Chapter 66

Zeke looked down at the beautiful, fragile face of the girl asleep on his chest. She hadn’t let go of him all night, but that was okay because he hadn’t let go of her either.

He didn’t know how she had done it or if she had done it at all. He and Shadow had been so close to breaking. The darkness had started to invade even with Shadow’s stubbornness. Several times, he had been pulled into his nightmares, watching all his sins play out in front of him like a horror movie.

The woman who had taken all his carefully crafted plans and shot then to shit.

There was a soft knock. His friends had waited long enough. The sun had long since risen, but he couldn’t bring himself to let her go.

He mind linked them to come in without untangling Ava from his body. After what he had just gone through, he would let the dice fall wherever they fell. They wanted him to trust them. He was giving them their chance
