All Chapters of Drengr: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

“Charlie, I’m not going to kill you,” I said. His eye caught the movement and he turned toward the open-plan area. Kiran stood up and looked at me as I smiled at him. He took a cloth from the scullery and walked toward Malachi as he wiped the blood away.“This isn’t possible. I saw you shoot him,” Joshua said as he stood up from the table. They were freaked out and it wouldn’t end just yet. Five minutes after Kiran got up, Malachi opened his eyes and sat upright.“That last one stung a little,” Malachi said and stood up. Kiran threw the wet cloth over to him and he started wiping the blood away and walked over to Jessica. He kissed her on the cheek as she gave him a look. “Morning.”“Don’t forget the blood on the floor or Adara will make you clean the whole house,” Jessica said to him.“You all know I have a no bleeding in the house rule,” Adara said as she came down the stairs and surveyed the damage.“Okay, I’m freaking out a little. They were both shot and there’s nothing, no bull

Peter stood up and walked right past us and looked out into the hallway. There was nobody there. He closed the door again and pushed against it to make sure it was closed and walked back to his desk.“Stay hidden,” I said to Kiran and he nodded. I walked over to Peter’s desk and sat down on the chair facing him. He was busy making notes, probably noting down Malachi and Kiran’s deaths. I felt nothing for the man I once revered as I sat watching him. I took the hood of the cloak off and inhaled.“Hello, Peter,” I said and his face paled when he looked up and saw me sitting across from him.“No, it’s impossible. You’re dead,” he said.“Yeah, that’s the problem, Peter. You tried to kill me.” I took the Jericho from the holster and put it down on my lap.“I don’t–”“Call Lynda to join us,” I said and he looked at me.“How did you get in here?” he asked me.“That’s my little secret. Call Lynda,” I said and looked at the gun.Peter picked the phone up and dialed her number. “Lynda, I’d lik

“William.”He raised his head and started to cry as he jumped up and ran toward me. I grabbed him and picked him up as I hugged him. He had lost weight and I could feel his ribs through his shirt.“Please take me with you,” he whispered through his tears.“I’m never leaving you again, kid,” I said as I held him. “I promise.”We stood there for a long time, him crying and me holding him. He was twelve now, he had turned twelve three weeks earlier and I had sent him here. I had done this to him as much as they had. My intel had been bad and I knew I’d never forgive myself for putting him through this.“Put this on,” I said as I put him down on his feet and nudged the shopping bag. “I’ll be right outside your door.”“No! Please don’t leave me alone,” he said suddenly, afraid that I’d leave him.I turned around to give him some privacy to dress and I heard him take the clothes out of the bag. I looked up and saw his reflection in the mirror hanging on the door. I looked away quickly becau

I looked at Malachi like I was trying to read his mind. “Married, not married, there’s not much difference in how we’ll live or how we’ve been living.”“Wow, Levi, how can you be so stupid and smart at the same time?” Malachi asked me with a smile and shook his head. “She won’t feel part of this family until you marry her, until then she’ll feel like a guest in this house.”“She was married before. It didn’t end so well, I doubt she wants to walk that road again,” I said. “Besides, have you seen how bossy she is? She doesn’t feel like a guest here, she knows I love her.”“Then why not?” Malachi asked me. He had me there.“You were raised differently than I was. I’ve never seen the point. Nothing changes if we get married,” I said and Kiran gave me a look. A real ‘what the hell’ type of look.“She’s going to give birth to your child in roughly six months, trust me when I tell you she wants that security feeling of being married. It creates something sacred between the two of you, stren

“Am I cold and unfeeling?” I asked Adara.She wasn’t blunt like Jessica but she was open and honest and probably the nicest person in the Sinclair family.“Sometimes,” she said and smiled. “You are who you are, Levi, but at the core, you’re a good person. You care about the people closest to you, like William. What you did for him is…I don’t even have words. Then, at other times, you get that look in your eyes like you miss your old life.”“I do sometimes. It’s all I’ve ever known,” I said. “How do you do it? You married into this crazy family.”“It hasn’t always been easy, believe me, well you know, because Kiran gave you all his memories, but I love him enough to see it through every day. I didn’t have much of a life before I met Kiran, but every day with him is an adventure,” she said.“Charlotte doesn’t talk to me about everything and neither do I with her. I’m not always sure what she wants or what she’s thinking. I kind of just took her whole life away from her and dragged her a
