Under The Assassin's Protection

18

He is shot..

I thought I'd make it on time, that I'd  save them all but I- I couldnt..

And the worst thing is that I have a toddler to whom I promised a beautiful life with the safety provided by both of her parents. I want to laugh at this situation, I mean its fucked up isint it? Life is so fucked and still I had the audacity to bring Asteria into a world full of evil and pain.

I wish it was me..

I feel numb still sitting on the ground as I stared behind Damien, when all of a sudden he starts laughing as I watch him losing my ability of comprehending the joke in all of this.

Umm irony anyone?

I stare at him in all seriousness before I see Kane appear in front of me down the hallway with the cocky smile on his face.

That dumb stupid face..

With tears streaming down my face I run towards him as he opens his arms for for me. And I swear I hug him with all the power I have left in me. He holds me tightly as well while I cry and he buries his face in my hair inhaling my scent like he always does.

"I'm not that bad at fighting babe I'm disappointed to be honest.." and he just had to open his mouth to ruin it all which reminds me-

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU TODAY!! I HATE U KANE HARDIAN CRUZ I SWEARR I FREAKING HATE YOU!" I scream at him as I land punches on his chest trying to get out of his steel grip while he smiles at me. He holds both my hands in his gigantic hand as he leans down to kiss me before saying "I am okay with death if it captures me first, But I know my death won't be from you but it is going to be for you.."

And this line ladies and gentlemen makes me melt against his lips as he pecks me on my lips resting his forehead against mine. I shake my head as I say "You are one crazy human and I'd love to prove you wrong but I'm speechless right now so fuck you" this makes him laugh as he throws his head back releasing my hands and encircling his around me again.

"I'd gladly fulfil your wish but we have a three year old now, you know?"

This bastard ughhhhhh he has the audacity to return my own comeback to me!

I show him my middle finger which he kisses as I make a disgusted face and shake my hand glaring at him even though it gave me butterflies bigger than the ones anyone has ever felt. I inspect him of any injuries as he smirks knowing very well what I'm doing before I leave him.

Turning around to remove my sweater I reveal my over sized tshirt that doesn't have a spot of blood. "Asteria is inside and I-" I fail to complete the sentence before Kane kind of tears his tshirt to reveal his abs perfectly. Uh i mean perfect abs but whatever abs perfectly perfect abs meh same-

Okay deep breaths fuck this guy he is your husband and you cannot behave this way..Deep breathss...

"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! EVEEEEE!!" Both our necks snap towards the room on our left where Amelia ran to locking Damien out.

She's pregnant then.. that's that.

I look at Kane as I say "I'm going to check on her Asteria is-" he cuts me off..

Bitch..Sexy bitch.. whatever

"I'll know where she is you go check on her.." and with that he kisses me on my head as I stand there watching him go and God is he the finest italia-

"EVERETTE IRENE CRUZZZ" Oh god I forgot anyways I'm happy this sexy guy is mine but I really need to support my to be sister in law..

KANE'S POV

I

am fully aware of the fact that me getting Irene is the best thing that ever happened to me. But I guess it became the second best thing when I saw Asteria for the first time and the fact that something so small and pure was created by a beast like myself still shocks me to this day.

As I leave my stunning wife behind me looking all pretty in my tshirt that she stole years ago, I can't help but feel lucky as hell while I walk towards the direction my baby girl is in. She must be scared and the fact that I was the reason why she started crying in the first place makes me hate myself as I increase my pace not being able to stay away from her a minute longer.

Walking past the rooms I walk towards the hidden library room and am heartbroken to see my angel laying on the bed under the covers trying to hide her cries that are muffled but still audible. I sit on the bed beside her as I call out to her.

"Hey principessa.."

This makes her lower the covers a bit as she makes an eye contact with me making them fill with more tears before she throws off the covers and jumps into my arms. I hold her tightly in my embrace and I'm not going to lie but I missed this so much.

She sobs with her face buried in the crooks of neck begging me to not go and that's when I feel my fucking heart break into billions of pieces.

"Daddy no go plweasee"

I rub her back as I say "I am so sorry baby, mi dispiace tanto ti amo tesoro.. I love you so damn much baby girl. I'm here love calm down.."

And that's how we sit for I don't know how long before emerald joins us and all three of us sit hugging each other not caring about anything. With a life I'm living I know love isint common, but the way these two girls have changed me is unexplainable.

They made me realize that I'm not a beast who hunts without an aim, instead I am a protector. They say an alpha never bows down to anyone but the reality is a true alpha only bows down for his queen or in my case queens..

But the one fact that the whole world might agree on is, that they made me into something I never knew I had the ability to become.

And that's why I swear with every fibre of my being that I'll never let anyone or anything harm them. Dead or alive I'll always be there for them I swear..

Now even death can't stop me from protecting these two beautiful beings, whom I am fortunate to call mine..
