You All Knew
[Serenity’s POV]
I grab Aunt Elise’s hand and begin to lead her out of my room, only to find that Maverick and my parents are in the living room. For a moment, they simply stare at me and Aunt Elise while we remain in place, and when my father’s expression darkens, I know that he’s going to show his ass.
“Serenity,” he says slowly, looking from me to Aunt Elise. “I think it would be best if you didn’t…”
“Hold that thought!” I yell, stopping him. “I know what you’re going to say, but I’m going to have to say I won’t listen to you.”
Swallowing, I watch as a wave of emotions flashes in my father’s eyes before they settle on anger.
Shit. Maybe that wasn’t exactly the best way to put it, but by this point things were too serious to back down, especially if we wanted to get to the bottom of what was happening with these rogues and what could possibly happen to Aunt Elise.
