It fucking hurt, for real.

Angelina’s POV“You broke my trust, Lucas! And you know exactly how hard it was for me to let you in, in the first place. You know everything about me, and about my past. I bared my fucking heart to you! And what did you do? You remained silent. You saw and heard how much I was drowning in guilt for causing their deaths! I was blaming myself immensely and you saw all that suffering and kept quiet about it. Is that how much you care about me? If that’s true, I don’t want it anymore. Because I clearly do not mean that much to you the way you led me to believe” I said angrily to him.I wasn’t going to open the door no matter what. No matter who talked to me or who tried to get me to let them in, but against my better judgment, I found myself doing the exact opposite.I had an open wound, bleeding and hurting, and I couldn’t resist from letting out that unbearable pain on him. He deserved whatever I threw at him because he fucking hurt me the most out of all of them. Even more than Diana.

Lucas’s POVI rolled my window and addressed one of the guards firmly “I’m crossing over to meet someone important and coming back in two minutes. Keep your eyes and ears open alright? And don’t shoot my car when you see me coming back”The guard nodded his head in understanding with a smile at my warning.It took me about fifteen minutes over the Canadian territory to meet up where Alex was waiting for me by his SUV. Jenny was sitting cross legged against the hood of the car. She was a sight for sore eyes, both of them were. It felt like I haven’t seen them in months even though it was about a month and a half ago that we said goodbye to them.I parked by the side of the road and got out quickly. They both walked over to me and I couldn’t help myself from launching myself at them and hugging them both very tightly.My throat thickened as many emotions washed over me at the confirmation of their safe presence around me.“Wow, you weren’t kidding about that bear hug” said Jenny in a mu

Lucas’s POVI called Mathew when I was two minutes close to home to open the iron gate for me to pass through it.Before I left, I asked the three guys standing guards outside to go to the border and stay there to participate in taking down Zade and his men in a few hours. It was an excuse to make them leave so they don’t see Alex and Jenny stepping out of the trunk.I parked the car outside the house and got out, opening the trunk and letting them out.Mathew came running after closing the gate and hugged Alex emotionally, he smiled at Jenny and nodded his head at her respectfully.“Hope my brother didn’t drive you too crazy for the past month and a half” said Alex sarcastically.“He had his moments but it was all under control” he said with a wide smile.I rolled my eyes at that, right!We walked ahead to the front door and just as we reached it, Sara opened the door with a wide grin on her face.We hurried inside into the warm house as they hugged Sara, then we entered the living r

Angelina’s POV “I mean I was no angel either, I did try to provoke him with my words, but still he was a very hateful person in my eyes. And Lucas? Man Lucas had murder plastered plain on his face for me the second my eyes met his in that living room. He scared the shit out of me. The only nice people in this house were Diana and Sara. April was still trying to get over the death of her father so we didn’t really interact much at first” she said softly. “How did all that change all of a sudden? I mean the way Lucas described your relationship with Alex made it seem like you two are soul mates. And the softness I heard last night when he was talking to you made me feel like he adores you like a little sister. How can they be the same people you just told me about?” I asked in a baffled tone. “Well, just like I had a presumed idea of them, they had the same thing about me. Jacob killed my father, right in front of me. I saw him come out of his office with the gun in his hand. But I ne

Angelina’s POVJenny held my hands softly and said gently “Isn’t there any part of you that understands the reason behind his reluctance to share that secret with you? A part that is able to give him, and even you a second chance here? Diana feels absolutely devastated that you’re insisting on leaving today. She doesn’t want you to put yourself in danger just because you’re mad at them. They really like you Angelina. And for the record, I do too. Even though this is the first time we’ve seen each other, but I feel like we’re so much alike. Do you know that I threatened him that I will come to Snow myself and kick his ass if he doesn’t apologize to you for calling you a hooker and almost treating you like one even though he knew you weren’t? I gave him hell for that stupid behavior of his. Oh and I cannot describe how much I laughed my ass off when he told me you almost unmanned him! You had my total respect right at that moment” she chuckled and I couldn’t help myself from smiling at

Lucas’s POVI could sense her answer to mom’s request before she opened her mouth.I knew I have to take plan B from the second my eyes met Jenny’s and I saw her slightly shake her head to tell me that her talk wasn’t very helpful to change her mind.I was not even counting on it. I knew how stubborn she can be, add in how extremely betrayed and angry she feels because of me, and I knew she’d want to leave just to get away from me. But hell if I’m going to let that happen and grant her that wish.She lifted up her head and looked at mom in anguish as she said gravely “I’m really sorry Diana. But I cannot stay here. I’ve already made my decision and I’m afraid there’s no going back from that. I know you mean well, and I know you’re scared for me, but I can take care of myself”I resisted the urge to snort loudly and contradict those words. She cannot take care of her self, not against Zade’s men. If someone manages to escape both traps we set up here and in Toronto, they’ll be coming f

Angelina’s POVSaying goodbye to Diana and April was soul destroying. Even though they both withheld the truth from me and I was so mad at them at first, I forgave them and shifted all my blame on Lucas instead.“Don’t abandon training okay? Maybe David can help you improve until it’s safe for you to enroll in Fairbanks, he seemed pretty decent” I said to her as I held her hands softly.She nodded her head and I saw her tears start to descend down her face. I couldn’t stand to see her crying like this, so I hugged her instead.She whispered in my ear regretfully “I’m so sorry I hid the truth from you, Angelina. I really liked you like a sister and hurting you was the last thing that I wanted to do to you”“I know April, I forgive you and I love you just like a real sister if I ever had one” I said back softly in her ear as well.“You do, you have me Angelina. Even if we don’t end up seeing each other again, you’ll always have a sister here” she said emotionally.I tightened my hug to
