Kael’s POV This woman had always been a f*****g nuisance, and the only reason I ever tolerated her s**t was because she used to my mother’s friend. But after my parents passed away, she turned into a goddamn pain in the ass. I was being patient these years out of the respect for my mother, but now? Now this woman’d crossed a f*****g line by daring to insult my brothers. My brothers—Roman, Lucian, Jason, and Rafe, not blood related, but they are everything to me. They are my backbone, the reason I still have a goddamn grip on sanity. The only reason this pack isn’t burning in the flames of my rage. Six years ago, when I lost everything, I was ready to set the whole f*****g world on fire. I didn’t care who got in the way. But these four? They stood beside me through every second of hell.
