I look up. “What?”
He squeezes my waist again. “It matters. Coming from you.”
“Oh.”
“And you’re not a princess.”
“I’m not?”
He shakes his head slowly, his eyes all intense and piercing. “You’re a fairy.”
I lick my lips then and his wolf eyes flare and I open my tingling mouth to say something — not sure what — when there’s a shout.
“Jackson!”
My eyes pop wide at that voice and my fingers in his hoodie tighten even more.
Because I know it. I know that voice too.
It belongs to someone I know and someone I love and someone I’m completely betraying by being here.
My brother, Ledger.
Chapter Four
My brother is here.
Somehow, he’s found me, and I’m wrapped around the guy he hates the most.
The guy who should be worried right now.
Very, very worried.
But he’s not.
He’s sweeping his eyes over my face as if memorizing it before he smiles slightly and steps back, easily getting out of my grip.
My fingers feel empty without his hoodie but I don’t have the time to dwell on it because I hear Ledger again.
“Get the fuck away from her.”
At this, I finally gather my wits and turn to look at my brother.
He’s charging at us, rage flickering over his features.
Like Reed, my brother is tall, notquiteas tall as Reed, and is muscled and strong. He’s slightly wider in the shoulders and chest than Reed, and with the way he’s glaring at Reed, I feel like he’s going to use his size to his advantage.
But I really wish that this was it.
That the threat of Ledger practically bulldozing Reed, who believe it or notstilldoes not look worried about it at all, was the only threat to contend with.
It’s not, though.
Because I have not one but four brothers, and somehow, they’reallhere.
All of them.
Howare they here? How did they know where to find me?
