Atticus is pacing again, and I just stand there against the wall waiting for the v footsteps to fade.
“Do you have an issue with my pack members that are under this roof? If us being here makes you uncomfortable, we can go elsewhere.”
I say quietly, watching Atticus intently. He tenses, his heartbeat quickening for a second before it returns to normal.
Quickly, but not quick enough… That was enough to tell me I’m onto something though.
“I have no issue with them,”
he says quietly as Sebastian looks up, observing us intently.1
“Really? Your attitude says otherwise and don’t lie to me Payne… I know how to readpeople,”
I say quietly.
Atticus frowns slightly. “It’s really nothing and I do apologise if it came off like that… you, Valerie and your pack members are welcome here and will be treated with the utmost importance,”
he answers quietly.
“Mm. Were you in Adriana’s room last night?”
I ask, ignoring Sebastian’s intensegaze.
“No! Why would I go to her room?”
Atticus growls, but the slight change in his heart rate doesn’t go unnoticed.
Defensive.
I glance at Sebastian, and even he’s watching Atticus intently.
“You’re lying. Why were you there?”
I ask.
“I wasn’t.”
Lie again.
I walk over to him, shoving my hands into my pockets, keeping my gaze locked with his. “
Hm. Sure. But let me give you a warning. This might be your house, but don’t overstep your boundaries… Adriana is under my care, I don’t and I won’t tolerate anything…”
He clenches his jaw, his eyes blazing. “Don’t threaten me in my own house,”
he snarls.
I raise an eyebrow, “Why would you feel threatened unless there’s something to be afraid of?”
Sebastian stands up. “Well well well, someone who can get under your skin. As much as this is enjoyable, Zaia’s had an exhausting day, and I don’t need her to have to deal with even more crap from both of you. So quit it,”
he growls, smart enough only to push Atticus and not touch me. “Try to get along even if it’s just for the women’s sake.”
Atticus clenches his jaw, but it’s Sebastian’s eyes that are filled with hostility now. I stare back, holding his gaze with my own cold one. Neither of us blinks, and the moment I feel his aura flare, I match it with my owIL.
“How can you show your face with such confidence when you killed my best friend?”
he asks me quietly.t
I look up at him, remembering Gaultier; he was younger than I was, but ever since he was put into the same training as me, I had been like a brother to him, the one I considered a friend… only with every passing season, he became more unhinged. Losing his sanity to the torture that was our training
“You killed mine.”
I counter emotionally.
Sebastian cocks a brow, smirking humourlessly. “I never knew you had one. You are a killing machine, not sure what I can say about you now.
“Yeah, I was, still am. Doesn’t mean I didn’t have anyone I considered a friend. Gaultier King. He was the only one who could understand what I went through as he went through the same.”
Sure, by the time he was killed, we were almost like strangers to one another… his hatred had pulled him deeper into the darkness. His desire to become better than me outweighed our bond, and soon he wanted to do nothing but prove he could lead.
When he had gone after Valerie, to see if she was a Sublime, I knew I had lost the one I considered a friend. He had been so power-hungry so willing to do it. To show Gerard and Lawrence that he was better than me. The anger at that thought makes my eyes flash.
When Sebastian was named the head of our triquetra, it never bothered me, but it bothered Gaultier…
“He was mad,”
Sebastian says icily.
“Driven mad. Yeah. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t once a friend.”
“You do know he’s the one who almost killed Valerie?”
Sebastian asks.
“Yeah, and I hate him for it, still doesn’t change the fact you killed him and many comrades… we both did what we had to on that battlefield. I’m growing bored of having toof my hear it on repeat. Got an issue? Well, I don’t really care. I don’t fucking want to hear it.”
“You might not want to piss Zaia’s twin off, King. I thought she’s exhausted?”
Atticus reminds him.
Seems the tables have turned.
Sebastian glares at him. Atticus glares back before both turn and glare at me. I resist the urge to roll my eyes and take out a cigarette. This is going to be a long fucking day… 1
The women return shortly after and Zaia smiles, glancing around at the three of us. Atticus is pacing in front of the French doors, Sebastian is sitting on the sofa, working on his laptop and I’m back in my spot against the wall.
“I’m glad you three are getting along, it’s lovely to see that,”
she says as Valerie enters behind her, a smile on her gorgeous face. 2
She’s delusional if she thinks we’re getting on.
“Yeah, I’m surprised,”
Valerie adds, glancing at Sebastian. She comes over to me as Zaia goes over to Sebastian.
‘So, was everything ok without me?’ she asks, locking her arms around my neck. I move my hand back, holding my cigarette loosely between two fingers as I wrap my other arm around her waist and kiss her lips.
‘Yeah. How’s Adriana?’
“In and out of sleep. She’s still exhausted, but she’s getting better. I ran her a bath. She’s looking forward to that,”
Valerie says with a smile. I can feel Atticus staring at us and I look at him, cocking a brow.
“Valerie.”
He calls her and she turns her attention to him.
“Yes?”
“Does she need anything, clothes or anything? I was told you barely had any luggage with you upon arrival. I can have someone go purchase what she might need.”
“Oh, that would actually be lovely-“
“No need. We can get it ourselves.”
I cut in.
Atticus frowns. “She is a guest here if I want to help-“
“She doesn’t need your help.”
I counter icily, not forgetting how he had acted about her not long ago.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
Valerie looks concerned, placing a hand on my chest.
“Nothing. Your brother here really doesn’t need to go out of his fucking way to help Adriana.”
I answer cuttingly.
“I was only trying to genuinely help,”
Atticus replies icily, his eyes flashing.
“Yeah well, it ain’t fucking needed. Once you get me the data I need, we will all be out of your fucking way,”
