KLAUS' POV
"You are not to harm her. This is a warning and you will do right and heed it."
A warning coming from the former Beta? I don't think you have any power over me anymore. "
My nostrils flared as I grabbed his shirt. "You need to pick your next words carefully." I began slowly. "You are no match for me, and I will kill you if you disrespect me again."
Soon I'm going to be Beta. None of the others are qualified enough if you ask me, so don't think you can scare me anymore. I'll soon be above you. It's only a matter of time.
I ducked underneath a branch blocking the path as I maintained a reasonable amount of distance behind Brandon. Is that all you care about right now? Claiming my position? " I laughed bitterly. You've always been cynical and resentful ever since you were a child. You can't stand to see my brother wanting to be happy with a woman he loves. You can't understand me for bei
KLAUS' POV Dominic and the other had passed through the doorway of the concrete stairway. The limo should be pulling up in front of the hotel any time soon. "I don't trust you, Klaus. You're still going to kill me." I could have ripped out your heart back there and said they killed you once they noticed our presence." She remained silent after that as I hurried down the stairs. The moment my feet touch the first floor, I heard the sound of the car outside. "Do you have any idea who that is?" Lisa asked. I ignored her and concentrated on reaching the front door. I push the door open and rushed towards the limo with the door open. I threw Lisa inside and lands on Derek. I make my way inside as soon as I shut the door, Jonas takes off. Kayden pulled her against himself and held her in place. Lisa didn't move. She just remained still, surrounded by his arms. Dominic tapped me on my shoulder a
Lisa's POV "The mark on her neck is a coincidence. She got it from a tattoo artist down in Baltimore, and she has not expired yet. She has no mate at the moment, but she still has a couple of years before judgment will be passed on her. It was merely a misunderstanding, which wouldn't happen again. Her current age is in our database and you can all look it up yourself to clear your doubts. I want everything I do or say here to
Lisa's POVI hear his footsteps approaching me. They stopped in front of me. My knees were only a few inches away from his shin. "We always have to look out for each other." He whispered."So you're saying I shouldn't make eye contact with anyone in the house?" I looked up at his face.He picked up my hand and began to massage my knuckles, his skin skimming above and beneath my knuckles. You aren't familiar with who they are, unlike me. I know who's who, and when I come into contact with one of the demigods, I don't look directly into their eyes. But for you, don't look into anyone's eyes. Don't think about it, don't attempt it. They would simply take your refusal to look into their eyes as a s
Lisa's POVMoments after taking my bath, I hear a knock on my door. I tugged a shirt over my heart and my arms into the sleeves as I walked to the door. I wondered who that might be. I wasn't in the mood to entertain visitors at this moment.I heard another knock again. "Who is it?""It's Jonas. Open up."I opened the door to see Jonas standing outside trying to balance the two large plates of breakfast in his hands. How did he manage to knock if his hands had been busy?
I know I'm not a good person by any stretch of the imagination. I'm dangerous. I lie and I kill. But I wasn't a bad person either. Everything I do, I do because I want to protect my family by all means. That duty has been mine since birth, as I am the son of the former Prime Alpha and Beta, as well as the current Prime Alpha's brother. It was never wrong to want to preserve your family's legacy by eliminating anything or anyone that posed a threat to them.I brush my hand over Tiffany's soft skin, my hand moving from her face to her hair, then down to her waist and back up. Her head was propped up on my chest and her hands were wrapped around me. It provided me with the reassurance that I was protecting her from any harm that might come her way. The next couple of days were going to be decisive, and she would be my top priority. She snuggled deeper into my embrace, smiling with her eyes clos
Kayden's POVI raise my hand to knock on Lisa's door. After giving it a lot of thought, I realized that I needed Klaus and Jonas back in my order-at least for now. We haven't yet performed the final rite and presented ourselves before the nation as a whole, and it would raise a lot of questions if we were to be missing two important positi
Kayden's POVI hated senate meetings, but I had no choice. I'll continue to participate in them until my son becomes the Prime Alpha. Since I refused to take a plane back home, I have missed a lot. Blake and Jeremy filled us in on what had happened and the current situation with the rebels before we started to talk about the economy. As usual, Elijah led us through it. He was a financial guru and we looked up to him for advice on these kinds of matters. Currently, Vince and Raymond were talking to us about their budgeting proposal, which was all about explaining how their plans for making changes to the tax structure in the country would work according to their budget. Vince pointed at one of the largest holographic numbers floating behind him. As we can all see, this percentage of tax decrease would then transfer to the people who have a lot of financial sta
Lisa's POVIt's been three days now and I've not experienced anything out of the ordinary. It seemed like everyone had forgotten about my existence, and I was fine with that. Unfortunately, I have Ben feeling bad about not giving my deal with Kayden a fair chance. It was only fair that I try to integrate during the one week we agreed upon, or at the very least give it a shot and see how it went. I pulled up the sleeves of my cashmere sweater and tied my hair in a ponytail, a few strands escaping from my clutch. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I was looking refreshed after being holed up in my room for days.I let out a deep breath and, squaring my shoulders, I moved towards the door, opened it, and made my way along the familiar path leading
