Silas bursts out into laughter. “I sent that to the whole fucking family, my own included. My mother is going to kill you all for trying to get in my way.”

The motorcycle shoots across the road and stops near us, screeching wildly. Levi’s mom, Lana, raises her visor. “Where is he?” Her voice sounds deranged. Like she could just about knifeus all down if we don’t respond swiftly enough. “Where is my son?”

When she locks eyes with Silas, Ivy, Max, and Heath immediately jump in front of him.

“You …” she hisses, and she pulls a butcher’s knife from her bag that makes all of our eyes widen collectively.

Suddenly, two more cars skid across the road, stopping right in front of the bike when Lana was about to hop off and swing her knife. Levi’s dad, Kai, Milo, and Nathan all jump out to stop her from flinging it at Silas while she roars out loud.

What a fucking nice-ass family reunion.

“What did you do to my son?”

“Levi’s gone, Mom,” Max says.

“Shut your damn mouth,” I growl at him.

Kai’s eyes widen. “Gone, as in…”

“You MURDERER!” Lana shoves them all aside and aims at Silas, but Ivy grabs him and ducks for cover. The blade flies past them and strikes the ground.

“He’snotdead!” I scream over the ruckus.

Kai marches over to me and grabs me by the neck. “Tell me where he is, right now!”

Silas throws out a stifled laugh as he gets up from the ground. “Aspen took him.”

“Where?” Kai grits.

“Don’t look at me,” I reply with a smug smile. “Unless you wanna start a fight with your nephew.”

He releases me again and homes in on Silas. “Tell me where he is!”

“You think she’d tell me?” Silas growls back.

Lana roars out loud and fishes out another knife. “That’s it. This ends now.”

Xavier, Heath, and Ivy stand in front of Silas, while Nathan and Milo back up Kai and Lana, pulling out their knives and guns.

“I’ve let this shit go on for far too long. You think you can just hurt my family without repercussions?” Kai growls.

“Motherfucker, try to hurt him, and I’ll gut you like a fish,” Heath growls back.

“Stay out of this, Heath,” Nathan growls at him.

“No. Ivy loves him, and I won’t let you fucking harm anyone she loves,” he replies.

“Max, get out of here, now,” Milo tells him.

“Nuh-uh,” Max says, blocking access to Silas too. “I’m with them.”

This thing is going to go sour real quick.

Right as Lana attempts an attack, more cars race up the mountain with screeching tires. Too late, because the fight has already broken out. They’re tearing each other from limb to limb.

“Motherfuckers,” I growl, watching them fight it out like animals, and I jump in just to keep them from cutting each other to pieces. I love a good brawl, but this isn't one of them.

I snatch a knife out of Nathan’s hand and chuck it away, and he punches me in the face for it.
