CARLISLE

As 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

    ELINNAIn the silent room, I held his hand tightly to my heart, hoping and praying that he would wake up. That was all I wanted right now.All hell was going to let loose eventually but right now, I would enjoy the calm that came before the storm because that was all that mattered right now.I felt a twitch so I raised my head immediately and I saw his eyes faltering open. With one quick move, I jumped out of my seat and pressed the nurse's call button. His hand was moving towards the tube in his mouth but I stopped him before he could touch it.“Don’t. Just let it be. The nurses are on their way to take it out. Just stay still.”Excitement filled my heart as I saw him looking at me and I gave him a very wide smile.“Welcome back, Lawrence.”I stepped aside as the doctor and the nurses came to attend to him, taking him off all the machines that he was hooked to. The d

    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

    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
