Ares's POV:
She wanted to return to the hotel after meeting Hayden.
I awoke to an empty bed. I noticed a message on my nightstand.
Hey, babe.
Went sight seeing and shopping with Blyke and Mom
-Aspen
women and shopping.
I immediately showered before heading downstairs to find Mr. Miles preparing breakfast. Sight I can't unsee.
"Mr Miles," I said.
He chuckles, "Call me Miles, we are family now."
He gave me a dish of English breakfast, and I sat down. I thanked him.
He made himself a plate as I ate in solitude. But when he dropped it, it broke into bits and food splattered all over the floor. His face turned nearly ghostly pale.
"Miles!" I yelled.
Before he delivered the words that sent my heart racing, he gave me a pitiful and terrified expression.
"Aspen and Isabella were in a car accident "
/\/\/\/\/\
We have been here for the last six hours, and we are still in the dark.
Flashback:
We jumped in my McLaren 720S and sped off to the hospital they were in after Miles told me. Fortunately, it wasn't a hospital for people, because else we would have had to do a lot of mind erasing.
Blyke came running as soon as we staggered through the doors, faltering on her words as panic surged through her body.
She sobs, "I-iii d-don't know wh-what ha-happened; we were on the way back when this suv came out of nowhere and attacked us."
"What did it look like?" I questioned her, trying to remain composed.
She said, "Black Hammer with some crest on one of the doors."
Shit. That brings us to everyone who was there last night.
"What did the crest look like?" Miles said.
She responds, "I don't know, but I recall seeing a German saying on it. Herrsche with eiserner Faust, niemals mit Liebe."
[Translation: Rule with an iron fist,never with love. (Greman) ]
/\/\/\/\/\
"Wolves," I roared.
"What?" Miles queried
I tsked, "That's the Anderson motto."
"We'll deal with them later" he murmured.
The surgeon arrived. "Reign family?"
"That's us," remarked Miles.
He tells us, "They just came out of surgery and are stable."
"Can we see them?" I ask
He leaves after saying, "The nurse will call you if they are awake."
"At least" I muttered.
/\/\/\/\/\
I've seen her lying in a hospital bed twice already. She was undoubtedly battling for her life this time.
Isabella is doing well, with only minor wounds. She shouted for Aspen when she first opened her eyes, as if she were reliving the accident.
At least two days had passed after the incident. after my last meal. Since I last gazed into her stunning grey eyes. Since I last took a bath or got up. Miles came in here with Isabella yesterday to check her progress. As Isa cried for her daughter to wake up, my heart ached for them.
Life is unfair. To me. To her. to all of us. Her life has been the most traumatic ever.Yet she continues. She hasn't awakened, therefore it has trapped her in this specific hospital room.
"She truly changed you, brother." A familiar voice called
Leo.
I chuckled, "That's what a mate does."
He said, "I discovered something."
I turned to face him in the uncomfortable chair.
"Lara told me that Hayden, her old boyfriend, was the person you met at the dinner. He has three siblings: Sage, Xavier, and Hunter. And he is now married to a Brooklyn Morgan and the King.Valencia Anderson is his mother, and Derek Anderson is his father." He clarifies "She was brought to Blyke's location after going missing while in his land, but she presumably didn't tell you this. Despite having escaped, they stumbled back into his land and ran into Derek. He was abusive to her mother as well. When all the captives were released one day, Hayden turned her down, and that was the end of it."
I squeezed my fists so tightly that my veins bulged.
"So who do you suppose is responsible for this?" I scowled.
Blyke overheard Derek saying, "You're too pathetic to take over the throne," He says
"Or did he mean theirs?" I questioned
"Not certain. Maybe both" he muttered.
"He's evil" a voice wheezed out
When she woke up, I hurried to her side and held her hand while grinning.
"Hello, baby" I said.
'Water please '
Leo gives me a bottle, and I straighten her up and give it to her.
Leo laughed, "Thank God you're awake, he almost died without you."
'Who's he?'
"Leo, my twin,"
'Oh'
She gave him a long look before waiving.
'I need to sleep '
Then her body goes limp.
