Chapter 472
Good luck guessing, Idds. I didn’t expect them to call me Auntle
“Claire,” Victoria said, so much disdain in the name that I was a little offended. Sure, she had taken the blame for one of my failed plans, but that didn’t mean she needed to hold it against me. After all, it was because she was exiled that she got to truly low my brother, mating him and having his children.
Really, she should be thanking me.
Instead, she looked like she wanted to tear me to pieces.
“Ethan, get her out of here,” Victoria sald.
“Is that any way to greet an old friend?” I asked. “I want to meet the children.”
“Absolutely not,” Victoria said, steeping forward. She ushered her children toward the stairs, “To your bedrooms. Now.”
“But, Mom, who is she?” the boy asked.
“None of your concern. Now go.” Victoria didn’t seem confident the children would listen to her, because she followed them upstairs, not even saying anything else to me.
Rude.
Ethan watched them go, but then turned to me. “Come in and sit down.”
I followed my brother into the living room but did not join him on that couch. It was dirty with a few mystery stains. There was no way I was putting my person down upon that.
“I’ll stand, thanks,” I said.
Ethan sighed. “You really haven’t changed, even after everything.”
“Why should I have to change?” I asked.
“Because you are impossible,” he said. “You are my sister and I love you. But this ‘my way or the highway’ attitude of yours isn’t going to make it here. Rogues look out for each other. It’s how we survive here.”
I shrugged. “Well, it’s simple. You look out for me, and I’ll be fine.”
He looked down and shook his head. “No, Claire. Not this time. I have my own family to watch out for. If you can’t carry your own weight around here, I’m not going to shield you. If you do get out of your own stubborn. head and help the rogues, then I will. Get it?”
He would come around. He had to. I was his sister after all, and he’d already given me ultimatums before, which he broke. If I gave him enough time, he’d come around.
Ethan looked at me, some pain in his eyes. “I think you should leave. This was a mistake.”
“You can’t kick me out,” I scoffed.
“I can,” Ethan said. “And I am.”
