“What. The. Fuck,” I growled slowly.

Deadly. Viciously.

My ears still rang from the shot he fired. The one that whizzed right past my ear, deafening me, and embedded itself straight into the wall before us. I glared at the hole, the thought of the fact it could have been in my skull turned me deadly as I turned around to face Dom. The boys looked stricken as they stepped back with agape mouths.

“What. The. Fuck,” I reiterated again. Because the more times, I said it aloud, the more chance that fucker had of surviving.

“I asked you a question, and you answered. Given your history, I had to test that answer to be sure it was truthful,” he declared proudly. His slick brown hair, brushed back and parted at the side, glistened under the lights.

He looked put together but rough.

That was his style.

Mine was just fucking rough and right now, rough was all I wanted to be.

“You could have killed me!” I groused low and slow as it came out through clenched teeth. Controlled. Because I was about to go nuclear, and killing my girl’s father would be a sure way to get her to remove my heart and eat it.

“If it was for her, would it have mattered?” he questioned and the answer fell with ease.

“Not in the slightest,” I admitted, then I sighed as I needed more than anything to be only fighting one battle at a time. “Look, I never asked for this, Dom. But I won’t give it up either. I only feel alive when I’m around her. The darkness of my sins shines like the night sky, lit by the moon illuminating the abyss and I no longer feel so violated by them. We have lived a long life, brother. Don’t I deserve a little bit of peace?” I asked, bone weary and tired to my core. I never wanted to lose the only family I had ever known, but to live in misery was to live as a dead man walking. I no longer wanted to live for those around me but for myself, just fucking once.

“You deserve the world, Reg. You always have. My daughter just isn’t it. I won’t approve of this union. She deserves a man who would sacrifice it all for her. Who would fight against the odds so she has that one, single, glorified moment where she feels like she has been chosen above the world and not just settled on. Mia always used to tell me that was the greatest feeling of all. Feeling like she was worthy because I gave the world up just to hold her in my arms. I chose her over everything. You never chose Lara. You walked away. For four fucking years, you turned your back on the very woman you claim to love. I always thought you a man of your word, I guess I was wrong.”

Something dark inside of me reared its ugly head at that statement. Mainly because he was right.
