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 feeling comfy and cool but it was too quiet and there was a smell of lavender which was strange since I have pets in my room. I felt my eyelids heavy and my mouth dry but despite that, I tried to open my eyes and move my body which feels as stiff as a stick. With all the effort my body can exert I finally manage to open my eyes, it was an unfamiliar room that seemed like it belong to guys, the monochrome and classy yet masculine vibe. The room was filled with black colour and the dim light from the lamp with a surprisingly cute air purifier shaped like a cat with golden ears. It's as if that air purifier doesn't fit with the overall design of the room. I look around and see no one was there but it's weird since if I got home drunk, Alice is there, sober enough to bring me back to my room safely. Just when I was drowning in my thought, the door slowly opened. It's as if whoever is opening the door wanted it to be as quiet as possible in order to not disturb anyone who's in t
I froze and thought, 'Oh shit, why does the topic go there? but if I suddenly change, I'm fucked.' So the only thing I could think of was just to laugh it off and act like he was making a joke. "Omg Kev, what do you mean mafia. Do they even exist nowadays? The government and the police force are now backed up with tons of technology. Those crime organisations are now playing the invisible games. We don't see them nowadays. Are you drunk on action movies?" I said as I sip my mojito. He stayed silent as if he was still suspicious but then he sigh and put his hand on my waist pulling me closer. "Lily, don't say that. Are you being threatened to work there? Don't tell me you were forced to be a prostitute? are you scammed and get chased by the loan sharks? Dangers are always around. You might not know it but maybe the person you're working with is a dangerous organization and yes, those types of organizations you see in fictional novels and action movies exist even nowadays. Why don't yo
I woke in a body fit burgundy red dress with a side cut on the side and I use a knife holster to store my throwing knives. I wear smoky red make-up with burgundy lips, leave my hair straight, and use my classic gold geometric earring and some sweet golden heels. I was about to take my black channel purse before a knock comes through my door. It was Vanessa and Alice. Alice was dressed in a black tight dress with cleavage exposed and a smoky brown look along with a tight high ponytail. "Let's go, boss. We're gonna be late. It's 11 pm now."I was feeling anxious and excited, looking forward to either the thrill of danger or the touching reunion. It's more likely the first one that happens but regardless, I can't seem to calm my heart down. Currently, we're on our way to the place they usually hang out, Acedia. That's the name of one of the most popular clubs in the ELICO district. By the name itself, it's a place that disregards status and ranks. A place to let your inner demon out, let
I woke up with a rather unexplainable feeling yet it wasn't considered bad enough to ruin my morning. Today was finally the day, the time where I meet my target Kev Roman or Kevin Burrow. Never expect that we will have a reunion like this, truly. I take a slow, warm shower and filled my tub with woodland pine herb and mints bubble bath. I light up my white tea and sage scented candle to add a relaxing feel. Luna being a clingy bun she is, joined me in my bath. Seems like I've lost my privacy the moment I have this cat around. On the other hand, Yuki was not that intrigued by his curiosity, he mostly hang around the living room area. After finishing my bath, I dry myself and put on some make-up. I did some light natural make-up look and curled my hair. I finished up with a light pink matte and some gloss. After that, I go toward my closet and pull out two sets of outfits. There's a casual black tee with denim shorts and an oversize plaid shirt along with black classic c
As I reached ELICO, I entered Mirage, our building name, and goes straight to the office. all of the members have assembled and Vanessa stood behind my seat with her documents ready. I sat right down and the meeting started. "We've found a big clue on Lost Eden, Our three target is Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. We won't be going for all three instead our focus is Kevin Berrow. You can get his detail from Vanessa after this meeting but for now, we have to track his location. He's a lone wolf so he usually goes alone. But, there's a chance he's with Freed since Freed can be said as Kevin's babysitter. We don't have to worry about Bryan since he's just a plain psycho with pride as tall as Mount Everest. Different from the other two that have somewhat a relation Bryan is alone. We decide to leave that to Mark and Tim. If by chance Freed and Kevin are together, don't charge in, instead of retreat back and let me do a solo operation." But as I said those Alice abrup
The meeting has been concluded and we're all getting up to leave. But seeing that there was three prey we needed to hunt I called out to Tim and Dexter along with Mark. "Guys, Can we all talk for a while. I think this is something that's necessary." They all look at each other, confused about what I mean but then nod in agreement as they follow along.We go to Tim's office since it's the nearest to the Hall. We took our seats and then all eyes are on me. I sigh before I started talking. It was nerve-wracking to have all eyes on me even tho it was just three people. "Okay, it's been decided that we have three people to hunt but so far we don't have enough information on who we're hunting. There's a saying 'in order to defeat your enemy you must know your enemy' so-" I was cut off by Tim as he shockingly said"Wait wait, did you just quote Sun Tzu? For real?!" I was baffled at his words since Sun Tzu is a famous figure. Who didn't know him? "What's wrong with that? Who doesn't k
