Lazarus De Loughrey
“Are you willing to trust Emmett?” Bellatrix asked, cutting through the sea of thoughts invading my mind. We took separate cars, following Emmett in one that wouldn’t draw attention when we entered Donovan’s estate.
Tapping my finger against the wheel, pondering on what answer was befitting. There was a point in my life when he was the closest person to me, the only person I trusted, the only person I never questioned when it came to loyalty.
But everything was temporary in life, people and even the seesaw I stepped on when I became King.
“Emmett knows my weaknesses.” I continued, explaining the twisted belief I had in him. “He knew my parents personally, they loved him as well. If this is real, it would mean that he never saw any of us as family. However, he’s not a person who can fake happiness. If he went this far, well then, he would accomplish the cruelest way to hurt me.” I sm
Bellatrix SinclairI discussed the plan with Judah and Nova, both were strongly against my return to the resistance, but this was the only way. We were set to depart tonight, any longer than these two nights would confirm his suspicions.Lazarus observed me from a distance; arms folded with his back against the wall. His silence was unsettling, accompanied by his penetrating gaze that licked a trail of fire along my spine. Anxiety bubbled in my chest, keenly aware of my every word and every move.As soon as they left, the tension erupted like a volcano and became suffocating. I balled my hands into tight fists, springing to my feet and marching over to him as frustration boiled my blood. “What’s your fucking problem?”My body vibrated with a mixture of unease and ire. Lazarus was the only one who rattled the foundation of my soul, the only one I couldn’t read, especially with that blank expression of smoky indignation. After what seemed like an eternity of us being locked in a trance,
Bellatrix SinclairMy heart was racing, thundering in my ears as we made our way back home and into Lazarus office. I stated the obvious, bouncing my attention between them. “He’s going to know we were there.”Emmett’s jaw tensed, setting all our evidence onto the desk. “Then we need to work fast for a conviction before he has a chance to cover up his tracks.” He ordered with a sense of resolution.They sprung into action, reading through the mass paperwork, entirely focused. They were completely absorbed in discovering the true crimes of Donovan Van Acker. I studied them, awaiting a semblance of hesitation.This wasn’t a stranger, this was Emmett’s father and Lazarus’s uncle. A conviction of a family member, surely apart of them didn’t want this.Lazarus placed an ironclad wall between us, ensuring that not a single drop of his emotions leak into mine. His thoughts must be convoluted, the

Lazarus De LoughreyI clenched my jaw, curdling the disdain in my chest as I sneered. “Get out.”Emmett’s face stricken of haunted anguish, despondency thickening his voice. “Lazarus, I’m being serious.”I jerked my chin towards him, signaling Christian to remove him from the premises. “So am I.”Emmett fought against Christian’s hold yet willingly let himself be restrained. Christian gave a curt nod, starting to drag him out of the room.But Emmett protested with hardened eyes. “Donovan is working with Bjorn.”Grinding my teeth in annoyance, my fists tightened. “You chose him and what? Now you are coming here for forgiveness?” I laughed, bitterly. “You aren’t that naive Emmett.” I spat.Fire blazed upon his face, every feature steeled with determination as he stood his ground. “I don’t expect forgiveness, but the situation is getting out of hand, even you won’t be able to contain it.”Throwing him a dry look. “You fail to realize that the situation is already dire, half the populatio
Bellatrix SinclairI masked my smile behind my hand, failing to suppress my laughter. Nova’s cheeks reddened, staring at the floor and avoiding eye contact. Judah cleared his throat, polished and composed. “I would appreciate if you forgot what you saw.”Flicking my attention onto Lazarus who scowled at them. I could hear his laughter echo within my mind, a twinkle of humor in his eyes. With his mark, I could feel his emotion more clearly, reverberating in my bones.That’s how I knew the betrayal was like a scalding knife to the heart.The atmosphere thickened with acrimonious tension, seeping into my muscles and coiling tightly. My heart ached at the sight of a broken friendship; Lazarus didn’t have family aside from Emmett and Donovan – and we all have seen that relationship go up in flames.Lazarus considered only a few of his most trusted people as his family and Judah destroyed it. Apologies weren’t enough; however, I saw the way guilt infested his heart and continued to chew at
Nova LaventalI was ravenous, unaware that he could awaken such desire within me, obliterate any semblance of shyness because the need for him was all-too consuming. The charge between us was electric, crackling rhapsody that sent shivers down my spine from his words.Angling my hips forward until I felt his cock throbbing against my core, expelling a sharp breath as I felt myself grow wetter with anticipation. His needy moans poured into my veins like the sweetest aphrodisiac - creating an addiction.Judah tore off his blindfold, slithering his hands along my thighs until he reached my ass, palming the flesh, relentlessly squeezing until I felt sore, a whimper slipping from my lips. Our eyes were locked in a trance, those irises glowing a perfect golden shade, heavy with lust.Suddenly he shot to his feet with me in his grasp, each step caused his length to rub against my pussy, initiating an ache with sparks of excitement and need. “You’re teasing me on purpose.” I pouted.Judah set
