Page 28 of Burning Truths

Shrugging her shoulders she giggles, “I thought I’d take him to the cliff and have a little fun.”

Stepping into her, my arm shoves Addingting against her chest, “I don’t care who you are or who you’re here for, I don’t need you getting knife happy.”

Pursing her lips she looks me up and down before flashing a smile. “I like you. Too bad you’re twisted up inside for her. I’d add you to the food chain.” she moves quickly, pushing Addington between us. She presses up on her toes and smacks her lips against mine.

Before I can pull away she’s dancing back with a manic laugh.

“Look at that.” she breathes.

My nostrils flare. My body vibrates with irritation and now I’m the one murder happy.

Licking her lips the woman just winks and gives me her back. Addington is being pulled behind her but his eyes are on Ally the whole time.

“She’s insane.” Ally whispers beside me. I can hear the fear in her voice.

Nodding my head I’m lost for words and still fuming so instead of saying anything I follow behind the blue haired devil. It’s not long after we reach a small area just inside the woods that I hear the distant sound of engines and muscle. Havoc’s back. When the sound reaches Oakley her entire body relaxes creating even more questions about the weird dynamics of her pack of wolves. Two steps forward and I’m standing behind Addington shoving my knee into the back of his leg dropping him to the damp soil.

“Don’t fucking move.” I order.

By the time I turn I see four shadowed bodies heading our way. I can spot G a mile away, the shovel in his hand giving him away, a few steps ahead of the rest. Behind him West and Havoc walk to his right and Haven follows on the left a few feet further back. Her hair piled high on her head as she gets closer. I can see the way her eyes bounce around the area. When West finally approaches I step into him.

“What the fuck is with the kindergartner?” my tone is laced with venom.

He pulls back before it clicks. “Watch your mouth, brother.”

One second. Two seconds. Three.

We both laugh, brushing off the tension in the air. Haven reaches us then with an annoyed look on her face.

“Are we done measuring dicks? Cause I have my money on a certain Stone.” she rolls her eyes and heads over to Oakley’s side.

West drags his eyes over her with a wicked grin that doesn’t seem to phase the little dare devil. If she thinks she’s playing an easy game she doesn’t know West Stone.

“Easy brother.” I chuckle, the sound so foreign it almost startles me.

The organ in my chest barely beating jumps a little with the sound.

Killer, what are you doing to me?

G drops the shovel at the feet of Addington, not giving him a second look before coming over to us to wait for what comes next.

“Where are they?” I ask.

West knows who I mean without mentioning them by name. The foundation comes when called no matter what time of night or day it is.

“I made the call. They’ll be here. Until then why don’t we get started? I’d hate to be here when the sun starts to come up.” West says.

“You have more important plans?”

The question comes from Haven, shocking not only me but the rest of us. Oakley snickers but manages to look away for breaking out into a full on laugh. West moves forward an inch while G and Havoc just stare at the two fucking kids. I don’t hear what West says. Instead I move to drag Addington to his feet, I bend to grab the shovel, and jam it into his chest. Grunting he doubles over to take the force without a fight.

“Dig.”

His eyes dilate in fear. Finally.

By the time the hole is halfway done three figures begin walking towards us from the corner of the field. Even in the shadows the twins mirror each other making my skin crawl. Addington pauses his movements.

“Keep digging.” I snap, forcing my foot into the back of his knee.
