King of my heart

1 | Head of the Eagles

He saw her pouring freshly brewed coffee for an old lady offering a soft smile as the smell of the hot delight wafted through the air. She slowly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and cleared the plates off the tables. Placing them she looked around & giggled at the whispering of her friend who had a goofy grin on his face as he walked by and whispered something in her ear. She looked around until her gaze fell on him. He looked at her with an intense gaze as if he could see right through her soul. Her beautiful soft chocolate orbs stared at his piercing blue eyes but she didn't look away or seem terrified. Instead her gazed softened and she offered him on of her brightest smiles before heading out inside to the back office.

She smiled , the memory of her beautiful smile replayed in his head as stood there staring at the spot where she stood minutes ago. She was pure & innocent and he was the reincarnation  of he devil who was functioned to kill & show no mercy or love.

But will lamb fall in love with the lion?

"Noah , hurry son!" , Gabriel Lancaster ordered holding his wounded stomach. "Father" , Noah rushed to aid his father immediately. "Drive to Rhys's quickly , we won't be able to make it home" , his father commanded as Gage his younger son placed him the back seat of the car holding the wound with a cloth.

"Isa" , Noah called his second command who was beating up one the attackers. "Drive to the Walsh's quickly." , he barked. Israel immediately sat in the driver's seat & drove towards the Walsh mansion at waterside.

As soon the reached the driveway Ruskin - the Walsh households butler immediately came to aid and helped them place Gabriel on the guest room bed. "Call the doctor" , he ordered the housemaid Mrs.Potts. Mrs Potts youngest daughter London saw the entire scene unfolding in front of her , a bleeding man and an army of armed men standing in the hallway guarding the doors of the guest bedroom. She ran upstairs & knocked the door "Mira , Mira" , she called out.

Amirah Walsh opened the door standing in her silk pyjama's , her long brown hair in a bun with a copy of Wuthering Heights in her hand.  "London , what's wrong?" , she asked. London was Amirah's caretake as well as her the closest thing she had to a sister. "There's a bleeding man in the guest bedroom below" , London rambled nervously. "His men are carrying guns and are wearing eagle badges" , she mumbled with the fear swirling in her eyes. "Let's go down" , Amirah stated being calm & grabbed London's hand.

Amirah walked towards the door walking pass the armed men who simply bowed in respect and moved away from the door. "Where do you think you're going?" , Isa growled. "Inside" , Amirah replied and went to turn the doorknob. "You cannot go in their young girl" , he stated and tried to push her away from the door. Amirah pushed his hands away , the audacity of this man she thought. "This is my house & I can go wherever I want you are no one to command me , I am not one of your guarding dogs" , she shouted in anger with authority in her voice and pushed open the door. Amirah took deep breaths and thought about everything which made her happy , trying to control the panic attack which was seeping in.

Dr.Gray their family doctor was stitching up a man , he was tall & had tan skin with tattoos covering this right shoulder up to his stomach. He didn't look a day over 40. He clenched his first and hissed in anger trying to calm his temper. Gabriel Lancaster was one step away for snapping Gray's neck but he remained calmed.

"Are you alright sir?" , Gabriel heard an angelic voice call out to him who swiftly turned his head and saw a young girl who had cascading long hair & her brown eyes stared at him with concern. She had a book in her hand and was a splitting image of Maya.

"Amirah" , he whispered. "Who are you & who let you in?" , Gage demanded as he made his way towards Amirah. "I'm sorry to intrude , I was just concerned about what was going on. I'm Amirah Walsh , Rhys & Giesselle Walsh's daughter" , she smiled. Gage and Noah stared at her in disbelief. Amirah?

"You'll must be the Lancaster siblings" , she smiled. "My father always speaks about you'll , he said whenever men with guns wearing an eagle badge enter your house always provide them with aid & what makes you'll distinctive is the beautiful letters on your arm written in arabic"

Amirah remained calm and counted till 10 , armed men and her didn't exactly go hand in hand.

" I hope you get better Uncle Gabriel" , she walked towards him. "Daddy will be here soon" , she smiled and was heading out when she heard a small whisper of "Stop"

"Why don't you sit here next to me , I'm seeing you after ages" , Gabriel whispered. Amirah nodded and went and sat next to the man who had teary eyes.

"So what do you do Amirah?" , Gabriel asked the girl who sat beside him nervously fiddling with  her tiny fingers. "I just finished high school & I plan on taking a gap year since I'm not sure about what course I want to take yet", she smiled. The attention made her nervous & jittery. A room full of 15 men holding all sorts of guns and weapons. Gabriel sensed the tension and looked at Gray.

"Noah I'd suggest you send your men out before Mira has a panic attack " , he suggested. Gabriel nodded.

"Leave us alone & send Isa & Wade in" , he commanded and sat beside the chair placed next to Amirah. "Don't be scared of them , they won't hurt you" , he assured her. She smiled in acknowledgment , "I never liked violence or blood since childhood , it makes me feel nauseous. It has to do something with a distinct memory of my childhood , it's a vague memory but the sounds of gunshots still rings in my head & I always hear the sound of this voice calling out me saying little dove" , she sighed and her eyes got teary. "Sorry" , she mumbled.

"It's alright" , Gage smiled and sat down beside her. "Dadaaaaa" , voice called out as the door of the room opened. Isa & Wade walked in , Wade went and squashed his father in a bear hug as Isa grumbled and shut the door with a resonating bang.

"Get off me Wade" , Dr.Gray grumbled & pushed his son. "Aye that's no way of greeting your favourite child" , Wade grumbled and handed a pack of twix to Gabriel. "Uncle Gabe" , he winked and gave him the pack of goodies. "Sometimes I doubt he's your kid Gray" , Gabriel chucked. "Trust me I doubt it all the time" , he laughed and helped Gabriel sit up.

"And who's this beauty" , Wade walked towards Amirah who blushed and looked down at her lap. "Don't even think about it" , Noah warned him. "Chill bro I just wanted to know her name" , walked towards her. "OMG I know you , you're the coffee culture girl!" , Wade gasped. "I love your hot chocolate and especially the cookies you bake" , he kissed the back of her hand. "Wade" , he smiled. "Amirah" , she whispered and placed her hands in her lap.

"To what do I owe this pleasure Gaby boy" , Rhys Walsh smirked and made his way towards his childhood best friend followed by his wife Gisselle. "Just missed you sweety" , Gabriel cooed as he hugged his best friend. "Grizzellleeee" , Gabriel smiled and engulfed his favourtie sister in a hug , she wasn't his sister by birth but he'd do anything to protect her.

"Gabe , it's been more then a decade since I saw you" , she had tears in her eyes. "I missed you dimwit" , she sniffled. "Don't you ever leave us again" , she cried and hugged him again. "Easy there little tigress , I'm still wounded" , he smiled and wiped her cheeks. "I see you've met Mira" , she smiled. "She's grown up into a beautiful girl" , Gabriel smiled and mouthed thanks as a traitor tear fell down his cheeks. "You owe me 100 dollars" , Wade squealed and slapped Gage's back. "You'll betted on me crying?" , Gabriel stared at Wade in amusement. "He said you'll cry the day Alisha gets married and I said you will when you're reunited with Aunt G , so pay up bitch" , Wade smirked. "He isn't anything like you Gee" , Gisselle smiled at Dr.Gray. "He's gone his crazy mother " , he smiled.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIRAAAAAAAAAAAAA" , the door opened as Colby and Liberty Amirah's best friends stood their wearing candy jammies with Mira's face on it with balloons and giftbags.

"Oh shit" , Colby gasped. As he saw Gabriel Lancaster sitting shirtless in the guest bedroom.

Gabriel Lancaster , head of the eagles , king of the northside , head of the mob.

"I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD'VE KNOCKED" , Liberty kicked Colby's shin. Oh shit indeed.
