Jake POV~
16 hours ago~
I watch wearily as Ace fills up a glass of Champaign lightly humming to himself. We're all currently seated in the vast living room with numerous sets of expensive antiques and objects that I'm too scared to touch.

Derek is raging you can practically see the veins on his neck popping out. He's gonna snap soon and I don't want to be near him when he does.

" Why are you here...Aspen?" Elijah asks in mockery.

Ace or should I say Aspen cracks his knuckles and glares at Elijah.

" You know how I feel about my name Elijah don't test me," Ace growls.

I chuckle under my breath and his head immediately shoots in my direction. A smile plays its way on his lips.

" How've you been...Jacob?" He mocks.

I exhale loudly and go up to him grabbing him by the collar.

" Don't fucking call me Jacob. My. Name. Is. Jake," I sneer.

His laugh booms throughout the living room echoing in the halls.

" Aw why is that...oh wait I know your brother was the only person who could call you that it's too bad he's not with us anymore," he cockily replies back.

Before I know it my fist collides with his stupid face pounding profusely until blood oozes from his nose and lip. Liam and Elijah hoist me off of him and I kick back trying to get another punch in.

" Get off of me!" I scream.

My sight is blazed in red and I can't think straight. Nobody talks about my brother. No one.

They pull me back on the couch and I calm down taking deep breaths to get rid of the feeling of hatred growing inside me.

Ace wipes the blood off of his lip and nose and scoffs.

" Didn't know you had in you Jacob," he mutters.

I try to get up, but Derek holds my arm down and signals me to sit down. I reluctantly comply.

" What do you want?" Derek snaps.

" We made a deal last week for your men to not intervene on our delivery's yet someone last night attacked our trucks. Now I wonder who did that,"
Ace spits.

Derek throws his head back and starts laughing.

Oh god.

He walks toward Ace and stands right in front of him.

Here it goes.

" Listen here asshole. I was in a good mood for once in my life and all of the sudden I get a phone call to hear your shitty annoying voice and to say I'm pissed is an understatement. I usually don't talk this much, but I think I've had a little too much to drink so let me get this through your thick ass skull. My men didn't do that shit it was probably some rookie gang or people who don't like you because guess what you're not a very likable person. Now get out of my house before I shoot you," Derek growls.

Ace stands his ground staring at all of us then scoffs in disappointment. He snaps his fingers and his men in the back all flock out of the room and he starts heading out. We follow him out until he reaches the door and turns his back towards us.

" Say hi to your sister for me she is a rather pretty one,"
