Chapter 13: Brotherly Love

Lucien sat with the others in the apartment they were holed up in. he had been so reluctant to leave Jane and the comfort of her bed but he knew they were still in danger and he was expected to lead them out of it.

He rifled through the papers one of his men had handed him and sighed,

' How could this happen?' raze said holding some gauze to a wound across his chest, Lucien had been relieved to see his old friend had survived the fight,

' He's a Corvinus if lycan blood was spilled in the chamber and one drop got to him it would be enough, he's an ancient raze' raze pulled the gauze away from his chest and frowned,

' What do you think he wants?'

' He wants his brother'

' William? But he was imprisoned for a reason, even by our standards now he could never be controlled' Lucien nodded,

' But Markus doesn't care about that raze, it's his brother and he's lived under Viktor's rules for so long, now he has a chance to rule'

' So how do we stop him?'

' I don't think we do'

' What do you mean? We cant let him unleash William on the world'

' Look at his trail raze, a bar fight were survivors claim a woman and a man engaged in a fight with Markus and Tanis dying after a few of his lycans were killed with death dealer weapons…I think he is chasing Selene and Michael'

' Why though…does he want to take Michael out because he could be a threat?'

' No…I cant be sure but I think it was Viktor that commissioned Selene's father to build the prison that houses William…he then slaughtered the family so Markus wouldn't be able to figure out where William was'

' But he kept her alive?'

' Yes…and now Markus sees her as his chance to get William back…Michael is of no importance to him'

' Could William even be alive after all these years?'

' He is the original raze…there's a strong chance he will be alive and just as strong and reckless as ever'.

Jane yawned and stared at the clock; she only had an hour left of her shift and then she could crawl home to her bed. She rubbed her face and tapped her pen against the paperwork that was slowly mounting up on her desk,

' Jane I know you finish soon but we've just had some old guy come in with a head injury and we're rushed off our feet down there can you just stitch his head and check him over please?' one of the nurses from accident and emergency pleaded,

' Yeah sure send him up' she heaved herself out of the chair and walked through to the ward to set up.

She walked into the cubicle to find the old man sitting on the bed. She pulled on some gloves and turned round,

' Ok I'm just going to clean this up…what's your name?' she said as she dabbed at the small cut,

' Alexander, what's yours?'

' I'm Jane, so how did this happen?'

' Big dog ran out in front of my car' she was aware that his eyes hadn't left her face for a second,

' That sounds awful'

' Oh no it's fine…you know what it's like to have a big dog run out in front of your car don't you Jane? ' She looked at him and wasn't sure whether to answer,

' It's ok Jane, I know about Lucien and what he is'

' How?'

' He descends from my family Jane…we really should talk and believe me that won't be necessary' he said smiling gently and lowering her hand that had been ready to start stitching his wound. A wound that was now disappearing before her eyes.
