Chapter 167: Altered
There was a prolonged silence between the two and Celeste grew nervous by the second, her eyes moving back and forth between her two brothers, Nicklaus was an unpredictable type and it made her fear for what might happen, Nicklaus was the wildest and untamed of them all, there was a reason he was called the bringer of darkness.
And she wasn’t so sure he would take this news lightly, maybe she should say something, anything! To keep her brothers from roaring at each other for he could remember last time they held a quarrel, it wasn’t called a quarrel when fangs were involved, who knows one of their heads might roll this time.
She opened her mouth to speak.
"Is that all?!" Nicklaus intoned.
And her body stilled, gods his words were cold, he was awfully cold towards anybody this period, they all knew why which is why Alaric lying out his confession wasn’t exactly a good idea right now,
"Y-Yes brother" Alaric answered, although he stammered in his words he still stood bold, he had his reason for saying this to him right now, it was the first step of moving on with his feeling for Lena, this was the first step, let’s hope he doesn’t die by the hands of his brother this very moment before he could actually complete it.
"Good... because if it would have been more than that I would have separated your head from your body"
A hot chill ran down Alaric’s spine, he gulped at his cold words. He resists the urge to hold his head hoping it won’t fall off from his mere words.
"We don’t have time for this, both of you follow me... unless you prefer to ram in guilt about having feelings for my wife" he stated before turning to leave.
"That went well," Celeste said with a breath of relief, surprisingly well except for the fact he threatened to kill him.
"Of course it wasn’t Sister, he had the intent to kill me, didn’t you feel it?" he motioned as his finger waved in the air, so chilly and his words still got to him.
