CHAPTER 9

My attention is on the floor as I follow behind the guys. We make our way out of the dining room in formation, with me heading up the tail end of the line. I don’t go as far as putting my hands behind my back, but what the fuck ever, they should just be happy they’re getting this.

Especially at this moment, where I’m as much of a mess as I am.

Two days. That’s all it’s taken them to knock me off my horse and turn my entire world upside down. And not just them, either. I’m also talking about the new addition—Trevor. The love of my goddamn life that said he’d rather see me dead than here.

Still don’t know what he means by that, and I have an inkling that I never will. Trevor has always been a solitary person, even when we were together. However, I never—not for one moment in time—thought that what we had was nothing.

It was everything.

Just having Trevor by my side got me through some terrible times, the death of my mother and all that followed being the worst. I’m not even going to say the night Joaquin branded and took me against my will, because even that night didn’t pain me as much as my life did several months later.

I lost everything—had to build my way from the ground up, repairing cracks and fractures in my soul just to be able to function.

Trevor was there for every single second. Well, every moment that he didn’t have to be out here, doing God knows what with … No. I know what he was doing. He was being trained for this very job.

Joaquin probably did this to get a sense of sick satisfaction out of forcing two exes’ together—one of which still, even now, has a small bit of love for the other. It’s not like I can just turn it off, either. For me, our relationship was real. He’s the one that took my virginity; the person I trusted with my life when I had no one else to turn to.

People like him is also the reason why women like me put this invisible protective layering around us. He’s the threat you don’t see coming, and that’s because you don’t suspect there to be any problem. He legit came out of nowhere, as nothing to me, and swiftly became so much more.

As we exit into the foyer, both Chaz and Dorran fan out around Brett. My eyes barely flick up at them, before they’re once more falling back to the floor. They act like geese flying to the south for winter, in the shape of a triangle and everything.

You know, scientist say that the reason geese fly in a formation like that is to stop from having so much resistance, and that the bird flying at the front of the pack is the strongest. I don’t know how much of that is true, but I do know one thing—these guys may have grown up together, but that doesn’t mean they trust one another.
