The wind rushing in through the open passenger side window of the
Bronco was the only thing keeping the flames from engulfing me
completely. I flexed my fist, pressing knuckles into my chin as I watched
the pre-dawn landscape speed past in a blur of shadowed, muted color.
Finding Becca alive and unharmed at the safehouse was enough to
soothe the inner beast, bank its coals, leaving it pacing somewhere in the
hellish underbelly of my soul.
But that relief was already fading. How much longer could we expect to
protect her—to protect any of them—with an unhinged psychopath like
Séamas walking our streets?
Visions of Archer’s wife pounding on Dad’s chest fill my mind. Her
angry, grief-stricken features so at odds with the blank, pale ones of her
eight-year-old son as Dad told them that Archer wouldn’t be coming home.
That she’d lost her husband. Her son lost his father.
My Dad lost his best friend.
It wasn’t until Ma pulled Archer’s wife away that she finally calmed
enough to stop striking out, but Dad took every blow she wanted to give
and then some. His face would bear the bruises of her assault for the next
week or more.
I felt little for Archer’s loss aside from a bone-deep possessive rage that
someone—an outsider—could take him from us. He was ours. Ours to
protect. Ours to wield.
And now he was gone.
I flicked my gaze up to meet Becca’s in the rearview as Kaleb drove us
silently through the Santa Clarita streets, past the Row, and down toward
our house. Becca didn’t protest for once. Didn’t ask for us to take her back
to her apartment.
“Are either of you going to tell me what happened tonight?” she asked,
pressing her palms between her knees, her shoulders hitched high, no doubt
sensing the tension in the Bronco.
I turned my attention back to the streets, scrutinizing every alley, every
side street, every vacant window. Looking for prey.
Kaleb sighed beside me.
“He won,” he said after a moment. “The fucking bastard has us by the
balls, Vixen.”
My upper lip curled back. “Not for fucking long,” I hissed so low I
doubted Becca or my brother could hear me over the whistle of the wind
filtering into the cabin.
“What do you mean ‘he won?’”
We’d gotten Becca out of there fast, not trusting the Irish madman not to
blow the place despite our agreement. Ma and Dad had the others evacuate
to their homes with a promise to our inner circle to have a meet tomorrow
morning. Apparently everyone needed the time to process. To rest.
I’d disagreed, but Dad pulled his boss card and everyone folded to his
will. Gone to hold their families extra tight tonight before the shitstorm of
tomorrow.
