Love Conquers All

Chapter Seventeen

Thomas' POV

Are they stupid? Do these two idiots think that they can take us? Well, I know they're both stupid. I know they're insane. But what makes them think this is a good idea.

I'm assuming the kid that looks like he's about to break down any minute is Eaker . I've seen him around a few times, but he's never looked this..... whipped . He's shrunken back and his shoulders are slumped like he's given up, there are deep bags under his eyes and wrinkles that make him lool twice his age.

What happened to him? I know that look,I used to see it on myself all the time before the last war.  Death would look better on him then this.

"How have you guys been? Long time no see hu?" John grins at me, but his eyes are scanning over Alexander like he's a meal. I growl and pull Alex into my side, his arm goes around my waist and head lays on my shoulder.

"There's a reason for that. " I say lowly ." You were banished here, you cant hurt anyone here or in the kingdoms. That's why you two were thrown out '

"Alright," Aaron cocks his head and eyes cut into me. I grind my teeth to keep from flinching,"if the reason why there's a barrier is too keep us separated, how come the little Hamilton here snuck out onto our land days ago. He's free game.  Just like all of you are right now.'

"What about George? He's not royalty, he's never even met you." Alex snaps and his eyes go to the teenager.

"Well, you see here, George is my little toy that I send to go run and do things for me." Aaron smiles and his arm slings around George.  The kid freezes up and eyes widen. His hands curl into fist and he bites in his lips. Are those... hickies? My eyes go over The Philip's neck and widen. He has hickies over his neck too.

I nudge Alex and nod at them. Alex sizes them up for a moment before his eyes widening. He looks at me and back at them. "One night stand?.."

I shrug and set my glare back at Aaron.

"So, he brought his 'friend'  here to us, like a good little toy." He rubs George's head. His eyes widen and he yanks away sharply.

"I-I didn't want to.' He shakes his head and almost trips over his feet,Philip glares at him sharply and snarls." I promise, I didn't want to."

"Why should I trust you?" Philip scoffs. " You're just a whore."

"Philip!"Alex scolds and watches as his son, our son storms over to George.  His eyes are livid and grip tightening on the hilt.

"I could never love you. What made you think that anyone could ever love you?"  He raises the sword and George's feet stop like they've been cemented to thw ground.  Panic flares in his eyes wildly.

"You- You said in the cave, and last night, and you seemed like you cared." His eyes flicker diffrent colors. Going between a deep brown to a stone cold blue.

"Words are words. " He scoffs and shrugs." They don't mean anything too me. You don't mean anything to me.'

"Philip Hamilton!"Alex yells, Philip's eyes cut to us and he grinds his teeth.  "What the hell has gotten into you?"

He raoses his sword and turns to George. "Absolutely nothing. "
