“What?” I spin around and step toward him.
Saint looks at Haidyn, who shrugs as if they’ve already had several conversations about me today.
“You have something you want to say?” I come out and ask.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” Saint frowns.
I begin to laugh. That’s a dumbass question. “If you haven’t figured it out by now, then quit trying.”
“What the fuck?” He throws his arms out wide. “You’re making fun of Haidyn and a cat, but you’re the one being a little bitch with an attitude.”
My brows rise to my hairline.
“So whatever the fuck it is, get it out. Right now.” He crosses his arms over his chest.
My gaze drops to the guy who is naked and strapped to the table. His wide eyes go back and forth between us. I find it ironic that it’s the man we picked up from the cathedral the night I found the woman I’ve spent years searching for. Eve was right there. So close all this time. It’s time to show my face. To remind her of who I am.
“Doesn’t matter,” I say, giving them my back once again.
“Things are fine. Back to normal,” Saint states, making me stop.
I turn to face them once again, and he looks at Haidyn. “We’ve talked it out…”
“You two talked it out.” I nod to myself. “No one has spoken to me.” I still haven’t had a chance to finish the conversation that Haidyn and I started when we rescued him.
“How many times do I have to think you’ve killed yourself? Hmm? How many times do I have to lose a brother?” I ask, looking at him lying in the hospital bed here at Carnage.
I step closer to it and shove my hands into the pockets of my bloody jeans. I haven’t had a chance to change since we pulled him from Dollhouse. “We’ve already said bye to Adam twice. And we’re going to have to do it again. But how many times are you going to leave us?” In order for Adam to help us find Haidyn, he made us promise to let him walk away from us afterward with no questions asked.
“I’m not going anywhere.”
I snort. “You’ve been MIA and got married. FUCKING MARRIED!” I scream. “You had Adam there. What about us, huh? What about me?” How could he do something so important without me? I thought we were closer than that.
“I made you her guardian.”
“How was that possible, Haidyn? Hmm? Because I wasn’t fucking there to sign off on that.”
He runs a hand down his face. “I had Adam sign your name.”
I throw my arms out to my sides and then let them fall, slapping my thighs. Of course Adam was there for him. Haidyn’s been hiding him from us for years. “You should have just had Adam sign his.”
“I wanted you.”
“I—” The sound of the door opening cuts him off, and Charlotte steps into the room.
“What the fuck happened?” His wide eyes go to mine when he sees her condition.
I ignore his question. His wife can answer it. “We’ll finish this conversation later,” I tell him and walk over to her. I place my hands on either side of her bruised face. “Give him hell, love,” I tell her and release her. Reaching into my pocket, I pull out his wedding ring and hand it to her, leaving them alone.
If I can’t get through to him, maybe she can.
Saint frowns at my previous statement, and it just pisses me off even more. “You don’t even know why I’m mad at you guys.”
“You guys?” He points at himself. “What did I do?”
Seriously?“You cheated at the vow ceremony.”
Saint throws his head back, laughing like I’ve told a joke. “That was four years ago.”
