*** Liam’s P.O.V ***
“Cause of what?” Alan asked but I just shook my head. Seems like he doesn’t know that he is related to William. I don’t want to be the one to break the news to him so I don’t want to spoil the fun.
Before I could say anything, his inquisitive brother asked, “Who is Bridget?” I just glared at him and didn’t reply. He likes calling me Mr Wolfe so much so let’s see how he’ll get me to answer.
“We will talk about it tomorrow,” Alan answered and then we left.
I stretched my arms as I tossed on the bed. I feel so exhausted like I had been working all night. I frowned as I felt the sun rays shining brightly on my face. I know it’s that naughty Ella that’s pulling the curtain.
She likes doing things to piss me off. Without opening my eyes, I said, “Daniella! Close the curtains. It’s so bright… Aargh!!”
My words ended with a shout as she pulled the curtains well so they can even shine on my face more. I opened my eyes and sat up. I glared at her.
“What the heck!? I told you to close the curtains. Why do you always defy my orders!?,” I asked a little bit pissed off that my wonderful sleep had been ruined by her.
She glared at me and said,” I think you don’t want to leave the bed again. Is that your new love? It’s almost twelve noon and you are still sleeping.”
What!!! I yanked off the bed covers and rushed to the bathroom to freshen up. “Why didn’t you wake me up on time!?,” I shouted from the bathroom as I applied my favourite toothpaste to the brush.
“You were hugging your pillow tightly that I didn’t want to destroy that loving ambience,” She answered sarcastically. I frowned and didn’t even reply to her.
The next thing I heard shocked me to the core. “Jake’s been asking of you. He wants you to accompany him. They selected the first set of rogues they want to execute today and…”
I immediately spat out the paste in my mouth as I shrieked, “What!!!?”
I hurriedly rinsed my mouth without even brushing it well and then I dashed outside. Daniella looked at me apparently stunned by my reaction. I cleaned my face and without a word, I ran out of the room.
I rushed to William’sroom and met Jake there. Alan was also there. He was applying something to Bridget’s wounds. With the way he’s still acting calm, I am sure he is not aware of what is about to happen.
William and Jake looked at my dishevelled appearance. That was when I realized that I am still wearing my pyjamas.
“So all this time I have been looking for you, you were actually asleep in your cosy bed,” Jake said with a little bit of grievance but I don’t care about that now.
“What am I hearing about executing some of the rogues?” I asked straightforwardly. A loud crash rang out in the room and we all turned to look at Alan. The porcelain bowl in his hands fell down and shattered into pieces, the paste in it splashing all over.
I knew it… He didn’t know. “Sorry… It slipped,” He mumbled lowly as he bent down to pick up the glass pieces. He even cut himself. I rushed to him and immediately stopped him.
“Huh? What’s with the sudden affection?” Jake asked suspiciously. I looked at them and said, “Alpha, you can’t kill those rogues.” He glared at me and asked, “Why is that?”
“Cause then you will be no different from Jackson,” I answered. He looked puzzled. “Don’t you see the similarities? Alan and his twin brother are actually Alpha Adams's sons,” I answered.
Both William and Jake looked stunned. I gave off a smug smile feeling proud to be the one to find out first. “He is a twin?” William asked and I nodded.
His eyes turned teary and he asked again, “He is also Uncle Adam's son?” I nodded again and he actually cried. Alan looked confused. William rushed to him and pulled him into a warm hug.
“My mom will be so relieved. She was worried sick that she couldn’t keep the promise she kept to your mother. She lost her friend, and her brother and also ended up losing you two… Where have you been?” He cried. This is the first time I’m seeing Alpha cry.
Jake interrupted the happy moment and said, “Well then, I have to stop something real quick.” He dashed out of the room and I assume he is going to the courtyard. I just hope and pray that Jace is still safe.
Alan looked at William and then at Bridget. I know the look on his face. Like his heart is sinking. He realized what he has done. The first words that came out of his mouth were, “I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry too. If only I had captured that sick bastard on time, he wouldn’t have been able to try to ruin our family like this,” William said.
“I treated cousin-in-law so badly. I’m sorry cousin. I didn’t mean to cause any harm. I didn’t know what I was doing. I am sorry,” Alan said. I can see tears escaping his eyes too… Okay, this is getting emotional. Too emotional.
*** Sienna P.O.V ***
I walked into the kitchen grudgingly. I know my eyes must look like that of a panda now. It must be red and swollen. I couldn’t sleep last night and the tears didn’t stop too.
I walked to the fridge to fix something to eat. I have decided that after I dress up, I am leaving today. I am obviously unwanted here.
Just as I opened the fridge, the backdoor opened and I turned around. When I saw Jake, I was about to turn back when the man that followed him caught my eye.
Alan? Why is he dressed oddly and covered in… Is that blood?
