I was angry when Vadim was taken away from me. So fucking angry. The kind of rage and hatred that eats its way inside you until it poisons your very soul. An anger to be drowned in chemicals and strangers and violence.
Those were dark daysâeven darker for anyone who had the misfortune of even looking at me the wrong way. There was a solid month where I disappeared and almost went feral. It was my sisters, Lizbet and Mara, who finally found me: half-dead, a near-lethal amount of cocaine up my nose, holed up in the Presidential Suite of The Plaza. It was them who got me cleaned up and back to society.
And still, as angry as I was back then?
Itâs not touching the rage I feel surging through my system like sizzling hot lead as I gaze at the girl sleeping in the hospital bed in front of me.
My hand reaches out, curling around Eilishâs small, still one as my jaw grits so hard it hurts.
I hate that I wasnât there. I hate that I wasted ten long minutes pacing outside the front of that goddamn bar, dreaming up creative ways to punish her for deciding to thumb her nose at me. I walked back in expecting to see her flipping me off with another drink in her hand. Instead, I saw her friendsâCalliope Drakos and that other girl, Dahlia, from school.
No Eilish.
I combed through the place. I checked both bathrooms before noticing the back door to the place was ajar. Thatâs when I found her, bleeding and unconscious on the ground.
My body tenses up so hard I quickly snatch my hand away from hers before I accidentally crush it.
When I find those responsible for doing this to her, theyâll beg for hell. Iâll make a fucking Olympic sport of skinning them fucking alive inch by fucking inch.
Iâm going to avenge her, I vow to myself as my eyes trace the softness of her cheek, marred by an ugly bruise.
Behind me, the door to the hospital room bangs open with a crash. When I whirl, I come face to face with a terrified-looking Neve Kildare. She skids to a stop as she realizes itâs me, suddenly very confused, and her expression when she looks at me is dangerous.
âNeve,â I growl quietly, dipping my head.
Her throat bobs heavily, her nostrils flaring before she deftly pushes past me. She takes Eilishâs hand in her own, her shoulders hitching as she brings her sisterâs hand to her lips. After taking another shaky breath, she glances back at me.
The room is silent except for the hum of the air conditioning and the steady beeps from Eilishâs heart monitor. Both of us are keenly aware the dark history between our families. Neveâs clearly weighing that dark history against the current need to make sure her sister is okay.
âWhat happened a few months ago between our families wasâ¦regrettable,â I murmur quietly. âAnd I hope itâs been made clear how much of that was the fault of my former captain, Leo.
