Nikolas's POV"Please tell me you weren't just about to shoot him," Alex said, his bewildered eyes drifted between me and Roman."Shoot who?" Emma's voice had me turn my head to see her walking through the door, her eyes suspiciously drifting between the three of us."Alex, you don't get it," I tried to explain and his eyebrow raised, "Get what for god's sake, you were pointing a gun to Roman's back just a second ago, weren't you?""Wait, what?" Roman asked, his eyes growing wide, "I mean I know we never liked each other, but I thought we were on the same team."Emma's eyes grew wider and she took a threatening step forward, "You did what?" She questioned, "Nikolas, please tell me you weren't about to kill my husband."My jaw tightened, "Well, I stopped myself, didn't I?""Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" Emma grated out. Seconds only and she was in my face, I wasn't expecting her attack as she pushed me away, making the gun drop out of my grip, "It's Isaac, isn't it?" She shot out a

Natalie's POVI don't understand him.I really don't.I don't think I will ever be able to.It's reason number one why I am pulled toward him like this. He intrigues me. He keeps surprising me. Keeps me on my toes...keeps me guessing. He pulls me in one second and pushes me away the next.He is a very dangerous territory, a one I am willingly stepping into without any guard.He opened the car's door for me and I whispered a low thank you as I got inside. He joined me seconds later and roared the engine to life. Pure joy danced in my stomach and my fingers wrapped over the seatbelt, fixing it and that's when I noticed the one lone red rose laying between our seats. My eyebrows pulled closer and I lifted my eyes to him, my gaze questioning.He sighed, "Alex said I should bring you flowers or something," He mumbled.I stared back at his amused, "You're taking dating advice from Alex?"He shrugged, "Well, he seems to know his way around."I resisted the urge to smile as he carried on, "An

Nikolas's POVShock swirled in the blue of his eyes, confusion at my realization and a lick of fear flashed across his face as he backed away from the table, letting the picture go. His whole being vibrated with negative energy as he faced me, his hand slowly going to the back of his pants, ready for an attack, "How did you know?" He questioned."It wasn't that hard," I said. Truth be told, if it wasn't for Natalie and the whole search for who the brother is, I would've not figured it out as easily. He was able to erase his whole existence, which now makes more sense, it's what the Hex does.He shook his head in bewilderment; something seemed to snap all the logic from his mind as he reached for his gun and aimed it forward, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Why are you so keen on learning about my mother, what do you want?"I sighed, "Don't be stupid and put that gun down," I urged, taking a step forward, not once threatened by the weapon aimed at me.He shook his head again; me learn

Natalie's POVHe is here. Right here. Right in front of me.He came to see me first.He came to see me for god's sake!Oh dear lord, can it be that my biggest crush ever is crushing back on me? Does that ever happen?His eyes, that deep green I wanna lay in for so long stared back at me with so much tenderness, like he really missed me, like he is trying to take into every detail there is on my face before he would have to leave again.Oh, he is leaving again..."So, what brings you back here, not that I am complaining or anything," I asked, both curious and praying it's something that would keep him here for as long as possible.My question had the look in his eyes shift and he shook his head, "Just work," He answered, just as vague as usual.My eyebrow raised, "Work?" I gave him a knowing look, "I know your work," I mimicked loading a gun with my fingers and pointed it at him, squinting an eye as if I am shooting, referring to his...work.My childish behavior had his lips twitch, fi

Nikolas's POVThe sound of the bomb exploding was like a shock that rocked all through my body. The silence was gone and replaced with the aftermath of the attack. Everything happened in a blur. My feet acted on their own accord, and I was running toward the house.My heart raced wildly in my chest and the second I barged in, Roman was clearing everyone else's way out. My eyes took a quick scan, they drifted from Cara to Lilly, who was tightly held in her mother's arms and my heart sank down, "Where is Alex?" I asked Cara, my voice barely audible under the pressure the explosion left.She blinked in shock, the fact that I am here didn't seem like something she was aware of. Her gaze drifted behind her, for a mere second, checking, as her hand pressed over the back of Lilly's head, "He is getting...Max," She mumbled, the amount of fear in her eyes and voice pushed me inside after I ordered Roman to take them to a safer place.My feet slightly faltered to a stop as I tried to focus my v
