Nikolai POV.
I messed up but not with my two girls, they’d kick my bum and tell me that I’m wrong, how did I deserve that, but it’s still my mistake, it’s still my fault. We all lost our baby due to me, due to my war, I should have never hidden things from them, if I didn’t do that, they would have known, Devil would have never to that meeting and got herself hurt.
“Devil the doctor says you need bedrest, after what…after what happened” I say chocking on my own words, I can’t say the word, it’s my fault, all of this is mine.
“It happened, it’s over Nikolai, it wasn’t meant to happen” she says but her voice was breaking even my little demon can’t take it, even demons have their own pain, hurt and dreams.
“Little demon…I…” I say not having any word to say, Elle’s hold on my hand get tighter, I offered my free hand to Devil, she took it, making me feel better now, she’s still accepting my touch, my hold to her.
“I want my revenge Nikolai” she says, I agree with her, I want my revenge too, when we made it there everyone was gone, it was just Devil bloodied, in pain, and on the verge of death. I ran toward her, I picked her up and ran back toward the car holding her, carrying her all bloody in my arms getting blood all over my clothes but I didn’t care at all.
When we made it to the hospital they took her away, her injuries are deadly, she have a concussion, bruised ribs, and the worse part was the bleeding, the bleeding that were the sign of her miscarriage. That means that she was pregnant, we could have had a baby, one that would be ours, mine, hers, Elle’s, he or she would be the heir of my family, but what heir would he or she be if I ended up dying during the war.
It broke my heart, it made me cry, it made me want to scream, but above it all, I wanted my revenge, I needed my revenge, when Devil said that she wants her revenge too, I agreed. Even the innocent Elle wanted revenge, everyone wanted the revenge, but on whom.
“Little demon…love…” I say calling her, I need to know who it was, who’s the one who dared put a finger on my girls, I’m not allowing her to get back in the danger zone, I’ll never allow her to be hurt, not ever again.
“Yes?” she answer her voice sounding tired, I should leave her to rest, I should leave and let her just rest until she got better, but I need the information, I need to know whom it is I’m going to have to kill in revenge for touching what’s mine, in revenge for killing our unborn baby.
“Who was it Devil? Tell me who that was?” I ask her, I need to know.
“I’m not telling you…not until you promise to let me get out there and kill them with my own hands” she says trying to growl, but with her injuries, she sound like a kitten and not the tiger she wants to sound like.
“Who was it Devil, give me a name” I say wanting, needing to know but she shook her head no again, she’s giving me hard time, she won’t tell me who it was until she can get revenge.
“I promise you, tell who that is, and you’ll have your revenge little demon, but you have to tell me now” I say promising her the revenge she deserves, I know I would want that too, it’s only fair.
“I want revenge too” Elle says sounding harsher than I ever heard her before but she’s not getting her wish, not today I won’t taint her with that kind of pain or blood.
“Settle down kitten” I say to Elle who just huffs, and puffs and keep holding on to Devil.
“I’m gonna keep the kitten Nikolai, I need some love” Devil says holding her closer to her, the little kitten didn’t mind the hug.
“What about me?” I ask them seeing them just hugging now.
“Go get us someone to torture” Devil says making me chuckle at her, I would do that but I first have to know who I should be bringing for them.
“And who might that be? Little demon, who hurt you?” I ask her trying to hold it together, I have to be strong for them both.
“Should we talk? In front of the tiger?” she says meaning the kitten, I know we shouldn’t talk in front of her, but we have to, she needs to know things, I’m not hiding things from her anymore.
“Talk, I’m a tiger, I can take it” Elle says answering for me.
“We’ll all read it in her next story” Devil warn me, that would happen, but we all love her stories, the do help sometimes.
“Hey! I need inspo, I’m gonna be a best seller someday” she warns us.
“Sure you would be kitten” I say, nodding for Devil to continue who was it I should be hunting.
“It’s not just them, there’s a bigger player, you were right” Devil says taking a breath, I wanted her to go slowly, Elle tried to hold her hand telling her it’s okay, she should take her time.
“Who’s the bigger player?” I ask, she just shake her head, she doesn’t know either.
“Someone who calls you Russian” she says, but that means what I think she means, if she really did figure it out, she means the pure blood, they’ve been working with the Irish the whole time.
“The pure blood” I say out loud, Elle was just looking at us like we are aliens, I agree with her, but we prefer to keep the tiger a bit in the dark.
“They aren’t alone” she says.
“The Irish?” I ask knowing it’s true.
“Yes, and Aneglo” she says, the Angelo? My stupid cousin the one who’s been warning me the whole time, don’t fight with the Irish, don’t let Devil in, he was warning me all the time, he was getting ready for the war that I had no idea it’s going.
“You’ll have your revenge Devil, I promise you that, you have my word” I promise her that, I’m not letting this pass away.
“I want to go home Nikolai” she says demanding to leave the hospital, I agree with her, I wouldn’t want to stay in the hospital either.
“I’ll get you out as soon as the doctor say you’re good to go” I promise again but she still whines not wanting to stay here any longer.
“I want to stay with her too” Elle demands.
“Fine, keep her company little one, make sure she’d rest until I’m back” I say kissing both of their heads, getting ready to leave the hospital.
“We’re waiting for you Nikolai, don’t die” Devil reminds me not to die, I just smile back at her, I’ll make sure not to die.
“I’ll be back girls” I say promising them, before I leave the hospital, calling to Marco, we need to find Angelo, now! This ends tonight, this war isn’t going any longer, they touched the wrong person, they touched what’s mine, and they’ll regret it!
“How are we going to even find him boss?” Marco asks, he’s been off the radar lately.
“We’ll just call” I say, gaining a look that says I lost my mind here, maybe I did.
