DRAX'S POVIt's almost an hour already, and Billy hasn't called for his 30 minutes status update. I mused, as I wondered what had happened to him. We've only had two check-up calls, and when it was time for the third one that should have been thirty minutes later, I couldn't reach him.We all sat down in the lounge monitoring the mission. I checked his gps tracker, and noticed he was still at the hunters' camp where he was supposed to be. But the problem was he had stopped moving. The dot on the gps' screen remained in one spot. Now it's been an hour without hearing from him. I wondered what went wrong. What was he doing?I bit my fingers as I thought the worst, fearing that the mission had been compromised. What if he was caught while he was tampering with their equipment. They would immediately know that he was trying to sabotage their efforts in capturing me. What if he had been captured and interrogated? Would he rat us out and comprise the mission? What if they were already on the
BARTON'S POV "...poison his dinner tonight, and let us know when he's dead." Drax said to me over the phone as we spoke."Okay, Alpha." I replied eagerly and then I ended the call.I have been waiting for this day ever since my Alpha, Peter Freling died.Damian has been a thorn in my flesh from the moment he took over as Alpha. He was nothing like his brother.Peter was kind, humble, down to earth, selfless... only to mention a few. He was loved and admired by everyone, and his brother hated him for it.Unlike his brother, Damian was rather wicked and heartless, with no empathy or regard for people whatsoever. They were complete opposites. I have been eagerly waiting for the day when he would no longer be alpha.The citizens and everybody else have had enough of his reign of terror. Drax was supposed to take over as the leader of the pack once he became of age. But unfortunately, he could not be alpha due to his condition. And just as I had earlier suspected, Damian has a hand in it.
*20 MINUTES EARLIER* DRAX'S POV My heart raced as Rissa made her shocking revelation about her feelings for me.I was happy, but scared. I loved her, and I want to be with her. Whenever I am around her, my heart overflows with immense joy. I've had a crush on her right from the moment I met her in the forest.Her beauty is so captivating, it makes me double take whenever I look at her. Her perfect hourglass figure, her perky breasts, her azure blue eyes and dark brown hair that both complimented her fair skin, making her look like a literal goddess.My first thought was to continue my 'hard-to-get' act and not pursue my real intentions with her. To hide under the guise of being too focused on the mission to have any time at all for love.But no more! I can't continue deceiving myself. The truth, if I'm being honest is, I was just scared. Scared of being plagued with unrequited love. Scared of falling in love again and losing the person in the end, just like I lost Sonia.The truth is
DRAX'S POVThe nerve racking sound of helicopters and sirens clouded the air. The ground vibrated as many vehicles carrying heavy artillery roamed the surroundings outside in the streets. There was a clear indication of unrest. The smell of looming danger permeated the air all around... It was on. This was it.I had no idea what to do. Surrender or fight? Was it worth it?If we fight, there is a great possibility that we might not make it to the next hour, because I'm sure all the soldiers must have been given direct instructions to shoot on sight. All the odds were against us. We were clearly outmatched and outnumbered.I could hear the noise outside getting louder, as I perceived that more and more people were arriving the scene.I looked at the girls, and I could see terror in their eyes as they probably said their last prayers in their minds.I looked towards Billy, and I could still see the expression of guilt, fear, and regret plastered on his face. But I'm not buying that. I d
LILLY'S POVRage burned in my heart like the eruption of an enormous volcano.How could he do this to us? To me —How could he betray us like that? He sold us out for money. That means he never cared about me. He never loved me...Only now my eyes have been opened, and now I know that all he wanted was to get under my skirt and nothing more.He never had any feelings for me... He never loved me. If he did, he would never have jeopardized our mission. He would never have worked with the man who wanted to murder us.Even if he needed the money badly, he would have considered the fact that I was there, and rejected the money.Now I feel so stupid for allowed myself to be so dumb as not to see that this guy dangerous. I should have seen it coming. I should have known that he was a deadly snake with evil intensions in his heart. I should have pushed him away when he pulled me to his chest and stuck his tongue down my throat.But No! I was dumb and naive, I thought it was love. I stripped m
DRAX'S POVWell, I guess that answers my lifelong question of whether I'm cursed or not.Truth is... I'm definitely cursed.I simply can't catch a break. Just when I thought something good was finally about happening to me, and I was finally going to get the girl of my dreams, the universe had to prove me wrong and screw me over.Why did that call have to come in right when I was about kissing Rissa? Couldn't the bastard just have waited a few minutes more?"Hurry up, guys." Rissa said frantically as we made for the tunnels.I used a piece of strong metal to bend the door's locking wheel, so they would have a difficult time opening the door and getting to us from the outside.Then I closed the door tightly before I ran towards the others, leaving Billy in the room.As we began our escape, my mind was unsettled as I hoped that nobody knew about the other entrance to the hideout from the alleyway.I took out the radio and switched it on."One of the fugitives has been spotted near the to
RISSA'S POV "Fight?!" I exclaimed. Great! Just great! Initially, my brain had been flowing in a sea of oxcytocin, as I was so eager, and I honestly couldn’t wait for us to get out of there so Drax and I could have our moment. Unfortunately, Damian’s call came in, and we had to run for our dear lives. And although I wasn’t happy that our beautiful moment was unavoidably interrupted, my consolation was the fact that I finally got a positive response. Drax loved me back, and I couldn’t get over the warm feelings I was feeling all over. Of course I’m not happy that it had to take this long for him to acknowledge his feelings for me, I understood where he was coming from and the reasons why it wasn’t easy for him. Although I’m not the kind of person that would fall head over heels for a guy to the point of confessing my feelings to him, I’m very happy that I did. Finally I can calm down and relax, knowing that the man I love loves me back. Unfortunately, I didn’t know if we would
RISSA'S POV Immediately, I fell to the ground and Drax turned back to check on me. My tummy was bleeding. Drax lifted my shirt up to examine the wound. Thankfully, the bullet only nicked my side, missing my vital organs. But the problem was, I was bleeding severely. Drax applied pressure on the wound to prevent me from losing too much blood. But as we looked up behind us, the hunters were already close. Lily had run out of bullets, and they swarmed all around her to pin her down. She tried to resist, but she was no match for them. Soon, she was overpowered, in seconds they had her tied up, while the rest of them proceeded towards us. “Drax, you have to go. They’re coming for you.” I said, looking up at him with a grimace on my face, due to the intense pain I was feeling. “No, I can’t leave you here.” He said in a quavering voice, while caressing my face with one hand. “You have to go Drax. You can’t let them capture you. Leave me here; I’ll be fine I promise.” I said in fear. I d
