there were all sorts of clubs around here, and bars. I started driving and when they noticed my car, I already knew what was going through their mind. Such a flashy far in a place like this was something no one would really want to look forward to. I did not want to take any chances, so, I securely parked my important things in my bag and came down. I made certain the car was locked although I did not trust that they would not try and break the window. As I walked away, I flashed them the keys just so they knew that I had my eyes on them. I started going towards the very first bar I found and the huge man who was sitting around blocked my way. H
DamonApparently, they had all been observing us and when I drank, it gave them some sort of kinship and respect. I looked at the woman and she smiled at me with such kindness in her eyes."Feeling tipsy?" The man asked me."Tipsy? I could go the whole day on this and not be drunk." I said to him,I was sure about this because I was a werewolf and even when tried to, being drunk has never lasted with us."Well, I'm not going to cost you your job, so, I would not challenge you on this day. But you see how that woman is smiling, that is why I wanted you to drink. When you go to Rome, you become a Roman. That's how you blend in although in your case, your choice of outfit would only make you stand out." He said in a near whisper to me.All this while he had been trying to get me all riled up, I could not believe it but he had actually been trying to make me blend in with them and I had nearly scored myself a bad record. I decided that I would make it up to all of them as I told him that
Damon"Is there a problem?" I asked him."No. Nothing like that at all, just that she was here looking for him for a whole day and suddenly, she was gone. Vanished like that and it's kind of suspicious because no one saw her leave." He said to me,"What do you think?" I asked him."Listen, I feel this is something dangerous and I don't really want to get into it, okay? I don't know what I think and I don't even know why you're looking for him. If they said he's a hard person to you, then I just have to tell you that in the time that he was here, I never for once considered him as a bad person. Whoever they said he murdered just had to deserve it." He said to me,"You know it's funny that we're drinking and I don't know your name." I said to him,"Owen." He responded and I nodded."Well, Owen. I think he's innocent too and I just wanted to ask him some questions so I can prove his innocence." I said to him,He was observing me for sometime as if he would be able to read the truth from
Garrett I knew the tension in the home was a lot but then, I too was getting tensed up. When I woke up and saw Damon speaking to Jace, I was really worried. I did not want anyone hovering around the boy right now as he was still processing. That was why when I had heard Damon speaking to him, I quickly rose up and started going there to check and see what it was that he was speaking to him about. Damon did not want me to know and I only asked Jace if he was okay and he nodded. He still had that look in his eyes from the secret I had shared with him last night but then, what was really exciting was the fact that he trusted me enough to give me what I wanted. I had been expecting that they would all ask me at that time what my finding was but everyone seemed rather invested in other things and Damon was already preparing to go away. Jacob started telling us about the really devastating news and how he suspected that there were rogue werewolves in our territory. This actually made me
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,
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
