Chap 12 Allies and Truth (1)

Elijah POV

Today was an interesting day.

Lucien looked happier than he had been in recent days. Decker has made Lucien smile brighter than before. I knew that Lucien thought I hated him but that was never true. I cherished him despite our differences.

"Elijah" that pulled me out of my head and looked at Clive who had called out to me. "All good ?". "Yup. Everything is okay. Actually, can we talk ?". Clive nodded in agreement. "Lucien, we are heading to the study. Keep Decker company ?" "Sure. Denver is in the study waiting".

I raised an eyebrow in question, silently asking how he knew that. "He messaged me just now saying that he got something 'interesting' for you" Lucien said while signing air quotes. I snickered at Lucien's antics. Clive had an amused look on his face while Decker burst into giggles. Lucien looked over, lifted his hands and wiggling his fingers pounced on Decker tickling him. The room was filled with giggles and shrieks while we looked over with indulgent smiles.

We made our way over to the study. As we walked in Denver who was pacing in front of the fireplace anxiously turned around and glomped me. I was surprised at the sudden action but I hugged back. Clive had an eyebrow raised and I shrugged in response.

"Going to kill all three bastards and then the ass for hurting you and Lucien". Denver mumbled furiously under his breath. It was loud enough that Clive and I froze in shock.

What the hell did he find ???

Why is he swearing? !!!
