I told Ass Hat this would be the best night ever.
I wasn’t wrong.
Not even fucking close.

It had never been a big deal for my bedroom to be next to Cole’s. We shared a wall for five years. It had always been peaceful.
Until now.
I listened, staring up at my ceiling, as their soft moans sounded out around me.
Cole was fucking her. I assumed Anson was fucking her with him, which only made me sicker to my stomach.
It used to be Cole and me fucking her.
Now? I was the chump in the room next door, listening as it happened.
And fuck, it sounded like they were having a damn good time.
The fact that Cole was doing this with Anson told me all I needed to know.
I’d already lost my brother.
It fucking hurt, but I loved Cole. I wanted his crazy ass to be happy, and if this made him happy, I’d let him go.
I’d still be bitter over it, but hey, I was trying.
I breathed out and tried to block out the noises I could hear, but it was a losing battle, even with my pillow pulled tightly over my head.
Ryder had left to return to Klaus’s place, so at least he wasn’t privy to this shit show. I’m sure he was used to listening to Rosalie with men, considering he was her bodyguard, but I wondered how he managed when he clearly had a thing for her.
I’d have asked him if he were here. He’d likely have denied his feelings and told me to fuck off, but a broken man could easily recognize another broken man.
Sighing, I got up, left my room, and went to E’s room. It was further down the hall and on the opposite side, so it would be quiet there, and I knew he wouldn’t care if I slept in his bed since I’d done it before.
I lay back down, this time in E’s bed, and closed my eyes, my heart heavy. I kept trying to push Rosalie away, but fuck, it was killing me.
I’d die a little more tomorrow, I suppose.
I went downstairsto find Cole, Anson, and Rosalie already in the kitchen. It was early, so Ellis was likely still in bed.
I swallowed and tried not to stare as Cole wound his arms around Rosalie’s waist while she made them breakfast. Or when he nuzzled into her neck and kissed her throat. Or when Anson stood and tilted her head up after sliding his fingers beneath her jaw to kiss her while Cole continued to hold her.
They’d already worked out a dynamic.
And Cole fucking fit right in without bloodshed.
My stomach knotted.
This was definitely happening.
I texted E to come meet me this morning. I needed my brothers together so we could talk.
Enzo: Can you come over? We need to talk.
