But she came for me, striding across the study to stop in front of me. “What the fuck did you do?”
I looked at her. At her rage and her beauty, I saw something unattainable—loyalty.
“I’d be careful if I were you.” Carven warned as he pushed past and stepped into the study. “This one’s likely to tear you a new ass.”
“She can tr—” I started as Colt followed his brother inside, meeting my stare as he went.
“When did this start?”
I looked back at her.
“Time, day. Was it today?”
I shook my head.
“Then when?”
I tried to think. “Yesterday, the day before…I don’t remember.” I answered.
But I knew exactly when it was. The night of the attack, when she dropped to her knees in front of all of us.
“She could be broken, do you get that?”
I stared through the woman, watching in the corner of my eye as Carven neared my sister.
“What’s happened to her?” Gabe asked. “Why is she like this?”
“Because, her mind has been manipulated to obey.”Vivienne snapped.
Jude jerked his gaze toward her. “You mean like mind control?”
“Exactlylike mind control.” She stared at him, then Gabe. “You have no idea what she is,do you?”
What she is.
Not, who she was.
Vivienne swung that deadly glare my way.
“She’soursister.”
If looks could kill I’d be a dead man. “Really?” She muttered. “I’m just loving your sense of loyalty here.”
What the fuck? How in the world is this woman judging me?
Beep.
London grabbed his cell, reading the message. “They’re here.”
Who’s here?
Murmured voices came from the front of the house barely a second later. I stepped backwards into the middle of the hallway and turned watching a woman and four guys head toward me. She looked just like the one staring daggers at me inside the study. But this one stopped in front of me, searched my eyes silently, then slowly shifted that piercing stare to the study.
“Where is she?” The male behind her pushed through, dressed in a goddamn suit looking all fucking business.
Only then did it hit me. They were serious, weren’t they? I jerked my gaze to the sofa as the guy in the suit rounded the end and knelt down in front of her.They were serious and this was real.
My fists clenched as this asshole reached for her, murmuring. “Angelica, my name is Doctor Kane Cruz. Can you hear me?”
