Chapter 41

Brooklyn

Aden grips me hard, his hand over my mouth, a look of pure fury on his face.

But I'm not scared. I look up at him with victory in my eyes.

He wouldn't be shutting me up if he didn't think it would be a problem for him, make his life harder. He'd let me scream until I passed out.

Aden gives me a little shake. Nothing rough, just enough to try to teach me he's in control. But I just laugh against his hand.

Maybe I've lost my mind, but who cares? Today has just been too much to handle.

And underneath it all-under the receding fear, the victory, the hatred for Aden-there's something else. Adrenaline.
