“Not again,” I mutter to myself.
“You think you can stop me from killing him?” he screams.
Suddenly, Apollo pulls him off me and drags him away. “I thought I told you to fucking lay off. I’m gonna have to fucking teach you a lesson now.”
“Fucking bring it! I’ll chop off your fucking arm!” Silas pulls another knife from his pocket.
Where the fuck does he keep pulling out even more knives? How many does he even have?
Fuck, her brother is even more of an obsessive psycho than I am.
He stabs Apollo in the arm, but it doesn’t even seem to faze him. Apollo snatches the knife out of his hand and thrusts it into Silas’s hip, who howls out in pain.
“Fuck you!”
Ivy jumps on Apollo’s back and punches him in the shoulder. “Don’t fucking hurt him!”
But Apollo drags her off him with just a single hand and throws her onto the ground.
Heath rushes out the door and punches Apollo square in the face. “Don’t fucking touch my girl!”
BANG!
I jolt up and down and look up at Max shooting the ground near the three of them, but they don’t even pay attention to him, so he tosses the gun away and bolts at them.
They all start fighting again, and I crawl away to get out of the mess, when suddenly I spot a motorcycle and a bunch of cars all headed toward us.
My eyes widen. “What the fuck—That looks like—”
“Oh, fuck no,” Max murmurs, while Heath, Apollo, Silas, and Ivy briefly stop punching each other just to look up at the road. “It’s my mom.”
CHAPTER 64
Apollo
Silas laughs out loud. “You thought I was gonna call the family for backup?” His teeth gleam. “No bitch, I sent them a picture of the carnage.”
“What?!” Max screams as he gets up, hands in his hair. “Oh no, this is bad. This is so fucking bad.”
Ivy looks around. “Wait, where’s Levi?”
“Away from Silas,” Grey says. “Safe.”
“You think you can keep him away from me? I’ll fucking hunt that fucker down like I always have,” Silas growls, attempting to attack Grey, but I keep him at bay with a single hand. “I’ll kill anyone who tries to get in my way!”
“Exactly why I can’t let you,” I say.
“Get your filthy fucking hands off me,” Silas growls back.
If he keeps going on like this, I’m going to pummel him through the walls of this rickety house.
“Why the fuck are we letting Levi off the hook, and why are you protecting him?” Xavier asks. “He hurt her!”
I furrow my brows at him. “You don’t know anything. Shut up.”
“Well, I would if someone would fucking tell me! All I know is a violent killer was just shoved into a car, and my sister drove off with him,” Xavier shouts.
“We gotta get out of here, now,” Max mutters, nearly ripping out his own hair. “Oh God. If my mom finds out you tortured Levi, she’s gonna kill you.”
“That’s the whole fucking point!” Silas grins.
“You got a death wish or something?” Heath asks.
I pull Silas closer, hissing right up in his face, “You did this. You messaged his mom. Why?”
Silas pulls his phone from his pocket and shows me the message, along with the picture he sent of Levi covered in blood from the wounds he gave him, like a proud son of a bitch. “I didn’t just fucking send it to her. I sent it to everyone.”
“Fuck,” Heath growls.
Silas bursts out into laughter. “I sent that to the whole fucking family, my own included. My mother is going to kill you all for trying to get in my way.”
The motorcycle shoots across the road and stops near us, screeching wildly. Levi’s mom, Lana, raises her visor. “Where is he?” Her voice sounds deranged. Like she could just about knife us all down if we don’t respond swiftly enough. “Where is my son?”
When she locks eyes with Silas, Ivy, Max, and Heath immediately jump in front of him.
“You …” she hisses, and she pulls a butcher’s knife from her bag that makes all of our eyes widen collectively.
Suddenly, two more cars skid across the road, stopping right in front of the bike when Lana was about to hop off and swing her knife. Levi’s dad, Kai, Milo, and Nathan all jump out to stop her from flinging it at Silas while she roars out loud.
What a fucking nice-ass family reunion.
“What did you do to my son?”
“Levi’s gone, Mom,” Max says.
“Shut your damn mouth,” I growl at him.
Kai’s eyes widen. “Gone, as in…”
“You MURDERER!” Lana shoves them all aside and aims at Silas, but Ivy grabs him and ducks for cover. The blade flies past them and strikes the ground.
“He’s not dead!” I scream over the ruckus.
Kai marches over to me and grabs me by the neck. “Tell me where he is, right now!”
Silas throws out a stifled laugh as he gets up from the ground. “Aspen took him.”
