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
Harold I had to leave the house this morning as there were really urgent matters needing my attention. The Alpha demanded that I report to the pack house as there might be new rules."Another one went missing." I heard him say as I entered.The Beta was present as well and the Luna. I was worried because there was this look on the face of the alpha that told me everything was definitely not okay."My Alpha." I greeted him respectfully."Harold. Please sit." He said to me and I went over to sit where he gestured.I was rarely asked to sit down unless there was a very serious matter of urgency on ground. I could tell everything was not okay but turned to the Luna."My Luna." I greeted with a bow aimed her way."Harold." She acknowledged me."Beta Raphael." I greeted as well."Old Harold, it's been a while." He said to me,I smiled. There was this understanding I had with the beta. We were just chill."Where are the boys, Harold?" Alpha Ethan asked me.I was confused right now as I look
Peter I managed to get my head out of my ass and focus on the race. Eventually, I emerged victorious for the first round. I kept looking around and realised that there was no sign whatsoever of Jace in this place. Perhaps, it was just a figment of my imagination.I decided to go wait out for my final race in the car as I needed to keep a clear mind. I got to the car in the garage and shut the door after me. Leaning the seat backwards, I put on the headset with me as all I desired right now was some moments to clear everything out.Jace was really messing with my mind and I could not figure out the best way to push him out of my mind. It would seem that the more I tried hard to forget him, the harder it was for me to focus.I was playing my songs for some time when my phone started ringing. It was Damon calling me and I quickly sat up to answer."Yo." I hailed him."We saw you win." He said.I noticed that in the background, he seemed to be in a car."Are you driving?" I asked him."N
Jacob I had the inclination that it would be really great if I could get my brothers to go cheer Peter up at his game. I mean, we were the fantastic four after all and if one of us was winning, it was definitely all of us.I asked Jace if he wanted to tag along but the young man was insistent that he would much rather stick to his job as there was a lot on his desk. Hell, I would give anything for him to go with us by making it seem a must would cause me more questioning looks from my brothers who were already staring at me."What? The poor boy probably has never seen a motorbike race before." I said to them,"Whatever. Let's go " Garrett was still in his grumpy mood.We headed to the garage and despite managing to convince Damon to ride with me, Garrett was more or less going to drive himself. I liked to wish that Jace was driving with me but as we started out, I slowed down as I noticed Garrett was speaking to Jace. Before I would have time to eavesdrop, he sped up and was already
Garrett We all went into the library and Jacob being the last shut the door securely."What's with you and the house manager?" Peter demanded.I was angry at his mannerism towards Jace."His name is Jace." I corrected him."Whatever. Can you fix this?" He asked me as he placed the device on the table.I was so tempted to respond to his first attitude but we had more pressing matters at hand. Besides, I would not encourage him getting closer to Jace without my knowledge. I had to keep everyone away from the boy and detested that Jacob was being too nice to him.Yes, I might have myself some doubts but I did cherish him so much that it was becoming harder to conceal.I grabbed a seat closer and sat down as I inspected the device. My brothers hovered around and once it became boring, they all went and found things to distract them.Jacob was seated at a corner going through a book he pulled out.Peter was hovering around and Damon, he was on his phone.I twinkled around as it was hard f
Damon Now this was totally unacceptable. How on earth were there bounty hunters running wild in our city at this time? It did not feel right and this put me in a solemn mood as we headed back home.The moment we were locked upstairs, I had myself nearly hysterical with questions. I mean, Garrett had to fix the damned device those bastards left and then, we would determine just how deadly it was. However, I felt within me, so much hate and anger at the fact they had taken one of us away.This was bad. Those bounty hunters were merely humans themselves with heightened gadgets who felt the world was their oyster. But not to me. I was going to be their biggest nightmare. All my life, I detested every tale about them and sought for an opportunity to put a permanent end to them all.Everyone waited and then, finally, we got the bad news. The device could actually spot werewolves and this meant the pack would not be safe for long. All they needed to do was begin to scan areas and see where
Garrett Damon was beginning to reason differently. I would never have believed that a day would actually come when I would hear this brother of mind make some sense and it is not about women's butts.He seemed different since he heard about the bounty hunters. It was almost like he had been waiting for an opportunity to get on their case and now it presented itself, he was definitely not letting go. Something had snapped within him as soon as he heard about them and I needed this part of him staying put than his lavish lifestyle."I never knew a day would come when I would agree with Damon but he has a point. Why now?" I asked."Maybe they are more confident now they have the device or it led them here. For all I know, they might have chased a werewolf here." Peter said."That's not possible. This device cannot capture something too far away. It's within a certain radius and if you ask me, something lured them here." I said."Or someone." Jacob said."Guys, what if someone they captu
Jace Everyone was acting strange. I could not understand why it was being so weird around me.I had decided to stay back when Jacob had come and asked me to join them to see Peter play. Even though I wanted to go, I reminded myself that I was here to work and I should not be seen slacking off my duties.I also recalled how Peter detested me and he probably would not want me at his games. If he happens to lose, he might just blame me for showing up there. Hence, I vehemently declined the offer to show up.I followed them downstairs and just as they were beginning to leave, Garrett pulled up beside me and waved me over. I went to him nervously. I would say of all the brothers, he had me in a knotted stomach point more than the rest."Sir?" I muttered as I approached him."Are you really sure you want to stay back?" He asked me."Yes, Sir. I have a lot of things to do." I responded politely."You know you could come with me, I'll speak to Harold or better yet, I'll assist you when I ret
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
Harold Kids would never understand the consequences of actions that they take and I had been hoping that my presence would be enough reminder for them. I was wrong. More than I had ever been, especially when Garrett went out of his way to accuse his own brother. He did not state it out clearly but his accusations and pointers were really beginning to blow that steam and I knew Damon did not fail to understand that. His words broke my heart especially as I saw the tears that he had been trying hard to hold back. I did not see a boy trying to betray his own, what I saw was a man that has been trying to risk his life to protect his own.But then, another became clear to me and it was how far gone down the drain every and any thoughts of a united front door between them was. I mean, it was now open that there was both strife and competition between them to see who was better at handling their matters and it was the one thing that I had been trying my very best to avoid. Seeing it beginni
