Chapter Seven

Kennedy

“Noooooooooo!” Tito yells as he grabs a chunk of his blond hair and nearly rips it out of his head. “I don’t want to move!”

“What do you mean we have to move?” Caleb says as he jumps up from the table.

Maximus sighs. “I don’t know how else to explain it. We have to leave the ranch and find somewhere else to live.”

Caleb raises an eyebrow. “Or what?”

“Or the dragons will kill us,” Maximus says flatly.

“They can try,” Kneecap says, grinding his knuckles into his palm.

“They won’t have to try very hard,” Ronin says, looking defeated. “Unfortunately, I’m not fireproof.”

“I’m not afraid of a little fire,” Kneecap grunts.

“But my brother,” Abigail says as she stares at the food on her plate. “I won’t be able to see him again.”

My stomach churns as I watch them. I wonder if they blame me like I blame myself.

“It’s going to be okay,” Caleb says as he puts his arm around his mate. “He can come visit us wherever we go.”

Everyone is quiet for a minute as their thoughts race about the uncertain future. Maximus called everyone home for lunch and broke the news as everyone ate. Well, as almost everyone ate. My stomach is so upset that I haven’t eaten a bite.

“Where are we going to go, Max?” Lachlan asks, looking sick.

I know how much this is hurting Maximus. They all love this town to death and he feels like it’s his fault that they have to leave. He thinks that he’s the one letting them all down.

Everyone turns to him, but I can tell that he doesn’t have any answers. He’s lived in this town his whole life and it’s all he knows.

“My parents will let us stay on their farm for a week,” Caleb says. “Maybe two. We’ll have to live in the barn though.”

“As long as I get to sleep between these two teddy bears,” Zoe says, wrapping an arm around each of her mates, “then I’ll be just fine.”

“It will be okay, Max,” Lachlan says as he stands up from the picnic table. He slaps a hand down on his alpha’s shoulder and squeezes it. “We have each other and that’s all we need, right guys?”

“That’s right,” Ronin says, nodding along with everyone.

“We’ll be fine,” Nora adds. “It’s just a minor setback.”

It’s so nice to see the love they have for each other, but I feel strange standing here and witnessing it. I’m not one of them. If things had turned out differently, I’d be the happiest and most enthusiastic member of the crew, but I’m an outsider and I feel like I’m intruding.

“Those dragons and their fucking rules,” Tito says, pounding the table with his fist. “Why do they get to decide who stays and who goes?”

“I’ve never liked those brothers,” Lachlan says, shaking his head. “I always suspected they had ulterior motives.”

Maximus looks at him and nods. “Kennedy was able to steal this from their safe,” he says as he pulls out the USB stick.

Everyone turns to me with looks of shock and admiration on their faces.
