CARLISLE

We let the doctor work in silence. Actually, I didn't have anything to say and before long, there was a lot of blood on the floor.

“I'm sorry about all that.”

He nodded. I'm guessing his rug that was soaking with blood was the least of his worries right now.

When the doctor was done, he left us alone.

“I’m guessing your doctor has seen a lot and knows a lot.”

He grunted and moved away from the window.

“Lucas basically knows where all my bodies are buried. Literally. He's been amy friend for over three decades. He basically raised Emily and he loved her like his own. I don't know what to say to him. How will I tell him now?”

I stood in silence because I didn't even know what to say to him. He looked like he was in silent pain and he just wanted to implode.

“I understand she is your only child. I can't imagine what you just be feeling. Please, accept my deepest condolences and I can assure which that we will catch the people who did this. We're going to be working round t

    ELINNAI didn't want to believe what they had said so I ran in and decided to go see for myself. There is no way that Lawrence could be dying. He had been shot and injured a lot of times in the past so why was it now that he was with me that something like this was happening? I walked into the room and saw Lane on the bed side with his head in his hands. Lawrence and I still had a lot to accomplish so I didn't want to believe that this was the end. Things couldn't end this way..“My Queen, you're back. I'm guessing that they have already told you. He hasn't woken up since I've been here. The doctor says it's going to take a while for him to wake up from surgery, then we can speak to him and then…”He didn't have to complete the sentence. I already knew what was going to happen after that. I moved closer to Lawrence. That soft flawless face that I once knew was now swollen and covered with so many machines that I couldn't even exactly see his face. What was going to happen to Lawre

    CARLISLEAs we sat in the car, silence enveloped us. Neither Gomez nor I said a word. He woke up a few minutes after everything had happened and I was happy that he was fine.Relieved even. Because now, I had to tell.him that the doctors don't think that his best friend will survive. Yeah, that's the kind of news he wants to have immediately after waking up from a demon possession and a near suicide encounter. “Why’re you silent? What is the matter?” I glanced at him. “What do you mean? Nothing is the matter. I'm just thinking about the whole thing. You know, I'm happy that you're here and things didn't spiral out of control.” Thankfully, there was no need for the legion of men that I had sent to the building. “You forget that I was your best friend before I became your brother. That means I know you like the back of my hand. And I know when something is strong is wrong. So I'll ask you again, what is wrong? What is it that you're hiding from me? Elinna is not in the car, if tha

    ELINNA“I’m sure you're joking. You want my baby in exchange for my life and my peace?” He nodded. “Not just your peace but that of your family too. I know your husband has more enemies than wealth so I can make all that go away. You'll live the sick life of a Queen that you want. And your son will never have to worry about fighting a war in his life because the Hosts of Hell will be behind him. That is only if you give me the child you're carrying.” The fact that considering that I was even considering the offer made me wonder how tired I must have been of living this life. Every damn day, it was from one battle to another. There was always a storm but no calm before it. When would I end? I was about to give birth to another life. Was this the kind of family I wanted to bring him or her into? A life where he/she has to understand that a gun will be on their hand for the rest of their life? Because why didn't I feel offended that Carlisle gave Chase a gun for his birthday? Becaus

    ELINNAGetting to the building, I cast my eyes to the roof, fifteen stories up and there he was, shaking like a tree that had almost been uprooted from its roots. I could smell the evil in the air, death was close by, waiting for him to plunge himself down the building and into a pool of his one blood. Not on my watch. I had no plan of my own because I didn't know how to deal with Olera. But I had Ice. “Ice? What's the plan?”The building was shut down already. I didn't even want to ask how Gomez had gotten up to the roof. The issue now was how I was going to get up to the roof..I didn't know what to do. “You’re going to have to shift.” I forgot that she was inside me so I turned around to look at her but I ended up giving Alex a look and the latter was so confused. “How on earth am I supposed to do that when I have never shifted before and even if I have, what will happen to my clothes when I want to change back? Am I supposed to go home naked?” She sighed. “I’ll take care

    CARLISLEI ran out of the room, trying to make sure the nurse wasn't alarmed but by the time I ran after her, she was already gone. The only people I met Lane there and he looked very confused. “Where is she? Did she tell you where she was going?”“No, she didn't. She just said we should look for Gomez and to make sure that nothing happens to him. I don't know what's going on.” Elinna wouldn't be this worried if there wasn't something wrong. Why did I find her on the floor like that? And what were those things that she was whispering? “Lane, when she came out, did she act like there was something wrong with her hand?” He thought about it for a moment. “No, she didn't. Was there something wrong with her hand?” Maybe not with her hand but sit her. “I need to find her. I don't know what's going on but I need to find her.”I could see the way his face dropped when I said that. I looked around and realized that he was going to be the only person here. That wasn't right. He was by G

    ELINNAI don't know how many hours we had all been there but I knew it was night fall.The doctors still hadn't come out yet and no one dared talk. No one dared sit. I was standing in front of Carlisle who was massaging my shoulder after I told him that I didn't feel so good.“You should take a seat. Or maybe even a shower. You have blood all over you. Maybe you'll feel better.”I didn't dispute that fact. The smell of blood may be what was irritating me. Gomez needs to take a shower too. He looks like the one that was shot..He helped me call the house and tell the maids to bring food and clothes for everyone since no one wanted to leave.As long as this surgery was taking, I would like to hope that he would survive. I don't know what I would do without Lawrence. He had become a part of my family, of my daily routine, of my every decision making and a part of me.He's my partner in crim
