“TT is brilliant, sweet, and kind, but I would kill her, if you don’t do what is expected tonight.” He sighed. “Can you see it? Me kneeling in front of little TT and taking out my blade. The surprise on her innocent face and then the inevitable sadness as I slice away at her soft flesh.”
You son of a bitch.
The world slipped away from me and my vision narrowed as this monstrous sensation rose inside of me like a tidal wave.
Fierce and unstoppable.
Every nerve in my body hummed with fury.
My blood boiled beneath my skin.
It wasn’t fear anymore.
No, this was something far darker, something I had never felt before.
This was brutal rage.
Pure, unfiltered, primal fucking rage.
Leo stood there, blade gleaming in the moonlight, so calm and collected, as if he hadn’t just threatened to slaughter the people I loved most.
As if he hadn’t turned my world upside down with a smile on his face.
His words echoed in my mind, and with each passing second, they fueled the fire inside me, stoking the embers into a blazing inferno.
He nodded. “I would do it. Kill you. Kill her, Chloe, and Jo. Could you imagine what Lei would go through? The heartbreak. The insanity that he would descend into. What would happen to Banks and everyone else? Their lives would be shattered. Can you consider the darkness that would settle on Paradise City after that?”
The image flashed before my eyes—Leo standing over my sister, his blade slicing through TT’s skin, blood pouring from her as he smiled.
That smile.
That damn smile.
It burned itself into my brain, and suddenly, I wasn’t just angry.
I wasn’t just scared.
I wanted to kill him!
Like me.
Only me.
No one else.
It had to bemyhand.
The thought surged through me and it wasn’t just a passing thought.
It was aneed.
A hunger.
For the first time in my life, Iwantedto take a life.
Leo’s life!
I wanted him to bleed for what he had done with this fucking target game and for the threat he had dared.
