Dark Prisoner ✔

Chapter 9: Armour

Kade was locked in this godforsaken room while rogue wolves were about to chew that Waldorf's head off. Frankly, he should let the wolves kill that infuriating man. And to think that he felt bad for Alexander after seeing the pain in his eyes while being in this stupid old house. The torment was as if it dragged Alexander into a dark hole with demons that fed off his misery. Kade knew that this house, or whatever it was, held only nightmares for those two brothers.

Why did Kade falter today? There was a shard in his heart that ached when he saw the sadness in Alexander's eyes. Kade could bleed for him and rip apart anyone that hurt him. This sensation was abnormal, it shouldn't be inside him. He only carried hatred for the Waldorf name, nothing else. Yet, like a steady pulse, he found himself needing to reach out and touch Alexander.

Kade raked both his hands through his tousled hair out of frustration as he paced wondering how to get out of this room. There were wolves outside attacking Alexander and who knows how many of them were down here. He didn't even understand how there were wolves here when this whole place was shut down and desolate. Although, the doors weren't locked and nothing was secured on this property. Any number of things could've crept into this hollow mansion and made it their domain.

Securing the silver bullets that they came for in his holster, he then kicked at the door with sheer fucking force, because it was an old ass door and it better break before he lost his damn mind. He kicked at the hinges again and again until the bolts loosened and snapped. The door hung and he charged straight for it, slamming his shoulder into the frame, it burst open and he fell to the ground on the other side. Kade saw Alec who was on the other end of the hall leading the wolves away.

"I told you to stay in the room!" Alexander barked as blood covered his shirt and cheek.

The two wolves turned their attention onto the new prey. Kade was already pissed as hell. He took the silver bullets that they found today and loaded his weapon. He aimed at the first wolf and pressed the trigger; the bullet blared through the hall and shot the wolf in the skull. The last wolf ran towards Kade with a wild hunger raging in his dead eyes. Kade took aim but a silver dagger flew through the air and pierced itself in the wolf's head. The wolf died before his feet, its eyes still open but no pain or soul lingered in them.

"You don't listen well, do you?" Waldorf chided as he wiped the blood off his cheek with his sleeve.

Kade walked right up to him, their faces inches apart. "Don't ever do that again," he gritted out. "I can protect myself. I don't need you to do it."

Alexander smirked as his deep blue eyes captivated something carnal inside Kade, which just angered him further. He found himself inching closer, almost needing to be the only one that could ever be this near to Alexander. His intoxicating scent was dangerous to Kade and his wolf.

"We got what we came for," Kade growled. "Let's get out of here." He stalked off towards the elevator and Alexander joined him without further discussion.

The elevator took them back to the first floor and they got out in the same lounge space, that looked like an office of some sort. It didn't take rocket science to figure out that Lucas conducted business here. Kade ignored the heavy presence that Alexander carried himself with as they walked together.

They left the house and Alexander lingered by the door. Kade was about to call him out, but he stayed quiet when he saw the lethal resentment on Alexander's face sharpen the focus in his eyes. He seemed to have found his propose or perhaps hardened his resolve. Kade didn't know what battle this man was fighting within himself, but it was clear that whatever he experienced in this house, he carried it with him wherever he went.
