South
I lie in Sherieâs bed, the whole shit show with Jaxon running through my head. Why didnât I just finish the fucker off? At least then I would know he was dead. Fuck knows what Xander and Margaret are going to do with him. Feed him to the fucking pigs, I hope.
Iâve never been open and honest with anyone like I have been with Sherie tonight, and I thought it would scare me shitless, but I feel relieved. She might understand why I behave the way I do. I am not really the bastard I want everyone to believe I am.
But shooting someone like Jaxon doesnât even make me flinch. Not when he threatens my family. Regardless of what happens between me and Sherie, she is family and always will be.
When West and I were young, Dad used to take us hunting. It was not a sport either of us were keen on, and we donât do it anymore. One weekend, Dad took us to a park somewhere in America. I donât remember which one or where it wasâwe were only young, maybe about seven or eight. We stayed in a wooden hut at the base of the mountain. We had been warned about bears, but as it wasnât breeding season, Dad wasnât too concerned.
We were all asleep in bed when I heard a noise, and when I got out of bed to go and look, I was expecting to see a grizzly bear. What I didnât expect was an axe-wielding maniac who was ready to chop us all up for dinner. My shouts alerted my dad, but they also made the crazy guy even crazier. I grabbed a rifle from the table and pointed it straight at his chest. The guy laughedâ he fucking laughed at meâso I shot him in the groin. When the police came, they said they had been after him for months and that we had all escaped a nasty death. My dad took the credit for injuring him, and West took the credit for tying him up. Me, I was told I was very brave to shout for help.
I was so pissed off, but mostly because Iâd aimed for his dick. Thatâs why I always go for the dick. Itâs also retribution for their crimes. I have this overwhelming need to make sure I get the shot on target.
I must fall into a deep sleep because when I wake, I find a cold empty bed.
âSherie?â I yell, panicked. Somethingâs happened.
âDown here!â she shouts back.
So, I jump out of bed and run down the stairs. Naked. And I wish to fucking god she had added that we had visitors. My mother, Kara, Sutton, West, and North all stand there staring.
Fuck.
I turn quickly and run back upstairs two at a time. Why the hell didnât she tell me they were here? Now, theyâll know we slept in the same fucking bed or theyâll at least know sheâs seen me naked before. How am I going to explain this? Fuck, fuck, fuck.
