DECLAN’S PLACE was nothing like I imagined.
In fact, it was the opposite.
It was… Japanese.
Considering the family was borderline psychotic with their patriotism, both for the motherland and the States, that he’d gone for a very Asian influence clued me into the fact that Declan had opened himself up to the world.
Hell, I bet he even ate ramen on Sundays, not just roasted meat with two veg.
My lips quirked at the thought, even as I took a seat on the futon. Yep, that was the extent to this Japanese fusion Declan had going on.
The dining table was low to the

DECLANTHE DAYS after my arrival at home, I slept a lot.More than I’d like.I moved from the sofa to the bed and back again, trudging like a zombie from one to another.As I pulled my best Walking Dead impression, an impression that would usually impress only my bonsai tree unless Ma barged her way in with Da at her back blustering over how I made her worry, and a few of my brothers trickling in through the day to make sure I was on the mend, they were there.Constantly.Maybe it was stupid of me not to anticipate that, but it came as a severe shock.What stunned the hell out of me even more?&nb

DECLANSHE WAS GOING to hate me.I didn’t blame her. Couldn’t, really.None of this was her fault. It was all mine. All because of pride.All because of my coveting something.Two sins, but I lived my life with sins darkening every aspect of it. I didn’t care about my immortal soul. Hadn’t since she’d walked out of my world.Pussy.I let the word flip through my mind, but it didn’t anger me.There was no point in getting mad about the truth.Holding out my hand for her to take, I watched her eye my fingers like they were five snakes skewered onto

AELAIF THERE WAS anything he could have said that would blow me away, it was that.‘I’d just lost you and stopped giving a shit about most things.’I mean, everything about this afternoon blew me away. From the fact he had several lost classics tucked inside his wall, to how I’d rubbed one off on him against the frickin’ door.I mean, the man was ill. Ill! I’d ridden him like a damn pony, but…Inwardly, I sighed.My trouble was I liked ‘naughty’.I more than liked it.It was exciting. He’d always excited me. I knew it was weird, knew it was a bit of sickness considering what he did for a living, but I’d never been frightened. The danger junkie in me enjoyed it… Okay, so my morals were questionable.&n

THIRTEENDECLANBEFOREI WAS TIRED, and I wanted nothing more than to make my way to Aela’s place, but before I could, I had one last errand to make.The docks, like usual, stank, and because I knew my way around them better than I knew The Cloisters, I knew where I was going with very little light.I’d picked up a tail somewhere along the way and had taken a few corners to get free of whoever the fuck it was. We were having some beef with the NYPD thanks to the shit going on with the Haitians, so I figured it was an officer, which meant I couldn’t wait for them around a corner and beat the crap out of them, just h

CAMINOWIT SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE TO ME, but Father hadn’t changed the safe combination since I’d left.Maybe if he’d known I knew it by heart, then he’d have changed it, but as it was, I figured there was no better time than now to grab the necklace that Inessa coveted from Mama’s collection, one that her husband, Eoghan, had requested I steal for him.Objects meant nothing to me. I’d given everything up the first time I’d run away from home, heading for New Jersey where I’d heard chatter of a biker who killed men who abused children.In my father’s line of work, as the Pakhan of the Russian Brat

DECLAN“WHAT THE HELL are you talking about? Of course he’s dead. I saw him die.”“No, you didn’t,” Conor retorted, finally getting to his feet and coming to stand. He left his laptop on the floor, stretched, then bent down to grab it before yawning. “He’s not dead.”I grunted at his surety, then stormed out of the elevator only to find my brothers there, waiting on me.Gritting my teeth at the sight of them, then at the sight of the gas guzzling tank that I loathed riding in but knew would fit us all, I grumbled, “What are you doing here?”Eoghan and Brennan shrugged, exposing bumps at their sh

NOWIMPATIENCE MADE it hard when the staff eyed my blue hair and my earrings like I was an alien who’d just crash-landed on Midland Private Academy’s private helipad.The liaison was kind enough, however, and didn’t seem to have a stick shoved up her butt as she showed us around. It was just the teachers in every class who stared at my hair that drove me crazy.Either Seamus didn’t notice or he didn’t care. His gaze was fixed on things that should probably interest me but didn’t. I was more bothered about their terrible art program, but he wasn’t an artistic kid even if I tried to drag it out of him to help him express himself better.He p

SEVENTEENAELAIT WAS Seamus’s first day of school.The first day where Declan could officially return to work, and that was because he’d had the all clear.I was nervous for both of them, but nervous mostly for myself.The all clear, an empty nest, I knew what that meant.No way was Declan returning to work today. No way. No how.This was it.The start of something that had been brewing for decades.I licked my lips as I dropped a couple of pancakes on Shay’s plate. He was wearing a uniform that he’d been bitching about since I’d bought it, which
