All Chapters of Murdered By My Brother's Best Friend: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

I threw my hands up to cover my face, a pathetic attempt at protection against my brother's snarling jaws. This couldn't be happening. This had to be some twisted nightmare, a hallucination brought on by hitting my head too hard."Marcus, what the hell are you doing?"Damon's voice cut through the night like a blade, sharp with confusion and something that might have been horror. I watched through my fingers as he shifted back to human form, his naked body tense with fury.Marcus whirled on him, still in wolf form, and without warning lunged at Damon's shoulder. His teeth sank deep, and Damon's agonized groan echoed through the trees."Get off me!" Damon shoved Marcus away with both hands, blood streaming down his arm. "You said we were just going to scare her! Don't tell me you're actually planning to kill your own sister!"Kill me? The words hit like physical blows.
