She storms past me, bumping my arm as she goes. Royce steps out of the car to follow her. I hold my hand up to stop him and turn to glare after her.

My heart tightens, I love her little ass so much it hurts. I’ve worked so hard to be everything she needs. She’s seen me when no one else has.

“Fuck,” I roar. “Ally, wait.”

She flips me the bird. I start to jog after her, my long legs eating the distance up quickly. I catch her arm to halt her.

“I’m sorry. Please talk to me.”

“Why can’t you see what I see, Cane? Why don’t you understand this hasn’t been about you? My sister is insane, and Sid is just as crazy. They have beaten the shit out of gang members for me. Lita was one of them. They put them in the hospital to keep me safe. I fucked up. I opened a door I shouldn’t have and now my sister is in danger because of me.

“Chlo isn’t going to fall back and allow this. She’s going to go to war for me. I can’t let that happen. That’s why she doesn’t know. Telling her about you comes with the whole truth. She’s not stupid.”

She rolls her tear-filled eyes and pulls her earbuds out to push them into her ears before she storms off again. I run my hands through my hair.

Chloe isn’t the only one willing to go to war for her, and I need her to see that. I’m here, I’m going to make it so she can talk to her sister the way she wants. I’ve got her.

I just need her trust. Lost in thought, I start to follow after her. I’m dragging my feet because I don’t know where to start to fix this.

I look up at the sound of Clay bellowing Ally’s name. It all happens in slow motion. My heart starts to race.

“Ally,” I roar.
