Michael POV "Your sister is a bit of a prude." Ariel's fingers skimmed down my chest, her voice a lazy purr. "I think I'd prefer it that way," I said, brushing her off as I stepped away. "Now get to work." I wasn't in the mood for distractions. Ignoring Ariel's pout and Siobhan's sharp gaze, I pressed my thumb to the side panel, shifting the painting to reveal a bank of live security monitors. Siobhan let out a low whistle. "That's a hell of a setup." I barely glanced at her. "Watch the feeds. If you see anything, I want to know immediately." My eyes flicked to the monitor showing Amy's bedroom door. "Are you spying on your sister?" Ariel wrinkled her nose, voice curling in mock disgust. "That's a little..." I shot her a cold look. "She is my sister. No one touches her." She held up her hands. "Jeez. Got it." "Good. Now show me what you found before I decide you're wasting my time." I pointed to my desk where the laptops were set up. Ariel sighed dramatically but d

Lucy POVI stared at the kitchen door for at least twenty minutes before I finally picked my jaw up from the floor.I didn't just kiss him.It wasn't just any kiss either. It was an earth-shattering, mind-blowing kind of kiss. The kind you lose yourself in. The kind that makes your stomach twist and your knees weak.I never felt that before. Not with anyone.Maybe I should drink more often.I stabbed my fork into the cake, taking another too-large of a bite before shoving it back into the fridge. I needed to sleep. I kissed Michael. Amy's brother. A man who probably kills people for a hobby.And I liked it.Scratch that, I'm never drinking again."You okay?" Amy asked as I crawled under the covers."Yeah, just too much alcohol and sugar," I mumbled, hugging my pillow tighter.Amy let out a knowing sigh. "Did you eat cake, Lucy?"I groaned. "Just one."She playfully scolded me, but I barely heard her as she curled up beside me. For years, I practically lived here, always sharing a bed

Amy POV"You ready for tonight?" I grabbed Lucy's hands and twirled myself in her arms as we walked out of school. Not even two weeks left and we graduate. We had prom, senior class trip, awards ceremony, and then graduation prep."Why are you so happy?" Lucy giggled at me dancing down the sidewalk to her car. She had seemed off all day. I felt bad that we stayed up so late drinking. "I only have two exams left and then everything else is just parties! And tonight," I moved closer to whisper to her. "I invited James as my date and he said yes!" I was so excited I could burst. The hot boy from Chemistry class actually said yes!"What about Michael?" She immediately panicked. What the hell did he have to do with anything?"You mean Zander? Why would my brother care... oh, right. I'll have a talk with him." I cursed to myself. My brother was an overbearing, overprotective prick. I really didn't want James to get his face smashed in like Jared did. "Well, good luck with that." Lucy saw

Lucy POV"I can't believe he stole my car!" I paced, heels clicking against the hardwood. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, heat rising to my face.Amy, sitting on the bed, calmly buckled her heels. "If he wrecks it, I'll ask Uncle Niko to buy you the newest model." I shot her a glare. "That's not the point, Amy!"Michael always did whatever he wanted. No consequences. No regard for anyone else. And what made it worse? I couldn't stop thinking about him.I caught my reflection in the mirror as I pinned one side of my hair back, the long, golden curls cascading over my bare back. I looked stunning, sure, but I was too furious to even appreciate the effort I'd put in tonight.Amy sighed softly and stood up, coming over to me. "I know. I'm sorry." She reached for my hand, and I reluctantly let her take it. She had styled her hair the same as mine, her dark curls pinned back with a matching flower clip, and in any other moment, I would have smiled at how perfectly we matched."I'

Amy POVI wasn't paying attention when I walked straight into someone, my shoulder bumping into a tray of drinks. The glasses wobbled, but the waiter caught them effortlessly. He steadied me with a light touch on my arm, and I felt the heat of his skin even through the fabric of my dress."Sorry, Miss." His voice was smooth, low, with a slight accent I couldn't quite place.I glanced up, my gaze locking onto his striking green eyes. For a second, my breath caught. He was tall, lean but strong, with dark brown hair that framed his sharp features. Something about him felt familiar, but I couldn't place why at first, then I remembered."Kyle?" My eyes widened in surprise. We'd met before, a handful of times. At a club. A café. Just brief, passing encounters. He wasn't someone I really knew, just a face I recognized, a good-looking one at that.He looked so clean cut in his waiter's outfit. Tattoos hidden, and those toned muscles covered. His hair was dyed darker than I remembered, and it

Amy POV"Maybe we need to collide more often." I smiled seductively, images of him backing me into the bathroom playing in my head. A little pleasure would be a nice adventure to get the tiredness to rest for a bit. Sex always had a way of easing all my discomforts. "I would like that." His fingers brushed my face, green eyes locking onto mine, like I was something he needed to own for a few hours. God, I wanted to kiss him, just get lost in his large hands and tall body. But this was wrong. I can't do that now, here at my little cousin's birthday. "I should get back. We're about to do the cake. But maybe..." I gestured vaguely toward the party."Or," he leaned in slightly as he held up a tray of champagne flutes, "we could sneak off and have our own dessert."His teasing tone wrapped around me like silk, smooth but edged with command.I should say no. Something about this moment felt off. But the thrill of it was intoxicating.I bit the side of my lip. "Maybe just one drink," I mur

Lucy POV"Can I have my keys now?"I had spent the whole night avoiding him, but I finally gathered enough nerve to confront Michael. The second his dark blue eyes flicked to mine, my confidence completely disappeared. Why did he have to be so intimidating?"The night isn't over. Cake is about to be served." His voice was dismissive, and posture tense, like he'd rather be anywhere but here.I sighed in frustration just as Marie stepped onto the patio, balancing the enormous rocket-shaped cake. I stepped closer to the crowd, excitement bubbling inside me. Everyone began erupting into song, and I moved closer, smiling at Mikie's wide-eyed amazement.Amy should be here. She would love this.I scanned the yard, singing along with everyone else, but something felt off. My stomach twisted in discomfort. Where was Amy? Movement from the back patio caught my eye. It was Zander shoving his way through the crowd, his face twisted in panic.My brows knitted together. What in the world was he do

Michael POVSmoke curled through the air, thick and suffocating, the heat of the explosions still searing my skin. I barely stumbled back to my feet before the chaos truly set in. Screams. Gunfire. The acrid scent of burning flesh.Lucy had run inside, slipping through the smoke before I could catch her, but Amy, where the fuck was Amy? I couldn't remember the last time I saw her. I had been distracted, caught off guard, and now I was lost, unsure of my surroundings and who was accounted for.My eyes darted to Niko, who was struggling to extinguish the flames on his arm. Panic started to crawl up my spine, but I shoved it down, forcing myself to focus. Viv was on the ground, her kids huddled beneath her, half her face burned.I grabbed her chin, not the injured side, and forced her to look at me. "You good?""I'll live," she rasped, her wild eyes locked on Niko. "Where's Amy?"My gut twisted as I scanned the wreckage. "I don't know." I admitted with fury. It was like I was in a haze

Lucy POVThe moment I walked inside there was chaos everywhere. It seemed like hundreds of workers were renovating the house and I really just wanted some quiet. "I'll head upstairs. Maybe he won't wake until 3." I looked to Vinnie and Paul."I already sent him a text you were on your way because the dinosaur failed," Vinnie said and I closed my eyes. "Are you that afraid of him or just want us to get our asses handed to us?" I shot back at him. He was annoyingly loyal to Michael."Hey, I'm just doing my job. I don't need to get shot over this crap." Vinnie put his hands up in defense."No one is getting shot!" I yelled back, frustrated and so damn tired of this life. I half ran up the stairs, preparing my body for a fight that I didn't want to have. If I wanted to come home, I should be able to come home, and no one gets shot because of it.But the second I opened the door I froze. Michael was sound asleep in my bed, with no shirt or bandage over his long scar down his chest. I do

Lucy POV"Michael ordered you to stay in school. I can't bring you home until 3:00." Paul quickly followed behind me to the car."I don't care what Michael ordered. I'm not part of your world and he isn't my boss." I yelled back at him."Lucy!" He reprimanded me, grabbing my arm and guiding me into the car."I'm sorry." I took a deep breath. I knew of the dangers of defying Michael. Not that he would hurt me, but if others overhead. He can't look weak."Just take a moment then head back in." He tried to de-escalate my boiling tantrum. "I can't, Paul. I want to go home." A few tears slipped and the car got quiet."I know this is hard and not what you want," Paul said carefully, probably hoping not to make me cry more. "Once we weed out who is behind the attacks we can all go back to the life we want." I looked him over for a minute, sadness taking over that he too was sacrificing for Michael. "Do you miss Gio?" I asked softly."We've been by each other's side since we were kids." He

Lucy POVIt was strange being here, like it was a place I knew but didn't really remember. It wasn't too long ago that this was my norm. Monday through Friday I came to this building, gossiped, and joked with my friends. I went from class to class, worrying about nothing more than the next test or quiz.Now, it felt foreign. I didn't even remember what class I had during the fifth period. I was about to leave until I saw Zander in the hall. The second our eyes caught I felt a wave of relief. It was like my old life suddenly came rushing back to me."Hey, you came." He walked right up to me and hugged me tight in his arms. "It's been hell here without you." He admitted, squeezing me in his arms then let go. "High school was never all that much fun. I appreciate it though." I tuck my hair behind my ears, feeling a little out of place but comfortable now I found a friend."It was always better with you and..." he shrugged before finishing. "Is she here?" I looked around the halls. Ever

Amy POVAll morning my house was in an uproar. Paul fighting with Lucy to stay home, and Lucy fighting with me to go to school. I had really thought once Michael was awake we could ignore all the stupid rules and do what was needed. I knew he would need time to recover, but I didn't fully register how weak he would be. I wanted to ignore that too, but I didn't want to get my brother killed.I needed a new plan, a way to find Declan and give him the death he deserved. He killed my family, the only man I ever looked at as a father. I can't just sit here and do nothing. I can't just wait for Michael to heal and finish the job for me. I needed to act!"Why are you down here?" Dylan walked into the basement, holding a box of donuts and two coffees. "I can't just walk around school and pretend to be fine. There are threats everywhere, even here. Why do you think Paul refuses to let Lucy out of his sight?" I was pacing the floor like a caged animal. My nerves were fried and I was about to

Michael POV"Come in," I ordered."You needed me?" Paul walked in, looking unamused to be summoned."Take Lucy to school, and from now on, don't make a single order unless I approve it," I said, lying back down. A wave of exhaustion suddenly hit me."If that is what you think is best, boss." Paul had all attitude laced in his words. He was punk for a dinosaur."Do you have a problem with me becoming Capo, Paul? We can easily resolve it." I nodded to Vinnie who walked in behind him. He looked terrified and tried stepping back out the door. "Get in here!" I yelled at him.Lucy rushed out in an oversized shirt and baggy jeans. "What is happening?" She asked, looking at Paul and then Vinnie."Paul is going to take you to school and make sure you're safe. Right, Paul? You seem to like being attached to her side.""We have a meeting you called at 3:30." Paul clenched his jaw. "Unless you don't want your Second to attend. It would be a good way to make us look weak again.""Listen, Paul," V

Michael POVI was pissed I woke alone but determined to get over this whole recovery process. Two more doctors met me in the morning, neither having the solutions I wanted. "Did you get what I needed?" I asked Vinnie the second he walked into my room. "Wouldn't disobey my Capo." He mocked and threw a bag at me. "Want to bend over and I stick it in you." He chuckled.Both doctors gave me a concerned look but they could go to hell. "They are the professionals and it can go in my arm, jackass." I pulled out the bottle and ordered one of the doctors to come to me."That's not advised." He warned."Wasn't asking." I handed him the steroids and they gave each other a look. "I'll eat plenty of protein, take all my vitamins, and chug nothing other than water, but that can't be all. I need to recover faster. Steroids, facet injections, cortisol, whatever there is, I'm filling my body to the brim with it over the next three weeks. After that, I should be good with my own exercise regime to he

Michael POV"We needed to draw out the enemy outside the house." She replied, small tears slipping from her eyes."We? You aren't we. You are supposed to be in school. You will not go to another event. You will not take part in any of this..." I grunted, my hand releasing her arm, and grabbed my chest. I had her caged against the wall, but I was no threat."Michael, you should rest." Her hands came to my face, her touch so soft and gentle. "Rest?" I chuckled. "How can I rest when everyone around me has lost their minds?""I'm sorry. I was just trying to protect you." "Protect me? That's not how this works!""You can barely stand." She countered."Amy has already made it very clear that I'm weak. I don't need another lecture." I clenched my jaw, anger fading as I watched those eyes look over me. Concern, fear, maybe even love, staring at me."There's more power in my position than my body. You want to flush them out, then invite them in." I glared at her a moment, wanting to spew not

Michael POVThe second my eyes opened again I grabbed Vinnie's phone to text him. It hadn't even been 48 hours since I woke up in this alternate universe and I was already stir crazy. I was not surviving months of bed rest.'Send me my doctor.' I texted.'It's almost midnight.' He replied.'Don't care. I need some steroids.' I tossed the phone to the side.It dinged again but I ignored his dumb comments about not needing any more rage in my blood.'Where's Lucy?' I texted back. She should be home, hopefully, this home and not her actual home. 'Safe and sound. I know how much she means to you.' He added a wink at the end and I wasn't sure if he meant because I was somehow obsessed with her, or because of the fake pregnancy.I got up, needing some fuel before I passed out again. The doctor was about to knock as I opened my door though. I stared him down like I wanted to eat his heart out. "You called for me, Capo." He said with a shaky voice. He was old, like really old. "Can you eve

Lucy POV"This is unbelievable." I shoved Vinnie off me. He was practically sitting in my lap in the back seat of the car."Michael told me to keep my eyes on you all night." His gaze swept over me, lingering at the slit down my chest like a creep."Michael will rip your eyes out if you keep looking at me like that." I clenched my fists in my lap."He'd never kill me," Vinnie shot back, smug.Paul sighed, clearly over it. "Removing your eyes wouldn't kill you. Enough games, Vinnie. We need to focus.""He should stay in the car," I snapped, shooting Paul a look that begged for backup. I hated Vinnie's childish, flirty attitude."Michael just woke up. Let's not piss him off yet," Paul muttered, flipping a page in the book he'd been pretending to read. He was tired of this charade too, but not enough to go against Viv's orders."What's the big deal anyway?" Vinnie asked. "It's a charity gala, not a war zone.""Michael has enemies. It's better to be ready than dead." Paul's tone stayed fl
