Chapter 244
Dayyna's POV
It's been almost 2 weeks since Dad was attacked and l fought with Maria in that clearing, He's currently in a medically induced coma so that his brain injury can heal. I've visited him everyday, sometimes accompanied by Vincent or Caleb. Maria ended up in the dungeons as expected, but I don't know what has come of her. Nor do I care. I kicked her ass and hopefully she will know not to approach me or my dad again.
That's where I am now, sitting in a chair by my father's bedside. The small beeping sounds of the machines make me uneasy, but I need to be strong for us both. I brought fresh flowers for the visit today, I admire them on his side table. My phone pings as I sit quietly. I pick it up and read the message from Marcella.
M: You coming to work tonight? Alpha Kane
D: Yeah, I'M be there.
At the age of 31 Alpha Kane Locus
M: How's your dad today? lack had giyen up on looking f
D: No change.
M: Okay, we can chat later tonight. See you at work!
D: See you.
I don't mean to be so short with her, but I've been short with everyone. Even Vincent and Caleb. I've still spent time with them and have been training with Caleb to hone some of my skills, but I've been distant. I don't want to be, but the attack on my dad has put my defenses back up, and I've been kicking myself for not paying enough attention and letting the boys and Marcella protect me. I need to be strong myself so I can continue to stand my own ground. There are going to be times that they aren't there, and I'l be damned if I let myself be the weak, petty human
Well, I mean somewhat human. Vincent confirmed that my eye colour
change when I was fighting with Maria indeed was a sign of me being a hybrid, but we still have yet to figure out how to break my dormant state. I look at my watch and then get up out of my seat.
"Time to go workout." I say to myself and walk over to my dad. "Good to see you today, daddy. I love you and I'll be back tomorrow. I promise." I kiss his forehead and gather my things before heading out
Once at the gym and changed, I make my way over to the punching
bags. They've been my new obsession when here. I wrap my hands and
pull my hair back into a high pony. Placing my ear buds in, I hit play on my music and start to punch the bag. Slowly at first to warm up, and then as time progresses I increase in intensity and speed. Usually l'm focused, but today l'm off. Flashbacks of both my mom and my dad, injured and dead pass through control, but then strong arms wrap around me.
"You're going to hurt yourself" He states as I turn to face him, removing my ear buds.
"I was almost done anyways." I say and back away to unwrap my hands. He places his hands on mine, stopping me
"Spar with me, we need to talk." I roll my eyes. "Okay." We go over to the large mats near the back of the Eym and he holds his hands up. As I hit them and go through the movements that we've been practicing, he starts to talk to me.
"Vincent and I have been talking, and we think we need to go ahead
with telling the council about us." I duck as he swipes towards me.
Coming back up, I scoff.
"And what if they just say it's not possible and don't acknowledge it? What then?"
"Then Vincent and I have decided we will go ahead with marking you,
regardless of their approval." I pause punching.
"You'd both do that? Wouldn't your families be pissed?" Caleb goes and gets a sip of water and comes back.
"Probably, but it's what we want. We can't just ignore the fact that you are our mate. It's just not possible." He raises his hands
again
"You're getting better" He says as he swipes again and I dodge
backwards. I back into someone who grabs my arm and I twist around,
breaking the hold and throwing a punch. I hit another hand.
"'A lot better, love." Vincent smiles at me and hands me my water bottle.
"Thank you." I sit for a moment on the mat and sip my water. Both Caleb and Vincent come and sit in front of me.
"So you think you're ready to blow this whole thing wide open?" Caleb asks.
"I wish I could talk to my dad, find out what he knows. But that won't be happening soon I don't think." I pause, and sigh.
"l guess we can't put it off any longer"
"It's settled then. We will go to the council tomorrow. I'll arrange the meeting." Vincent says as he stands up. He holds out his hand and I take it and he pulls me up to my feet. I stumble though and place my hands on his chest to steady myself.
"You coming to Marcella's thing after work tonight?" Caleb asks as I back away from Vincent and finally unwrap my hands.
"what thing, she never told me."
"She's having a little gathering in her suite tonight." Vincent answers. I shrug my shoulders.
"We'll see how I feel after work."
"Of course, love."
"Speaking of which, I should get going if l'm going to be there on time. I'll see you both later?" l ask as I pack my hand wraps in my gym bag.
"Most definitely:" Caleb taps me on the shoulder and as I turn around, he grabs my face in his hands and places a small sweet kiss on my lips.
My heart flutters as he backs away and Vincent approaches and kisses my forehead, then pecks my lips. I can't help but smile, but then guilt washes over me.
"I'm sorry that I've been distant lately." I blurt out.
"It's understandable, love. It's okay. We know how you feel about us. Take the time you need to work through this. We will still be here when you do." Vincent says quietly.
"Okay. Thank you both, really." I grab their hands and squeeze them. I then turn around and walk out to get ready for work.
(Later in the evening)
I take a deep breath of fresh air as I get out of the car with Marcella, having just gotten back from a very busy night at Bloodhaven. As we're
"You going to come tonight?" I nod.
"Oh you mean to the gathering you didn't tell me about earlier?" l joke with her.
"I will for a little bit, we've got tomorrow off right?"
"Yup, we do. Come and let loose a little!" I roll my eyes.
"I already said I was going, but fine." She laughs as we head out of the elevator to our loon
I'm just going to freshen up and then I'll be over" I say as I head into my suite. I change into some comfy leggings and a tank top, braid my hair back and refresh my makeup from working tonight. I text Marcella and head back out into the hallway
As I make my way down to Marcella's suite, I hear a whistle behind me. I turn and I'll I stop dead in my tracks. Asher is at the end of the hallway near the elevator and looking right at me. He doesn't say a word, but instead just stares at me, then flashes an evil smirk before he heads into the elevator. I shudder slightly. "What is it with him?" I ask myself quietly and then quickly take the few steps remaining to Marcella's and knock,on her door. She opens it a few seconds later and smiles at me widely.
"Davyna! Come on in." She steps aside as I walk past her and see that there really is only a small group of people.
