Someone had been here, regardless of the fact that there wasn’t a scent. There were certain sprays and things to disguise a scent, but who was it? I was about to leave the kitchen when my stomach plummeted with dread.
Was it the killer? If so, why were they…?My thoughts died and my eyes went to the ceiling, my heart thumping. I ran from the kitchen straight up the stairs, fear consuming me as I rushed to Aunty Monica’s room.
Please be okay…
His Ugly Reality
Damon
“Let go of me, Nicholson!” Raven’s dad hissed.
Yeah, I don’t think so. Not when he gave shit like that to Raven.I had mind-linked Liam, who told me to bring him in. He fucking needed this.
Entering the headquarters, I dragged the growling and shouting Haru Jacobs to the room Liam was waiting in. I didn’t think addressing him as Mr Jacobs felt right anymore, especially after all the shit he’s clearly given Raven.
“If I were you, I’d stay quiet. I’m sure your reputation matters, and if you continue like this, the entire pack will know you’re here,” I growled icily, pushing open the door.
Liam was sitting on one of the two chairs, his legs up on the table, crossed at the ankles, playing with a small knife in his hand. He looked at us, his glare on Raven’s dad with a glint in his cold blue eyes.
“Nice of you to drop by. Do take a seat,” he said with a cold, mocking smirk.
“I wish to speak to Alpha Elijah! I am not going to let two boys make a mockery of me!” Jacobs growled.
Liam’s eyes flashed, and he motioned for me to put him in the chair. I shoved him into the seat, trying my best to remain calm. The way he made Raven feel, although she hid it well, was not fucking fair.
“The thing is, Haru, I’m the fucking Alpha, not Dad. So, before you try to act like an entitled dipshit, show respect,” Liam growled, suddenly flicking the knife across the table.
My eyes widened, and Mr Jacobs froze. The knife whizzed past his face, slicing his cheek in the process. He gasped. I saw a few strands of hair that fell to the ground before the knife impaled the far wall.
“Damn… I missed. So anyway, to what do I owe the fucking pleasure?” Liam remarked mockingly. We all knew he missed on purpose… sometimes I swear I didn’t recognise the man he had become.
Will you grab my knife?His voice came through the link, making me nod and go to grab it, frowning at how deeply it was lodged into the wall. I returned to the table and placed it down on the table. Our eyes met and I saw him frown slightly. He knew Raven had been with me… and I suddenly remembered our kiss.
Goddess that kiss… it was sweet, innocent, and beautiful, just like Raven. My heart skipped a beat when Liam looked at me, almost as if he knew what we had done. He took the knife and looked away, sneering. He scoffed and shook his head as if he wasn’t surprised. Did he know? Fuck, I hoped not. Shit, this was fucking messed up. We shouldn’t have to hide. I told her to pursue Liam. I needed to keep control of my emotions.
He turned back to Mr Jacobs, who I hoped knew that Liam was not someone to mess with.
“How about we start from the fucking top?” Liam suggested coldly.
Reaching into his pocket, he took out his phone and, after unlocking it, scrolled through the messages before he held up the phone, showing the texts he had sent Raven years ago.
“Did you have anything to do with these not getting to Raven?” Liam asked calmly. My eyes snapped to Mr Jacobs, who swallowed, his heart racing ever so slightly, giving us the answer.
Damn…
“Why?” I asked quietly.
“I haven’t seen those messages before,” he denied, his face pale.
“Lie,” Liam said coldly, flipping his leg onto the floor and spinning the knife in his fingers. “So, you stopped both Damon and me from seeing her on the excuse that she didn’t want to see us when she had no clue that we even came. You deleted my fucking messages, too! You knew I was her mate!”
“I di-didn’t!” Despite the fear that was coursing through him, Jacobs growled.
“Are you going to confess all your crimes, or shall I put you under Alpha command?” Liam asked coldly.
“I have done nothing wrong!”
“I don’t think Alpha command would even work. If he doesn’t truly believe he has done wrong, perhaps you need to ask him question by question,” I said, frowning.
