“Do you know what you do in rehab?”
My heart dropped when Mason smiled.
“You think.” The rage burning in his green eyes reminded me of something.
Big doe like eyes filled with malice and lust.
“Fuck, you feel good.”
“So you see, I’ve had a lot of time to think about ways to destroy your friend.”
Mason’s threat pulled me back, making my fists ball. “You leave Harper alone!”
“No.” He cocked his head and smirked, “But if you stop ignoring Parker, I won’t concentrateallmy efforts on her.”
“If you do anything…”
“You can count on me doing something.” He took a step forward, causing me to take one back.
Leave Lana, leave now. It’s happening again.
“How bad it is, all depends on you.”
“You have other things to worry about,” Micha added.
I turned my glare on him and snarled, “Such as?”
“The DNA of the baby you’re carrying.”
I stopped. That was exactly what I was worried about.
Dim moonlight…
Sweaty, heavy grunts…
“I-I’m not afraid of Parker.”
“But you should be afraid of big brother.”
And just like that, my heart went from thundering in my chest, to stopping altogether. Anyone who wasn’t afraid of Preston Whitley was just plain stupid. Thinking about that cold, dead stare was enough to make my blood run cold.
“What do you think he’s more likely to do? Play happy little match maker and help you two patch things up?” Micha stepped into a beam of sunlight streaming through the bleachers above, and smirked. “Or wait until he can cut that baby out of you and toss your body off a cliff?”
I licked my lips and forced the lump of nervousness down my throat. What would the master of death do if he found out? What would happen to me? My eyes snapped up to Micha as I sucked in a shocked breath.
What would happen to him?
He was so drunk that night, he didn’t remember doing it. It would kill him if he did, not to mention what the Knights would do to him. Which was precisely why I hadn’t talked to Parker. If this baby wasn’t his… Let’s just say, I had good reason to believe the rumors I heard.
“Parker is the only thing standing between you and death. You really want to give up that lifeline?”
Staring back at Micha Kessler’s dark eyes, I could feel the inevitable march of Death, riding in on his pale horse. If this got out, there was only one conclusion. None of which were good for Sean.
Chapter 4
Parker
Lana didn’t show up for lunch, so Sean sent the team out to find her. He wasn’t taking the rumors well. I suppose I wouldn’t either, if the supposed pregnant girl was Ava. In fact, I’d probably string the motherfucker up. That wasn’t something I had to worry about with my sister, Ryker took that ability away from her. If I could string him up, I would. Lana wasn’t Sean’s sister, but she may as well be. Honestly, I was kind of jealous of the fucker. He got to take her to daddy-daughter dances, and the spring luncheon, when we were in middle school.
