“Blaze.” Kane’s voice cuts through the haze in my mind, and I turn to face him. “Eli’s on his way back.”
“Okay.”
“How bad is it?” I promised Kane the night he took the voices away that I wouldn’t lie about them anymore. “What are they saying?”
“They’re chanting to kill him. They’re also saying that I failed you.”
“You didn’t fail me, Blaze.”
“I’m supposed to protect you. I should have known Jaxon was dirty.”
“He slipped past us both. This isn’t on you.”
“The fuck it isn’t.” I jump from my chair, jamming my fingers into my hair. The voices are getting louder with each denial from Kane. I don’t know how much longer I can handle this without snapping. “I need to kill him to prove I’m worthy to be by your side.”
“You have nothing to prove,Moya lyubov’.You belong at my side. We’ll figure this out.”
“Figure what out? Are you letting him live?”
Kane sighs and sits back on the couch. “I don’t know what the fuck to do. If this were anyone else, I wouldn’t have hesitated. I had the gun to his head, ready to end him, but I couldn’t. He has a hold on me, Blaze. I could see the heartbreak in his eyes when I made him take his collar off.”
Slit his throat.
Kill him.
He can’t live after hurting Kane.
“He didn’t deserve your collar, Kane. He doesn’t deserve you.” I take in the look on Kane’s face, and my anger hits the fucking roof. “You believe him, don’t you?! What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“I didn’t say that,” Kane says evenly. “All I’m saying is I need to think about it before I do something I can’t take back.”
You’re useless to Kane.
You let him down.
He’s going to throw you back on the streets.
Prove yourself.
“You might not be able to do it, but I can.”
“You’re really going to stand there after what you shared with him and tell me you can look him in the eyes and kill him?”
“For you? Yes, I can.”
Kane gets up from the couch and walks to stand in front of me. “You won’t touch him, Blaze.”
“This isn’t something you can control. This is what I do, so you need to stay out of my way.”
Kane’s hand shoots out, grabbing my jaw and squeezing until my lips pucker. “You will do as I say,Moya lyubov’.You will leave him alone, yes?” I lock eyes with him, refusing to answer. He squeezes my jaw harder. “You do not under any circumstances touch Jaxon. Do you understand?”
Lie.
Lie.
Lie.
“I won’t touch him.”
