He made me give up on myself.
And all I can do now is to exist through him.

NATHAN
Golden Boy - Bryce Fox
There’s a bang somewhere in the house. A door slamming, someone stomping.
For a split second, I think we’re under attack. But I added more guards in and out of the property this morning. The Wolves are angry I’m back, taking over Stoneview and its surroundings. Fuck, I’m about to operate on the whole East Coast. It’s only a matter of time before they try to kill me. I would too if I were them. Adding more security to this house is not only to protect me. I don’t want them to get their hands on Kay.
But then a seething voice resonates, and my eyes automatically roll.
“Five months?” The shouting comes from the main entrance. “Five months, Nate?”
I’m in for a long conversation.
“Kayla, baby.”
I hear doors opening and slamming shut. I hear a please, calm down, from Sam.
Kayla stirs between my legs, and I wonder if she’s fallen asleep. I don’t want to move in the same way one wouldn’t when a cat settles on their lap. She’s finally calm, and I don’t want to disturb her peace.
“Kayla,” I insist.
“Mhm?”
“You’re going to want to sit on the sofa for this. It will be long and painful.”
Her head snaps up. “What?”
“Not for you. For me.”
She’s barely up, rubbing her eyes and attempting to tame her black mane when the door to the living room is flung open.
“You’ve been out of prison for five months, you fucking asshole?”
I look back at the door, giving my younger sister a bright smile.
“Hello, Ozy. I missed you too.”
“Didn’t think it was worth telling me? Fuck, Jake is going to lose his shit.” Her deadly glare has killed weaker men in the past.
It’s the exact same as mine, a blue that always reminds people of dangerous nights.
But while my hair is a dark blond, hers is inky black.
Someone comes running in, only to stop when they bump into Rose’s back.
“Fucking hell. I tried to stop her. I promise.” Her boyfriend, Lik, tries to wrap a hand around her waist, but she slaps him away.
Good, I wouldn’t want to have to cut it.
“Don’t you fucking dare touch me, you little liar.”
“You were meant to be at home with Rachel and her,” Sam appears behind both of them, and they’re almost complete. “And how the hell does she know?”
