“Damn,” Mattia muttered. His eyes met mine. “I told you she was psycho.”

“I’ve not been with her in months,” I told Blaise.

He shrugged. “Maybe so, but she is still texting you. You’re not responding, but she’s not stopped.”

“Which of the girls were found dead?” Mattia asked.

Blaise glanced over at Levi.

“Starla and Tatiana,” Levi replied.

“Fuck,” Mattia swore.

We had shared both more than once, but I’d been with Starla a few times alone. I felt sick to my stomach. If Blaise was right and Winter had had something to do with their deaths, then she was as insane as Mattia had claimed.

“How secure is the house you are in with Genesis and Jagger?” Blaise asked, causing my blood to run cold.

I shot up off the sofa. “Why?” I asked, wanting to bolt from the room and get back to the house.

“Easy,” Blaise said, holding up his hand. “Six and Bart are both stationed outside the house until you return. I wouldn’t have called you here without making sure your family was protected.”

Although it eased my fear, I still wanted to leave. I needed to be there with them.

“Six and Bart can handle a crazy-ass bitch—and Vagos for that matter,” Gage stated. “They’re fine.”

I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the security footage inside the house. When the screen appeared, showing Genesis on the floor in the living room, tickling Jagger’s feet and laughing as he smiled up at her, my chest eased some.

“I take it, all is well?” Blaise said. “Are the windows bulletproof?”

I nodded. “Yeah, all the ones in the front and the windows in each bedroom. Dad had them installed when Mom moved me in there as a baby.”

“When was the system on the house updated?”

“Two years ago,” I replied. “I had it handled before Genesis began renting it for the summers.”

Blaise seemed appeased by that information.

“They could just move into Kye’s room at the house,” Huck said. “At least until this is handled.”

As much as I wanted Genesis all to myself, I also wanted her and Jagger safe.

“I don’t want to scare Genesis,” I explained. “But I’ll figure out a way to convince her to without letting her know the situation.”

Gage let out a bark of laughter. “Fuck, that’s a terrible idea. Have you not paid attention to any of our mistakes?”

Blaise shot Gage a warning glare, then turned back to me. “This is what we are going to do …”

Thirty-One

Genesis

When I got home from taking Dad to his doctor’s appointment, the sight of another strange car in the driveway concerned me. Kye would have texted me if we had company, so I was curious to see who was here with him and Jagger. The doorknob turned without me needing a key, and that was unlike Kye—at least when he had Jagger here with him.

“RUN, GENESIS!” Kye shouted from inside, and I shoved the door open in a panic to see Kye standing on the other side of the living room with a gun pointed at a man I didn’t recognize while the man pointed a gun at Kye.

I didn’t notice anyone else until Winter stepped from the other corner of the room, dressed as trashy as she had been the last time she was here.

“Get out of here!” Kye yelled at me.

I took in the situation and made a quick scan of the room to make sure Jagger wasn’t in here.

“Oh, look, just who I wanted to see,” Winter said, placing a hand on her hip and glaring at me. “What he sees in you, I have no idea.”

She swung her gaze to Kye, who had his eyes locked on the man with a gun pointed at him. My heart was pounding so hard that I could hear it in my ears.

Winter slowly walked toward me with a smirk.

“Get away from her, Winter,” Kye warned her.

She paused and glanced back at him, then laughed. “You should have learned your lesson about threatening me,” she told him. “I don’t take it well.” Then, she turned back to me.

I forced myself to breathe evenly and focus on her movements. I could do this. I wasn’t scared of her.

“Please, Baby Doll. Please, run out of that door. I swear I’ve got this,” Kye pleaded with me.

“I can’t leave you,” I told him, not taking my eyes off Winter.

“Aww, how sweet. Stupid but sweet,” Winter said.

When she was close enough, she reached out and tugged on my hair. “Is this real?” she asked, then jerked harder.

I slapped her face as hard as I could, and she stumbled back. The taunting gleam that had been in her eyes morphed into something much more sinister.

“Bitch!” she said through her teeth as she reached for something at her side.

The glint of shiny metal caught my eye just as she grabbed my arm and spun me so my back was to her chest. I only had a second to think before she moved the knife in her hand toward me. Shutting out everything else, I recalled every lesson I had learned and took her arm, then jerked my body forward as hard as I could. Winter flipped over me and landed on her back with a loud thud. Still holding her arm, I twisted it while she cried out, and then I straddled her body before slamming my fist into her face five times in the angle I’d been taught until she went limp beneath me.
