Sorry that this chapter is so short.
Marcus’ POV
When I arrive home I am beyond pissed. Brian thinks he can do whatever the fuck he wants. Well, not with me. I’ll show him he’s in a new millennium. When I go to my study Cody is waiting for me with Liam. I smile at them. I’m sure Cody did some spell to bring Liam back.
“What did he say?” Liam asks.
“No,” I tell them. “The fucking bastard.”
“Are we mad?” Cody asks and laughs.
I hate that little guy but he’s been helping me. My grandsire has had him lock for a long time always experimenting on him but now he’s free and willing to help me take Brian down.
“So what’s the plan?” Cody asks.
“Justin,” I tell them. “I have enough men to go in there and kill everything.”
“Don’t underestimate them,” Cody tells me.
“Fuck off,” I tell him. “I know what I’m doing.”
Cody only nods and turns to look at Liam. “Liam can’t be seen, at least not yet.”
“I’m not an idiot,” Liam tells him.
I smile and sit down. “I want Kevin killed.”
Cody and Liam turn to look at me.
“Are you nuts?” Cody asks.
“He can be vital to us plus he’s your sire,” Liam tells me. “If you kill him, they will kill you. That’s the law.”
I close my eyes briefly. He was supposed to be my little brother and nothing else. When they dropped him at the front door I thought he was just hurt. Then he turned on me. He turned me. He did things to me that…horrible things. Then they came and all of them took my family. We became the very thing that we hated and tried to kill for years and years. Brian only laughed when he saw my face. When I realized what was happening. I hate him. I’m going to make him pay and then I’m going to take his place as Master.
“I got a few connections out of here,” Cody tells me.
I open my eyes and stare at him. “Tell me about them.”
“A few of Brian’s childes that have gone as far away as they can from him,” Cody explains. “I know they would love to help us.”
“Can I have him?” Liam asks. “Justin.”
“Sure,” I let him know.
“You have to get out of the country,” Cody informs him as he gets up. “My brothers and sister will welcome you gladly. You just have to stay away for a while. Until…Marcus has a seat at the council. Then no one can judge his decisions.”
Liam nods. “That would work perfectly.”
“Yes,” I agree. “The more allies we have the better.”
Cody nods. “If you need me for anything let me know,” he says before he leaves us.
Liam turns to me. “Do you think we can trust him?”
“Oh yes,” I tell him. “I know he hates Brian as much as me.”
“How can you be sure?” Liam asks.
“He knows that Brian abandoned him and he ended up imprisoned by my family,” I tell him. “He wants revenge.”
Liam nods with a smile. “I can’t wait to have my own revenge. That fucking asshole has managed to overpower me twice.”
“Don’t worry about it,” I tell him. “You will have it. You can do anything you want to Justin.”
“About Kevin,” he says. “Cody is right. We need him.”
I frown.
“He can see things that could help us,” Liam explains. “If not the best you can do is lock him up, but don’t kill him.”
“Brian did the same, did he not?” I ask him getting angry.
“But,” Liam says. “They planned on killing her. She was abusing her power so they got him into it. They promised him power and riches and he took it. It’s very different when the council is on the decision.”
I think about that. “I’ll lock him up.”
“That works,” Liam tells me. “You can have your own revenge on him.”
I look at him with a raised brow.
“If he was your sire he must have done a number in you,” Liam tells me as he gets up. “I bet you enjoyed it.”
I frown and turn to look away.
“Don’t think much of it,” Liam says shrugging. “We’re vampires. You can take your sister for all we care and marry her.”
I think about it.
“I see the way you look at her,” Liam tells me and laughs. “You want her for yourself and nobody else. You should make her your mate. She’s strong and complements you well.”
“Do I have to ask Brian for that too?” I ask annoyed.
“Or Kevin,” Liam explains. “Or you could wait until you’re in power and just do it.”
I nod. I like the sound of that. There is a knock on the door and Cody comes back inside.
“I made the call,” he says as he sits down.
He’s holding a notebook.
“Everything is set,” Cody says. “They will come and help us.”
“Good,” I say getting up. “I’ll show him.”
Liam smiles from ear to ear. I know this is going to be great. Brian is never going to see this coming. It’s going to be so good. I’m taking my grandsire down. I’ll show him how much power I do have.
“We’ll talk,” I say as I exit the room.
I signal my man that we’re going out. When I get on the car I pull out my cell phone and call her.
“Yes,” she answers.
“The plan is in motion,” I inform him. “You will get what you want and I will get what I want.”
“I can’t wait,” she tells me. “I’ll make Brian pay for what he did to me and my family.”
I laugh at that. I have all the man power I need to take Brian down. Then I’ll take him and make him beg for the end. To think that knowing just the right people can get you to the places you want to go.
