Chapter 60
Chapter 60
We pull up to the main house. James spins the car and backs in so it’s facing out and ready to tear out
of here. The two support vehicles do the same. It’s a tactic that I know makes sense, but it
heightens my concern.
For all of us.
“This is my family. Will you two calm down, please. You’re overreacting and that’s going to make things
worse.”
“Don’t be so naive,” Aaron says dismissively. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
He gets out of the car and opens my door. He holds out his hand to help me down.
Now, the chivalry.
I ignore his outstretched hand. I look past him. “Liam!”
My brother runs to my side and hugs me hard. Aaron doesn’t move back. If anything, he crowds us. I
roll my eyes at him.
“I can’t believe he’s gone,” Liam whispers.
“I know. I’m so sorry.”
The words come automatically and I tense. Because I mean them in a very literal way. It’s because of
me that father did
what he did.
Me and my ‘husband.’
Liam shudders. “We were already shifted. I didn’t even think anything of it. I just assumed you’d arrive
and stay at the main house while we were out running during the ceremony. I had no idea you were in
danger-”
“There was nothing you could do. And I’m fine now. It’s okay.”
Liam nods, but a tear slips free. He’s devastated over losing dad. “I still can’t believe it.” His voice is
hoarse and his big body trembles again as he holds me.
He’d been so stoic at the hospital, but I think it’s finally hitting him now.
“We’re going to get through this, Liam. We’re together. And we’re going to make sure this pack
succeeds.”
He nods and draws back. He squeezes my hands.
Then his eyes narrow. “You, uh, you’re a mess.”
I glance down.
There’s blood on my arms, legs, clothes. Probably some on my
face.
“It was an interesting night.”
He arches a brow. “Yeah. So I see.” Then he turns to Aaron
menacingly.
