Feeling absolutely done with everything. The smallest of actions made breathing a hard task. Every time the doorknob would jiggle while I was awake. I would start hyperventilating, imagining him returning to finish what he had started.I didn't want to be alone, no matter how far I locked myself away and for how long I did, I didn't want to be left alone. It was so much scarier alone, so much worse than before. My senses were heightened when I was alone, especially in the dark.I peeked through my arms and found Julian still seated on the ground, his eyes locked with mine and he smiled. The small act encouraged me, and I hiccuped before unwinding from myself and slowly crawling over to him.He settled me against him in his lap. Arms wrapped around me and his forehead pressed against mine."Jul..jul..."I was saying.My sentence got cut off as I hiccuped again. He shushed me calmly, his hands resting on my cheeks and wiping away my tears as he whispered gently"I know love, I'm sorry." .Carefu

"She's in danger isn't she, that's why you're pulling this shit with the training crap? You're just making sure that if you're not around then I am?" Edward asked."Yes, yes I am." Julian replied.Julian replied instantly making Edward sigh before muttering something like: "Stupid Whipped older brother."And Julian quickly corrected him saying "You mean, Boss."Huffing, both of them turned to me as I cleared my throat."Where should I change?"I questioned in a soft tone, barely containing my giggle when I spotted the sibling hating frowns -from dramas- on their faces.Julian opened another door and led me inside, He stood facing the wall with yet another frown on his face as I changed. He didn't really have to look away since he had already seen~..I cut off my thoughts as a blush rose to my face, taking a deep breath to calm my pounding heart. I slipped the corset off and hurriedly pulled on his unused tank top. As I'd guessed, it fell over my shoulders and down my chest revealing a bit too

Julian had left me in the trusted hands of his brother. I was now under 24/7 surveillance by Edward, much to his dismay. Not only did he have to begin training with me all over again, he also had to look after-baby sit- me till Julian returned. He was not alone though as Shane had also taken up duty outside my room.From the little information Edward had slipped to me, Shane was the very first member to take oath on Julian's hand and hence he was one of the most trusted members of the gang. For now, Edward sat at the couch. Grumbling to himself while watching a K-drama I had started today.As soon as the episode finished, he was on his feet. Stretching his arms above his head and releasing a relaxed sigh as his shoulder popped. I stared at him-horrified- but when he rotated his shoulder again, I knew that he hadn't dislocated it."Let's go train." he said.I groaned in annoyance as Edward suggested the dreaded activity. Ever since Julian had left a few days ago, and Edward began baby sitt

Julian POV:"You actually went through with it!!"I winced and glared at Edward as he paced inside my office. As soon as my control was properly established, I had passed the new order. It was only now though that it seemed to occur to the members, those under the oath didn't seem to mind it as much as the ones not under it did. And of course they would.In the new order, I had decreased the time limit for those who hadn't taken oath. Especially when more than half of them were under my father or playing spies for our enemies.If one of them actually tried to get the bounty and take Amrita..."What the Hell!" Edward shouted.Edwards shout brought me out of my daze as I stared at the now half pen grasped tightly between my fingers. The other half laid on the floor, glistening with the leaking ink that had managed to get on it.Turning my bored gaze back to my brother, I raised an eyebrow as he released a tired sigh and ran a hand over his face."This will cause an uproar."he said.I leaned ba

Shane knocked on the door and called out as I abruptly put the letter back, still in slight shock from the revelation I had received. With a 'come in' from me, he opened the door and popped his head in. He looked around the room in caution before sliding in with a tray of food.He set it down on the desk in front of me after I put away the letters, he was quick to turn around, ready to leave but I stopped him. In need of company to take my mind off of things."Are they okay?" I asked.He stiffened, turning around and offering me a weak smile that weakened my own."We can't get in contact with them right now Donna, they're engaged in combat at the moment." Shane replied.I nodded slowly, loosing whatever appetite I had developed over the span of 2 hours which I had spent fretting, overthinking, a bit of crying, and a lot of praying."They're going to be okay Donna, they've dealt with things like this before and came back perfectly fine."I swallowed to moisten my dry throat and looked up at h
