MasukAaliyah’s POV Six years later I never understood how powerful peace was until The Clarks and Ameliia Winthrop were convicted and put behind bars . I can now say Life is peaceful , not the kind of peace that comes and goes like a Yoyo but the permanent kind. The kind you feel from knowing No one and nothing can hurt you anymore . I am seated on my Favourite rocking chair on our porch . Watching as the sun descends in Shark fin , the sight so beautiful it almost moves me to tears. I stretch my swollen legs on the leg rest and rest my hand on my growing tummy as I feel a sharp kick . Laughing I rub the spot slowly “ Take it easy in there are you playing golf” I whisper gently to my babies. Yes I am pregnant with not one but two Babies One for Desmond One for Shawn Our life has finally come full circle and thank the goddess for the advance’s in science we were able to inseminate both eggs .Soon the babies will be here and I will be a mother again but at least this time I won’
I am jolted awake by the harrowing wind the trees thrashing on my window . Iook out the windiw the dky a very dsrk cloudy gray but I can’t let it dull my mood . Shivering I lay in bed for a moment staring at the ceiling and taking deep breaths, practicing my relaxation exercises until I feel my anxiety lesson . -Today is Election day -Today is Reckoning day I can’t believe all the trails and tribulations have led to this exact precise moment and you know what’s even better ?They do not know what is coming. I slip out of bed and have a shower ,picking out the beige suit and cashmere sweater with matching Prada heels I had put together for today . History is about to be made and I will be damned if I get caught in an ugly attire everything will be perfect . Breakfast is a hurried affair as I am too damn nervous to eat .The men keep exchanging anxious glances and I wonder what exactly is going through their minds deciding to break the ice I ask “Have you spoken to Thomas and
We reach Shark fin gates just as the sun starts to set . My pulse has finally settled into its regular pattern , but my stomach still feels tight . Nerves I guess , its not over till its over . As usual the security wave us in as we head for the safe house to get Karly and her family settled in first before heading home for Dinner . Just before we take the last sharp turn on our left , Gabe takes a right turn instead and we park on a different street filled with cute Small apartments and children playing on the freshly mowed grass out front .Gabe expertly drives the car into the next empty curb . I look outside towards the kids playing as the other car parks and Karly ,her husband step out carrying their kids . Dawson following closely behind with their luggage. I turn to Brandon eyebrows raised “ I don’t know what we are doing here because last I checked this is not the safe house .Are we here to see someone ?” Brandon and Desmond exchange smiles while Shawn laughs “Aaliyah b
I come face to face with Brandon! Relief hits me so hard that my knees let me fold over “You scared the living daylights out of me Brandon” I huff folding my hands on my chest he walks towards me in quick strides hugging me tightly against his broad chest.“I apologize my Queen that wasn't my intention, I wanted to make sure you were okay” he kisses me on the forehead smoothing down my hair as I hear Gabes voice filtering into the room the rest of the men walk in. -Desmond -Shawn -And Gabe file into the living room quicky shoulders still taut with tension after the slight tussle he had with the attackers on the front lawn.“The Perimeter is all clear Alpha but Dawson and Andrew have gone to bring the cars to the curb”Gabe says firmly Brandon nods “Good Let’s not waste any more time in case they decide to send in more troops” I gasp his words landing like a sucker punch could they be that evil?Probably “Brandon Can-” Just as I am about to ask him if they can do that . I pause
We move in stealth mode, quick without making any unnecessary sound. The soles of our running shoes barely making a sound on the hot asphalt. Brandon makes a signal with his two fingers and Gabe nods slipping into the front and disappearing round the sharp turn and heading for the front lawn with Dwason and Andrew. I am sandwiched between Desmond and Shawn taking deep calming breaths trying to keep my pulse in check. As we approach their wooden back fence we find it wide open the kids toys coming into view on the grassy back lown My stomach tightens ,The backdoor should not be open like this. I slow down whispering under my breath “Have they breached their yard already?” Brandon lifts his hand and we all pause in unison. We hear a sharp grunt sound pierce the air and another with a sound of a hard body landing on the ground .I take a deep shuddering breath. My heart is thudding loudly in my chest. “Was that the shadow being attacked?” Brandon turns to me eyes alert and calm “Aal
The security at Shark fin gates seem to pick up on the urgency of our movements as for the first time they wave us out without doing a security check. Puzzled by this behaviour I turn to Brandan who is seated opposite me “Brandon how come they didn't do the usual security sweep?” He locks his eyes on me as he smirks “I might have had Dawson call them and tell them, We have an emergency no delays”Shawn whistles in admiration “That is really impressive Alpha I have to admit”Desmond shifts in his seat giving Brandon a sharp nod “Smart move Alpha “ Brandon smiles “thanks time is off the essence we already have a long journey ahead of us” he looks at his watch then at each one of us. “All of you wear your seatbelts, He adds we will be using the gear 5 super speed to arrive faster”Shawn gives out a small chuckle “ That is the way ahah ah ah” Desmond chuckles singing along “We like it aha aha” Brandon's mouth tugs into a small smile as I burst out laughing not able to contain it.
