Chapter 14. New Home

Emmi's POV

The party started great, right up until Dante tried shooting an innocent guy. He looked crazed and said things that made no sense, but Gunner told me not to ask and to just forget it.

It was like he was gone. I saw it in Dante’s eyes. He wasn’t there, he was somewhere else, and it took Zane getting involved to make him wake up.

We left the party, and I left like a lady, walking out without screaming and crying. But I refused to say goodbye to my brother or mum. I refused to say goodbye to anyone. They had all controlled me in some ways, or helped my family control me.

I left for a new life, one living with the Wolversons and if they think they can lock me up like my family did, they’re wrong. I will get my freedom. In one way or another, I will get freedom.

Zane's POV

We walk through the door, and Dante instantly disappears. I don’t blame him. Even with almost a lifetime to get ready for this, it seems to have happened so quickly.
