And safe?
Not with them or anyone else. “Security wasn’t supposed to let you into my room.”
“We called in a favor.” Hikaru is as demon-handsome as his son, Jett. Dark hair, expensive suit, and a dark gaze that I can feel calculating which levers he has to pull to get what he wants from me.
It’s unpleasant, but not the worst.
The worst is seeing the grown-up versions of the mates who can’t be bothered to be here themselves.
And yeah.
I’d be even more pissed if they were here.
I’ve earned the right to be psycho.
When Kieran moves to pull me out of my spot behind the couch, I flash back to Finn pulling me out of the barrel.
The heat and the pain and the sorrow.
I yelp, ducking so deep behind the couch he’ll have to yank it off the wall to get me. “We can talk from here.”
And why the hell are they holding a pack meeting in my hospital room?
They’re not my pack.
“We’d like to apologize. Face-to-face.” Scorpio’s voice is calm, even, and commanding.
I perk up. “Apologize for what?”
There are so many things.
“Because our sons are fucktarts.” Max shakes his head. “There aren’t words to say sorry for what they did to you.”
Okay.
Good start, dads.
I peek from behind the sofa.
They stand shoulder-to-shoulder on the opposite side of the room, giving me plenty of space. I creep out, moving onto the couch with a scalpel in each hand.
Kieran strips off a knife holster and kicks it across the floor. “You need better than that, little wildcat.”
I grabby-hand the knives but give him a serrated scowl for that nickname. “I thought this was an apology.”
“We’re sorry. I’m sorry.” Scorpio dips his head, more a nod than a bow.
I lean forward anyway, lapping up their expressions because I can’t remember ever getting a sincere apology from an alpha.
I wish I could record. “Sorry for…?”
“We shouldn’t have forced you into the pack.” Max scrubs his beard. “But we thought the boys would fall head over heels and we just want grand—”
Kieran elbows him in the ribs. “We failed you.”
I was kicked around the OCC for years before they manhandled me into their sons’ pack.
Kinda fucking used to it.
