Sarah pov

His words, although muffled and broken, pierce my heart and turn my world upside down.

I hold my breath and wrap my arms around Lazarus as he breaks down completely. I wish I had the power to undo what has been done, to find the words to soothe him and promise that Alister will be okay.

But, as we stand here with Luka, completely frozen next to us, I can’t force even one word past my lips.

I don’t know how much time passes like that, but when the eerie silence, interrupted only by Lazarus’ broken sobs, starts suffocating me, I finally find my voice.

“Laz,” I mutter and bring my hands to his cheeks to make him look into my eyes. “Look at me and tell me what happened. Everything you know - tell me.”

He lets out another broken, choked sob and nods shakily. “I don’t know everything, all I know is that Alister’s state is somehow connected to Ophelia.”

“What? What do you mean?” I demand, my own voice starting to shake with fear and surprise.

“He tried to protect her. I don’

    Lenox povNow, wait a goddamn second. He didn’t just say what I think he did, right? There’s no fucking way this guy is claiming I’m spending more time down here than I feel that I am. Surely, this has to be some sick, twisted demonic joke that isn’t even funny. I raise my hand right as Ragh decides to open his filthy mouth. I’m sure there’s more I’m supposed to know, but I really don’t want to hear anything anymore. He already said too much at this point. “Dude,” I snap at him. “Roll back whatever wisdom you just shared, fold it up real nicely and be a good boy - shove it up your ass before I do it for you, yes?” Every word that leaves me is tense, but I force a smile as wide as that of Jocker’s as I speak. “You are awfully bold for a mortal,” Ragh scoffs. Okay, okay, if we’re aiming for stupid assumptions, I can do that too. Must be why I spit out the stupidest shit ever. “Yes, and you’re awfully large to be having some diaper kink because you’re about to wear one by the time I

    Fenton povUnfortunately, I got so damn distracted by that asshole David and his impending death that I didn’t notice the girl leave. Felix’s body is laying lifeless on the moss covered ground, his eyes still half lidded but void of life. David’s body, or what’s left of it, hangs from the tree nearby, his blood slowly soaking into the dirt at the roots of the tree. Slowly, I start pacing the area, trying to calm myself down, running hands through my hair and desperately attempting to come up with the next step I could take. Whatever happened here, it’s all wrong. So very wrong. The plan was simple - I get the girl, use her as bait and Lenox appears out of nowhere to save her like the psycho with the savior complex he is. Simple, right? Not at all since the plan failed even before I managed to try to use it. And now, I have two dead bodies near me and a woman on a run. I don’t even know if she’s the one I needed, damn it. On one hand, I had David, who claimed she definitely is the

    Lenox pov“You know, back home we have this thing we call Christmas. Do you have Christmas?” I ask Ragh to distract myself from the boredom of walking. “No,” he grumbles and glances at me. “What is that?” “Oh, it’s no biggie, only like the best damn day in the entire year, asshole!” I gasp. “You get loads of gifts, the best food and you spend time with your family near the fireplace while it’s freezing cold outside.” “So.. The best day of your year is freezing temperatures, gifts and food?” He asks. I nod eagerly, already grinning as I remember last Christmas and how I managed to trick Luka into running through the show in only his boxers. Ah, good old times. “You are a weird creature,” Ragh hums and I roll my eyes at his stupid statement. I’m not weird, mom says I’m special and that totally doesn’t mean I’m weird or anything. He is a dirty, filthy liar and my mom is right, not the demon pants.“What the fuck ever,” I say sharply and punch his shoulder in response. “You’re just

    Sarah povI don’t care if anyone could claim it is weird of me to feel this sort of relief that I do now. The fact alone that Than can be near me and tell me that Alister will be okay is already like a huge weight off my shoulders. As I glance between Than and Alister, I nod again, even though he doesn’t say a word to me. “Do we gather the family and have a quick meeting now? I’d much rather stay here in case Alister wakes up, but the doctors said he’ll sleep for at least a couple of more hours.” Than flashes me what I can describe only as a forced smile. “I understand, kid. I, too, think it’s best if the little one has a face he knows nearby when he wakes up, but I also think that meeting you brought up would be for the best. I’ll call them, yes?” “Thank you,” I say with a smile and watch him slip out of the hospital room. While he’s out, I rush to grab Alister’s hand and squeeze it, “mommy’s here, baby. I’ll step out for a few minutes, but I’ll be back right after, okay? I’m not

    Than povAs soon as my brain manages to process Seth’s words, my heart sinks. The fact that this wonderful woman, her mates, children and even grandchildren consider me as a valid, real part of their family is overwhelming as it is, but now, she’s handing me over so much trust and worry, I can’t turn my back on her and pretend I can’t help. I glance at Luka and Luciano, and now all amusement has disappeared from their features. Clearing my throat, I look back at Seth, nod as sharply as I can and grunt, “where is he?” A look of immense relief flashes Seth’s features the moment I ask the question. She doesn’t smile and I completely understand why. I, too, wouldn’t smile too soon. “Alister is in the pack hospital under observation. Lazarus says he woke up, couldn’t speak and freaked out, so the doctors had to sedate him. Sarah’s by his side, so he’s not alone.” Seth explains quickly. I nod as I listen and can’t help but ask, “and the rest of the husband’s? Where are they?”“We left

    Than povOne moment I’m raging through my realm, trying to find that little shit that’s really starting to cause some trouble and the next, I’m not anymore. I’m violently pulled out of my home, back into the mortal world. “You foolish mortal, how dare you interrupt my slumber and summon-” I start but cut myself off as soon as I turn around, then mutter a curse under my breath and clear my throat, plastering a charging smile on my lips. “Baby, it’s so good to see you.” To my defence, I tried.. and failed. Seth doesn’t look even slightest bit amused as she crosses her arms in front of those beautiful breasts I’d die to lick.. I mean, I would never, my mind isn’t in the gutter. Shit, I’m blushing now, great, fucking awesome. Clearing my throat again, but this time sounding like a nervous teenager, I bring my hand to the back of my head and scratch it. “Sooo? This means I’m in trouble, huh?”Seth raises her eyebrows and widens her eyes as if that’s how one is supposed to look when t
