Jace's POV
I was damned embarrassed. I thought it might be my roommate at the door but it was who I least expected.
I saw how his eyes widened and glinted when he caught sight of what I was wearing. He didn't turn his face away quickly the way any gentle man would do.
Why? Was he admiring what he saw?
I was acting angry but I was actually glad that he could think of bringing my phone home for me.
The sudden bang of the door jolted me from my intrusive thoughts.
It was Hade. I felt my anger rising. Who gave him the guts to barge into my room.
"You must be the naive dude". He said, looking at Lucian.
I was confused. Does he know Lucian?
Have they met before?
I could see Lucian eyes turning into fire.
His voice was now a roar. "It seems you don't know who you are speaking rudely to".
"And who do you think you are?" There was a dangerous smirk on Hade's face.
"What's going on…." I didn't finish the statement when Lucian threw a punch at him.
He threw back a punch and on and on till they started fighting.
"What's going on here? Stop it." I cried. But they didn't seem to acknowledge me.
Lucian fingers had already turned into claws and he was digging it deep into Hade's skin. I was afraid. What if he got him killed?
"I have to act fast before Lucian kills Hades". I said as I took a chair from my study table and hit him hard.
It seemed like a wave of shock surged through.
His eyes were opened in awe as he gasped and fell to the floor.
"Gosh, what have I done". My voice was shaky.
Hade was already unconscious. I crouched down and felt Lucian's pulse. His breaths came in ragged stutters, each one shorter than the last.
My heart was pounding. I was confused.
I picked up my phone quickly to dial Lyra's number. I was about to tap the dial button when it hit me.
What would I tell her about what just happened?
What was her boyfriend doing in my house by this time?
What caused the fight between him and Hade.
"Should I call the emergency service?" I was perplexed.
I looked down again. Hade was bleeding profusely.
Suddenly, I remembered my next door neighbor was a nurse. I quickly ran out to ask for help.
"Good morning ma'am. I have a….." I could hardly wait for her response to my pleasantries.
"Good morning Miss Jace. What brings you here". Her soft voice interrupted me. She is a middle-aged Greek lady.
"Ma'am, I have some sort of emergency and I would really love it if you could come see".
"Okay I'll be there in a bit". She said, going in to get the first aid box.
"They're okay now". She whispered standing up.
"Thank you Ma'am". I sighed in relief, my eyes fixated on the two men on my bed.
The last two hours were chaotic. From holding open the first aid box to helping clean up the wounds to performing CPR on Lucian.
I couldn't wait for them to wake up from their slumber and leave my house. And my life. Forever.
Hade woke up some minutes later, giving Lucian an evil look and walking out.
"Hade, what's wrong with you two?" I blurted as he walked towards the door.
His voice was raspy "You gave this mother-fucker your phone to text me".
"No I didn't". I said reaching for my phone.
I swiped it open and went through the messages. I was dumbfounded.
"So Lucian was really trying to tell Hade to stay off?"
And why was he sounding so possessive?
A knock on the door jolted me from my thoughts.
"Jace, are you in?"
I could recognize the voice. It was Lyra's.
I turned to the bed. Lucian was still sleeping. Peacefully.
