Their Shattered Angel

Death zone

"I see that Ethan has a girl." Blake states through his clenched jaw, as we all look at his twin and Grace dancing happily to the rythme of the music. "He could have told me." I can see the annoyance for his twin in his eyes.

When Ethan decides to walk towards us with Grace, Elijah excuses himself to meet someone for business, because it's his duty as a leader. I don't think much of it, but give Grace an encouragement smile when she finds herself in front of my two scary brothers. To my surprise, she is more than comfortable with them throughout the conversation.

I smirk at how Ethan is around her. He is just so protective and caring, making sure she is fine. It's sweet.

I make my way out of there, when I see Gab randomly walking through the crowd, heading towards the bar. I catch up to him, a hand holding my dress so it wouldn't drag on the floor behind me as I slalom between the bodies. I grip my hand on his arm, making him spin around in less than a second, a murderous glare on his face. He softens his look, when he sees me before greeting me.

"Follow me Lia, I want you to meet someone." He says before walking towards his original destination. "You look beautiful by the way."

I compliment him back, his dark suit fitting him perfectly, and then I follow behind him. His tall figure blocks me from seeing who he wants me to meet, so I walk a little to the side and catch a glimpse of the mystery person . My lips tugs upwards and I push a smiling Gab to the side, so I could reach the girl I first met a couple of months back.

"Hi girl !" Thunder squeals, when she sees me and brings her arms around me to bring me closer. I haven't seen this brunette girl since the day Jace "died", because she is appart of his close circle of the gang. She managed to get in his Gang thanks to her snipper skills. I hung out with her at Raven mansion when Jace was busy with work and now here I find her at this ball.

I watch as Gab's hand sneaks around her waist and that's when it clics. They are freaking together ! I knew it ! It must have been since day one, because I could already smell the sexual tension between the two of them when they were in a room together.

"Since when !?" I shoot unable to wait to get the answer to my question, which makes them laugh.

"A few months Mags." Thunder says and I give a little encouragement punch to Gab who immediately scolds me for it. I tell them how happy I am for them and we continue chatting for a little while, catching up. Thunder can't help herself, but to ask thousand questions about my brother, which describes her person perfectly. Always so curious about everything, but still making sure I am safe. I missed her, I can't deny that.

We decide to sit down at a table, so we wouldn't bother the guests at the bar and my eyes catch the one of Leo across the room, who eyes me carefully to make sure I am in good hands. He nods his head, when I point towards Gab to say that I am well.

Suddenly, a heavy door slams close, making a loud sound echo through the room and my eyes immediately search in panic of the origine of the tantrum. All heads seem to turn towards the same place, which is the entry hall. Gasps can be distinguished through the music that hasn't stop playing from the orchestra and I wonder what the Hell is going on. I look at my brothers, who all seem to wear a cold expression, but it quickly disappears when they get to see who just walked through the door.

Seconds later, I find myself breathing out the air I was holding, when I see the one and only Jace Reed, looking around the room with a furious glare. He is wearing a slick black suit, his guns peaking out of every pocket, which is a message towards everyone around him and I suddenly get angry at how careless he can be in a room full of people that come from mafia. They think he is fucking dead, and he finds it funny to put in a whole show ?!
