My buddy appeared fatigued in the moonlight. He had bags under his eyes like he hadn’t slept or anything, and that had to be a joke.

He’d slept with my girl.

Noa Sloane was mine, mine, and regardless of what she was up to. In fact, since she had betrayed me, that only made it more so.

I controlled her. I owned her. Her fate and what happened to her was mine to decide.

Mine.

The haze hit me after that, fucking blind, and I saw myself unravel from a bird’s-eye view. It was like I was out of my body when I tossed my jacket on the lawn.

It was the same when I hit my friend.

I clocked him clear across the jaw, and it was like he’d let me. He stood there, like he was ready to just fucking take it. The second time I reared back, he just blocked, and that only pissed me off.

“Fight back!” I spat at him, and when he blocked me this time, we went down. We tumbled on the lawn, me throwing punches and him just blocking them.

“I’m not going to fight you!” He roared, guarding his face. “D, I won’t fight you.”

He should. He’d been bold enough. He’d betrayed me today. He’d betrayed all of us.

“I don’t want her like that,” he called, and hearing the words only unfurled more rage through my veins. I shouldn’t care if he wanted her or not. He’d admitted he was playing her for information. Maybe that was this, and I definitely shouldn’t care about that. If anything, I should be celebrating it, get off on it even.

My vision red, I threw a fist so hard I questioned if I broke my hand and my buddy’s jaw, and at this point, Wolf grabbed my shirt. “Stop it. It’s not like that with her.”

He said that, but he was lying, lying. I’d seen him with her with my own two eyes. The two had had a fucking pajama party. Noa’s shorts had barely covered her ass, and Wolf’s hair was all over the fucking place like when he screwed bitches in the computer lab. They liked to put their hands all through it.

She’d put her hands through it.

In my distraction, Wolf got me off him, taking his own corner and holding up his hand. His face was already changing color on the right side. “Dorian…”

“You betrayed us,” I snarled. “You betrayed me, your boy, knowing she’s with my grandfather.”

“You don’t know that.”

“And you do?”

His gaze fell to the ground, his hands in the grass. “I don’t, but…”

“No.”

His head shot up.

My mouth dried. “You don’t, but it definitely didn’t stop you from going after her, you fucking asshole—”

“You’re one to talk about betrayal.” His nostrils flared. Eyes wild, they cut in my direction. He put a finger out. “You’re one to talk about people going behind people’s backs.”

“The fuck you talking about—”

“You brought this bullshit into our lives, Dorian.” He raised and dropped his hand. “You brought your grandfather in when you fucking knew better. You knew.”

I bared teeth. “I didn’t have a choice.”

“You didn’t give any of us one.” His expression sobered. “And now, we all have to worry about it. You, me, and the guys. Your mom and dad?” Wolf shook his head. “And Sloane. Sloane and her brother could be victims in all this, but you’re too fucking blind to see it.”

He’d said something like this before, standing up for her. My throat tightened. “Well, if you don’t want her so bad, why do you keep coming to bat for her, then?”

He forced fingers into his hair. “I just don’t want her hurt. She can’t get hurt. She…” He stopped on his own accord.
