Four or Dead

"T can't tell you about it, just like I couldn't say anything about Fire Fly."

"What's with all the insect names?"Stefan asks

"Names for those like me," Angel murmurs

Those like her? Does she mean hellstars?

"What couldn't you say about Fire Fly?" I push her to say more as I feel she is finally opening up to usThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

She looks out of the small window. "In exchange for saving her, I was to receive a new identity. It was my only chance to escape Carlos, so I accepted. And I was the only one who had been in the facility before

When I felt ready to implement the plan, I ran from home. I asked Alekos for help because he was part of the plan," her gaze returns to me, "but you and Stefan weren't-especially Stefan. Wasp told me to keep my distance from you two, and while it was easy to do so with Stefan, you...."

Angel falls silent, but I need to know more about this plan and Fire Fly and Wasp. Are they hellstars as well? If yes, we must find and protect them from the Dukes

"T fell in love with you the moment our eyes met," I finished the sentence for her. "You know why?"

"Because you are a psychopath?" she questions me, making me laugh

"No, because we were meant to be," I tell her what my heart now knows for sure. She narrows her eyes, and I know she wants to know more, but right now, I want to know her distance from me and Stefan?"

. "Who is Wasp, and why did she say you should keep your

Angel thinks for a while before answering. "She...helps hellstars who are in bad situations escape. She told me to stay away from you because you two were trouble. Especially you. Not Stefan. He was...taken. That Fire Fly belongs to him." Who the fuck is this Fire Fly? "When I learned about Emily-" Stefan inhales sharply, but Angel and I ignore him "-I didn't make the connection, not until I saw Emily. And then I knew."

"Knew what?" Stefan rasps

"That Emily is Fire Fly, the one I was supposed to save from the facility."

Stefan stands and punches the wall, making Angel flinch. "You knew

about Emily?"

"Aren't you listening to what she is saying? She learned about Emily after I took her home."

"Giselle told me about Emily. How could I ever know she was Fire Fly when I never met her before?"

"Will I ever be free of that whore?" he mutters, then looks at Angel. "If

Emily has an insect name, then is she-" He does not finish his sentence, but Angel does. "A hellstar. Like me."

At least she is not doubting her true nature. But if Emily is a hellstar then the Elders will protect her from Alekos. He won't be happy as he personally wants to kill her

Stefan laughs bitterly. "Her, a hellstar? More like an angel-slut."

Her gaze goes from Stefan to me, then turns to him. "I suppose I am a demon-slut?"

Stefan studies her from head to toe. "You are a slut," he agrees with her, "but you are my slut and that of Reyes and Alekos."

Even if I want to throw Stefan overboard, I can't argue with what he said

"Why did this Wasp person want to save Emily?" I try to find out more

Angel shrugs. "Only she knows, and I never asked."

"So, what is your insect nickname?" Stefan asks

Angel cringes. "Sounds weird when you say it like that. Bumblebee." "Suits you," I say. "You are cute but also have a stinger."

She snorts, and I pull her in for a kiss, but she shoves me back. "You

need to take a shower." I sigh. "You want to join me?" "No!" she hisses

"Just asking." I glare at Stefan. "Stay with her. And if you fuck up yet again..."

He nods, understanding my threat

I hate leaving Angel alone with Stefan, but he kept her calm while Rin and I were torturing Luis. And she let him hold her in his arms. I don't want to get my hopes up, but maybe she will finally take us back?

Before I jump into the shower, I check on Luis, wanting to be sure he did not die. I plan to keep him alive until he cracks and tells me where Carlos is hiding. I call Alekos, letting him know everything is well and what Angel told us as well. "See you in the morning," he says before hanging up

It is after sundown when we make it back to Tazacorta. The yacht is rented for a few more days, and Rin remains on it with Luis while Stefan and I take Angel to the ER. After a doctor looks at her nose and pain medicine is prescribed, she is given an ultrasound. I am looking at the image on the screen, trying to figure out if the baby is a boy or a girl when I hear my child's heartbeats. If there is love at first sound, then I am experiencing it. The most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Too bad Alekos is not here. Neither is Stefan, as I didn't want him inside. Plus, I

told the doctor I am the father, as Stefan doesn't speak Spanish

After the doctor tells us the baby is fine and warns Angel to be careful when cleaning the floors so that she won't slip again I still don't know why she chose to lie like this when signs of strangulation are visible on her neck-Stefan and I take her home. I will chop off Luis's fingers next time I torture him

Some hours of sleep later, Stefan and I are serving Angel her breakfast in bed, as the doctor advised her to take it slow for the following days when Alekos enters the bedroom

"Daddy's home!"

Stefan is not the only one to cringe, as I do the same, but Angel seems happy. Yet she says, "All four of us under the same roof, again. I don't know if I should be afraid or... cautious."

Alekos sits on the bed and kisses her forehead. "Happy-that's how you should feel. And since there are things we need to work on, I was

thinking of going on a short trip with the yacht. For a few days." Angel groans. "I get seasick."

"Tt will be worth it," Alekos tries to convince her. "I want to show you something," he adds

"It's not like I have a choice anyway," Angel caves in

"Wonderful," Alekos buzzes with joy. Did something good happen? "Reyes, a word with you." He goes to the kitchen, and I follow him. "The Elders took care of everything but you have to stay out of trouble for the next few months."

"Ah, so that's why the trip with the yacht. Are you babysitting me now?"

"No, the trip is about making Angel see she can't live without us. Also, why the fuck is Stefan here, and why is she accepting food from him?"

I look down the hall. "I think something happened between them." "They fucked?"

"T didn't ask, but I am sure they did. But it is more than that. They are finally starting to like each other."

Alekos' face brightens up. "Then we might have a chance to fix the bond. We can't let Stefan fuck it up this time."
