Present day…
“They’re ready for you.”
Uncle Maksim’s deep voice seeps through the thick protective wood of
my bedroom door. His usually calm tone is laced with urgency.
“Fuck,” I mutter under my breath. “You don’t want to go in my place?”
Looking over my shoulder, I raise my brow at Rian. The giant lion of a
man is leaning against the wall by the door, intense blue eyes glaring down at
his phone screen.
“Oh, I’ll be coming with you,” he smirks. Shaking away all of his
troubles back home, he slips his phone into his pocket and turns to open my
bedroom door. “Isn’t that right, Uncle Maks?”
“Your presence has indeed been requested,” Uncle Maksim nods. But his
demeanour remains serious. Deadly serious. “You’re to advise your cousin
on the matter at hand.”
Rian might be young enough to think all of this violence is good fun, but
Uncle Maksim knows better. You can see it in his stony face.
None of this is meant to be enjoyed.
Not that there’s any chance I’m about to enjoy a second of it. I may be
even younger than my mighty cousin, but I know just enough to understand
how unprepared I truly am for all of this—even if I wish I wasn’t.
“I don’t need to be advised,” I stubbornly huff. Lifting myself off my bed,
I suck in a deep breath and prepare myself for the shame to come.
“That shiny new scar over your eyebrow begs to differ,” Rian points out.
“Getting into one measly bar fight doesn’t suddenly make me useless,” I
respond. “How many fights have you been in? A hundred? A thousand?”
“Enough to handle you,” he chuckles, turning his broad back to me.
There really isn’t anything I can do but reluctantly follow him into the
hallway.
“It’s like being in high school all over again,” I mumble, quickening my
pace to keep up with my two brutal chaperones.
“How many bar fights did you get into in high school?” Rian asks, never
one to let anything I say go unchallenged.
“More than you,” I lie, desperate to keep up with my older cousin. “But
that’s not what I meant.”
“Than what did you mean?”
“It’s this whole process,” I sigh. “The over-protective measures. The
lockdown. The confinement. I’m an adult now. I’m supposed to be able to
take care of myself. But suddenly, it’s like I’m sixteen again.”
“Your dad gave you way more freedom than this when you were sixteen,”
Rian reminds me. “Hell, I remember visiting from out east and spending an
entire night on Venice beach with you and Mel.”
“He didn’t always give me that much freedom,” I recall, a knot forming
in my gut. “Didn’t I tell you about that time my high school closed down for
like a month because they found the former principal hanging from the
gymnasium rafters?”
“You might have mentioned it,” Rian shrugs, unbothered by the
gruesome image. He’s witnessed far worse.
