Chapter 13: The Bennet-Winchesters

Grayson Bennet

It’s day three since the bombshell announcement to Carson Donovan and yet all is quiet on the eastern front. I must admit after seeing the look of venomous hatred in Carson’s eyes, I’d have thought the attack would be swift, brutal, and merciless. But so far, nothing.

Regardless, we’re not letting our guard down. We await an attack from any direction. It could be in the form of economic warfare, a character assassination through the media, a good old-fashioned car bomb, or two bullets to the back of the head.

I’ve got twenty of my guys guarding the house, while the other half remain at the camp training the recruits. If we need backup, they’ll come running.

Tomorrow, Abigail will make the same announcement to the entire council and then we’ll wait for a few more tiny bombs to go off. For now, it’s a waiting game.

It’s best to keep busy with the regular business of the day. I check my watch. Sebastian Petrosky should be all settled in by now. True to his word, he’s sent a list of ex-Spetsnaz ready to join the team. I just hope they’ll stick around even if Petrosky washes out. I know his heart’s in it, but I can’t expect a businessman with no military training to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the most elite soldiers the world has produced. Bratva or not.

I even considered asking him to merely function in the capacity of their captain without the need to actually go through all the grueling training. I figured it would let him save face.

But he caught onto what I was implying and wouldn’t hear of it. So, I’m forced to let him do this the hard way.

As I descend the stairs of our house, my cell rings.

Damn it, Liam! Now what?

I answer, “Yeah, what is it?”

“Gray, what have you done?” Liam’s voice is tight with simmering tension. “Cathy and her daughter are in the hospital in critical condition. I don’t think they’re going to make it.”

“Wait, what are you talking about?” I pause as I reach the bottom of the stairs. I’m tempted to laugh it off and ask if Dad put him up to this in a crude attempt to get me in the same room with him. But given our recent dealings with Carson Donovan … this could be legitimate.

“She was driving Tessa to school this morning and a truck hit her dead center and then the bastard took off. I found out from some anonymous caller telling me my sister is at Presbyterian hospital dying, and me and my boys are next.”

“Wait, so it was a phone call. Did you verify? Try reaching Cathy.”

“I’m at the fucking hospital, Gray. I’ve spoken to her god damned doctor. This isn’t a joke!” He shouts like a teacher berating a student. “What the hell is wrong with you, Gray? First, you destroy Dad and now Cathy is dying in the hospital because you’re fucking around with Donovan’s fiancée.”

Just perfect. “What exactly did the
