I moved quickly and pushed Kronos up against the wall. “Don’t fucking push me today, asshole. I am not in the mood to deal with your fucking temper tantrum. My brother is downstairs in surgery fighting for his fucking life, and my woman is upstairs dealing with shit no woman should ever have to fucking deal with. Shut your goddamn mouth before I put a bullet in it and call it a fucking day.”
After one final shove further into the wall, I let him go and stormed into church. I fell into my chair as Cash sat next to me.
“That was fucking awesome,” he said.
“Kronos is a dick,” I muttered. Cash laughed as the rest of my officers moved in and found their seats along with Rhea, who sat down. Poseidon stood sentry behind her, and Morpheus stood against the wall watching me.
“How long have you known where my sister was?” Morpheus asked.
I ran my hands over my face before answering. “About a week or so, I don’t even fucking know anymore. This whole fucking year is a blur.”
Morpheus looked over at Nav. “You didn’t fucking call him?”
Nav grinned. “Of course I fucking called him.”
Morpheus straightened from the wall and pushed the door open. “Cerberus! Get your ass in here!”
Nav sat back in his chair, his arms crossed over his chest with a smile on his face. He knew his father was about to get his ass handed to him, and he was going to enjoy every damn minute.
“You got the cameras on?” I asked. Nav nodded as Cerberus entered the room and promptly hit the wall when Morpheus punched him.
“You fucking knew?”
Cerberus glared at his son, who only smiled wider. “I just found out before Kyllian was taken.”
“And after we got her back?” Morpheus demanded.
Cerberus shrugged. “I forgot?”
Nav laughed when Morpheus hit him again. Cerberus shoved him back and snapped, “You sent me after your son, asshole. I was a little preoccupied.”
I looked over at Rhea to see her reaction to how Morpheus and Cerberus dealt with their conflict. Tears streamed down her face as she watched her brother fight with his VP.
“Kane!” Morpheus looked over at Rhea. “You’re just like him.”
He didn’t dispute her words. He didn’t hang his head in shame. Everyone in the room knew she was talking about their uncle, Kalden Baudelaire. Morpheus couldn’t deny he had not only become his uncle, but he’d also become something worse.
“Where have you been, Gabby?” he asked.
“Hiding.”
Morpheus stepped closer and sat down next to his sister. “Hiding from who?”
“From you.”
Morpheus snapped his head back as if Rhea had hit him. Without a word to anyone, he stood up from the chair andwalked out of church. We heard the front door slam, and Rhea looked over at Cerberus. “How did you let this happen?”
“You let this happen, Gabby. The day you left without a word… it changed him. Then he lost Gretchen and Jackson, and he was never the same after that. He’s never stopped looking for you, even after thinking you were dead all this time. You broke him, Gabby. Not Kalden.”
Rhea gasped, her hand covering her mouth.
“Son, I need to check on Jackson,” Cerberus said to Nav.
“This was not my fault, Zach! He would have killed me too!” Rhea pleaded.
“Then you should have fucking told me!” Cerberus yelled. Poseidon stepped in his path, and Cerberus looked him over.
“Try me, old man,” Poseidon challenged with a grin.
