His older brother

Josie's pov
I was walking alone in the heavy rain, barefoot and miserable.
When did things become like this?
In front of my eyes, my whole world crumbled down!!
*Breath
"How could you be such a fool?" My lips cried out in pain.
All of a sudden, unfamiliar footsteps sound caught up with my ears.
I slowly turned my head, only to see Gabriel's guards.
"Are they here to take me back?" My heart bloomed with hope.
Yet…
It was just my misconception!!!
"Did Gabriel send you?" My soft tone politely asked them.
"Yes!" One of them responded.
"To take me back, right?" I gripped my dress.
Instead of answering my question, they looked at each other.
"To kill you!" The man with brown hair pointed his sharp claws at my neck.
"Kill me?" My ears couldn't believe it.
One of them came forward and pushed me onto the muddy ground.
"No, you must have heard him wrong!"
*Deep breath
"Gabriel would never order such a thing!"
"Well, he did!" Having said that, the man with sharp claws slashed my chest.
Blood started sliding down my wound and fear enclosed me from all sides.
I covered my chest with my arms crossed as the dress tore from the top.
"Let me go, Please!" Tears rolled down my eyes.
*Evil laugh
"Let you go?"
"That's not possible since Alpha strictly ordered us to bury you, deep in the ground."
My misery was like a game to them, they were relishing every bit of it.
.
.
.
"Let's kill her quickly!"
"Hmm…We can't miss Alpha's wedding."
"Wedding?" My soul was jerked.
"He is marrying Ruby Garcia in front of the whole clan!"
"Oh! She is your sister, right?" They recognized me.
"Wow! One sister is getting married and the other one is begging for her life!"
They all started laughing together and my soul never felt this pathetic before.
It was that moment when my heart finally admitted…
Everything was a mere delusion!!!
Gabriel was just pretending to be a good son to retain the throne, and my existence was just a ladder to his big mission.
Uncle, your son stabbed me in the back!!!
Gabriel is different, he is not the person I thought he was!!!
If only Uncle was here…
Would things have been different?
His sweet smile not only fooled his dead father but manipulated my every tiny action.
It was never my wedding!!!
My role was just to show him good in front of his father and now that he is gone, Gabriel abandoned me without a second thought.
If only the Moon Goddess gives me a second chance, I will destroy every single person who wronged me!!!
.
.
.
The man in front of me lifted his hand to s***h my throat, and I closed my eyes with terror.
A few seconds passed by…
Nothing happened!!!
Only the sound of rain was audible and the rest of them were silent.
I slowly opened my eyes again and was stunned to see the horrendous sight flashing before me.
Elias Rodriguez was covered in blood, and his fierce eyes were glaring straight into mine.
Those men were dead and he was sitting on top of their bodies, smoking with no shame!!!
"When did you kill them?"
I swear he didn't even make a sound, even the screams were tight-lipped.
"You must be deaf, right?" His sarcastic tone mumbled.
"That's rude!" My face frowned.
*Chuckles
"You're in no position to decide that, Josie!" Shivers chill down my spine.
Was it because of his devilish tone or was it because he reminded me of my situation?
"What happened to your wedding?"
He slightly tilted his head to the left.
*Deep breath
Word by word, my lips told him the whole story and he listened to it without interruption.
"Your brother sent those men to kill me!" Even the thought of it was treacherous.
"Too sad!" It didn't matter to him.
He threw down the cigarette on the ground and removed his black leather jacket from his body.
"Take it!" His masculine strength flung the jacket on me.
"Uh…Thank you!" It was unexpected.
"Goodbye!" He jumped off the mountain of those dead bodies.
.
.
.
The moment he turned his back, my heart discovered something.
It was my second chance at life!!!
Moon Goddess gave me another chance to bring down those who ridiculed my misery.
And the man in front of me was my answer!!!
.
.
.
Elias Rodriguez, Gabriel's older brother but prominent as the troublemaker.
He has always rebelled against his father and hated his younger brother!!!
There are many rumors about him…
Some say he was born without emotions!
Some say he was born a psychopath who kills anyone and everyone!
Some say he was adopted!
Some say he killed his grandparents!
Some say he even tried to kill his father and brother!
Some say he is cursed who feasts on his own clan people!
And some say he is an illegitimate child of Wyatt Rodriguez!
But only Elias knows the real truth behind his father's cold treatment.
It was always Gabriel for him, Elias was invisible to his eyes.
Despite being the older brother, he got nothing and Gabriel became the Alpha of our Blackstone clan.
After that, Elias left the house and started staying somewhere hideous.
People say he is now the leader of some mob gang but there is no evidence.
.
.
.
No matter how dangerous he is…
I was willing to risk it all.
Because there was a secret hidden inside my heart, the secret about his feelings.
Not for me, but for my sister!!
His heart has always desired Ruby, but Gabriel won her, too.
Well, the rumor about him being born without emotions is false since his eyes were always on Ruby.
He lost both love and the throne!!
Isn't that great?
We were both losers!!!
But unlike me, Elias was strong and manipulative.
The perfect weapon to bring Gabriel down!!!
.
.
.
"Elias!" My timid tone called him.
His feet stopped and he slowly turned his head to me.
"Do you want the throne?" My mouth bluntly asked him.
"You will give me that throne?" His brows twitched.
"I know everything about Gabriel, more than anyone in this whole clan."
He came closer and stopped inches apart from my feet.
"Are you trying to make a deal with me?" His vicious eyes perked up.
"You want her, don't you?" My breath was stuck in my throat.
"Who?" His brow twitched.
*Gulp
"Ruby, my sister!"
"Aren't you a smart little thing?" His lips moved to my ear and whispered.
*Chuckles
"So what's the deal?"
.
.
.
"Marry me and I'll help you get the throne and my sister."
"So you want to enter that house?"
"Yes!"
All of a sudden, a few men rushed to us in the rain.
"Boss!" They knelt before him.
"You guys are late, I had to fight them alone." He complained.
"Sorry, Boss!"
"Anyways, let's go home!" He turned his broad back.
"Boss, who is she?" They were all confused.
.
.
.
"She is coming with us!" He declared.
"But who is she?"
"My soon-to-be wife!" A smirk glinted on his lips as he looked straight into my eyes.
