Famous last words.
The door opened and Aaron entered, saying, “We have a visitor.”
I sat up. “Oh?”
“Rhianna Kingwood is at the front gates.”
Chapter 33
RILEY
Rhianna leaned against one of two idling black cars outside the mansion gates, surrounded by shadow witches. The security lights blazed across the sloped road, highlighting every single arsehole present.
Six of us lined up together on the other side of the gates—me, Drake, Isaac, and the siblings. The protection spell kept us safe from magic and bullets. Nothing would pass the invisible shield around us.
But that didn’t mean chaos wouldn’t ensue.
“Evening,” she greeted us cheerfully, her eyes on me. “Good to see you again.”
Drake bristled beside me. I thought I felt his anger ripple down our bond.
“And you, Drake,” she threw out, keeping her focus on me. “Sneaky shit. What happened to our engagement? Am I dumped?” She laughed, her cronies joining in like good dogs.
I snarled, that jealousy returning. “Why are you here?”
She narrowed her gaze, her smirk grating on my nerves. “Brave sacred scum hiding behind his walls. Why don’t you come and say that to my face?”
Tempting. So very tempting. If I were a hotter head, I’d be vaulting over the fence.
Isaac stepped forward. “Try coming over here. Go on, give us all a laugh.”
Rhianna’s smirk dropped. “Fuck you.”
“Is that it?”
“You look like shit.”
My brother snorted, grabbing his chest. “Oh, no. Please have mercy.”
The Bramble siblings laughed this time.
Rhianna scowled, moving her furious glare in Drake’s direction. “Is this the company you wanna keep now? Interesting. You can hide all you want, remove the bond, be the traitor you are. It doesn’t change a thing. You’ll pay for hurting me, for humiliating my father. Poor Zara’s a wreck because of you.”
“Or me,” I said with my hand in the air. “Give me some of the credit.”
Go me with a sliver of sass.
Drake said nothing, as motionless as petrified wood.
Isaac joined in again. “Your dad’s humiliated? Fuck yeah!” He punched the air.
Rhianna smirked. “Cocky. But The Sun will be eclipsed, The Moon crushed, The Star snuffed out.”
“I thought Marcus wanted us alive,” Isaac returned.
She flipped him the bird.
He flipped her two.
