Jane James's tension was palpable, so I went to him on instinct. I kissed him, and he held me tight, travelling from my lips to my neck. Then he breathed me in and sighed. I felt his tension ease. I led him back to the couch where Philip and I were sitting, and he sat next to me and held me. "I.." He said in my ears but couldn't complete the sentence. Was he going to say the four-letter word? I wondered. "Jane, we need to tell you something," Philip said, sounding a bit worried. Whatever they had to tell me would get me upset. I could feel it. "We have to go on a trip like last time." He blurted out, and I sprang up from the chair with rage. "Are you kidding me?" I yelled. Why would they think of travelling at a time like this, when my life was in danger because of them? "Are you serious?" I asked them, and James buried his face in his palm. He was frustrated again. "Jane, please hear us out," Philip pleaded, and I stood there. "I can't believe you will even consider leaving at
Jane James looked hurt, and I couldn't care less because I was hurt. "Why will you say that, Jane?" He asked, and I looked away because my tears were flowing freely. "This is serious to us. We are serious about this," James said to me. "Leaving me at the time that I need your support does not look like it to me," I said and walked back into the apartment. I was glad that I didn't unpack my stuff. I went for the liquor at the bar, grabbed one without even checking what it was and took a swig. Philip collected the bottle from me and held me to his chest. I broke down immediately. I was afraid. I knew I wouldn't survive another three months without them. I remembered what I went thro
Jane I dreaded the morning because that was when they will leave for the Order. I still couldn't wrap my head around what was happening. I was yet to be convinced that dragons existed and if all they were telling me were true. Yet, I had seen stuff, but I might be hallucinating. I might have a mental condition that heartbreak, loneliness, fear and distrust had caused. Anything could be an issue. So far, all I had to go on was the hallucinations and sensory triggers along with their words. The fact they tried to jump off a building because they thought they would transform into dragons, was a problem. Even though I had doubts and was afraid that we had mental issues, I was happiest with them. They made me feel alive. I have never been loved this much, even though they were yet to tell me the four-letter words. I guess it did not come to them easily, which meant it would be worth the
Jane Running into the agents was just too much. How the fuck was I going to survive these assholes? I was driving James's car, and I was living with them. I sure couldn't deny them right now. I stayed put and tried to wear a brave facade, hoping that would scare them off. "Dr Richards," Agent David said with a smile leaning on the drivers' side window of the convertible I was driving. He looked at the car and admired it. "Which one of them is screwing you?" He asked, and I did not answer him. "Anyway, you seem to have upgraded so quickly, Jane. Going on leave whenever you like and screwing your patients," He said, and I snapped back. "They are not my patients," I argued, and he shook his head. "On the contrary, doctor, they are yet to be cleared from the hospital, so technically, you are committing a crime since there is evidence that your first contact and interaction with them was as your patients," he said, and I froze because he was right. James and Philip needed to have a se
Jane "Why would they want to do that to the women in their lives?" I asked Derin, and he sighed. "The thrill of screwing with someones' mind. They are rich and bored, and most rich people use other people for sports. You are a huge target, Jane. I learned you did not start on the right foot with them. Soon they become all friendly, pretending they have your best interest at heart. All might be geared toward breaking you. Payback for not clearing them when they demanded that you should. If you end up at the county asylum, it will be a great achievement on their part. Imagine it, them breaking the mind of a psychiatrist who refused to clear them. It will be bragging rights," he said, and I became scared and ashamed of myself. "You mean you have not been hallucinating?" he asked me again, and I shook my head. "If I were, I would check myself into a clinic," I said, and he leaned forward. "Do I look different to you?" He asked, and I shook my head, even though he had lizard eyes. I pr
Jane I couldn't believe what had just happened to me. I must have panicked. I didn't think things through. I wasn't thinking until I entered my apartment. I was afraid. I had doubted everything from the onset, and the agent's words were the push I needed to act on my doubt. I sat in bed wondering if I had done the right thing. James and Philip never lied about their past or the multiple relationships they had. The only thing was that they never told me that the women ended up in the asylum. I sat down to evaluate all that the agent had told. How was it possible that he was telling the truth? Why would the agent go through such great lengths to protect me? Why would they be that kind? I was hallucinating about dragons and Lizards before the brothers opened up to me about it. Even if they were feeding me hallucinogens, they couldn't decide what I would hallucinate about. There was no way they were the cause of my hallucinations. What were the odds that the women they dated would see the
Jane Amrah was shocked to see me, and she did not hide it. Amrah hugged me tightly and told me how much she missed me. I told her about what happened at my apartment in detail and she was in shock. My story made her have a crush on the brothers. I spent the whole day with her and returned to the apartment. I tossed and turned most of the night, missing my men. They should have returned by now. The fifth day had come and passed with no sign of them. I hoped for our sakes that nothing bad had happened to them. I manage to sleep in the early hours of the morning. I got up and showered immediately. I intended to spend time with Amrah after breakfast. The moment I stepped out of the room, I screamed and then started to cry. I did not know who to rush to. Philip opened his arms, and I ran to him and wrapped my legs around him. I didn't care, I just started kissing him fiercely. To think I had left and returned. How did I think that i would be able to live without them. "Sorry we stayed a
Philip I couldn't believe how hurt Jane was until I felt it. I felt her pain. The way she spoke made me realise we had failed her. We were not expecting to be summoned when we were. It was sudden, and after all that we heard happened when we left, I realised that the Order was in on it. It was understandable that they would be working against us since they were only in charge of the shifter world because there was no king. The moment James and I ascend the throne, they would lose their power. It made a lot of sense. James had suspected them, but I had dismissed it until when we went this time around and found that we were the only ones summoned, and it was for no reason. I began to realise why all our bonds flipped and ran away from us. The order would lure us away with a summon, and then the NBI would question them and have them committed once they open up about the situation. It was a smart move, but it had to come to an end. Although we had an agent there working for us, I wasn't
