Vol. 4: Mason to Haru - Chapter 96

Mason

“I’ll tell Noah and Mason about the guardians when the time comes.”

Mason listened carefully as Reo said, “Then hopefully, I can rest easily.”

“Everything will be all right,” Aiden said.

Mason felt something akin to fear stirring deep in his heart, that familiar feeling rearing its head, a feeling he had thought he had forgotten six years ago.

Turning on his heel, he headed back upstairs to his room. He had intended to join the two brothers for breakfast before going off to class, but when he happened upon them talking, he had involuntarily stopped in his tracks there in the hallway, listening.

Back in his luxurious bedroom, he slumped on the bed and then lay back, staring up at the ceiling. Reo and Aiden’s conversation kept playing in his head, and then just like that, he found himself back there again, that seventeen-year-old kid listening to his dad and stepmom arguing.
