Summary: For @alexakeyloveloki. Your father is the head of one of the most powerful crime families in Boston but he’s protected you from that life. In your quiet home outside the city, you’ve been cared for and protected. When the desires of a more powerful man with the will to dominate bursts into your life, all your illusions are shattered as he comes to claim what is his.
Your heart flew as you ran like the hounds of hell were chasing you out of Boston. The snow stung your cheeks, the cold wind carrying them took your breath away as you skimmed over the snow, heading in what you thought was the direction of those other homes you saw in the distance.
It was hard to hear any sounds aside from the dull thumps of your feet, the pounding of your heart, and your rasping breath. You kept moving, refusing to look back.
Your life and freedom were on the line.
But the land around his home seemed to go on forever and it was so cold. You weren’t wearing the best shoes for running in the snow either. When you heard a shout in the distance behind you, one of your feet slid out from under you and you went face down in the snow hard. Shivering, you scrambled to your feet, making a beeline for what looked like an ancient barn near the fence at the edge of the property that you’d finally reached.
But hiding in the barn was the obvious choice. You ran towards it, ran in it, immediately searching in the darkness for any other way out. If he stopped and thought you were hiding in the barn, it would buy you some time.
Anxiety had your heart racing as you scrambled, enjoying the brief respite the shelter gave you. When you saw an open gap near the back of the old wooden structure, you darted for it. Carefully, you slipped through the narrow space where a couple of boards had pulled away, taking a deep breath before braving the cold again.
There was a small wooded area just beyond the barn. You chose a huge old oak tree and hid yourself behind it, wincing in the wind and snow to watch the barn. To see who was following you and what they’d do.
