“We will never get to be in-laws, and if we do, your sick brother will fucking kill me.” She whisper-yells. “I can take just about anything, but I will not take him hitting me.”
“He did what?”
“He’s too rough,” she winces. “And it’s not even a kink, babe, it’s straight abuse. He is fucking sick, you’re fucking sick.”
“Stop it.”
“It’s true, you’re both worse off than Aeliana. I’m done playing this game,” she huffs. “There is no way in hell our sister pact will hold. I think it's time you realised that, stop feeding me delusions.”
“Seraphine, shut up,” I warn. I don’t know what has gotten into her, but she’s very annoying. She seems to have gained consciousness overnight, but she’s choosing the wrong day and person to inform.
“I’m tired, Audrey.” She swallows. “Him trying to cut my skin is the last straw!”
So that’s what this is about, my brother having a weird kink? How would I have known? And besides, she is the one who wanted him, and now that I helped her get him, she’s yelling at me? “Forget him, I have another brother. You just wanted that one,” I remind her.
“I don’t want anyone else in your family,” she huffs. “I just want to live a peaceful life now.”
I pause, an eyebrow raised at her. “Are you saying I’m stealing your peace? Me?” I point to myself.
“What? No.” She vigorously shakes her head. “Never. I love you,” she flashes me a fake smile. “You’re my best friend, we have so much fun together, we have something special, Drey. And I wish it were enough, but you keep wanting to go after her.”
It’s not that I want to go after Aeliana, it's that she doesn’t know her place, she’s up on her high horse, and all I do is help her get down. Aeliana will never be with Kingston or anyone else for as long as I’m alive. “Why does she get to be happy?”
“She isn’t happy, trust me.” Sera sighs. “Ellie is far from happy. She looks sad. You should have seen her face when they drove away. Even you would have felt sorry for her.” She gulps, her gaze low.
She has lost her mind.
I push her, “Sera, what is wrong with you?”
“I don’t want to die,” she swallows. “If Alpha Kingston finds out I lied, he will kill me, and she won’t care enough to stop him when it's me.”
