Chapter 17

I stood there in horror, not wanting to believe what I’d just done. I slowly turned to Aiden whose thoughts were a cloud of confusion. “I pulled out before…”

I looked at Dave who was in just as much shock as Aiden then turned to the crowd, praying there was an explanation out there for what had happened. But all I was met with were frightened eyes. Then the crowd quickly began to disappear fearing that calling a conference was all a trick and that they were next on the list of next gens we were going to wipe out. They didn’t know why we would do that after insisting they lay low but they weren’t willing to stick around and find out. We weren’t to be trusted and they were going to do what they thought was right, not what we told them was right.

Bringing his arm over my chest from behind, Aiden pulled me against him. Then turned me in his arms and held my head close against his chest as the last of the people left. “I’m taking her home,” Aiden said to Dave.

“Ah, yeah, okay,” he replied. “We’ll clean up here then meet you back at the house.”

Tears slipped from my eyes as I listened to the thoughts of the remaining next gens. None of them wanted to believe what I’d done but they’d seen it first hand and Anna’s mind was the worst. She feared that Tyson and Mrs. Carson were next and whether she should have them moved to somewhere I didn’t know about, but it would be pointless because all I needed to do was go into her mind and I’d know their location or just transport to them. I was uncontrollable.

Aiden kissed the top of my head as we phased out. A moment later we landed on the floor of our latest bedroom. He guided me over to the bed and gently eased me down so I was sitting with my back on the pillows. Aiden then climbed in next to me and pulled me into his arms, letting my tears fall without saying a word. He knew that I needed time to process what had happened and if he was honest with himself, he needed that time as well.

What felt like an eternity but was more like five minutes later, I tilted my head up so I could look at him. “I didn’t… I pulled back before…”

He drew my head against his chest and stroked my hair. “It’s okay.” Aiden kissed the top of my head. “We don’t have to do this now.”

Seeing with his own eyes what I’d done, Aiden still thought there had to be a logical explanation.

I closed my eyes as my mind reeled with images of the mans death, the pain I’d put him through and how I’d moved one step closer to becoming my father. I had let his crimes consume me and was so focused on seeking revenge for the women he’d hurt, but I never thought—or wanted to, kill him.
