(Roman)

I’ve been sitting with my front door open for hours, waiting for him to leave. West left a few hours ago but I wasn’t interested in what he had to say. It’s midafternoon when her front door finally opens, and he shuts it behind him quietly, which tells me she is sleeping.

Good.

When he finally turns around, he stops at my presence, but the look in his eyes tells me he’s not surprised to see me. I don’t stand, I just hold my hands out in question. He raises his eyebrow at me, forcing me to push, Luna must have picked it up off him too.

“Fine,” I sigh, “Did you ever consider giving me a heads up? I was having Kai run checks on her and we kept coming up with nothing, I assume that is because of you? I thought there was an imposter.”

A simple nod is all I get.

“Does she have any idea what she’s walked into here?”

“No Roman, she doesn’t, and if we tell her too much all at once she’ll snap, she needs baby steps okay?”

“Have you not seen the state she is in? Nobody around here gives a fuck what she needs and you’re leaving her blind-sided,” I fume, he’s so fucking stupid.

“Roman, I’m warning you. You keep your mouth shut, this is more than all of us and you damn well know it. I trained her with everything, gave her all the skills she will need.”

“All the skills Rafe? What about her fucking mind? What about how you feel after you kill someone for the first time? Or that fact that she’ll have to continue to do so to save herself, huh? This is going to blacken her soul just like the rest of us.” I growl through my teeth.

He looks to the ceiling, like he might find some answers there, but he fucking won’t.

He can’t answer me, because he knows I’m right, but there is nothing any of us can do about it. Not yet anyway.

“She needs to rest right now. A lot will be going on with your skill-based assignments in the next few weeks. That’ll be hard enough for everybody, but it will hopefully take some of the heat off her. For now, that’s all we can do.”

He means do nothing.

Fuck.

I nod in understanding.

He holds a moment then makes to take the stairs, but I call him before he leaves, having him glance back at me.

“Is that really her? Meu Tesouro?” my voice barely above a whisper, memories floating in my mind.

“Yeah, she likely won’t remember though, she doesn’t remember West. When she saw her father die Roman, she locked those first six years of her sweet life, away. I see her shut herself down when a memory tries to float to the surface, it causes her a lot of pain. So, don’t expect her to remember that you were chasing her around even as babies okay?” He lightly chuckles, trying to make light of the situation.

I close my door without responding.
