Alek's POV

I stared out into the city; the wind blew in my face as I ran across the rooftops of each building. I needed to blow off some steam from all the stress of Chloe and I,

"I think I'm in love with Brian" the phrase stuck in my head. What hurt the most was that I actually thought she liked me back. That was the most painful thing to hear and all I wanted was for me to forget it.

I slowed down and caught my breath, tears stung my eyes. I wiped them away and looked over the city and hadn't recognized where I was. My phone rang, 4 messages.

From Jasmine:

Can't believe it, I've been stood up.

From Amy:

Where are you? Chloe NEEDS you!

From Amy:

Chloe seriously needs you NOW!

From Amy:

Is Jasmine with you? I bet she'll help us!

I looked at all the texts. I knew that there was something off about Zane, I never trusted him and now he broke Jasmine's heart. 3 texts from Amy, God… what did she want now? Wait… Chloe's in trouble? Or is she just saying that to get me to talk to her? That was the last thing I wanted to do. I don't know… maybe she really was in trouble. I was about to ask Amy of where she was until I got a text from Valentina.

From Valentina:

Help.

My eyes widened. I rushed to the apartment, not thinking of what happened. I opened the door and saw Valentina and Jasmine on the floor, lying down in puddles of blood. My mouth hung open in shock, then I saw him.

Zane had the knife that stabbed Jasmine and the poison darts that paralyzed Valentina. Rage overcame me and I could feel my eyes changing and my claws coming out.

"I'm going to kill you," I sputtered out.

"Is that any way to treat your brother?" He replied. I felt like I've been hit in the gut, was Zane telling the truth? Or was he just trying to distract me? Either way he hurt my only true family and I had no problem with killing him.

I kicked him in the chest, knocking him back a few feet. He got up slowly, smirking as he pulled out one of his darts. I dodged it by an inch, almost killing me. I stumbled backwards as he walked towards me. Zane grabbed me by my shirt and threw me across the room. I was in an enormous amount of pain but I couldn't give up, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and attempted to get back up. But Zane pinned me to the ground and took out his knife. My heart started racing as the knife got closer and closer to my body.

"Any last words?" He asked, smirking. I said nothing. "Think about it this way, at least you'll see your family before you take your last breath."

"You're not my brother, you wouldn't do this if you were!" I retorted angrily.

"Oh, but that's where you're wrong. I would kill your family, in fact I did! And I will continue to kill everyone I'm supposed to including your Chloe? With none of her protectors with her, she'll be easy to kill." That's when Zane got to me. I was not going to let him get away with hurting my family and I especially couldn't let him hurt Chloe.

I pushed him off of me, causing him to drop the knife. I grabbed it and held Zane against the wall. I put the knife to his neck and killed him.

"Don't mess with my family" I shouted as I watched him collapse to the ground.

I ran over to Valentina and Jasmine, I checked their pulses and called the pride's medic. A group of mai's rushed into the apartment and tended to them, I prayed that they would be ok and shed a single tear as I ran to Chloe's house to check on her.
