On The Border Chapter 59
Alex’s POV Damn it my brother is so annoying sometimes! He was still giving us a devilish gaze at lunch, making Jenny even more uncomfortable. He needs to busy himself with his own life and leave ours alone. I looked over at David every now and then. Something was off about him the second I walked into the living room earlier. He looked on edge and troubled. He tried so hard to hide it from us, me especially, by playing it cool and pretending to laugh at Lucas’s continuous jokes, but he wasn’t fooling me. Now that I was on to him, I was noticing his weird behavior and observing every little reaction he gives. Was he acting like this before and I was just too blind to notice it? Or was his act really dropping now more than before and his mask was slowly starting to slip? Jenny notices my look and nudges my knee under the table to look away and not raise his awareness of my suspensions. Despite how horribly she lies, she was managing to play it cool in front of him. She even

Jenny’s POV I kept to myself the entire evening that day. I stayed in my room and didn’t get out of it, until dinner time. I was worried sick about what was going down tomorrow. And no matter how many promises Alex makes to me, and how confident he sounds about his plan, it’s still not enough to calm me down or reassure me. I was sure I will remain like this until it’s all over. I was a total jumble of nerves, and I decided to stay in my room and hide it from everyone else. It helped that no one bothered me after I came back from my walk with Alex. He also disappeared to get himself ready for tomorrow. I assumed he would tell Lucas at this point, or even his mother. But he said he can’t tell either of them until the last possible minute as to not alert David at all into warning his father. If it was up to me, I’d skip dinner all together and stay hidden in my room, I didn’t have any appetite in the first place. However, when Alex came back into the room and extended his hand

Alex’s POVI take him with me over to Mathew’s house.His house was a few feet away from ours, on the same land, but had the privacy David wanted.I knocked lightly on the door until Mathew opened it.He looked between us in confusion.“Can we borrow your house for a while Mathew? David and I have something private to talk about and we don’t want to be heard in our house” I said politely.“Sure Alex, the house is all yours, let me grab my coat” he said right away.He grabbed his coat from the nearby rack, put on his shoes, and left us all alone.I gestured for David to follow me inside.We settled in their small living room.He nervously sat in the middle of the long couch, while I sat right in front of him on their wooden coffee table.He seemed to be getting a last minute, second thoughts on saying whatever he wanted to say.I supported my arms on my thighs and leaned closer to him.“What do you want to talk about David? And why do you look like shit?” I asked tensely.He held his h

Alex’s POV I head back into the house and call for Mathew to meet me in the front yard. When we stand out of earshot from the house I take a serious tone and fill him in on the entire thing, including my entire plan. I watch his face turn from utter complete astonishment to an exploding rage. “I can’t believe the length he would go to just for leadership! Now it all makes sense! Why your father appointed you as the next leader instead of him. But, how did Isaac know not to trust him? Why didn’t he take his precautions and invited him to your wedding despite his suspicions?” “That’s the part I would do anything to ask him about” I said dryly. “Don’t tell me you will forgive David, Alex?” he asked incredulously. “He can never be forgiven Mathew. But whether his confession saved him from being killed along with his father, that I am not sure of. I’ll have to talk to Lucas and mom and see what they have to say about that” I said firmly. “Why are you telling me first, shouldn’t Luca

Alex’s POVWe spent the whole remaining time until the moment of the delivery, gathered around our biggest warehouse, preparing for the fight. All the men from the clan who were capable of handling a gun were given instructions and locations to hide until my signal.Each of us had different kinds of guns depending on their positions out there. We also packed extra ammo.I didn’t know how many people will be inside that truck, but I was sure they were a lot more than our supposed number that I conveyed to David’s father. He wouldn’t want to take any chances again and risk me or Lucas surviving that attack.When the clock was approaching go time, I took a moment to myself to call Jenny.I knew despite my repeated reassurances that she was burning a hole through the floor right about now.I was also worried about her health.I wanted to hear her cute girly voice as a good luck charm before I go all in guns blazing, check on her and the rest to make sure they are holding up okay, and let

Alex’s POVI let my men take care of the dead bodies and head back home with Lucas.It was time to lure Stefan back here and end this once and for all.If he’s in Yukon, it should take him less than an hour to be here.“Are we going to deal with this publicly or what?” asked Lucas curiously as he drove.“No, it’s a family thing. It stays in house” I said tightly.“I think we should make an example out of him” noted Lucas.“I wouldn’t mind that if we discovered it before Patrick Walker was killed for the wrong reason. But now if the Walkers find out that he was innocent of that accusation, they will become a headache on us again” I said firmly.“Innocent my ass! We all know he was working with Lord asshole behind our backs! Maybe he didn’t deliver the shooter himself, but he was in on it. He knew it was going down and he sat back and watched it happen!” roared Lucas in anger.“Yeah, I’m sure his clan will see it that way” I said dryly.I carry on to put an end to that argument “I don’t

Alex’s POVWhen Sara went to open the door, mom stood up and faced the entrance of the living room, her face blank not betraying a single emotion.Lucas and I were standing to the side of the room where he couldn’t notice us right away.I heard his foot steps approaching, saw his side profile as he rushed over to my mom and enveloped her in a hug.“Diana! I’m at a complete loss of words! I’m still not registering how all this happened!” he said frantically.Mom stood rigidly, not returning the hug.When he noticed that, he backed away and inspected her warily.“Neither are we, frankly” I said icily.He whirled to face us and I saw the blood drain from his face as it became pale and white as a sheet.“Alex! Lucas!...... Wait… I’m… confused” he whispered in shock.“What’s wrong?” I faked concern.“Mathew called me, he said you were all dead!” he regained his voice and said flatly.“Yeah, we know. We were there” I said simply.He looked at me for a while and I knew the instant he figured

Alex’s POVAt the mention of the word ‘cemetery’, Stefan’s face paled and his eyes went wide as he looked at me in fear for the first time since he was exposed.“Wait Alex…” he started to say shakily.I didn’t have any more time or patience within me to waste anymore; that last one I was already running low on, so I shoved him in front of me out of the living room as Lucas followed behind.He was trying to struggle as I pushed him out through the front door, so I held on to the back of his shirt and walked him towards the car while Lucas went ahead of me and got into the driver’s seat.“Alex, you’re not listening to me. I can help yo…”I held the back of his neck and knocked his forehead on the side of the car brutally.Het let out an agonized scream that made me a little satisfied and I shoved him into the back seat as I slid next to him.“Keep talking so I can keep hitting you shamelessly” I threatened darkly.That seemed to shut him up as Lucas drove out of the house.I could feel
