Damon:
“You didn’t get what you wanted, did you?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at my brother who was clearly annoyed as he entered the house. I was sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace, facing the man, waiting for whatever he did. A mess that I was going to have to fix in silence as always.
“The woman is a hardhead, but she is going to come along. She knows that I have my reasons now, and with Enzo playing dirty games, the last thing that we are going to need is for him to catch Katerina, do we?” Jacob asked, pouring himself a glass of scotch.
“Scotch at this hour? ”
“Does my system know what time is it?” He asked, and I rolled my eyes. “I rest my case, and no one offered a drink for you to be complaining anyway p>
“What did you tell Alaria?” I asked, changing the subject. The last thing that I needed was to end up having an argument with him, especially when I knew that it could be one of his motives right now.
“I told her what she needed to hear. You threw in the bait, I merely made use of it. She is not going to tell Enzo, she doesn’t have the guts to do so, but she can end up getting in more trouble while trying to protect that little child of hers, and I have to admit, I would take him as a son instead of Katerina’s spoiled brat. The woman knows how to raise a child, unlike Katerina.” He said, and I rolled my eyes.
“The difference of two women, one being forced to take her son to another man’s house by you, and another wanting to raise her own son the way that she wanted.” I said, and he scoffed.
“I don’t think so. The woman was never capable of even taking care of herself, and with Yaroslav playing dirty games, I knew that I wouldn’t have been able to take care of the two of them. The one issue that I am having right now is him being alive in the first place. He doesn’t plan on legitimizing me as a son, and he is corrupting what the two of us are working on. If he finds out that I am here, then you are going to end up p>
“He is bound to find out considering that you chose to start appearing in public places. That should have been something that you thought of before speaking to Alaria in the first place.” I said, stopping the man.
“I spoke to her because I wanted a message to be delivered. The one aspect that I do not want is for him to know that I am working with you. Him knowing that I am in town would stir him a bit, something,that I do not mind happening.” Jacob said, pouring himself a second glass. “I am going to need to pay a visit to my woman in the hospital. If she decided to play dirty by burning the house p>
“How do you know that it is her? A woman like her is not capable p>
“A dumb woman like her would be making such a move. Katerina would have made it thinking that it would keep her close to Enzo. She isn’t the smartest, but she can get the job done, and I am going to need to see about the damage that she managed to throw herself in.” He said, taking a sip of her scotch. “You are going to call for a

meeting with Enzo, ensure that he is there for me to be able to speak to her p>
“You seem to be forgetting the fact that he has a beta following her shadow. The man doesn’t trust her enough to keep her in the hospital alone, and if he starts doubting … ”
“ I am going to need him to start doubting to begin with. I need her by my side, and seeing as the human couldn’t keep the children, she is going to have to be the womb to carry my child.” He said, and I frowned.
“Another one died, didn’t she p>
“She didn’t die, I killed her.” He said, making my eyes harden. “She knew the consequence of losing the pups; and seeing as she chose to take the risk, she paid the price. It was too bad though, I did fancy her. She was different from those who I knew before p>
“You are cold p>
“You learn how to be as cold, even colder, when you go through the number of things that I went through, brother.” He said, making my eyes harden. “Anyhow, you tend to what I told you to do. I am going to do my thing. You know your part, and be sure to keep father distracted. If he asks about me p>
“I do not mention your name, you don’t need to worry. I am not a fool, nor do I want to lose what I am fighting to gain. He is already giving me a hard time as it is to begin with.” I said, and he scoffed.
“That is because you aren’t smart enough to get it your way, forcing him to respect you as you do. I don’t expect you to be anyway.” He said, shrugging his shoulders. He gulped the drink down, wincing before he shook his head at me. “You suck at choosing drinks p>
“You are the one who brought the scotch, brother. I am wine person, and the bars and costumers would disagree on your opinion,” I said, getting up from the couch. I closed the book that I was initially looking at, attempting to think about whether or not I would read it before he arrived. “Be sure not to get yourself in more trouble than we can handle. You know, the last time you did that, father almost had your head. And this time, I doubt that I am going to be able to save you from the mess that you might put yourself in. And I believe that if he finds out about your illegitimate son, things are going to get a lot more complicated than they already are p>
The man’s attitude dropped, and I could swear that I saw his smirk turn into a scowl before he rolled his eyes as he poured one more glass of scotch, this time, offering it to me.

“Your scotch sucks, you said it yourself, brother.” I said, tapping his shoulder twice. “I have things to do, and I do suggest that you busy yourself with things other than sex and losing children p>
