There’s a moment, just before we step out of the bar, where I wonder if we’ve finally crossed a line we can’t come back from. Not because of anything. But because this time, we didn’t hesitate. Levi walks ahead, shoulders squared, hands in his pockets, and Owen follows at a leisurely pace like we didn’t just agree to murder a man for favors. I exhale, flexing my fingers. No second thoughts. No looking back. We made the deal. Now we see it through. Outside, the cold night air presses against my skin, heavy with the smell of damp pavement and pine. The streets are quiet, the town barely awake, and for a second, it almost feels like the world is holding its breath. Waiting. Levi doesn’t stop walking. “Where’s Briggs?” Owen pulls a cigarette from his pocket, tucking it between his lips. “Got a place just outside town. Runs his shit out of an old motel—Red Pines Lodge. Seedy little joint, but it works for him.” Levi doesn’t react, but I catch the way his fingers twitch

The problem with killing for favors is that it never stops at one. It’s a lesson I should’ve learned by now. Finn wanted Briggs dead. We delivered. And in return, we got what we needed—money, weapons, a new car. But just when I thought we could disappear again, something changes. Finn calls in another favor. And this time, the stakes are higher. We’re still here. Still in Red Pines.Too long. Way too long. Levi and I sit in the stolen sedan, parked outside an abandoned motel, the engine off, the streetlights flickering. The kind of place that smells like mildew and regret. Owen is in the backseat, flipping a knife between his fingers, the metal catching the dull glow from outside. He’s been quiet ever since we left the bar, and I don’t trust quiet people. Especially not ones who owe favors. Levi finally speaks. “Spit it out.” Owen glances up. “What?” “You’ve been sulking ever since Finn made that call.” Levi tilts his head, his voice low, steady. “What aren’t

Jonah Carver sits in the back of the car, arms zip-tied behind him, blood trickling from his split lip. He hasn’t said a word since we took him. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Levi drives, eyes locked on the road, his expression unreadable. Owen sits in the backseat beside Carver, twirling his knife like he’s bored, but I know better. He’s testing him. Pushing him. Waiting for him to break. I cross my arms. "So what do we do with him?" Levi exhales, his grip tightening on the wheel. "We figure out how much he knows." Carver finally speaks, his voice rough. "You’re making a mistake." I tilt my head. "And you’re stating the obvious." Carver smirks, blood staining his teeth. "You think killing me is gonna solve your problems?" He chuckles darkly. "You have no idea what’s coming." Owen hums, tapping the flat of his knife against his knee. "See, that’s the problem with guys like you. Always so cryptic. Why don’t you just say it?" Carver’s smir

We are officially making a deal with the devil. And I’m the one who suggested it. Which means if this goes wrong, if Matteo sees through our plan, if we fail, it’s on me. I can feel Levi’s tension beside me as we drive. His grip on the wheel is too tight, his jaw locked, his silence sharp enough to cut. He hasn’t said much since we decided on this plan, but he doesn’t have to. I know exactly what he’s thinking. This is a mistake. But it’s a mistake we have to make. Because if we don’t, we’ll be running for the rest of our lives. And I’m tired of running. The first step is arranging the meeting. Matteo gave us instructions—an old factory on the outskirts of the city, midnight. Classic intimidation tactics. It’s not about the location. It’s about control. It’s about making us feel small. But we aren’t small. And we sure as hell aren’t scared. Owen sits in the backseat, tapping his knife against his knee, the rhythmic click of metal against fabric grating agai

I thought Matteo Rosetti wanted us dead. Turns out, he wants something worse. He wants us working for him. Levi and I stand in the dimly lit warehouse, the red sniper dot still hovering over his chest, guards flanking Matteo, Carver standing off to the side looking smug as hell. Everything about this screams trap. And yet— I can’t ignore the way Matteo watches us. Like he knows we’ll say yes. Like he thinks we don’t have a choice. And maybe we don’t. Matteo steps forward, adjusting the cuffs of his suit, completely at ease, like we aren’t seconds away from putting bullets in each other. "Here’s how this is going to work," he says smoothly. "You two are going to stop running. You’re going to stop playing rebels without a cause. And you’re going to listen." Levi doesn’t move. I barely breathe. Matteo exhales, like this is so tedious for him. "The war between the families is inevitable. You know it. I know it. And when it starts?" He tilts his head. "I want yo

Jules. Her name stares back at me from the paper in Levi’s hands, sharp and inescapable. Matteo wants her dead. And he wants us to do it. The diner hums around us, low conversations, the occasional clatter of dishes. But to me? It’s silent. Because this isn’t just another job. This is Jules. The woman who fought beside us. The woman who stood in the trenches with us. The woman who betrayed us. And now? Now I have to decide if I can put a bullet in her head. Levi watches me carefully, waiting. He doesn’t push. Because he knows. He knows this isn’t easy. Owen, on the other hand, doesn’t seem conflicted at all. He leans back in the booth, arms crossed, smirking slightly. “Well,” he says, breaking the silence. “Guess we better figure out where she is.” I finally look at Levi. His jaw is tight, his fingers curled against the table. He doesn’t like this. Neither do I. But Matteo has made it very clear this isn’t a request. If we don’t do this, We’re

Levi aims and shoots. The gunshot shatters the tension, ripping through the humid air like a blade. One of Matteo’s men drops instantly, a grunt escaping his lips before he collapses onto the floor. Then? Chaos. Levi moves before the next shot rings out, grabbing my arm and yanking me behind an overturned table. Owen ducks behind the bar, cursing under his breath as bullets slam into the walls. Jules? She just won't stop laughing. I glare at her. It's becoming very annoying. "You think this is funny?" She shrugs, unbothered, as she pulls a second gun from her waistband. "Matteo really thought he could take all of us out in one go?" She spins the gun in her palm. "Dumbass." Levi reloads beside me, jaw tight. "Less talking. More shooting." Fine by me. I pop out from cover, firing three quick shots, hitting one, forcing the others to scramble. Owen takes another one down from behind the bar, and Levi, as always, is methodical. Precise. Deadly. And just like th

The sheets are tangled. Levi’s arm is draped over my waist, his breath warm against my skin. I stare at the ceiling, heart still pounding. Neither of us speak. We don’t need to. Because for the first time in a long time We’re not running. We’re not fighting. We’re just existing. And for now? That’s enough. I let my fingers drift across his forearm, tracing faint scars, old wounds. Ones I know the stories behind. Ones I watched him survive. Levi shifts slightly, his grip tightening around me, as if some part of him is afraid I’ll disappear the second he lets go. I won’t. Not tonight. The room is dark, except for the moonlight filtering in through the curtains, casting shadows along the floor. Outside, the lake is still, quiet, the kind of peace we rarely get to touch. I close my eyes. Breathe. Try to hold onto the moment just a little longer. But reality is cruel. Because peace never lasts. And I know deep down, in the marrow of my bones, when

Matteo thinks he has control. That’s his first mistake. His second? Underestimating us. Jules told us about his hideout, a discreet money-laundering operation disguised as a high-end club in the middle of the city. Not his main base, but a crucial asset. And tonight, we’re taking it from him. We sit in the stolen car a few blocks from the club, windows fogged, the air thick with tension. Levi maps out the layout one last time, tracing lines on a torn napkin. “Security at the front entrance. Two guards inside the VIP lounge. One in the back office with the cash.” I tap my gun against my thigh. “And Matteo?” Levi exhales. “Not confirmed, but if he is here, he won’t be alone.” Owen grins, checking the magazine on his pistol. “Sounds like a fun night.” Jules raises an eyebrow. “You really need therapy.” Owen smirks. “Probably.” I shake my head, adjusting my jacket. “Let’s keep this simple. Get in. Get control. Send a message.” Levi meets my gaze. “No survivors?

For the first time in a long time, we’re not running. We’re winning. Matteo tried to trap us, tried to wipe us off the board, but we turned the game against him. And now? Now it’s his empire that’s burning. Now we’re the ones in control. And tonight? Tonight, we celebrate. The safehouse isn’t really a house—it’s an old vineyard on the outskirts of the city, tucked away behind rolling hills and long winding roads. The kind of place no one would ever look for us. Not Matteo. Not his men. No one. The main house is huge, stone walls, vaulted ceilings, heavy wooden beams stretching across warm lighting. It smells like fresh bread, like old wine, like home. Or at least, the closest thing we’ve had to one in years. The living room is alive with laughter, the crackling fireplace throwing golden light over the mismatched crowd gathered here. People who should have died months ago. People who refused to. Theo is leaning against the bar, a whiskey glass in hand, wat
