Azrael pov:The blood covered the floor, it covered my hands, it was everywhere. I was struggling to breathe, this can't be happening…He's dead… he's been shot…Scrambling to my feet I ran to the window to see for any sign of a shooter, someone took him out. Why? He had nothing to do with Greenwood or Donny, so why take him out?Seeing no one in the vast openness of their land I moved back, going to the door and leaving him there. I run past butlers and maids covered in my Father's blood. Nearly falling down the stairs I reach the dining room, my mother and brother stand to their feet."Oh my god! Azy!""What the fuck happened?!"They rushed to me but I couldn't speak, all the words died in my throat. They reached me and checked me for any injuries, their hands getting bloody."Did your Father do this?!" She sounded angry. When I didn't speak she she looked worried, almost like she knew."Where is he?" I could see the fear in their eyes. My silence brought nothing but more suffering.
Amilia pov:I was breathless and messy, I had forgotten what it was like to be with her.Azrael's body moved on top of me, slow and methodical with every thrust of her hips. Her hands gripped the sheets for dear life as she kept her face buried in my neck. The room filled with desperate cries of passion, the sweet love we shared expressing in our moans. I clung to her like she was my lifeline, a need I'd never felt so strong. Heated kisses pressed to my neck, leaving marks and bruises for those to see come morning.I couldn't form words, the pleasure I felt was too strong. It was just her and I, our body's coming together as one. It made all the pain and suffering feel as though it was worth it."Amilia…" She groaned into my neck, her hand squeezing my leg tighter."Please… I-I'm so close." My nails raked down her back, I was right on the edge.She whimpered and nodded, her hips speeding up. She let my leg go and grabbed at the sheets tightly, kissing me when I wrapped my legs around
Jeremy pov:"Thanks for letting me stay here, things have been hectic to say the least." I fluff up my pillow for the couch I was gonna sleep on."It's no problem." Damien shouted from across the house. He'd been kind enough to offer up his house for me to stay at till things calmed down. I'm not gonna complain, he's nice, he's hot, and it's a free place to stay at.I turn around to ask for a blanket when I find him standing at the hallway entrance In just a towel. My fucking God is he ripped. God put his whole pussy into sculpting this man.As much as I'd like to ogle him I notice his gaze is sadder and not as joyful as it usually is. He nods and moves to the kitchen island, pouring himself a drink."I-I need a blanket." I motioned to the couch. He nods and downs the drink in one go, heading to a closet right after."Will this work?" He tossed me a soft fuzzy black blanket. I smiled and placed it on the couch, trying to not let my eyes wander for too long."Yeah… is everything alrig
Azrael pov:"I know where to go." Dropping the folder of stuff I try to leave but Rose stops me, grabbing my arm and making me face her."I'm coming with-""No, stay with him. Send some men 30 minutes after I leave." I try to pull away but her grip is tight in my arm."Why? What-""I don't have time to explain, I've wasted an hour and a half already. The place is far, I have to go now." I rip my arm from her and book it out of the chopshop.Going out to my car I get in and take off immediately, trying to swerve through traffic and people. The house was almost an hour away, I haven't been there since I was a kid.It's Ryker…He's behind this?I don't understand…_____________________Amilia pov:"She's so fucking stupid." I grunted as Jeremy drove us to Axe's place."She's being smart and careful. You would too if your friend was taken." I rolled my eyes and sunk into the seat. I wanted to go with her, I could help, I'm not sure how, but I know I could. Instead she has me dragged away
Azrael pov:"Where am I?" Everything hurt, my body, my head, all of it. Amilia held my hand tighter and smiled at me."The chopshop." She looked tired but relieved. I groaned as I sat up, wincing when I felt a stitch strain. "Easy, you shouldt be moving." She placed a hand on my chest to try and move me back down. I shook my head and continued to sit up."Lily, where's Lily? Is she alright?" I kept trying to get out but she firmly sat me down, not letting me move."You need to rest, you've only just woken up." She cupped my cheeks and tilted my head to look at her.Sighing, I nodded my head and sat back on the bed. The room looked a little messy, some clothes and food wrapping on the side table."How long was I out for?" Worry gripped my heart. She smiled and sat beside me."Only a week.""A WEEK!?" I shot up but she pulled me back down. My body screamed at me for the sudden movement."Sit, you're moving too much.""I've been out for a week? Where are the others? What's been happenin
Amilia pov:Things at the manor have been hectic to say the least, I've caught Damien and Jeremy at least 3 times in the past week. It was bad every time, they just couldn't do it somewhere normal?Axe usually kept to himself, worked out in the gym, or was dragged to watch romcoms with Emily. I pray for him, those movies are awful. On my end I have been decently ignored by Azrael.She stayed late in her study, did work calls and paperwork from there, or was hanging with Axe and her brother. We had just recently removed her stitches and she was feeling fine because of it. Now she wouldn't stay still... or at least hang around me.Which is weird, she's usually more than happy to be around me. Especially if I'm trying to get into her pants. I've been looking for her for the past 30 minutes and still can't find her, I think she's hiding from me."Damien, have you seen your sister?" I stopped the guy from walking. He rubs his neck and toys with the towel around him, he had just gotten back
Azrael pov:Things have stayed relatively calm within my house, the worst is Emily getting drunk or my brother and Jeremy doing something stupid. Tonight neither of those have happened and I'm grateful.We all decided to do a big dinner together, music playing in the background while I cooked with Amilia. The others either sat at the table or were grabbing and making other things for dinner.I didn't really pay attention to most things, just happy to have Amilia by my side as I cooked Spaghetti. She didn't really help but I didn't mind, I like when she doesn't, it makes her a true princess.Currently she's drinking a glass of red wine and standing beside me, she had a small frown on her face. Turning to me she leans against the counter with an unpleasant face."How long are you gonna let Axe stare at your ass?" I lift a brow and stare at her. I thought I felt eyes on me, I just chose to brush it off."Are you jealous?" I teased her, leaning down and pressing a kiss to her cheek."Yes,
Azrael pov:My eyes shoot open as I grab the gun from under my pillow. Sitting up I aim the weapon at the person standing above my bed. They step back and hold their hands up. Getting a better look I recognize who it is."Rose? What the hell?" I whisper, slowly and quietly getting out of bed."Do you pull a gun on everyone?" She said a little too loud. Looking at Amilia I find her still sleeping peacefully."Let's talk somewhere else. I don't want to wake her." I grab some sweats and a shirt before leading us out of the room.Shutting the door quietly we move to my study, going out to the balcony. Grabbing a cigarette I light it up and wait for her to speak."We're all here. Lily is in her room sleeping and Johnathan has moved Claudio into his own room." She leaned on the railing, looking over the vast land behind my house."Is he awake?" I let out a cloud of smoke. She shakes her head and sighs."No, but I think it's safer out here anyway." Rose was never one to worry, not even over
Amilia pov:Sneaking out of bed I turn off Azrael's alarms to make sure she doesn't wake up at her regular time. Quietly slipping out the bedroom I sneak my way over to the boys room. Entering in I see little bodies laying underneath their blankets."I know neither of you are asleep." I call out with a smile. Like clockwork they sit up with wide smiles on their faces.Jumping out of bed they scamper over to me and wrap me in big hugs. I hug back and start to tickle them, filling the room with laughter. Stopping quickly I hold my finger up to my lip."Do you know what day it is?" I ask them, watching as they mimic me shushing all of us."Daddys birthday!" Ryker gave a mischievous smile, his feet moving and unable to stand still."Exactly. We can't wake her up yet so let's be quiet." They nodded and followed me out of the room and down to the kitchen.I let them help me make breakfast in bed for Azy. Getting out pans and tools to cook with, I task the boys on getting ingredients from th
Long chapter & Mostly smut______________________________Amilia pov:The bell rings as I enter the Cafe door, looking around I find Emily and Rose waiting for me at a table. Giving a small smile I walk over and sit myself with them. We all greet each other and start to dish gossip."We're thinking of starting soon." Rose takes a sip of her tea, a faint smile on her lips."Aw, I can't wait till Axe and I try." Emily claps her hand and praises Rose."Kids are a lot of work and I don't even do most of it." I crossed my legs and sipped my coffee, ordering a snack for my drink."Really?" I shrug my shoulders at Rose's confusion."Yeah, Az does most of it. I help when she allows me and when I want to, which is often." A server comes over and takes our food orders before leaving us with our conversation."How much do you do?" Emily looked interested in what I had to say."I dunno. Breakfast, dinner sometimes, changing diapers, going on runs in the park, playtime, family time, temper tantrum
Amilia pov:My breathing came out even but a little heavy as I ran. I had the boys in a double stroller as I ran through Central Park. I had a hefty lead on Azrael, she was somewhere behind me further back.She lifted weights and did better with calisthenics then I did but I had better cardio. I ran 3 miles every other day but walked regularly. It helps that I mostly worried about work than anything else.Az has really taken to being a mostly stay at home parent with the boys. So much over the past few months that she's considered herself out of shape. I didn't really see it, she still kinda had abs, just a little more weight on her.Difference is when she packs it she still looks buff or at least like she has muscle. When I gain it I look and feel fat. She tells me otherwise but I don't take it seriously considering she thinks she has a 'dad bod' now. She just looked a little beefier if anything.The boys coo and I take a moment, stopping myself at a bench to stretch and check up on
Azrael pov:"You just called me fat!" Amilia threw a pillow at me but I successfully ducked it and hid behind the couch with a pillow to shield myself.Damien and Claudio had come over and were currently cowering behind a chair together to hide from her. She looked pissed but I still found it cute… and a little hot."I said bigger! We've been through this, I like the weight gain. You look good, healthy even." I defend myself but this seemed to piss her off as well."So I looked sickly when I was thinner!?" She grabbed a shoe and chucked it at me but I moved out of the way and could hear Damien whine behind me."No, that is not at all what I said. My love, you look amazing no matter what." I tried to make peace, anything to not face the wrath of a shoe to the face.She narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath in, letting it out she walked closer to me, still holding a shoe. I stood still in a confused and slightly aroused fear of her. She held the shoe up like it was a weapon and spoke
Azrael:1 year laterA year ago from now everything was extremely hectic. We were basically at war, fighting for our lives, and watching people close to us die. Now I'm happy and in Paris with the love of my life.Time flies and it's so wild. I was 25 when I met Amilia, still young and uncaring of everything around me. I'm 29 now, I have goals and ambitions that I want. I'm a different person from then and I couldn't be happier.We'd been here for about a year and we're finally having the wedding. I wanted to do it immediately but Amilia thought it'd be better to wait and give us time to relax from everything. I'm glad we did. It just gave me more time to appreciate her.I smooth out my tux to try and calm myself. Looking into the mirror I found my reflection. My hair was shorter again, it was long for some time. I looked a little older but not by much.The door to my room busted open and my men fell in with happy smiles on their faces. They hugged me and cheered me on about getting m
Azrael pov:"Let me go!" I thrash in my brother's grip, needing to get away to find Amilia. He held on tightly and tried to keep me from moving."You're hurt. Stop trying to make it worse." He held me back and I kept thrashing around."I need to find her, I don't care if I'm hurt!" Pushing him away I stumble out if his grip and push myself forward.My body was in excruciating pain, I struggled to breathe, move, and even look around. None of it mattered though, I needed to find Amilia. He sighed and followed after me with Claudio on his trail."Fine..." He grumbled and reluctantly chased after me as I ran down the streets.The city was littered in bodies, rubble, ash, and civil servants. Most of Greenwood's men were dead or in the process of killing themselves. My men helped civilians as well to hide from cops and not be taken or killed.I ran my way past people, moving around cars and rubble, I was focused on finding one thing. Damien and Claudio went their own ways to find her as wel
Azrael pov:I felt light, really light...My eyes shot open and I was gasping for air, I looked around to find a vast open field. My heart is racing at this point, the last thing I remember is being on top of my building.I was holding Ryker and then the building... it fell into the river, so why am I here? Standing to my feet I looked around and saw nothing but more of the wide open feild. The sun above me was blinding, the clouds were fluffy and spread out.A noise behind me pulled my attention away from the sky. Looking back I saw a familiar building. It was the one Ryker and I used to play in, only it looked brand new. No damages to the outside, instead it gave a warm and cozy feeling when looking at it.Carefully and cautiously I walked towards it, going up the stairs as I held the railing. The porch didn't creak nor did it look as damaged as it used to. Grabbing the handle to the door I slowly opened it to reveal the inside.It was fully furnished, the old, moldy, and broken fur
No one pov:New York city bustled along, cars honking because of traffic, people yelling in the streets, even cops harassing some people. The many people were unaware of what would happen today, unaware of what is to come.A command is given through a com, one to throw the entire city into a spiral. The click of a button ruptured screams from all around the city, a massive explosion taking out 4 buildings sends the people of the city into utter fear.Fire Trucks, Police, and medical staff of all sort move quickly, trying to find the source of the explosion. A car races down the street along with the cop cars, weaving in and out of moving and non moving cars.Skidding to a stop the door opens and a man rushes out, moving into the building to help. Getting inside and searching around Axe manages to find one of the bombs. A small looking thing capable of destroying so much more."I got it." Tapping his ear piece he carefully moves closer to it so he can disarm the device."Police look pi
Azrael pov:A month of work had gone by. My men and Greenwood's fight for turf, many die and many more join to end this all. Everyone is on edge, unsure how any of this will play out.We were getting hurt more often, hiding from the public, and doing everything in our power to kill his men. It's gotten to the point where Jeremy and Amilia had to help, she's taken to work since the incident.She is crueler and colder than before but I understood, she lost something dear to her. I did my best to lead us down a path that would have less casualties and have a possibility for survival.Each day that past made me feel crazy, I needed to see Ryker, I needed to end this all. This is neither here nor there at the moment, I was in the car with Jeremy and Amilia. He drove batshit crazy as police chased us through the city "They're catching up!" I shouted from the back seat. He laughed and turned the music up louder."As if!" Shifting the gear he pressed the gas and slipped between two cars befo
