Author’s Pov
“You bastards!” Calix screamed, hurling a wine glass in the direction of his gang as they dodged it, fixing their eyes on the floor to avoid it meeting with Calix’s blazing ones.
“You had one job. She was all yours. Her driving skills are not that good, but still, you let her slip away from your hands?!”
Enraged, he pulled his hair from their roots, yelling in agony before pulling out a pistol to shoot one of his men.
Fear gripped the other as they watched one of them fall lifeless, jerking in the pool of hus blood before giving up the ghost.
“I promised you a mysterious death if you don’t deliver her to me, right? I won’t hesitate to give it to you,” he smirked, shooting more than 5 men, blowing their brains out before punching the wall.
“You want to ruin my life. Do you know how long I’ve built this? I was groomed to take over from my father all my life and as a bastard child, I want to make him proud of me, for once, but here you are, messing it up for me!” He screamed loudly in one of the men’s ears before shutting him in his feet.
Blood gushed out as the man dropped on the floor, whimpering painfully as he grabbed his injured feet.
“How dare your filthy blood stain my shoes?!” Calix growled before blowing his brains out.
“I will not let you ruin my life!”
He paced the room, raging like a savage beast as the rest of his men trembled, afraid of who his next victim would be.
They had no choice. Working for Calix was like signing one’s desth warrant. No one knew if he would drop dead in the next minute. Calix killed for fun.
“Darling…did they get her yet?” A lady squeaks was heard as she rushed into the room, throwing her arms around Calix before rubbing his chest through the thick fabric.
Her joyous face switched into sadness as she withdrew from Calix’s rigid body, cupping his rough face in her palm and shooting him an exaggerated, concerned look.
“Baby, what happened?” She purred, releasing crying sounds as she pouted her lips.
“This bastards lost them again!” He growled, hovering the room restlessly with his hand on his chin as thoughts rammed his head.
“They were so close. That son of a bitch saved them! I hate that guy. I promise him a slow and miserable death for making this job slow for me!”
“Right from the first day, he kept saving her, making it difficult for us. I want to kill him with my bare hands!” He snapped, gritting his teeth with his eyes widened as he demonstrated his actions before punching his fist on the wall again.
“Fuck! Today is the last day!” The lady gasped, narrowing her eyes as she began to drown in her thoughts.
“That’s the fucking part. She will leave because here isn’t safe anymore. If we miss her this time, we will miss her forever and my opportunity to get to the top will be taken, forever!” He hurled on top of his lungs again, baring his teeth as molten anger flooded his veins.
The woman placed her hand on his shoulder in a calming way, running his tensed muscled as if trying to make him relaxed.
“She will be yours,” she announced with a devilish smile on her face.
“Really?” Calix’s breath hitched as his eyes sparked with hope. “But you have only a couple of hours before she leaves.”
“Leave it to me. If you promise to make me your Luna after taking over the Blackwood pack and giving me all I want, I swear on my late parents’ grave that I will deliver Lilith Parker to you alive.”
“Then it is sealed. You have my word, Luna,”
*****
Lilith
I escaped being kidnapped narrowly again.
I couldn’t believe that after all these years, I was still a target to Calix and the rest of his gang.
It hurts that they will never rest or sleep until they’ve gotten me.
Nowhere was safe.
Maybe it was best I left this city.
But I was sure if I was around Alpha Casper, he would protect me with his life like he did last night.
My soul almost left my body after he dodged several bullets while trying to save us from the attack.
Taking over the wheel, swerved into the bush path, following an unknown location as he sped into the darkness, manoeuvering the car until our attackers lost track of us.
Liam and Rose were so terrified, they couldn’t sleep all night.
It was hell.
Thankfully, Alpha Casper spent the night in their room, assuring them that they were safe.
I was able to sleep, but the incident haunted me, making me scream as I jolted awake. What happened last night terrified me. I only saw it in movies.
Chatting with Daphne soothed me. Her reassuring words erased a bit of my fear. She promised to come over to the estate by dawn to check up on me and Liam.
What would I have done without her? She was my rock, my sister from another mother, my confidant, my best friend, my everything.
I couldn’t wait to see her.
Peeling my eyes open, I rolled over, stretching my hand to check my phone on the night stand.
My breath hitched I noted the time.
What have I done?!
