“Lucky’s going to be fine. Looks like most of the damage was superficial. Royal’s in surgery. He’s lost a lot of blood, but the doctors say he should make it through.”
“Royal’s in surgery?” I ask.
“He’ll have a nasty scar, but he’s going to be just fine. All we can do now is wait,” Cruz responds. “Is Lucky’s sister with you?”
“Yeah, I’m right here.” She jumps toward the phone.
“Shadow is with Lucky, but Sinner took off to come after you.Apparentlyhe doesn’t trust anyone to look after you except himself,” Cruz chuckles half-heartedly.
“Thank you for the update, Cruz. Tell my brother I’ll see him soon.”
“I’m sure he’ll be glad to see you, darling. Jax, take me off speaker,” he says.
Jax hits the button, walking into the kitchen to finish his conversation.
“They’re both going to be fine. That’s good.” I can breathe now.
Cassie rolls her eyes and walks away. She knows how much I love her brother so she can fuck off with the attitude. I don’t need it.
“I guess I’ll go get cleaned up. There are some T-shirts in Royal’s dresser if you want to change,” I say, looking at Dante.
He doesn’t respond, just bobs his head up and turns to walk away.
I wish he would say something.
Yell at me.
Cuss me out.
Acknowledge me in any way.
Just stop fucking ignoring me like I mean nothing to him.
“I know I’ve hurt you, D. Hell, I’ve hurt everyone I care about at this point. I don’t know how to make it better, but I won’t stop trying until it is.”
“I won’t hold my breath,” he mumbles with his back to me.
Chapter three
Dante
“You’re a dick,” Jax says as Angel disappears around the corner.
“Tell me something I don’t know,” I snap back, anger flooding my veins and seeping out of me in waves.
“You know what, Dante?” he growls. I watch him clench his fists at his sides and prepare myself for his attack. Jax only has so much control, and right now, I’m pressing all his buttons.
“I’m getting real sick and tired of this crybaby bullshit from you, D.”
“Fuck you, Jaxon!” I step toward him, pulling my shoulders back.
He lets out a deep sigh, dropping his head to his chest. Closing his eyes, he takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself before he speaks again.
“We get it, D. She fucked up, but how long are you gonna make her pay for it? How many times does she have to fucking apologize before you man up and let this shit go?”
My eyes burn with rage as I stare back at him. “Man up?” I laugh. “Easy for you to say. It wasn’t your dad she slept with!”
He cocks his brow at my choice of words, but I ignore it. “Tell me, Jax, how would you let that shit go? Now she’s what? Concerned for him? Cares about him? Cass is over here traumatized by what just happened, Lucky and Royal are hurt, and she’s questioning us about Gabe.”
