Lux

All around me Elia’s men were pointing guns at me. I had no idea where everyone else of campus was at the moment but it was only us and my guys. All of them horrified and ready to kill. I was in the centre of it all, hands raised. Elia just smugly smiled at everyone.

‘Now Lux, we can do this the hard way or the easy way. You are coming with me dead or alive. It’s up to you.’

‘Elia, your fate is going to be worse than you ever imagined. You know who you’re crossing?’

Dosch voice sounded so low, so dangerous, that my hair on my arms stood up. She was fucking with the wrong group. As I glanced to my mates I saw so much power in my circle, she was seriously pissing of some dangerous motherfuckers with this play.

I was that important to her. I was in serious danger.

A couple of her armed guys came my way and all of my guys grunted profanities and started straining against the armed guards holding them back from me. They were putting in some serious effort. I just defiantly scowled at the conniving bitch. Setting up her own son to trap me. Her son’s mate.

One of them grabbed my arm and I headbutted him straight on his nose. Probably broke that. One point for me. Three of them were on me at once. One on each arm and the other one was going for my legs. I kicked and screamed. I was not going away like this. I would actually rather die. I’ve seen what had happened to the others in her experimental chambers on that footage from Dosch. I was not going there. Not ever.

I actually managed to get away until one of them punched me so hard in the stomach that I dry heaved on the ground as if I was never catching my breath ever again.

‘Motherfucker you are going to die for that!’ Ash screamed, voice hoarse. Jax had actually managed to get loose and they hit him so hard on the head that he remained stoneless on the cobblestones. I cried out for him. ‘Please don’t hurt them!’ I pleaded.

‘Than come with me Lux. We will fix you. You will not be a problem here any longer than you need to be.’

Oak growled at that. ‘The only fucking problem here is you.’

‘Careful Briareve, don’t lose that perfect mask of yours.’

I had never seen him this angry before. Oak was terrifying. Elia wasn’t the slightest bit bothered by it though.
