Killian: I watched from a distance as they performed the surgery on Elena. The window that was in the operating room gave me a full view of her, and I had to admit, I couldn’t help but admire the Russian beauty. It was only a shame that she didn’t even know what she was capable of doing, and that she was also a D’Caprio woman. Lia, the woman that I grew up loving, watched her from the window. I read the guilt in her eyes, and though I wasn’t sure whether it was toward the injured woman or toward herself. The woman should have known better than to choose a man who would not put her above everyone and everything else, but then again, I should have known that she wasn’t as wise as I thought that she was since I saw her. I looked at the watch that was in my hand as I waited for the sun to go down. They were far too stupid if they believed that I was going to let them be with the demon. To say the least, I needed to be the one to kill him. The last thing that I wanted was to be one
Alvize:“If it isn’t our favorite demon.” I said, smiling sarcastically as I entered the basement where the fucked up bastard was tied.His eyes met mine and he growled, trying to free himself from the retrains that held him in place. The steel was supposed to keep him tied until we aimed to kill him. But considering the fact that the blade was in Italy, it was going to take us a bit more time before that happened. Needless to say, he was more worthy to me alive than dead; therefore, keeping him alive for a while longer was something that I didn’t mind. Provided, of course, that he didn’t annoy me enough to kill him.“I take it that your little wolf is the one who sent you here, isn’t she?” He asked and I chuckled, shaking my head at him before I took a step forward. I knew that the man was trying to test my patience to kill him. The metal burned him, forcing him to feel the fire as it coursed through his veins, and that was a torment that he wanted to stop. To him, being dead right
Elena:My chest rose and fell with each breath that I took as I fought the pain that I felt.My head hurt despite my sleep, and though I was supposed to be unconscious, I couldn’t help but feel everything that there was around me.The beeping sounds.The voices of the doctors.Everything just played in my mind behind the closed shields that were called eyelids.“I am curious to know why you are fighting this,” I heard his voice, the Lycan’s, in my head. I opened my eyes, though I was aware that they were not open, and looked at the man who smirked. The doctors were working on my wound while I lay still and I frowned as I realized that my soul wasn’t in my body. “He is my mate, and I think that this is enough reason,” I said, taking a step toward him. The doctors scrambled around in the room and I shook my head, knowing that the Lycan was having this effect on me to ensure that we spoke. “The main question is, what are YOU gaining out of this? Surely you don’t expect me to believe tha
Alvize:“Why didn’t anyone call me?” I asked, frowning as I heard what happened to my mate. I ran toward her and took her hand in mine, feeling her pulse despite being able to hear it as I tried processing what happened. I had walked out of the basement with an amused smile despite the anger that I felt. The demon played with more fire than I thought he would, and though it was hard to keep myself controlled in front of him. However, now, the anger that I felt at my family for keeping something like this from me was one that I couldn’t describe if I tried. To say the least, I wouldn’t have expected them to leave me to tend to a demon when my mate needed me by her side. It would have given her the strength that she needed to fight if something was hurting her. But no, they decided to keep something like this from me, and that wasn’t something that I was going to be able to ignore or let go of.“The last thing that we wanted to do was distract you while you were speaking to a demon. I
Elena:“Mama?” I called, walking around my old house. The smell of food filled my nostrils. It was my mom’s famous casserole, and I couldn’t help but smile as I entered the kitchen to see her cutting onions. “Hi, baby.” She said, and I smiled as I walked toward her. I stood on the stool that was beside the counter and she leaned in to kiss the crown of my head. I looked down at the ingredients and couldn’t help but bite my bottom lip as I realized that she was making my favorite rice.“Can I please have a cookie, mama?” I asked, knowing that I wasn’t allowed to have dessert before dinner. Dad was coming back from work at any moment now, but I was still very hungry.“You and I both know the rules, princess.” Mom said, and I giggled.“But, mama, I am hungry. And I will still eat my food. You are making my most favorite thing in the world.” I said and she laughed. Little did I know that I was never going to eat that casserole to begin with.“And what would I do to you if you don’t eat
Alvize:“How the fucking hell did he manage to get out?” I asked, watching the cameras with Ezra. The security men were out of it or most probably dead. Despite us hearing their heartbeats, their eyes were wide open, and their bodies seemed to be completely frozen.“The metal should have kept him blocked inside.” Ezra said, shaking his head, “and even if he did get out, how did he not burn? The fucked bastard should have burned the second he tried moving.”“Killian,” I said, recalling my mate’s words. Ezra frowned in confusion and I nodded at him to follow me to my mate’s infirmary room. The man couldn’t have been the reason behind what happened to her. Her suffering and pain, the fucked up bastard wouldn’t have stooped as low as to harm her while being treated.Who was I fucking kidding? The man would do more than that knowing that she wouldn’t be able to fight him back.“What the fuck are you talking about?” He asked and I sighed as we entered the room.“The fucked up bastard was t
Elena:I frowned as I saw my mate walking out of the room.“He’s just angry that…”“Not everyone has to agree with him about such a point of you,” I said, stopping Ezra who nodded in understanding. “I know that he would have been more thankful if he knew what it was like to lose everything and everyone in one night.”“Why did they kick you out of the pack? Judging by what I understood, you were just a kid.” He stated and I sighed. It wasn’t something that I liked talking about nor was it something that I wanted to explain, but he was right, I was a kid.“I’m an Alpha born, the only heir of the Alpha, and it seems that I opposed a threat. Whatever it was, they wanted to get rid of it, meaning me.” I said, looking down at my lap. My heart ached as the words left my mouth and Ezra nodded in understanding. “Anyway, they just wanted to find something or more specifically, someone to throw blame on, and they threw a majority of it on me. And as a kid, I didn’t have anything to say about it.
Alvize:I woke up to Elena running her finger through my hair, her touch gentle, making my heart swell as I opened my eyes. The fact that the two of us were well aware that Ianos was here was something that neither one of us was going to deny. But the idea of him watching us seemed a lot more appealing now that we knew that he couldn’t do anything about it for a while.To say the least, I might as well give him a show while it lasted, and I was going to be sure that he and the Lycan paid for what my mate went through. However, for now, I was going to focus on her and her alone. I smiled as I looked up at her, and recalling her words, I couldn’t help but purr at the contentment that I felt.The woman, my woman, was more than willing to accept me the way that I was, broken, in pain, shattered, and angry. But she didn’t seem to care. She saw the good in me and embraced it, and to know that I had someone, just one person in my life that saw that in me was something that I was more than
