Chapter 22

POV Zeke

After the Underground we headed home as the twins and Blaise left to take Lydia home. Blade was happy since he won but the rest of us were annoyed. I couldn't believe that Willa went against our father and fought. I did have a moment of pride when she took down that hulk of a guy but it was fleeting. She shouldn't be fighting in public like that.

I'm glad that she's strong and fights against our enemies and I was happy that she helped me out with that asshole Ivan but fighting in the Underground is something different. I could understand why she did it before, she and West needed money to live, but now.... she could have anything she ever wanted. Dad wanted to spoil her. Hell, we all did.

All Dad wanted, all any of us wanted, was to take care of her. Spoil her, protect her, coddle her, be cuddled and loved by her. I didn't understand why she was being so fucking stubborn about it. She refused anything Dad offered to buy her. She wouldn't cuddle with anyone other than West and
