POV WillaLuckily the rest of the night passed calmly and without incident. Well... at least for West and I. The rest of the our 'family' went downstairs after dinner to deal with Ivan. I'm sure that wasn't calm but I was glad that we weren't involved.West and I went up to his room and lounged around, talking."So what do you think about this Blaise guy? Do you remember him?" I asked West and he shrugged."I just remember that he was way bigger than either one of us and he used to carry you around a lot. You wanted him to. I remember the three of us playing together and that you used to tell us that we were the only people that made you feel safe when you were scared." He replied.I paused and thought for a while. Try as I might, I just couldn't remember him. It was frustrating too. Since we had been back, West and I were remembering more and more about growing up with our 'family' so I didn't know why I was having such a problem remembering Blaise."So, he's a killer. Kind of the op
POV StoneI got up early this morning since Blaise was coming. After showering and dressing, I walked out in the hall and was surprised to find both the twins doors open and neither of them inside. I was about to panic when Jaden came out and smirked."They went to the gym. I heard them earlier." he informed me and I relaxed."Want to go with me to pick up Blaise?" I asked and he shrugged."Why not?" he agreed.Smith, Lance and Blade joined us as we walked out the door and piled into the waiting car. Blade looked at me nervously."This is going to be a disaster. Blaise and the twins in one house? They will kill each other." Blade warned.I looked over at him and sighed. He was still salty over Willa beating him in that fight. To be honest, we all were. It wasn't right. She was supposed to be our princess. Dad was extremely disappointed. I could only hope that she would soon learn her place in our world otherwise, I'm not sure what will happen. I only knew that this would be a fight th
POV BladeI looked at my father in disbelief. There was no way that he was okay with this plan. I looked over to Ash, Smith and Lance who all wore similar expressions. Dad and Stone looked pleased though and that was terrifying. They were monsters."You can't be serious?" Ash gasped."I'm not saying that she'll be in any real danger. We'll have it all planned out. She won't be seriously harmed." Stone added and my Dad nodded in agreement."Besides, that's only if our first plan doesn't work." Dad added and I shook my head.I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Willa right now especially after that fight the other day but this was too much. Just because she's girl, Dad can't see her as a real person. He wants her to be a Mafia princess. To obey. To be innocent. To be helpless. He wants to break her. To make her submissive to us. That's just not her. She will never be like that. Anyone who's spent five minutes with her would know that but Dad is obsessed with the concept of having the
POV ZekeAfter the Underground we headed home as the twins and Blaise left to take Lydia home. Blade was happy since he won but the rest of us were annoyed. I couldn't believe that Willa went against our father and fought. I did have a moment of pride when she took down that hulk of a guy but it was fleeting. She shouldn't be fighting in public like that.I'm glad that she's strong and fights against our enemies and I was happy that she helped me out with that asshole Ivan but fighting in the Underground is something different. I could understand why she did it before, she and West needed money to live, but now.... she could have anything she ever wanted. Dad wanted to spoil her. Hell, we all did.All Dad wanted, all any of us wanted, was to take care of her. Spoil her, protect her, coddle her, be cuddled and loved by her. I didn't understand why she was being so fucking stubborn about it. She refused anything Dad offered to buy her. She wouldn't cuddle with anyone other than West and
POV AshThe next morning was Saturday and I got up early. I had heard the twins and Blaise and Lydia come in late the night before but I was half asleep and I figured that they would sleep past noon. I was surprised to see them walk into the kitchen as I was sipping my morning coffee. Lydia looked hung over and tired but the other three had a look that I couldn't quite read. Whatever it was, it wasn't good. As soon as they saw me, they had their masks back up and I shivered. I hated when the twins looked like that. I was used to it from Blaise but not from my baby brother and sister."Hey, kids! Did you have fun last night?" I called as they wandered around the kitchen to get drinks."Sure. It was nice." Willa replied after a strange pause.She toasted a bagel and then put cream cheese on it and slid it on a plate to West. He grinned his thanks and poured all four of them some juice. Willa made another bagel for Lydia who hugged her as she took it. Willa then made one for Blaise. I lo
Trigger warning: violencePOV StoneAfter the blast, we drove for a few moments before Dad exploded."What the hell were you two thinking? I gave you an order!" he screamed at the twins."Uh, oh. I think we're gonna be grounded." West whispered loudly to Willa who tried not to laugh.Dad turned to glare at West and pointed at him."YOU!!! You put her at risk! She could have gotten hurt or died. All this time...." he trailed off, seething."What? All this time, what?" West spat back not even a second later.Dad stared at him for a moment and the air in the SUV became even heavier than it was."I thought that is was Willa. That she was the one who was reckless and she was the one that wasn't listening but I was wrong, wasn't I? It's you. You're the reason she's this way. You're the reason she won't obey us. You're the one that's making this so difficult.This is all your fault! " Dad accused.Willa's eyes narrowed at Dad and she opened her mouth to argue but West cut her off."Yep. That'
POV WillaPain. That's all I can feel right now. I take that back. I'm also frustrated, hurt, and sad. I'm pissed. No I'm livid. I can't believe that I'm in this situation. I can't believe that I didn't see this coming. I'm mad at myself. I wasn't ready for this and now I'm paying the price. I sigh and look up at the light. The only thing illuminating this dingy basement. I hate this room. It's dark and cold. I detest being stuck in here. Three days. Three fucking days that I've been stuck here. Suddenly, the door creaks open and I glared at the person walking in."I swear to you, if you don't come save me from these assholes, I will put a bullet in your tiny brain." I yelled at her with venom, knowing that she wouldn't do anything to help me.Lydia laughed as the others chuckled at my expense as she walked towards me and I glared at her."I told you not to play poker with them. They look like ringers." She defended and I shook my head."Plus, you're just really bad at poker." Puck t
POV WestI looked toward Blaise as we drove to the meeting place in the SUV. All my 'brothers' and our 'father' were with us so I couldn't say much to him. He nervously shook his leg as we followed the SUV filled with the 'kidnappers' demands.I knew he was losing his patience. He seemed desperate to see Willa even though he knew that she was fine. I felt the same way. We had called in some favors with some old gangs to get some help and I trusted those guys completely. Blaise also called in some favors with some muscle that he said he would trust with his life.Of course, I didn't tell Blaise that one of the guys with Willa, Puck, was and ex of hers of sorts. They had a fling a while ago and I knew that Willa wouldn't do anything with Puck now so I thought it was best not to mention it. I knew that Blaise could get jealous and we didn't need to add more emotions to this situation.The plan was for Puck and a few others to drive Willa to the meeting spot. 'Dad' was to get out and exch
