Lenox povOne of my all time favourite activities has always been walking through the forest. I can’t explain why, but there’s something special about the feeling I get. You never know what might happen, whom you might meet or kill. Awesome scenarios over and over again, no matter where you look. “So what’s the real plan now? I get that we have a few things we’re supposed to do next and it’s truly surprising that you haven’t killed me yet, which don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for, but still - what is the next step you’re taking?” Oddly enough, I’m starting to warm up to this guy. A while ago, I would have killed him without a second thought, but now, he’s kind of cool. A little too curious to my liking, but not the worst company I’ve ever had. “Well, although I really want to find my brother first, I have a feeling that chopping the trees will be the best choice as our first step,” I tell him as my eyes scan the forest. “Alright… But why?” He asks. “Oh, that’s simple,” I laug
Lenox pov“No, not discussing that. Especially with someone, who’s about to kill me as soon as I’m of no use,” he huffs and looks away. I gasp. “First of all, you’re already of no use,” the words leave me as if I’m surprised, but in reality, I’m just messing around. “Second of all, I might change my mind. Don’t act like I’m some monster or shit. I’m actually pretty nice if you get to know me. Besides, my dad claims I’m the best.” “Which dad?” He mutters. “Well, two dads. Luciano and Than absolutely love me.” I announce with a proud grin on my lips. “Than? I don’t remember hearing anything about him.”I huff. Right, it’s not like my family is big about spilling our secrets or letting everyone talk shit about us. To be honest, I love that. Private life is called private for a reason. It’s only our business what happens behind closed doors, no need to put up a show for every outsider to see. “Eh, a demon who’s head over heels with my mom, no biggie. Anyway, he’s the new additional d
Luka povSomething about this guy seems to be off. Very off. Although Fenton has his story perfectly making sense, it feels rehearsed. It’s making too much sense even when he tries to avoid my questions. It almost feels like every time that happens, he’s taking his time to go through the mental notes to find the correct answer. I wonder if I could throw him off by asking something completely out of the blue? Maybe that could work… But how? What do I ask? A wide grin spreads across my lips as I come up with possibly the best idea I’ve ever had. All I have to do is be like Lenox. Spit out everything that’s on my mind, especially if it doesn’t make sense. “If I wear women’s underwear, it doesn’t make me gay, does it? I mean, it isn’t gay for as long as you’re wearing socks, right?” Well, mental facepalm. What the actual fuck, Luka? Fenton spins around and gapes at me like I’m completely out of it. I might be since I do sound like my brother right now. Not sure if I should feel prou
Lazarus povI watch how Sarah’s eyes roll back in her head in horror. Her body goes completely lump before I or Than have time to react and catch her. She collapses on the floor and Than instantly tries to scoop her up, but I move past him and shove him aside. “What the fuck is going on? What is going to happen to my wife if she’s the host? Why is that thing inside her to begin with?” I spill out questions without thinking. My mind is racing faster than ever before. I can’t imagine what we might be facing with this newfound thing. Seriously, I can’t even follow the events of our life anymore at this point. Everything is going to shit. At this point, all one of us has to do is breathe and something will go wrong. “We need to hook her up with some systems. Right now, she’s too weak and the leech is feeding on her energy. Once it’s completely gone, it’ll try to feed on life sources. Perhaps it’s better to try and keep her unconscious for a while until I figure out what type of leech
Felix povThe crazy bastard holds me close enough for anyone to mistake us for actual lovers. If I wouldn’t know better, I would assume he’s actually planning to kiss me. I should've known better. I shouldn’t have gotten involved in this madness. First and foremost, when I first heard his name and last name be involved in the conversation, I should have listened to my instincts and ran as far away as possible. But no. Of course, I didn’t do it, so now, I’m dealing with the consequences of my own stupidity. If only I could for once listen to the inner voice and follow its command, that would be amazing. “It’s not here for us,” Lenox whispers. I know I should feel freaking relieved at the words, but for some reason, I’m having the complete opposite reaction. Cold shivers run down my spine at those words and his grip on me tightens. Just because he claims that thing isn’t here for us, it seems that it doesn’t make it any less dangerous to be near to. “That’s the tracker, Lenox.” I
Lazarus pov“What do you mean by she’s not there? This better be a fucking joke. There’s no way my wife just vanished in thin air while we’re standing here, basically guarding this goddamn door!” I growl at the nurse. I have no business forcing my anger at frustration at everyone like this, but I’m at the end of my rope. All I have to do is spin on my heel and more shit falls over me. “Son,” Than speaks, placing a hand on my shoulder. “Calm down. It isn’t her fault, or anyone’s at that. We need to find Sarah first, only once she’s back in that room can we start tossing accusations and decide what to do next.” As much as I hate to admit this, he is right. Even when he mutters something that sounds like ‘better find her before your mother finds out that her precious daughter-in-law is missing or kiss out crown jewels goodbye.’I want to laugh, but I can’t. His attitude is remarkable and the fear our mother has installed in his mind is a thing of wonder. Not that I don’t fear mom. She
Atlas povI want to rip out her throat. I want to claw her eyes out so badly, it’s making me feel giddy. And on top of that, Lenox is growing really damn turned on by the view of Sarah, struggling to breathe. Isn’t it funny how we love her with all our being, yet for some reason, her pain excites us? Sick fucks, that’s what we are. Not that any of us cares. Maybe only As does, but since she doesn’t have a dick, I don’t think her opinion matters. To some we are monsters, some think of us as feral, some call us an animal. Well then, welcome to our freakshow.A sudden wave of pure euphoria runs through our entire being as Lenox adds more pressure to her throat. He won’t let me choke her since he fears the possibility of going too far, so this will do for now. As Lazarus appears next to us, he tries to place a hand on Lenox's shoulder. “Lenox,” he whispers the name as if he’s approaching a cornered animal. I don’t pay him much attention. The family drama doesn’t concern me, but I sur
Luka pov“I must say, you almost had me. Almost. If only your answers weren’t that perfect, if only you left some details out, or let’s say, forgot a couple of things - I might have believed you. The mystical hatred aside, tell me, did you really think you would succeed? Seriously? Think about this - you are going against Lenox Vincent. No, let’s make it even better - you are going against Lenox and Luciano Vincent. Yeah, that sounds even better.” As I speak, Fenton’s face turns as white as a paper sheet and the grin on my lips spreads wider. I have always hated using my family name against people, but now, it’s pretty pleasant. For a moment, there’s nothing but the distant forest sounds surrounding us. It looks like Fenton has completely lost himself, nearly brainded. Until, he shakes his head and gets back to his senses. He clears his throat. “Impossible. Luciano is dead.” Colour me surprised, who would have thought that my father has died? I raise an eyebrow at him and decide t
