Lazarus pov"I swear on whatever you hold dear; if you don't let me pass, I'll destroy everything I just swore on. Have you seen a man without purpose? Without a fucking soul? Have you? Because right now, you're standing between the sole reason for my existence, and unless you grow some damn brain cells, I'll let the hell break loose!" Lenox forces the words through gritted teeth as the nurse pales before him. All I can do is stand aside and watch in pure shock how my brother rages. As a matter of fact, Luka does the same thing. He stands next to me and gapes at Lenox. This has to be the rare time he's not joking around. If anything, he's so convincing that even I wouldn't dare to stand as firm as that woman does now. My eyes catch a slight movement and instantly follow it. Lenox reaches behind his back, and I prepare myself to jump in between if he's really planning to bring carnage upon the medical staff. His hand wraps around something hidden behind his back and stays there. "D
Sarah povThe pain isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but this is just the beginning. Thank whatever blessed me with Seth because my mother-in-law sits next to me and holds onto my hand as if her life depended on it. As positive as I was about letting the triplets stay with me during the labour, my decision changed as soon as Lenox started dropping his remarks about me being split in half in order for our child to be born. And what's even worse is that both Lazarus and Luka stood aside, giggling like girls at every word that left their brothers' smart mouth. Perhaps the comments weren't the only thing that held me back from letting them stay in the room. The other thing is that I don't want them to see me in so much pain. All three of my men are extremely overprotective, so I can't let them end up in a situation where they're helpless. "You're doing so great, sweetheart. I'm proud of you. It won't be long until you meet your baby, and trust me, once you do, you'll und
Lenox povIs it normal to be this stressed? To feel this out of place and desperate that I’m ready to fall to my knees to get inside that room if nothing else works?I tried to bargain, bribe and threaten, but none of those approaches worked. What am I supposed to do now? I’ve never faced a situation that didn’t have an exit, especially when I used the three things that have always granted just that for me.“I fucking hate this!” I groan in annoyance right when demon dad steps aside. I get it, he’s trying to be supportive and ensure I don’t make the same mistakes, but sometimes he’s too much. Since he has joined the fatherhood rows thanks to our mom, the bastard thinks he has the right to play the daddy role as much as the rest of our fathers. I mean, he does, but doesn’t at the same time? Is this me talking, my annoyance, or is this the spoon mindset that keeps driving me closer to slitting throats? Oh, how I wish I could thrust the goddamn spoon into someone’s neck and watch life
Than povThe woman under my arm is nothing short of a Goddess. Seth knows how to carry herself and make everyone in her way bow, even if they have no idea how high she stands. She’s a woman in power. A woman who knows what she wants and how she wants it. Those are just a few of her features that drew me in. The few things that made me fall for her without noticing how addictive her presence became in a blink of an eye. What is more surprising is that her husbands, the four men that have stood by her side for decades, found no issue with me joining their rows. If anything, Luciano has been over the moon to have his best friend, or at least that’s what he calls me, live under his roof. Dominic, Ryder and Vlad are like school buddies who find no issue with any competition. Honestly, I believe that all men are so confident in their roles in her life that there’s no need to feel jealous or act out. Seth won’t drop them just because someone else came into her life. Besides, we didn’t
Luka povEven though Lazarus and I know mom wants to spend quality time with us, we’re equally weirded out about her closeness to the demon. Lately, she’s been absent from our lives, focusing on the little ones and her five husbands. That’s right, somehow, they managed to marry Than into our family. Don’t get me wrong, I like the guy, he’s good for mom, but it is a little weird to know so many men surround our mother and that all of them are sexually attracted to the woman who gave birth to us. Perhaps it’s not as weird if we think about our own situation, but then again, it’s different because that’s our... well, our mom. As soon as we step out of the building, I suck in so much air it nearly makes me dizzy. Call me a drama queen, but I needed a moment away from the madness. Lazarus just stands at my side, his eyes closed, and hands hidden in the pockets of his jeans. While my brother is stuck in his thoughts, my eyes scan the surroundings. Something’s off. My skin itches, and
Luka pov“No shit, Sherlock, a woman!” She sneers at me. All things aside, I freaking love the attitude! And I’m sure my brothers would love it too if we weren’t committed to Sarah. Arrogant women are so fun to get back in line. Though her attempts to resist me start to annoy me a little more than I’d like to admit, a smile spreads across my lips as I tighten my hold around her throat. “You know, once you’re caught, and your life lies at someone’s mercy, being a smartass isn’t the best approach to the situation.” I can’t recognise my own voice. It’s official, my younger brother is rubbing on me, and since the process has already begun, I can’t stop it. Maybe I expect more of the violent resistance and anger, but to my surprise, the woman I captured just rolls her eyes and stops struggling. She raises an eyebrow at me as if she’s expecting me to do something, but I’m not quite sure what it is. “Will you release me, or are you dead set on being an annoying asshole?” She grits her t
Sarah povThe doctors told me I shouldn’t do anything to tire myself since the labour was harsh on my body. It’ll take time for me to regain full strength and ability to do things without anyone’s help, but our beautiful girl is totally worth every moment of pain I must endure. Since the nurse took our baby to run some tests, with nothing better to do, I’ve been laying in the bed and staring at the ceiling. A hushed commotion at my room’s door catches my attention. I’m not big about listening in on someone else’s business, but I would be lying if I said that this distraction wasn’t needed. From what I can tell, there are a couple of voices, all men, but none sound like the triplets. Oddly, they sound like Seth’s husbands. I hold my breath as if that will make my hearing better, and I’ll be able to tell the whispered words apart. Needless to say, that doesn’t work. They’re talking so fast; everything mixes in a blur of voices. Turning on my side, I try to ignore the discussion tha
Luka povPanic surges through me as my eyes search our surroundings. The hopeless, always positive fool in me seeks anything that might distract Lenox, or his beast, from gutting this woman before my eyes. I know there’s no more skillful killer than my brother, and I don’t need a demonstration to agree with this statement. Lenox is the type of guy who guts someone with a look of wonder in his eyes, getting giddily and excited every time he finds another blob of blood. Atlas, yeah, he’s a case far worse than Lenox. “Atlas, listen to me, please listen to the voice of reason and don’t do this. She knows something, there must be a reason why she watched Laz and me, and why she tried to attack me. How about we get the information, and then, you get a green light for gutting her?” I offer the only reasonable outcome I see for this situation. It’s clear something’s going on behind our backs, so I fear this woman might be the only firewall between us and the secrets. Our past has proven
