When the frint gates open I'm halfway down the stairs before Thomas appears at the bottom.
"They're here." No explanation needed.
I nod once and keep moving. By the time I reach the main hall, I can hear them before I see them….footsteps and voices.
Lucas is the first thing I see when I step in and he doesn't wait, doesn't greet or hesitate before he crosses the distance and his fist slams into my face hard,
My head jerks to the side and I feel it immediately….pain, hea and clean, followed by the metallic taste of blood in my mouth.
"Where is she?!" he screams in my face.
"Where the fuck is my sister?!"
Noah and Caleb are on him instantly, each grabbing an arm, and pulling him back before he swings again.
"Lucas, enough," Noah says, voice tight but controlled.
Lucas fights them for a second, hs muscles tensed, breathing heavy, eyes locked on me like he's trying to burn a hole straight through me.
Caleb grips his shoulder. "Relax."
