Rowan
I was so stunned by his words that I nearly tripped over myself. My breath caught in my throat, my mind struggling to process what he had just said.
His father?
His fucking father was trying to shoot me?
It didn't process in my head before but it sure has now.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Did I say fuck?
What the fuck is happening?
I was still stunned over it that I could barely register what was happening around me.
I do have a fucking target on my back.
I heard Adrian beside me, his voice sharp with disbelief. "What the fuck did you just say?"
Soren ran a hand through his hair, looking miserable. "I just wanted to talk to you both in a quiet place," he said, his voice hesitant. "I swear, Rowan, I didn't mean for this to be some kind of ambush. I just needed to tell you in person. I know you don't trust me right now but I know you need to listen to me."
A bitter taste coated my tongue, "oh I need to listen to you? You are demanding it now?"
