Book 2: Blood stone series--Chapter 1

Diego's Point Of View

Mate.

That was the word I was finding very hard to utter as I stared into Allyssa's pristine green eyes. My sharp dagger pointed at her neck, hungry for blood but I couldn't kill her, not yet.

"What are you waiting for Death! Kill her and get it over with. Remember she is the mission." I heard Dexter growl from behind me.

There was a turmoil inside of me. I had to kill her, that was the mission before I told Stan to go fuck himself. Allyssa Argent was marked by Death to die tonight, but here I was hesitating for the very first time in carrying out my mission. Now all I knew was that I had to protect her.

This was unlike me, I never flinched or hesitated, not even in the face of a horrible end but for the very first time I was conflicted and couldn't do a thing.
