The Tales of Two Wolves pt II

Lucienne pov

Of course, here come the buzzkill.

Elijah stomping and walks past us with a disappointed look. "Perhaps, we have to sign up your uncle on tinder. He needs to chill his ass off and take those fancy suit off, Hope" i heard her humming.

"And what should his profile be? What about "Civil Consultant by a day and vampire by thousand years night" as a profile?" we watch as the noble one went to compel every MFHS's students.

That must be painful for his eyes.

"Maybe we should change the "Civil Consultant" to "historian". I heard chick digs a nerd, right?" I suggested back. Hope turn around as her front meet mine, her hands moves around my neck.

"Is it? Weird! Because i get myself an archangel not nerd," i chuckle at her but it falters as soon as i see Elijah coming to us, "mayday! Mayday! A buzzkill slash disappointment uncle coming."

"You know your father would kill me if he knew I let you do that."

Typical Elijah.

"Then don't be snitch, Elijah," i said to him.

Hope sighs, "let's go back to the school. Okay? I need to lay down." Hope grabs my hand and led us to the Bentley when Elijah catches her wrist, "hey. Don't you give up on this fight!"

"It's too late, Elijah. Okay? I can feel it."

I exhale heavily, not this again.

"You should just tell my dad to stop looking for a Hail Mary. He's gone through enough torment." I lean my back on the Bentley and let the uncle and niece deal with their beef or whatever human these days called.

"You are the reason that his life of torment has not been in vain. Now, if you're not gonna fight for yourself, you go fight for him."

Elijah are never stop to amazes me. All those speech he said, i wonder if he wrote it before or after.

"I don't want to fight anymore. I can't save my dad. Okay? I-I'm not a savior. If anything, I-I'm a murderer."

Or is he got it from his parents? But Mikael isn't man with wise words.

"Listen to me. The man in the church was not your fault--." Hope cuts him off, "I'm talking about my mom."

Or was it Esther?

"Your mother was not your fault. If anything, it was mine. Now you blame me."

I tilt my head aside, seems it was Esther.

"Guess what? I've tried. No matter how I look at it, it's my responsibility, if only i listened to Lucienne's warning. Roman and his mom were afraid of me. I was the one who kidnapped her in the first place. I left her to be taken."

"This family needs you. We need you, and you are going to survive." Elijah trying to lift the burden on Hope's shoulders.

"Why? Why? I've spent my entire life trying to get our family back together, and if anything, I ruined it, okay? I-I broke it. So please, just let me go because I'm tired. I'm so tired. And if anything" Hope starts to sob, "I just want my mom, I just want my mom. Oh, God--"
