Lazarus povHoly shit.I knew our kitten had some demons to escape, but now that she trusts us enough to come clean and reveal the cards, I'm beyond speechless. All this time, she's been running away from the only parental figure in her life because the perverted, sick fuck decided she would be the perfect breeder for him. I mean, I get it if someone is desperate to become a parent and loves children, but this goes beyond and above everything desperate people would go after. I get up from my seat, and Luka follows seconds later. Lenox stays, staring at his feet, lost somewhere deep in his thoughts. Luka and I approach Sarah like a cornered wild animal. She's scared, broken, and for fuck's sake, terrified of rejection. I could see it in her eyes while she still looked at us. Every word left her lips with so much pain and fear; I know she thinks we might want to get rid of her. Honestly, that's the last thing I would do, and I'm absolutely sure my brothers feel the same. Her confess
Lenox pov"We're going on a trip to kill a stupid bitch," I sing at the top of my lungs as I skip towards the big barn behind Lazarus' packhouse. Everyone in my way avoids me, but honestly, it's for the best. I'm in a mood to have one fucking enthusiastic walk through that forest, perhaps even close to cat papí territory. Who knows?The only thing I know for a fact is that my mood brightened. Hearing what the little kitty cat said set my rage to a new level, but I'm not mad; I've been waiting for a good reason to go on a rampage. I know she needs it, Atlas needs it, and so do I. Once I reach the barn, I groan as I notice the lame key at the door. Did Laz think this thing could possibly hold me locked out of the beautiful toys he's hiding there? Pft, naive as fuck. I kick the door and curse when my foot collides with it a little too vigorously, creating a hole in the wood. I stare at my leg, stuck in the hole and grin, "To stay here and act like a wounded animal or destroy the door
Luka pov"We won't follow him?" I ask, sounding a little over the edge. Lenox is unpredictable, but my brother knows how to take care of himself. For the most part, at least. Yet, whenever he's like this- grinning with that mischievous spark dancing in his eyes, I know he's up to no good. Over the years, I've seen a thing or two, and one thing I had to learn about my brother is that he knows no mercy whenever he's out on those walks. Sometimes I feel like he's the impersonation of bloodlust and chaos. If I didn't know better, I would swear my brother is a creature who came from the pits of hell. I glance at Lazarus, hopeful he will give me a sign of what would be the best thing to do next. I am an Alpha, the same as them, but I don't have all the answers. Besides, Lenox and Laz are closer, they know each other on a different level, and until I get there, I will follow my brothers' judgement. "No," Lazarus chuckles and shakes his head. To me, it seems he knows something I don't, b
Luciano povAs I follow the mysterious demon, I wonder if I'm fucking crazy. He's someone who has said a couple of things, alright, some of them aren't exactly public knowledge, but still, how can I trust the guy?I follow Than as he moves closer to what I could call a forest line, but he takes only two steps and stops. There's nothing before us I could call the gardens of evil or anything but a fucking field. Yep, it's official; this guy is delusional. "Close your eyes and take my hand; I lead you from here," Than says and offers me his hand. I tilt my head, thinking if he really believes I'm that stupid. To take a hand of a demon feels like signing some sick, twisted contract, and this isn't one of the things on my to-do list. "No hidden motives. Mortals and shifters can't enter if they see. I told you: you see when you don't want to notice." Man, this demon guy and his stupid riddles. I sigh in defeat once the thought of Lenox crosses my mind. I'm doing this for my son; I'm do
Lenox povI pull the massive door open and a joyful giggle, and actual fucking giggle, leaves me once I face the masses of warriors before me. I raise my axe and lick my lips, "Sexy. Who's first?"Sure, I shouldn't expect anything else, so it really doesn't surprise me when all of the men move closer to me. On the other hand, what happened to one oo one and all that shit?Miss As laughs in excitement when I make the first swing and thrust the axe into someone's chest. I pull the weapon out and grin at the blood gushing out of him. This is it; this is what I love and breathe for- the baths of blood, cries of pain and horror. One by one, I take the cat's warriors out, slashing, slicing and ramming my axe into their weak, pathetic bodies. It feels like my smile will slice my face as with each drop of blood that lands on my skin and clothes, it grows wider. Atlas howls in happiness while As keeps laughing and begging me to give her more. The lady doesn't know when to stop; one of these
Lazarus pov Did I just say that? I mean, what the fuck is happening to me and who the hell thought it was a good idea to ask her to marry me- my nonexistent brain cells, my hopeless heart or dick? Whichever it was, I'm fucking screwed. At least if I base anything on the look on Sarah's face. But it's not like I could stop the words from escaping my lips or anything. The view of her holding Alister, caring for him and being more of a mother to my boy than his biological mother got to me. I'm pretty sure there's no need to add how fond my boy has grown to Sarah, so there's that too. I knew I didn't want to lose her, but this encounter became the sole reason and proof why I can't let go of her, why I'm so scared to let her slip through my fingers. I know my brothers have feelings for her too, and each of them has their own reasons for why or when they caught the feelings, but this is like the highest peak for me. I clear my throat while everyone, including my boy and the kitchen
NOTE: The following 3 chapters are demands from readers, so if you're not interested, you can skip them. However, as always, I added some interesting details in them. Enjoy xAtlas pov My human, that man, he's mental. Don't get me wrong, I knew there was something off about him for a while, but the last drop at my nerves was that spoon. No pun intended. Lenox, he's, well, yeah, he's Lenox. Since Miss As joined us, it's been quite a tight fit in his body, but I'm more than happy to share the space since she's providing an alibi for my human. Lenox has always been aggressive and vicious, but since she's with us, no one questions why he does the things he does. As much as I enjoy the lengths, he will go to feed me and Miss As, sometimes I wonder if that's what Lenox really wants. I'm a creature of hell, I need that thrill of evil, and As is close by, but she seeks something different. Without Lenox, we couldn't live, but I wonder what is the price he's willing to pay for us. All hi
Sarah povI love Alister. He's so cute and affectionate that I can't find it in myself to say no to him. No matter what this child might ask from me, I know I will go above and beyond to give him everything he wants. At this point, all he has to do is look at me the way he does now, and I would kill for this child. *Me too, me too* Talia jumps in, excitedly running around my mind. A slight smile spreads across my lips as her voice echoes in my mind. We had to live separately for so many years, and our life hasn't been quite the fairytale I imagined once we would reunite, but despite that, she still loves me, and I love her. I adore Talia for being so in sync with me and loving Alister just as much as I do. Alister claws my top with such strength that his knuckles turn white. Deep down, I feel such sadness for him, I wish I could change how his life has been so far, but some things are how they are. No child should feel unwanted, especially because their mothers don't want them. No
