Chapter 15

Outside in the damp morning air and among the ancient trees, I glared at the back of my brother’s head. Of all the moments for Sin to decide to show up, it had to be now.

Sin tipped his head back and laughed. “That’s a pretty little piece of ass you got there. Are you sharing—?”

I snapped my brother’s neck.

Just like that—two hands on either side of the head and then twist, crack, crackle, pop, and all that jazz. Sin hit the ground, reduced to nothing more than a twitching heap.

In the few blissful seconds of silence, I leaned against the tree, and while I waited, I tried to remember the exact number of times I’d broken Sin’s neck. Twenty or more? Definitely more.

Sin’s body began to blur and darken as it lost all shape. Dark essence swirled over the ground, rising up. Thick tendrils of smoke spread out, reaching the lower branches. As they came into contact, the leaves withered to a lifeless brown.

Show-off.

The hazy smoke receded, revealing my brother’s true form for a moment. As Sin turned, the liquidlike movement hid the predator beneath the grace.

Then Sin slipped into his human skin. “What. The. Fuck. Hunter?”

“I can’t help myself whenever I’m around you. It’s like a habit.”

“Well, break the fucking habit, because that hurts. Jesus.” Sin took a step back, straightening his shirt. “If you weren’t my brother…”

“You’d what? Annoy me to death?” I pushed off the tree, getting right up in his face. “Or do you think you can actually take me?”

Sin laughed. “Do you think you can take me? You don’t feed on Luxen anymore. You are weak. I could kick your ass clear across this godforsaken planet.”

“Oh, is that what you think?”

“It’s what I know. You’ve become nothing but the DOD’s little bitch boy. Doing their favors while the Luxen continue to thrive! Is that why that woman’s in your cabin? I bet it does have something to do with them. The DOD says jump and what does Hunter say?”

I twisted halfway, laughing under my breath, and then whirled back. Grabbing Sin by the neck, I flipped him over. His heavy body hit the tree with such force several branches fell to the ground.

I flew into Sin’s face, digging my fingers deep into his throat. “Hunter says kiss my ass.”

Sin held up his hands, choking out a laugh. “Oh, so Hunter has fed recently, hasn’t he? I doubt that female could give you that kind of power. If so, can I have a taste—just a little, and while I’m at it, can I fuck her?”

I slammed Sin’s head back against the tree hard enough to crack a skull, but my goddamn brother just laughed. “You never knew when to shut up.”

“And you never had the balls to do what’s right,” Sin spat back.

Letting go, I took a step back before I did something I regretted. There were times when I wanted to kill my brother—this was one of them—but Sin was my family. We shared the same blood, the same history.
