</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">Luca ground his teeth, fighting the urge to cough. He didn't have time for that. Not with Aries right in front of him. Luca started forward, stopping in shock when Aries turned on Alex and brought the man down to the ground. Luca hadn't answered Alex; too angry to put words together coherently. Aries startled Luca with his action though even more so with his words. He swallowed hard. He did want Alex gone, but he didn't want Aries to be the one to do it. Aries was too fragile for that -not in the sense of strength he was more than capable- but rather his mental situation. He wouldn't forget how Aries looked after he'd been forced to drink his blood; and even after Luca had told him it was okay. <br/>
<br/>
Luca quickly closed the distance between them and reached for Aries, putting his hand on the vampires shoulder. "I will deal with him, Aries. Just wait for me, okay?"<br/>
<br/>
Luca turned his gaze to Alex, his dark glare returning as he scowled at the man on the ground. "You're a sick fucking bastard. Using him like a god damn weapon! I told you I wouldn't give him to you but that wasn't what you wanted to hear. You'll be joining your damn lackeys here shortly, don't worry," Luca said, flipping his long knife for a better grip as he glowered down at the larger hunter.</span>
