He grimaces. “Since when is that news?”

“Apollo just called to tell us Levi is missing. Silas probably already took him,” Grey replies.

“Good riddance then,” Xav says, folding his arms. “Mavis deserved better.”

“I’mnotletting Silas kill Levi,” I respond.

“Why not?”

Of course, he’d ask me that.

But could I ever say the truth out loud?

“Because it’s going to unleash a fucking war between the Torreses and your family,” Grey says.

Xavier’s eyes widen.

Grey suddenly locks the doors, sealing us all inside, right as Xav was about to grasp the handle.

“And now that you know what’s going on, you’re not going anywhere except with us.” Grey leans sideways and holds out his hand. “Now give me your phone so you don’t do anything stupid.”

Xav narrows his eyes at him but still does what he says. “Fine. But if you get us fucking killed, I’m haunting your ass.”

Grey sports a half smile. “Get in line.”

Apollo

“God-fucking-dammit!”I scream into the phone, before I chuck it at the school’s wall, right before my sister Cecelia exits the doors.

“Jesus Christ,” she mutters as she picks it up from the ground. “You’re lucky only the screen is cracked and not the whole damn phone.”

“I don’t fucking give a single shit about my phone!” I retort as I stomp to my car.

“Wow, wow, wow, hold up.” She blocks my way. “Tell me what’s going on?”

“Silas is going to torture Levi to instigate a fucking family war,” I growl as I move past her. “I have to find him. Now.”

Her eyes widen. “Holy shit, really?”

“Really,” I say, as I open my car door and sit down behind the wheel. “I don’t have time to waste.”

“Do you know where Levi is?”

“No. Silas probably already took him. But I know a few places to look.” I close my door.

She runs around to the other side. “Wait,” she says, ripping open the passenger door. “I’m coming with you.”

“What the fuck, Sisi? No. You’ll only get in the way.”

“Bullshit.” She puts her seat belt on. “You’re just saying that because you don’t want me to get hurt, but I can handle myself.” She turns my key until the car begins to hum. “Now drive.”

I glance sideways at her cheekiness, but her big smile always makes me roll my eyes. Goddamn princess always knows how to get her way.

“Give me your phone.”

“For what?” Cecelia asks.

“Call your brother.”
