PROLOGUE

Years have passed but I remember everything. I remember how my life turned hellish.

It started that night of the fir at the Arpacci Manor, that night that I was supposed to be initiated into our tradition, the night that I am to be announce heir to the Arpacci, the head house of the countries mafia.

My big day started good, fun, with me and my brother, but it soon turned out to the start of hell in my life, and that of my brother.

"Happy birthday big brother," Polaris jumped on my bed. His pinkish lips on that tiny adorable face grinned from ear to ear as he created waves on my bed by jumping on it with the effort of waking me up.

"Morning little Star... little monster," I greeted him and he created his most scary look making claws out of his little hand showing me his teeth. I laughed. He looked like an adorable kitten pretending to be a tiger. He bared his teeth making my laughter even louder as I see his cute little teeth and some of it missing.

"Raaaawrrr..." He said and I braced myself for the bite. He would be biting me when he does that. Polaris doesn't know how restrain himself so even when he meant it as a joke being a little monsters, his teeth would really leave a mark.

I laughed as he tried to sink his little canines on my arm while I hold him off.

"Not fair, not fair..." he pouted when he was not able to bite me. So I turned the tide down and put him on the bed biting on his arm and cheeks earning loud giggles from his lips.

"Stop it," he begged laughing.

"I'm going to die," he shouted giggling still. "Mom... mom... help! I'm being killed here... mom!" he shouted but I didn't stop tickling him.

"We should go see Lunaris now," he told me but I never stopped tickling him.

Lunaris, our youngest brother had barely reached a year of age. Polaris and I always find it cute to watch him sleep and touch his little finger and kiss his pink cheeks.

"You're just telling me that so I would stop tickling you." I told him and I continued to torture him as tears fell from his eyes laughing.

"Help! Help! Somebody help me!" He pleaded as he laughed. And suddenly there a loud noise exploded followed by the slight shaking of the house.

We both stopped moving.

"What was that?" I heard Polaris asked but I told him to stay quiet while we listened. We heard noise coming from downstairs. There were voices, screaming and also a couple of similar noise to the first that struck our ears. I knew what they were: gunshots.

We were under siege.

"What's that?" Polaris clung to me. I could feel that he was scared, I was too.

I knew I had been trained and introduced to these things early, but I had never encountered an actual fight.

"Mom..." Polaris called but I covered his mouth. I knew then that something was wrong. Something bad was happening and I was responsible for my brother's safety.

"I felt my brother clung even tighter to my arm. More screams and gunshot were heard. That was when someone came into the door. He points a gun at me.

"What... What is going on?" It was our uncle, Antonio Mather, head of the Mather clan which was the former house of our mother.

"There's no time to explain Sol," he told me keeping the gun away. "I know that your father made a secret passage in each of your rooms in case something like this happens. Now I want you to take your brother in there and hide.

"But how about mother, my little brother... and father..." I insisted and was about to go to the door when Uncle stopped me.

"Just go!" he told me and then I followed. I saw Polaris already crying but I told him everything would be okay.

I lied.

That was the last time we were at our house, the house of the Arpacci. It was the last time I called myself Solaris Arpacci and my brother Polaris Arpacci. We knew Father and Mother died, they were killed. Most of the Arpacci in that house died that day even my innocent youngest brother Lunaris.

Very few of the Arpacci had survived including Polaris and I. We went into hiding and changed identities. We saw our family members being persecuted as they were caught. We witnessed others denounce us and change allegiance. And we couldn't do anything.

My brother and I also had to change name and shed the identity that we were born to have. But I remembered, and still I will claim what was taken from me. I will not rest 'till I have avenged my family.

I will bring back the Arpacci.

This is the second book of the ARPACCI BROTHERS with the first book being TURN THE LIGHTS OFF. ~fCee
