I sighed heavily before closing my door, led us down the stairs and a hall right to the left took it to the extreme end and that's where his wing was. I slowed down just before we reached Marcos's room expecting he would know who it owns to but he was oddly rather well behaved; I hated it.
"There is still a lot you need to account for" I started remembering just how he trapped me mercilessly and caused my friends pain, "I promised to make you pay."
I heard him make a noise from his throat very mockingly. I stopped just by Marcos's door and turn around to look at his emotionless face.
"You will" I stated firmly just as the door flew opened I turned towards it
"Just as expected," Marcos glanced down at his watch, "You're early."
"It's rather in our best interest to get it over with," I said before Cassuis came to my side, Marcos's face lit with a smirk.
"Come in" he ushered us in and closed the door behind us, the room was dimly lit; not really knowing the reason but it didn't sit well with me, I could feel something dark brewing right in the corner.
"Friendly acquaintance?" Cassuis voice was not in one bit in sync with his facial feature, he sounded upset but really looked calm or somewhat thrilled to be there. He dropped himself to the chair Marcos sat earlier; this was not going to work out for me tonight. Although the invitation said dinner there was not even a single scrap of food or something to drink but he'd helped himself to the bar bringing one more cup with him, he handed it to Cassuis before getting to seat across.
"You are no stranger to this room, please" Marcos gestured for me to seat in the couch Cassuis was in. Hearing what Marcos said Cassuis instantly emptied his full glass of scotch.
"Do you have what I want?" I asked as soon as I sank into the chair
"As I said earlier, it is not stress-free to find" he said calmly setting his glass down
"Then?" I asked
"Then we are here to hear my own part of the transaction, its good you bought an extra set of ears" there was really something extremely arrogant about him. I sighed inwardly at how he is willing to draw this conversation, he would have easily told me about it when I came earlier.
"I am a person of my word, what do you want in exchange for it?" His hand rose up to stroke his chin while he laid back completely in the couch rest one leg crossed over the one he made an 'hmmph' sound.
"Presently you have zero aliases,"
I cut him off, "No,"
"I will not make alias with you or anyone else"
"What do you propose is worth taking from you?"
"A single hair from me is worth to throw you up the ladder" I saw Cassuis glance at me and could sense his confusion
"You are right,"
"Then I shall take benefit in body."
The next thing I heard was a glass shattering and then Cassuis zoomed past me and wrapped his hand around Marcos's neck.
I leaped to my feet while he ranted, "If you dare as much look at her with such intent, I will not just relieve you of your heart but make sure your whole coterie fall with you"
"How dare you?" Marcos spat before he kicked back Cassuis making him crash into the couch that we were once sited in
"IF I WISH YOUR WHOLE COTERIE WILL VANISH THIS VERY MOMENT"
"Enough," I stood in between
"You keep your lap dog under control" he said towards me his chest rising and falling wildly keeping his gaze on Cassuis whom had already come around the couch and was staring at me dangerously; he will explode very soon.
He said, "Whatever you seek to find, I can provide for you."
Marcos burst into a cackle, dropped back into the chair kicking his head back "Of course, your arrogant self can bring what's deep down into the ocean just to prove you are better than your brother"
"Brother?" I nearly swallowed my own words; my gaze moved from Cassuis to Marcos twice, they had no resemblance. For the first time in his facial features I witnessed his weakness, a deeply wounded individual and a defeat person.
"Half-brother" Marcos added mockingly towards Cassuis, I felt an uncomfortable sensation deep inside my stomach, I was getting enraged.
"What?" I was indeed perplexed,
"Now this is a discussion for another date,"
"If you will seat back please," Marcos seemed like nothing ever happened but Cassuis seemed to be rooted to the floor and his gaze was struck to him, it was though he could breathe fire and end Marcos right there. That was the first time I had really seen something affect him in such a manner; ever. He seemed more humane as I looked at his scrunched up face.
The atmosphere now changed completely as Cassuis sat back down, I couldn't speak anymore I could only think of what drifted these two brothers, forcing them to forget a bond that was meant for life. I would kill to have just my pet with me, I didn't know what it's meant to have a sibling but it's worth losing everything to keep it. I couldn't take my head way from Cassuis──I stared hard and long to notice every single movement he made in the room. He tapped his feet repeatedly, kept his fists clenched and his face kept twitching.
"As I was saying," I snapped my head back to Marcos
"Yes,"
"I will take something worth inside you, if you can see to it" his gaze drifted a bit to my side; towards Cassuis
"What do you mean?" My voice cracked towards the end, I kept feeling something inside my throat. Marcos laughed briefly before adding
"Relax I'm not customary to changing company in bed, right brother?" he paused, purposely to tip off the temper in Cassuis whom somewhat ignored it. I saw the corner of Marcos's mouth drew up lightly; he was loving the state Cassius was in. After the short uncomfortable silence, Marcos spoke up again darting his gaze back to me with a sly face, "I will only need a stash of your blood."
'A stash? He's definitely planning something big'
'What do I do?'
"You are welcomed to think about it," Marcos interrupted my thought after the long pause. I had thought about it enough, the last time I saw her alive replayed in my mind and the last time I saw her mate and pack──shattered, I will make them whole again.
'Whatever it takes'
"No, you have it"
"Good" he said smirking heavily, I felt my inside turn but I was not going back on my decision.
"I have people working on it──You shall have it in three nights"
