Lover Sacrificed - Chapter 17

Darius headed straight for his bedroom as soon as they got to the mansion. He was still hard as a rock and though maybe someone had got into their needing.

Except all the other brothers seemed fine.

Which had made the trip home quite awkward.

Maybe Penehlope had drugged herself and he was affected though her blood? He quickly showered, to get her smell off him and went back downstairs, wearing a large shirt to cover the front of his pants. No one needed to know he looked like he’d swallowed a jar of Viagra.

The twins Rehv and Qhuinn, Nalla’s little brothers were playing pool in the playroom and Zsadist and Bella were right outside it. They didn’t notice him and as he turned around to give them privacy, he couldn’t help but overhear them.

- Are you sure?

- John just texted me. She’s going into her needing now. Jhade is about to give her the drugs.

- Should we go?

- No, she wanted to go through it alone. We should respect that.

- Oh look at you being a great dad…

Darius didn’t hear anything else as the blood rushed to his head. Nalla had hit her needing. Which explained his raging hardon.

They were going to drug her.

No. Fucking.Way.

He wouldn’t allow it. Not when he knew how much she hated it. He had to be fast. Without raising suspicions.

Where could she be?

He walked down the stairs, slowly, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. He was almost out the door when Zsadist stopped him.

- Where do you think you’re going, little prince?

Darius bit his tongue.

- Just out for a ride.

- It’s your night off. And you’re alone.

- I just need to clear my head. I’m staying on brotherhood property. Don’t need a babysitter for that.

Zsadist looked at him suspiciously.

- No fighting.

- Not planning too.

Darius quickly walked out and got into his Land Rover. He said he was taking a ride so he needed his car, but he was running out of time. He drove until he knew he was out of sight from the cameras, got out of the car and dematerialized at Rehv’s camp.

The only place she could be.

He walked up to the main house and knocked. The Primale opened the door with a frown.

- Darius?

- Is Nalla here?

- Nalla? No I think she’s with Jhade. They left yesterday.

- Where are they!?

- I don’t know. Listen Darius, why don’t you go back to the mansion…

- Like hell.

He dematerialized to the tomb, trying to clear his head and think about where she could be.

Safe Place?

Not during her needing.

Where else?

The Commodore?

V wouldn’t allow it…

Dearest Scribe Virgin, the Brothers had dozens of properties scattered all around. He needed to find her.

He dematerialized from one place to the other getting more and more frustrated when he didn’t find her.

His phone started ringing and as he saw his father’s name, he knew the Primale must have told on him.

Oh well.

Suddenly, he remembered all the times his mom and dad had told him and his brother about when they had met. Before they had lived in the tomb mansion. Before his father had accepted his role as king.

He had lived somewhere else.

Darius closed his eyes as he dematerialized in front of a huge house.

816 Wallace Avenue

His grandfather Darius´ house.
