Okay, what the hell is going on?

As I begin to move toward the door, it door bursts open, and my heart stops as my brother, Levi, and four other vampires storm into the apartment.

Fucking hell!

I thought Liam told me this place had wards and that I would be kept safe, and that Emmett was safe.

“Hello, sister,” Levi says. “You look surprised to see me.”

Bile is rising in my throat.

This cannot be happening.

“What are you doing here?”

Levi’s expression is hard as he steps forward, his gaze locking onto mine. “How fucking rude!”

“You can’t be here,” I whisper.

”Says who? I’m here for my family,” he says coldly.

My mind races with questions, but before I can voice them, Emmett comes down the steps and freezes at the sight of them.

“What’s going on here?” he asks, his eyes wide with alarm.

And then Blake walks in.

He has blood all over his mouth and neck, staining his shirt and sleeves. “Sorry, I got a little distracted acquainting myself with your neighbor.”

“Mr. Helwig,” Emmett gasps. “Did you hurt him?”

Blake sneers and says, “Well, well. Look who we have here. What did I miss?”

Panic floods through me, and I turn to Emmett urgently. “Emmett, please, go upstairs,” I plead.

But Levi interrupts. “Stay exactly where you are, Emmett. We all need to have a talk.”

I swallow hard. “Please, Levi, he’s a kid.”

“He’s a wolf. I think it is about time he and I get reacquainted, don’t you think?”

“Blake, please…”

Blake just rolls his eyes and wipes at his mouth. “I told Levi that you picked sides. He insisted on coming here to see for himself. You proved me right.”

“I know what you’re thinking. Give me a chance to explain,” I say.

“This is exactly what it looks like, Selene. You picked a side, a wrong side, as a matter of fact. You betrayed us and your kind. Mom and Dad would be so ashamed,” he says instead as he walks over to where I am standing. “Now, little wolf, why don’t you come down here so you and I can talk?”

My brothers and his companions have never been known for their peaceful intentions, and I fear what they might do next.

I have to find a way to diffuse the situation.

I can’t let them harm Emmett or anyone else.
