Angel POV.
After a couple more minutes, I heard Evelyn calling out saying that she was leaving, I felt stupid, I should have gone out when she was around, so she’d keep me safe from them, but instead, I stayed in and she left without me.
“Angel, are you ready to come out?” Logan calls for me.
“No, I’m staying in the closet,” I call out to him.
“We won’t mind if you’re gay,” Hunter says with a chuckle visible in his voice.
“I was too shy to tell you, but guys, I’m straight, and I don’t think I’m sexual,” I call out to them and they both laugh at me.
“Can you be mad at us outside of our office? I need to make a call,” Logan says and I stomp out angrily looking at him with a very evil glare.
“I’ll be mad wherever I wanna be,” I say in a firm voice.
“Of course, she will Logan, this is her house now, and she can be mad at you everywhere, now if you excuse us, we’ll both be mad at you outside,” Hunter says offering me a hand, and I laughed, I couldn’t help but laugh, I took his hand and we both went outside to be mad at Logan.
“Take your time being mad, I need to do a call, that wasn’t a joke,” Logan says going inside the office.
“Baby, I need you to make a deal with me,” Hunter says and I look at him with a raised brow.
“Yeah?” I say looking at him.
“You need to keep him busy, like completely busy, don’t let him go with this thing,” he begs me.
“What’s the thing?” I asked him, and why he needed me to keep him busy.
“He’s trying to send me back to school, I’m too old for school,” he whined and I laughed.
“You are too old,” I agree with a giggle.
“Are you making fun of me?” he asks me with a raised brow at me.
“Of you, no, but maybe your age,” I say with a giggle.
“Weren’t you mad? Come on, I want to show you the outside,” he says dragging toward the backyard, I didn’t see or notice they had a sandbox there before, not until now, they also had a swing, it was calling my name, but I’m mad at them.
“Why didn’t you show this before?” I ask him.
“It was part of the tour, but you were too mad to hear us, or look with us,” he says with a shrug.
“Ohh… okay,” I say blushing, I haven’t been giving this whole thing a real chance, I’ve only been throwing fits since the day I came here.
“It’s okay, the past is in the past, and we gotta look at the future,” he says.
“I’m sorry for throwing a fit, or two,” I say the blushing still there on my face.
“You didn’t throw a fit, you threw a tantrum,” he corrected me and I looked at him with a glare.
“I hate you,” I say not meaning the words, I was giving them a chance, I decided to give them a chance.
“I love you too sweets, do you want to try playing?” he says pointing to the swing.
“Okay,” I agree, only to play on the swings and not to entertain him.
“Take a seat,” he said and I did do that, he started to push me slowly first, but he hardly pushed me, and for a vampire, I knew that he could push me higher and it would be more fun.
“Hunter,” I say in a groan.
“Yeah?” he says still pushing me very slightly on the swing, my feet were hardly moving off the ground.
“Aren’t you a big bad vampire?” I remind him.
“I am, is something wrong? Do you need me to get someone dealt with?” he asks me and I giggled.
“Are you into the mafia or something?” I ask him with a giggle.
“I’m the mafia, now tell me who do you dealt with,” he says again and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud, I laughed from all my heart at him.
“Hunter, you’re in the police, aren’t you a detective?” I remind him.
“I’m one, but for my family, I’ll break the rules,” he says making me smile, I loved feeling safe and protected by a badass vampire.
“Hunter, you badass vampire, can you push me harder?” I ask him turning to him with puppy eyes.
“I don’t want to scare you,” he says.
“You’re scaring me with how boring this is,” I whined.
“Angel, do you want to go back in and spend time with Logan, he’d be more than happy to keep you inside, maybe tell you all about his new project,” he says.
“I thought you two were going to be my daddies, not my grandfather,” I say with a fake gasp.
“We’d be your daddies, how about you try being nice?” he offers.
“Nice? Never,” I answer him with a shrug.
“Please, amuse me and try,” he says and I decided to try it, I haven’t tried being nice, not yet, maybe I should do what Evelyn said and try, it’ll make me feel better.
“Daddy Hunter, can you push me higher, old vampire,” I say, trying to be nice, but unable to skip the last part, teasing him was the best part of talking to him.
“Good job, but skip the insult,” he says pushing me higher, just a tiny bit, but it was good better than nothing.
“Higher please!” I begged him and he did, he pushed me higher and I smiled, and the smile turned into a giggle, I enjoyed this so much, I loved it.
“Higher, Higher! Daddy,” I say, it seems to be the magical word to get him to push me higher, and it sounds nice on my tongue, Evelyn was right again, she knew what she was talking about.
“Hunter! She’s gonna fall! what are you doing,” We heard Logan’s voice and we both turned to face him, what a fun killer.
“We’re playing Logan,” Hunter says looking at him with a glare.
“She’s a baby, this isn’t safe,” he says.
“Logan, I’m not a baby, I’m a big girl, ask daddy Hunter, I’m older than you know,” I say with a big pout on my face.
“You got her calling you daddy,” Logan says glaring at Logan now.
“We bonded,” Hunter answered him with a shrug.
“How did you two do it? I want in,” Logan says, they both want me to give them some time of my day, I can’t help but enjoy their attention.
“He swore his loyalty to me,” I answer Logan enjoying being their princess for now.
“Do I get on my knee and swear?” Logan asked me and I shared a look with Hunter who nodded giving me the go-ahead.
“It’s more of a blood pack,” Hunter says with a shrug.
“Coming into the mafia isn’t that easy,” I inform him.
“It’s mafia now? I thought it was a family,” Logan says.
“Mafia is the family,” I assure him.
“She’s right, we’re a big family around here, and the mafia is the family,” Hunter says.
“And what’s this family called? Because I thought we were the Black family,” Logan says.
“We’re the Vitale family,” I answer him, it’s a name that I always liked, if I had my call, it’d be my family name instead.
“I love the name, very Italian,” Logan answered me.
“We’re Russain,” I say with a shrug, I wasn’t, or maybe I was, I had no idea what my origins were before the whole war.
“Nice meeting you, can I now be part of the family?” Logan asks.
“You haven’t sworn loyalty yet,” I answer him.
“I swear to be on your side, to be nice to you and take good care of you, My Angel,” Logan says and it doesn’t feel like he was joking, it feels like he was talking for real, he meant those words, he meant it for real.
“You’re part of our family now,” I say allowing Logan into the family, feeling like I made the correct choice here.
“Thank you, do I get a title or is it just Hunter?” he asks me next.
“You know we can tease him and call him mommy,” Hunter whispered in my ear making me giggle out loud, that sounded like a great option, more ways to tease him.
“Hunter, you’re on my side or hers?” Logan asks.
“I’m the boss, everyone is on my side,” I remind Logan.
“Fine, I’m on your side, now please stop pushing her that hard, I don’t want her to fall,” Logan says like a worried mother, Hunter had a point.
“I’m not gonna fall,” I assure Mommy hen.
“Yes you would, you’re too small to be on the swing, we should have installed the baby swings,” he says and now he has officially won the title of Mommy-hen.
“I’m not a baby,” I say with a big pout.
“As you once said, mommy, pick your fights, I’m here with her, she’s not going to fall,” Hunter assures him.
“Don’t encourage her,” Logan scolds his mate.
“I don’t need encouragement, I told you we could take him down, but now he’s my ally, you lost the deal,” I say with a shrug.
“My Angel, I’m very happy you’re enjoying your time here, but we’re not a real mafia and even if we are, you’re not going to be the one in charge,” Logan says.
“Actually Logan, I think she’ll be the one starting the mafia,” Hunter says.
“Maybe in a couple of years, well actually in a couple of hundred years and then you can start your own mafia,” Logan says.
In a couple hundred years? Does this mean that I’m going to be a vampire one day? Will they change me? I wasn’t sure if I was happy or scared of that, but I was excited, this is going to be my new life, I should be happy about it, right? And I’m gonna be a mafia boss, very soon, in just a couple hundred years, I couldn’t wait.
