Chapter 67

King POV

Alyssa runs back into the room, her eyes wide with panic. When her eyes find mine, she bursts into tears. Without thinking, I’m up from the table, wrapping her in my arms. I don’t give a fuck that we have an audience. My girl needs me.

“What’s wrong, kitten?” I murmur, stroking her hair as she shakes in my grip.

“He knows, King.” Her voice cracks as she buries her face in my chest. “He wants you in his office...and he’s probably going to hurt you. I’m so sorry.”

I figured this was coming. After the stupid shit Lauren said earlier, it was only a matter of time before Gray connected the dots. I’d always known that one day I would have to face the music for touching his sister. Well, it’s time.

Mason stands up, his face a mask of calm despite the hint of worry in his eyes. “Need backup?”

I shake my head. “No point. If he’s gonna kill me, he’s gonna kill me whether anyone is there or not. Just text Niko, let him know what’s up.”
