Lazarus povLeaving me behind with two kids wasn’t enough for Than, was it? Of course, not. He had to go above, beyond and into the universe with the mysterious shit and hints. I hate my life. I really do. Alister looks completely unbothered while he stares up at me like he’s waiting for something. “Son, not now. I’m really not in the mood to answer another question you might have. How about we play a game of who can be silent for the longest? Sounds fun, doesn’t it?”He arches an eyebrow at me and pouts. “Dad, I am no longer a child. I think of myself as a young adult, so your tricks won’t work on me.” He talks with so much finality, crap, I think this kid sounds more like an adult than I do. “Yeah, but-” I start. Alister quickly cuts me off. “No butts. Besides, I just wanted to ask if we are leaving now or do you need to get something done before we do.” A smug smile spreads across his lips. Yeah, he got me here. Cheeky, little intelligent shit. I pinch the bridge of my nose

TRIGGER WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTENT MIGHT BE DISTURBING TO SOME READERS: VIOLENCE. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Lenox povOne thing this guy has forgotten is that the crazies never rest. And neither do I, obviously. I’m not crazy, if anyone’s wondering. Lumpy comes across as a guy with some brain power, but the further down the rabbit hole we go, the more I believe first impressions are truly misleading. Violence doesn’t help. Threats do little to nothing, but little does he know, I have another idea how to get what I want. If all else fails, make them uncomfortable. Lumpy stares at me, looking like he has won the imaginary battle already, but instead of showing annoyance or anger, I mimic his grin. My hand covers my crotch as I adjust myself and wink at him. A loud, needy groan leaves my lips before I lick them and lock my gaze with his. “I’m not sure if you can feel it, Lumpy, but fuck me if I do. There is some thick tension between us, so explosive and raw. Think it might be sexua

Sarah pov“K-kill?” I barely stutter the word. Am I really that delusional to try and kill my own child? The thing inside my head said it tried to eat my baby, but my stupid self decided to take it as a joke more than an actual fact. “Yes, you tried to kill her. Sarah, I get that this is hard to hear, but you must understand the severity of this situation. Lenox had never shifted in front of his family, but he released Atlas to save the child. I understand that it is hard for you to grasp what that means, so I will only say that it’s a big thing for a hellcat to appear.” Than explains. “How do I get it out?” I blurt the question, desperate to fix this. All I need is to get rid of the voice, wait until my loved ones return and we can build our life just how we dreamed it would be. “How do you get out what? Be more specific,” Than mutters. I can hear the reluctance in his voice. The demon knows what I am asking for, it’s just that he doesn’t want to give me the answers. Demons don’t

Lenox pov“God fucking damn it!” I hiss and instantly slap myself. I shouldn’t use God's name in vain since that thing is inside my Optimus. The bulky old man manages to get out of the weird trance state and steps closer, reaching his hand for me. Is this the right moment to point out that I’m kind of on a ‘no-no’ basis with germs? I get dirty all of the time, but there is a difference between blood germs and something other people carry around. After all, I have no idea where those hands have been before they touched me, right?“You are real. It’s actually you,” the dude’s voice trembles a little. “So are unicorns, but it’s not like anyone believes me. Listen, pal, this is all fun and games, but I already wasted too much time on the spoon snatching guy. My brother really needs my assistance about a week ago.” As I bend down to fetch my spoon, I keep a close eye on the man. Lately, I have been running into too many people all the damn time, so it wouldn’t surprise me if all of the

Luka pov“Yeah, sounds gross, doesn’t it? Like an ass worm, but I think it isn’t quite in her ass because apparently it can control her. But no biggie, Than and Laz are dealing with that issue and everything should be all fine when we return home.” Lenox announces, rather happy. I’m about to question him, but clearly, he has more to add. “Dude, I miss a proper dinner. I think my stomach has started eating itself and I will start losing my good bits soon if I don’t get a nice steak meal anytime soon.” He groans. Honestly, I think he wants to change the topic. Why? I have no idea, but here we are. “I get that you’re hungry, we’re in the same boat, brother. But if we can, it would be better if we returned to that whole worm and Sarah situation.” I try to press the topic I’m most interested in. Lenox’ body tenses even as he keeps striding, but not a word leaves him. I worry my brother has something awful in his mind. Lenox isn’t one to give me all the details if he believes that the s
