Chapter Twenty

Conner

"Where the hell have you been?" Cole barks, inviting himself into my room only seconds after I crash through the door.

"Fuck off," I grunt. I don't need to look at him to know that his brows are pulled together in concern. Unlike my twin, who's tried—and succeeded—to do it time and time again, I've never shut him out. Not like this.

Part of it is to do with the colossal secret he kept about Charlie, but as each day passes, I realize I care less about that. That cunt needed wiping off the face of the Earth, so really, Cole did us all a favor—I kinda wish he'd go pull the same stunt on Warren, if I'm being honest. Right now, I just don't want to talk about it. I don't want them knowing what risk I'm putting us all at because I can't stay away from Kennedy, because of my need to ensure she's safe. I don't want him or any of them to look at me with disappointed eyes because I couldn't last a few days, especially when I know for a fact that they wouldn't be able to do it either.

"I was out," I seethe, dropping to the end of my bed with my back still to him. I rub my hand down my face but almost instantly regret it.

I can still smell her.

Images of our time together hit me. The devastation on her face when she saw the condom. I'd hurt her with that move. I knew there was a chance I would, but we had to. I also knew that there was no way I couldn't properly make her mine once more. No more fucked-up rough sex against a tree. I needed her to know that everything I'd said to her was real, that beneath my anger was still me. Even if it seems harder and harder to find myself these days.

"Conner," he sighs, correctly assuming where I was. "You're going to get us all locked up or killed."

"It won't come to that."

"Are you sure? James seems pretty concerned, and nothing ever rattles that motherfucker."

"Yeah. I'm fucking sure. Now, are you done?"

"No, James has been looking for you all night. He wants us all in his office."

"Brilliant. Let's fucking go then. Call Ace," I demand, storming past him, shoulder checking him as I head for Dad's office.

"Nice," Cole barks after me. "I was merely the messenger."

Shaking my head, I ignore him and continue forward, storming into Dad's office much as Cole had to me only minutes ago.

"Tell me you have good news." I fall down onto his couch and stare at our father.

“Conner,” he seethes, his voice low and slightly terrifying. “I explicitly told you to stay out of the Heights. Where were you tonight?”

I’ve never seen him angry, and the fact that he’s not shouting right now makes the whole thing even more scary.

This is the man who knows everyone’s secrets. Who apparently lives his life on the dark side.

“I’m pretty sure you already
