I was shocked to see Alpha right there with his shriveled black suit and his gun pointed at me and the other 3 guys. They slowly get up while raising their hand in the air. He then asks them to distanced themself from me while there is a lot of people who are scrambling at the back, trying to go out. But, One of them rushes towards me and grabs my right hand harshly, forcing me to stand up and got off the sofa then he put me in a chokehold while he pulls out a pocket knife and aims it at Alpha. The other two were long gone leaving the three of us alone in the room.
"BACK OFF MAN!! TROW YOUR GUN AWAY! DO IT NOW!!!"
I was sobering up due to the rush of adrenaline. I'm scared and anxious as at that moment I was having a hard time breathing due to the chokehold. The man was walking slowly, full of alert, moving in a circle as Alpha follow suit but then slowly he raised his hand and slowly lower his gun down.
With an ice-cold voice, Alpha spoke, "Stop it now you prick. Do you even know who I am?! You better stop that and step aside. If there is even a scratch on her I'll bury you down the ground."
Hearing that remark, the man stop his movements, he was scared seeing how much his body trembles. His hands were also vaguely shaking and his breath was shallow, yet he acted brave, so he said "I-I got nothing to lose man. I did this for my family so don't blame me. He ask me to do it, He told me to bring drugs in her to make her an addict." while bringing the knife closer to my neck.
Alpha quiets down and puts up a frustrated face as he tried to find out what is the reason for this to happen. He stays quiet and observes him more.
But suddenly as if he realized something, he points the gun back at him and said, "I know who you are. You must be his lackey right? Hah! knowing that now, I can't let you go punk!"
I was confused about what was going on but suddenly Alpha shout, "LILIANA! ON 3 MAKE SURE U ELBOW BACKWARDS AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND DUCK YOUR HEAD! NOW.... 3!!!"
I didn't realize what I was doing and what I was thinking but while hearing his word I just act it out and elbow his stomach as hard as I can and duck as low as possible. Then...
BANG! BANG! BANG!
I slowly looked up to see Alpha's face. It was splattered with blood not long after I heard a body dropped behind me. I slowly look back, I saw the same man with blood all over him as it seeps through his clothes and the floor. Alpha shot him on his heart and abdomen. I was about to scream seeing the horror in front of my eyes. But Alpha held his hand on my mouth and muffle my scream.
"Liliana... You better not scream, Unless you want the whole house to know what just happen."
I nod my head as fast as I could since his hand in my mouth was uncomfortable. Alpha took his hand off my mouth and start to wipe the blood off his face. I was still sitting on the floor trembling, trying to cope with my feelings, and my head that's going dizzy from the alcohol and drug as my adrenaline dies down. It all happened so fast as Alpha picks me up from the floor without warning receiving a squeal from me and was now trying to bring me down to his friend. As I realize what he is about to do I struggle to let my hand break free.
"Stop! Wait! Let go you jerk! Where are you taking me?! I wanna Change! This blood is disgusting and it even goes to my hand and arm! No, this can't be seen by anyone. This is a big NO! So let me down a sec!" I rattle around in his arm as he sighs and puts me down.
"You're loud, God! Look, I saved your ass just now so you better not make it hard for me." He was annoyed, It's very visible but I state my demands already so I'm not backing up.We both stare at each other eyes as if we are playing the 'don't blink' game. Until he sighs and looks away "You got 10 minutes." Hearing his agreement I sigh in relief as I muttered my thanks that were replied with a nod.
After 10 minutes I come back with a Black floral off-shoulder and spaghetti strap top, Denim jeans, and a black pointed-toe flat
Alpha looks at me for a good minute then look away with a cough,"Took you long enough. Now let's go." I was confused at what he was saying so I decided to ask him"To where? We're at my house remember." I said with a scoff while folding my hands and standing one-sidedly. "No. You're going with me." was his only reply then he goes back carrying me down.Alpha didn't let me speak any words and just directly drag me downstairs to meet with his other friends including Val. "Ok, now let's go," Alpha said sternly. They all nod without any comments and started to walk to the door while here I am confused like a pigeon didn't know what's about to come. "NO! This is my house where would I go?!"Hearing another rejection from me seems to make him on edge as he groans and shouts, "Jesus Christ, you're annoying as hell! For fuck sake!" but then suddenly a sharp pain goes on my shoulder and I pass out.
Going to Alpha's Point of view again, He spoke with his mates about what just happen."Guys, Hear me out. Just now I saw a tattoo vaguely visible on that guy's inner left arm. It was exposed due to him stretching his hand to keep me away. It was a wolf-like claw with a sword in a diagonal position. It's Crimson Claw mark. Mikael has started to move."
Hearing that, everyone gasp in shock as I adjust Liliana in my arm"Gosh trev. You could have got her killed with that hit you dumbass." I complain and he just laugh and said "sorry, but this will be easier."
"Also, Val. Don't go back with us yet. I need you to stay and clean the mess upstairs. Do you want Lucas to stay and help?" I said. Val puts on a face that says" Have mercy" and we all laugh while going back leaving Val and Lucas to take care of her friend and mother.
I woke up in an unfamiliar room with a classical vibe. It was dusty but neat with the sunlight passing through the window and the curtains flutter. Woking up with a painful shoulder and head was not pleasant but it all came to stop right when a memory of last night flashes. The bizarre scene, the rescue from Alpha, the argument about where to go, and suddenly is all gone black. Due to the rush of memory coming back I groaned as I felt pain in my head again. Seem like my head was filled with needles and it was about to explode. My thought was disturbed by the sound of someone clearing its throat. I shoot my head towards the sound and see that guy again, Alpha. He slowly walked towards me as my whole body trembles in fear. He was very intimidating in the black shirt with a leather jacket and jeans. As he realizes that I am now soberer he goes over to me. My body trembles in fear as he got near. " A-Alpha, why am I here? I want to go back home. P-ple-" He glare at me wh
Since a month ago, I started to call Alpha his name since we're more familiar with each other and it seems like he doesn't mind me calling him that. I heard Jacob calling my name as I turn around to face him. He asks me to go and follow him as I stand up and go upstairs with him. At that time in the living room, Trevor and Jaxson shouted so loud that Neva goes to his mother mode again, while Lucas and Eddie act like they didn't hear anything other than the TV. Neva nagged them for being noisy and disturbing.As we reach the corridor, it was quieter. Jacob looks nervous and anxious as he asks me a question "I know you had your mom but other than her, do you have any relatives? Like you dad or brother?"I was confused as to why he had to ask when he already did a background check on me "Why? What makes you interested in my family?" I frown as I continued my question, "Didn't you do a background check on me already? You know my current mother is my stepmother right?"
I sigh and walked away, back to my brothers who are as loud as a zoo. I go to the furthest sofa and just sit back and close my eyes for a moment only to open them and saw what I wish I had never seen in my whole life. Trevor and Jaxson following the flirty scene in the movie while Lucas and Neva just laughing like a maniac. On the other hand, Eddie seems to have given up on them. I just sigh silently while smiling knowing that I still got them even if the world betrays me. Not long after we heard a loud thump from above and a glass shattering and some muffled screams were heard then suddenly everything was quiet. We all looked at each other and goes straight to her room, scrambling in the process. Back to Liliana Perspective, After finding Val's room I knock on the door and come in as he responds."Heyyy... Whatcha doing? Lucas said you've been here since this evening, you ok?" He sits up and smiles at me as he just nods at my remark " I'm good no problem.
"My name is Dexter Filigos. Surprise? HAHAHA!" The clown man said. I was baffled, I was full of disbelief at what he said. It was the name of my long-lost childhood friend who I thought died protecting me. I was thrilled yet scared at the same time. He changed, I know. But this change was not what I expect. Heck, I didn't even know he's alive." You're alive. How? I-I thought y-you- " That seems to be the only thing I can spat out since my brain felt like it stops operating. He stays silent as he slowly approaches me and turns me around. As I saw him in front of me, I can only stand still while staring at his masked face. He bring his hand up near my ear as he tuck a strain of my hair softly and said," I fight, Lily. For my survival. It's been a while ha? I missed you." I start to reminisce about my past as I keep on staring at him.I was so small at that time, maybe around 4 years old. I was wearing a baby pink dress with two pigtails, playing in the garden with
Upon hearing my nickname called, I flashed my eyes open and gasped for air as if I suffocated. I watched my surroundings and was trying to stand up, but I can't... something is holding me back.. a metal chain... no.... a handcuff. Wait?! A fucking handcuff?! Ugh! what a perverted guy. Don't they usually use rope?! Well, at least that's what I learn from watching anime."Well...Well... what do we have here? The Big Mafia boss's Little sister. Oh! did I spill the beans?" He gasps as he puts on a surprised face which even a baby knows it's fake."HAHAHA oh well, that guy deserves every pain there is, but you will make do sweety." His chuckled echoes throughout the whole room as I gritted my teeth. Hearing him being cocky makes me want to slap him across the face as hard as I can that it leaves a print of my palm in his face.I looked up only to see a silhouette of two men. One of them is what I assume the one who spoke just now and the other one must have been Dex, seeing
Hearing my word, his smirk grows bigger. After Dexter free me from the cuff he said, "good decision my dear... now let us start from my name hmm?? My name is Tim Bren, I work for the over known mafia Mikael Lenox." I scoff knowing that he turns out to be another lackey."You act that high and mighty and yet it turns out you're nothing but a lackey huh? " His face turns sour as he scowls his eyebrow, hearing my remark he gritted his teeth and speak," Watch your words bitch... I can kill you in a mere second and your childhood friends there can't even do shit about it. Mind your tongue if you don't wanna lose it, lass. " I clicked my tongue and rolled my eyes, "yea.. yea, whatever. I don't care about what pleases you and shit. Don't forget that I receive the basic combat training during my stay with Jacob and also I'm here only to fulfill my goal, and taking your head is one of them. I may be weak now but heed my words, Tim, I'll kill you before you know it." I said as
I woke up with the sound of alarm and sun rays passing through the half-curtained window. That's right. They give me a new phone since I left mine back at Jacob's place. Since coming here I haven't called my mom and informed her about my situation since I don't want to involve her, not in my current state. I get off my bed and go freshen up. I dress in a black tank-top and short workout pants. I tie my hair into a ponytail and wear my fingerless gloves. I go out of the room greeted by Dexter. He seems to be waiting for quite a while already and at the sight of my door opening, he sigh and said, "Finally! Took you hours to go out. Anyway, we're gonna start training right now. Hmm... seeing your outfit seems like you're ready. Good! Let's go." He warms up his muscle along the way by doing simple stretching. Looking at what he is doing I followed what he does and so we go to the training room. We walked to a hall with dimmer light and as I walk I can see a door right at the end
" Well, Mark... Hi. Now go away and mind your own business." I said to him with complete contempt yet without minding my word and insincerity, I didn't even accept his handshake yet he just grab my bleeding hand and said in a worried tone, "Your hand is bleeding, at least let me care for it. You are part of us now so as a doctor I can't ignore it. Even tho you don't care I do so for now just see it as you following my selfish remark."I am suspicious of his intentions in going to this length just for a small hand bruise. Is he a truly good guy? but he's part of the mafia, maybe he just wants to get closer to me so I would give him my trust, and then he would use me? Did he have any ulterior motive? " I know, you're suspicious of me but I didn't have any plan to harm you. "I sigh and just agreed " Ok, let's go then..."We arrived at the doctor's office. It was clean and had a strong smell of medicine and herbs. Three beds are separated by soft cream curtains. Ther
