ORION's Elixir (Book 1: The Elixir Series)

Kith's PoV

After a long and bloody day, we decided to stay in our mansion. Cc go straight to the kitchen, "I'll make some pasta," 

"Yum!" Zy, Boy, Jer, and I said at the same time and
we followed her to the kitchen to wait there.

We are now at the dining table and are about to eat.

Zy called me and said, "Kith, I think you have something to tell us,"

"Only if you're ready to talk," Boy said.

"Ah, guys, you can take the night off we'll just clean this after. Thank you," Jer told the helpers and they went out of the mansion to go to their quarters.

"I know you're all pissed at me, but yes, I have something to tell," I said.

"Is this about that girlfriend of yours?" Jer asked

Cc served the pasta, "Can we eat first before I lose my appetite talking about that girl and her family?"

We all nodded and eat in silence. After we finished eating...

"About Shiena, yes we're together," I told them.

"Are you out of your mind?! How about Kali? I thought you have feelings for her?" Cc said raising her voice.

"Mind your tone, Cc. Don't forget that I'm still the eldest here," I said reprimanding her.

"Yeah? Then start acting like one," Cc argued back.

"Uh-oh, this means war," Zy whispered to Jer.

"Guys we don't have to fight. We're siblings, right?" Boy butted in.

"Let me finish first. No interruptions. No questions. Just listen, please?" I told them and they all nodded.

"I have to do that for your safety and Kali's," I started...

"Safety for what?" Zy asked me

I looked at him, "Callarse!" 

"Oh, shit! Sorry, I forgot," Zy said grinning. Boy laughed a bit and Zy just smirked at him.

"Can I continue?" I asked. They nodded so I continue...

"I hired Medicus to investigate and gather everything he can get about Shiena and her family. What they are up to and why they came back. And when he did, Medicus called me and told me that they are planning to ruin the gala and want to take Kali and any of you as their hostage to get money. That's why I allowed her to be with me to get some more information," I told them.

"Can we speak now, bro?" Zy asked me.

"Yeah," I answered and smile a bit.

"You carry this burden all by yourself to keep us safe. Thanks, big bro you're the best," Jer said.

"You don't have to though. We got our men to protect us and we got skills too you know," Cc said.

"I know. But I can't risk everyone's safety. I don't want what happened in the past to happen again. You lost your memories before and I can't still forgive myself for that," I told them.

"It's not your fault, bro, it's them. And we can fight them. I got the police, remember?" Zy said

"We understand that you're afraid that something might happen to us, but as I said, we're in this together. We fight as a whole," Boy said

"You move, we move. Right?" Jer said

"So what now? That bitch runoff," Cc said

"We can plan in case they attack again, put some more cops roving at the hospital, Zy," I said.
