CHAPTER 69 & 70

By Naomi Cindy B.

He vomited blood before falling on his face.

Three days later when he woke up in the hospital, surrounded by his brothers and mother.

Immediately he opened his eyes, his first thought was running away.

He got down from the bed despite the slinging pains from his bandaged back.

He didn’t even try to wear shoes before starting to rush out.

“Where are you going?” Zade blocked him.

“Out of my way I need to get out of here!” Killian pushed him

“Father will get mad if he finds out. You barely survived the bullet of the masked trainer” Hardin said, showing him the bullet that was removed from his back.

Killian took it from him and folded it in his palm tightly.

“I think you should stay too. Father owns this city so no matter where you go, you’ll be found” Jordan said gently, and Killian looked back at Aurora.

She’s standing behind the kids, crying helplessly without a word.

She feels like the worse mother existing.

Killian shook his head in disappointment and dashed out of the ward.

The guards went after him immediately.

The fact that he’s not trained made his capture easier.

Killian was surrounded in front of the hospital, and he started peeing on himself in panic, shaking as he came to an halt.

Before he knew it, he was bundled on the shoulder of one of them, and he began crying bitterly again as he was taken into a wagon.

His voice almost seized cos he cried throughout the drive to the castle, and when they arrived, he was taken back to the training ground where Malachi and the masked trainer are waiting.

“You tried to escape your duty? How dare you!” Malachi slapped him, and Killian fell at his feet.

“I…I really don’t wanna be a… warrior….I…I can’t…

“Take him” Malachi ordered.

The guards bundled him again.

The masked trainer led the way, and they followed him behind till they arrived at a large plot on the property.

A grave has already been dug, and a really big coffin is beside it.

At the trainer’s order, Killian was forced into the coffin, and the oxygen machine was connected inside.

The mask was banded to his nose to keep him alive, and the coffin was closed.

His muffled cries could be heard as the coffin was lowered into the grave, and the grave was closed.

The guards left, but the mask trainer stayed, watching night and day.

Aurora begged without stop, but when it was getting too much, Malachi had her locked up in her room.

She could do nothing but cry and wail in her room everytime.

The brothers took over the job of begging, but Malachi closed his quarters door at their faces.

Jordan and Zade retreated, but Hardin continued begging in the open.

Sun and rain, he’d be there.

At the third day, Zade came back and forcefully pulled Hardin up.

“What!” Hardin threw his hands off, his lips so pale and his face sick.

“You’ll get yourself killed at this rate. Killian will not die yunno? Father said the oxygen in the coffin with him is enough to keep him alive for a week, and this is just the third day…. Maybe he really needs this to be strong, maybe father will leave him alone if he accepts his fate” Zade said.

“Punk!” Hardin landed a punch on Zade’s month, and Zade staggered.

“What? He needs this to be strong? Getting locked up in a coffin? Are you mad? He made it clear that he wants to paint canvases. Are you supporting father because you’ve always wanted to be the heir?” Hardin said furiously.

“You know that’s not true! ” Zade glared at him with bleeding lips.

“Lies!! ” Hardin yelled and almost punched him again, but Jordan appeared in tears.

“Boys! Boys stop! Please!”

“Tell Zade to stop talking shit then” Hardin muttered and left the two.

He ran all the way to the grave that night and knelt on the sand, placing his ear on it.

“Listen Killian, I know you can hear me! I know you’re the strongest among us and that is why father is so inclined to chosing you! Please stay alive!! Don’t give up ok? Stay well!!! ”

He wasn’t able to say more when the masked trainer appeared with his escort of guards, and they began dragging him away.

“Stay alive Killian, you hear me? Stay alive!!!” He kept screaming, his voice echoing in the woods till he went out of sight.

Killian’s darkness torture in the grave continued till the sixth day when Malachi ordered the opening of the grave.

Killian’s ribs and skeletal bones were already so obvious on his tummy, and he became so thin except on the head.

He escaped death narrowly, and there’s barely any blood nor water running through his system anymore.

He’s a living dead.

It was the masked man who brought him to the hospital himself to get him admitted.

He received blood and water at the same time, and the trainer stayed with him throughout… Only him.

“Are you ready to train now, or you want to go back into your grave? ” He asked under his mask.

“Show me your face, and I’ll answer you” Killian replied weakly.

He waited in confusion for a minute before lowering his mask, revealing his face.

Killian smiled sadly. “I’m guessing the G on your mask stands for your name. Gael? Gibson? Gabriel? ”

“Gabriel” he replied.

“Why did you come to the castle? Why did you agree to train me?” Killian asked, and he grinned.

“Everyone needs money. I have a family to take care of. A pregnant wife and a daughter” Gabriel replied, and Killian sat up with difficulty, facing him.

“I’ll train.” He smiled.

“Guess the grave lock worked after all… You’re back to your senses” Gabriel smiled.

“But your family will be my motivation” Killian continued, and Gabriel frowned confusedly.

“What do you …

“When I grow up, I’ll find the family you destroyed me for, and I’ll kill them, I mean your wife and daughter” Killian laughed like a psycho, and Gabriel stood.

“What are you saying?”

“I’ll find them no matter where they enter… I’ll end them, and I’ll enjoy it just the way you enjoyed stripping off my humanity. After killing them, I’ll end the service by killing you too” Killian smiled wider, and Gabriel swallowed.

Killian spent one month in the hospital before getting discharged, and immediately he got back to the castle, the first thing he did was making the bullet into a necklace.

He wore it on his neck in front of the mirror, but immediately he looked at the reflection of himself, he punched the mirror, and with a bleeding hand, he grabbed his punching gloves.

He was blank as he started walking out of the room, his aura darkening completely.

FLASHBACK ENDS*

Zinnia was already a crying mess, and her face turned deep red already as a result of the hotness.

She wants to talk, but she couldn’t open her mouth, so she just cried.

“While in the coffin for those six days, I thought about nothing but destruction. I even thought of killing my fúcking mother, i wanted to end everybody. I became what I hated the most, a devil. I chased darkness and hated light, my existence was like that till I saw you at the park that night. I hated the idea of you at first, but it only made me hate myself more so I embraced it, and i became obsessed. Listen I’ll kill your friends if they hurt you, I’ll fúcking do it. You’re the only thing i fúcking see, nothing more” he said all at once, and Zinnia felt her knees turning into jelly.

She almost fell on her own, but she held herself, crying harder as the density of his words hit her..

His childhood story, his hidden pains, his painful memories and words, everything formed a myriad of emotions inside her, and she took long five steps to him, hugging him so tight like it’s their last.

“I’m so sorry…I never knew you went through all these. I didn’t…I wasn’t… sensitive enough…I’m so sorry Cameo…I’m sorry” she hiccuped.

Killian wrapped his arms around her too, and she cried louder as he began stroking her hair.

“Don’t you ever shift away from my touch again…ever” he said, and she nodded.

“I won’t do it again…I promise” she sniffled again, and he brought his fingers to her pulse point to stroke.

She relaxed on him, and throughout her cries, he never let her go, and she’s thankful for that.

She needs him more than ever right now, and the fact that he stayed means a lot.

Hardin and the rest of the girls are watching from the door, and immediately they saw the scene, they shifted away with relieved looks on their faces.

“I’m fúcking glad” Hardin sighed.

“What next now?” Britney asked.

“Nothing, let’s just hope that Alice wakes up fast too, and that I find love as soon as possible” Priyanka replied, and they all began laughing.

“Why the laughter? I’m talking about my life here” Priyanka said seriously.

“We know, and we’ll include you in our prayers” Sunny grinned.

“She’s awake?” Bruno joined the queue.

“Yeah, but she’s with her big baby, so just stay here. Killian would eat you alive if you step in there” Britney said.

“Oops!” Bruno nodded.

“Aren’t you her seatmate? I swear Killian made background check on you already, and he was planning to come to your house tonight before this happened” Hardin laughed.

“Why?” Bruno blinked.

“To warn you to stay away from Zinn, and if you act inappropriately, he’d kill you” Hardin replied.

“What the fûck! Wait I’m just her friend! I’m harmless and…” Bruno gasped, holding his chest.

“Killian doesn’t care about that fact…stay away from his girl and live long” Hardin patted him and left.

He returned to Alice’s ward, but Alice didn’t wake up till the next morning.

No one was even with her when she woke, so she went straight to the rooftop, supporting herself with a walker though.

She stayed there and stared at the city view from there, looking embittered.

Three minutes later, she felt a presence beside herself.

She doesn’t need to turn, she recognizes the intimidating aura.

“Father” she said bitterly.

“I couldn’t visit you last night, there was too much to take care of at the organization” his firm voice came.

“I don’t care about the visit… just kill that girl for me. I made more research on her before stabbing her at the party, and I found out she’s Gabriel’s daughter. Is Gabriel not the person Killian hates most in the world?” She faced him.

Malachi kept his face straight.

“Jordan has his eyes on a girl too, i heard that one is the daughter of runaway criminals, clear her too. I don’t think I can share any of my brothers with anyone. I like them heartless and emotionless” she said, and Malachi smiled.

“You’re my real daughter…I should have made you my heiress. Alpha blood is flowing through you” he stroked her hair, and she snickered.

ALPHA FOUR : CHAPTERS 1 – THE END

COTTAGE, 10AM*

Killian carried Zinnia in his arms out of the car, and the accompanying guards closed the door after them.

“I can actually walk” she said, wrapping her arms on his neck.

He said nothing, so she just rested her head on his chest as he took her inside the guarded building.

She missed the smell of this place already, and she made sure to inhale so much till they got to his room, and he dropped her gently on the bed.

Her eyes caught the canvas painting by the second wall, and when she remembered she actually saw it here on her first day inside this bedroom, she stood and walked slowly to it.

“It’s beautiful” she touched it and faced him.

He came behind her, his eyes glued to her alone.

“You don’t even know what the paint means” he said.

“Isn’t it just nature?” She smiled, resting her body on him.

“Nah, if you look at it from an angle, you’ll see what I really painted inside…dummy” he replied.

“What angle? Tell me” she whined.

“Adorable” he poked her nose, and she laughed.

“Wait…the closet door is open” she suddenly noticed and went for it, but her eyes widened at what she came across immediately.

The closet is not only housing his clothes, there are new female wears included now.

Female shoes and several fluffy slippers, even uniforms and night wears, different underwear brands and accessories, all designer items.

“What’s all these? Gosh! Geez!!! Cam!!!” She screamed, running in to start checking them out.

Within one minute, she scattered everything, screaming like a kid as she unboxed.

Killian just stood by the door, watching her in awe.

Seeing her mad, surprised or shocked…those three are his favorite views of her, so he’s having the time of his life right now.

“Cameo!!” She whined, running back to jump on him.

She wrapped her legs on his waist and kissed his ear like she does whenever he surprises her.

“When did you prepare all these?” She giggled.

“After you left yesterday” he replied, and she kissed his ear again.

“Aww! You’re so sweet!”

“I’m sweet? That’s new” he grimaced.

“C’mon, get used to it! What should I do for you?” She winked.

“Blowjob” he replied unfiltered.

“Eh…if you’re to be anywhere in the world right now, where would that be?” She asked.

“Inside you, little flower” he replied seriously, and she can’t believe her nîpples hardened at those raw words.

She could feel the heat under herself.

“I can smell your arousal” he whispered as he started walking out of the room.

“Not now, I had surgery last night!” She quickly replied, and he spanked her arse.

“Cameo!” She laughed, biting his ear, and he spanked again.

“Ouch!!”

BRUNO’S PLACE, 5pm*

Vivian was in when Bruno returned from school.

He met her staring into space on the couch, and he only just settled beside her.

“Don’t you think we should tell Zinn the truth?” He said.

“About her father, or her mother?” Vivian asked.

“The two” he faced her.

“When the time comes, it’ll be done. We should cook” she replied.

“I’ll get groceries shopping done… Twenty minutes” he stood and rushed out after getting his car keys.

He was about to enter his car when he inhaled nicotine, and he traced it to the back of the car only to see Alyssa there, smoking.

“Alyssa?” His eyes widened.

“Sorry I’m good at stalking like my brothers…. I followed you home” she waved, and he sighed.

“Where are you going? Let’s leave together” she winked, hanging a cigar behind her ear.

He started laughing before he knew it.

“What’s funny?” She blinked.

He went closer and snatched the cigar on her lips away, then the one behind her ear.

“Let’s go” he smiled, and she grinned before getting in the car with him.

ALPHA FOUR : CHAPTERS 1 – THE END

6PM, KAREN’S MANSION*

It’s raining again, and the downpour is really heavy too.

Karen just finished consuming dinner, and she went upstairs to get her assignments done, but immediately she took her backpack, a picture fell from it.

She picked it up from the ground, and tears welled up in her eyes immediately.

It’s a baby picture of her and her runaway parents.

Her tears fell on it, but she quickly wiped them when the doorbell rang downstairs.

She rushed to go get it, and she gasped when she saw Jordan waiting there, completely drenched by the rainwater.

“Jordan!” She covered her mouth in shock.

“I think I’ve never been a good brother to Killian… I’ve never truly understood him like I should…I suddenly feel guilty” he said, and she released her own tears too.

He came in, and she shut the door before hugging him despite his wetness.

“I miss my parents too…I suddenly miss them” she said, and he smiled sadly before hugging her back.

“Glad i came here”

ALPHA FOUR : CHAPTERS 1 – THE END

COTTAGE*

Killian and Zinnia took refuge in the living room, cuddling warmly as the rain poured heavily on the roof.

An Italian movie (The Tearsmith) is ongoing on the TV, and a bowl of popsicles and sweet snacks is right beside them, all for Zinnia.

Killian hates sweet things.

“You’re not saying anything about the movie” she said.

She’s sandwiched on his laps, and a really thick duvet is covering her there.

“I’m only watching for you, I don’t do movies” he replied flatly, and she made faces.

“Are you gonna cry again?” He brought his face closer.

“You’re sick! Seriously!” She laughed, hitting his chest playfully.

“Do you realize you love hitting people whenever you’re laughing?” He said.

“Do you hate it?” She asked.

“I love when you hit me” he replied, and she turned serious.

“And?”

“When you moan my name, loudly” he replied, sliding his hand under her boy shorts to rub her damp folds.

“And how you’re always so readily wet for me” he whispered, and she inched closer with a slow moan.

“And?”

His icy gaze devoured her face, and he brought his hand to her cheeks to stroke sensually before tracing down to her lips.

He slowly inserted his thumb into her mouth, dipping it all the way to her throat…

She gagged on it, and he withdrew it before starting to thrust in and out of her mouth, fúcking her mouth with the thumb.

“When you smile… it’s therapeutic for me, and your voice… it’s like water bubbling from a silver jar. I could listen to you talk all day. When you get mad, your eyes shrink and you look like a mama bear, I love seeing you mad. You’re cute while eating too. You’re a slow eater and you can’t handle spicy things, but it’s fun watching you blow your mouth while eating. When you’re asleep, i hate sleeping, i prefer watching you sleep and hearing how you moan in your sleep, and you should see the look on your face when i got you flowers… you’re a fúcking centerpiece, a ten on ten….Mine to fûck, to corrupt, to kiss, to own. I’d rather be a beast for you than become a man who has to survive without you… Little flower” he said without halting. and tears already filled her eyes.

He slowly brought his thumb out of her mouth.

“Oh… Cameo.Why haven’t you said any of these before” she sniffled emotionally.

He kept looking at her, his eyes still so empty even after the words he just said.

She held his face, and his eyes darkened hotly as she rubbed his lips.

“I love you so much, Cameo” she whispered, and she saw a twitch in his left eye.

“You don’t have to say it back right now” She sniffled, getting more emotional.

“You do?” He said, trying to hide his shock.

“Mmm-mm” she nodded.

“There’s no going back. You can’t take back your words” he said.

“I’m all yours, and you’re all mine” she smiled despite her tears, and for the first time, she witnessed it.

Killian’s thin lips spread into a ridiculously bright smile, and her heart raced athletically immediately she saw that.

It’s so beautiful.

“I love you” she said again, feeling her head turning underwater.

Is this what “crazy in love” feels like? She’s going insane for this guy.

Breaths left her lungs when he caged his lips to her mouth in a vertigo-inducing kiss, and she lost her damn mind.
