the better brother || mattia polibio x alejandro rosario

chapter 52

mattia's pov

the lights turn on in the room and i see anna and her mom walk in. i push anna to the side and grab her mom's throat. 

"you lied to me." i turn to anna. "you knew cassandra wasn't in the tombs." 

"mattia let her go please," anna begged. "yes, i knew she wasn't there but you wouldn't have helped me if i told you the truth."

"you and your mom might be stronger than me but due the lack of blood she's been receiving for the last 100 years i can rip her heart out faster than you can stop me," i growl. 

"cassandra escaped the tombs the second she got there," anna's mom said through my grip. "this guard was obsessed with her and she promised to turn him into a vampire if he helped her escape." 

i clench my jaw and release her throat. anna immediately runs her mom's side and helps hold her up. 

"i'm sorry mattia," anna apologized. "i just wanted my mom back. please understand that." 

i super speed out of the motel and return back home. 

third person's pov

there was a lot of things rushing through mattia's mind but he calmed down when he saw skylar in his living room. 

"what're you doing here?" mattia asked with anger in the voice. the anger wasn't directed at skylar but after everything he went through, anger was all he felt. 

skylar didn't say anything and hugged him. "i'm sorry." 

he just stood there in her embrace, not doing anything. alejandro entered the room and watched the two of them standing there, while making eye contact with mattia. deep down, he had wish mattia found cassandra because he wanted to him to be happy. 

shortly, mattia hugged skylar back and pulled away. "i want to be alone." 

"no brother," alejandro denied. "tonight, we're gonna get drunk and have a party right here in this living room."

"take me to trinity's first i dont wanna see that," skylar laughed. 

alejandro chuckles and the two of them walk out the door. 

mattia plopped down on his couch and poured himself some bourbon when he heard footsteps coming from behind him. 

"changed your mind skylar?" he jokes and turns around to see it wasn't her or alejandro. "oh you."

"me," alaric replies. 

"what're you doing here?"

"you asked if we've met before... we have," he says. mattia sips his bourbon and watches him. "you killed my wife." 

he thinks a little and then smiles. "i remember that day." 

alaric glares at him. "and you don't even look like you regret it."

"cause i don't," mattia admits. 

"why?" he asks. "why her?"

"she was hot," mattia shrugs. 

"you killed her because she was hot?" alaric shouts.

"no i made out with her cause she was hot, i turned her into a vampire because she begged me to. the life you gave her wasn't enough for her-- she wanted more."

flashback to alaric's memories...

he woke up to an empty spot where his wife should've been sleeping and then heard typing coming from across the room.
