“Jason didn’t tell you the full truth,” I say, setting my gaze on him. “Or did he not tell you he literally told me to my face that he believed it was my fault I was being extorted?”
Felix’s brows furrow, and he snaps his fingers. A Skull & Serpent grabs Jason and drags him to the front.
“Is that true, Jason?” Felix asks.
Jason stammers, “It’s not like that. I tried to tell her, but—”
“No, you didn’t want to support me, you made that very clear.” I interrupt. “And then as icing on the cake, you literally came at me when I told you to leave me alone. You kept running after me and cornering me, forcing Kai to intervene.”
Penelope’s jaw drops. “Jason? What the fuck, is that true?”
“Kai?” Felix says through gritted teeth. “So you’re on first-name basis with them now?”
“Oh …” Penelope folds her arms. “So this is why you asked me about those boys.”
“She asked you about them?” Felix snarls at her.
She raises her brow at him. “Youmade her a list.”
“Because I didn’t want her to eventalkwith them!”
“Talking isn’t all we’ve done,” Kai muses.
Felix raises his fist, but I grab it and lower it. “Don’t. He’s baiting you.”
“So what? I don’t care. He deserves a fist to the jaw for that comment,” he growls back.
“I get that you’re protective of me. You care about me, just like I care about you,” I say, looking him in the eyes. “But I don’t need your protection. Not on this one.”
“So what, you’re just hanging out here with these Phantoms?”
“Hanging out is an understatement.” I turn my head as Milo casually strolls down the stairs. “We’ve been having a lot of fun with her.”
“Fun?” Felix reiterates, his face almost turning red with rage. “You’ve had sex withmysister?”
Felix raises his gun again, pointing it straight at Milo’s face.
LANA
“Not just him,” Nathan grits.
Felix takes off the safety, but I still grasp the barrel and shove it away.
“It was my choice, Felix,” I reply.
“You can’t be serious,” he says. “They’re the fucking enemy.”
“Yours,” I retort. “Not mine.”
His jaw tightens, but Penelope drags his arm farther down. “Felix, stop, please. She asked you to for a reason.”
“I told you not to associate with them, and you’re going behind my back?”
“It’s complicated,” I answer, swallowing away the lump in my throat. “But they understand me, unlike Jason.” I throw him another wicked glance, and he looks away in shame.
“Jason scared the living shit out of her,” Kai says. “I would’ve put a knife in his brain if it wasn’t for the fact that Lana wants him to live.”
“I tried to make it right!” Jason exclaims.
