“DeMarco.” I can actually hear the snap of his teeth slamming shut at the sound of my voice. I’m not ashamed to say I enjoy the hell out of the power I have in Mounts Bay. “That car is here for me. Let them through and apologize to the little rich fucks.”
I love her
“I’m a Mounty. I’m a foster kid. I was a child of neglect before that. Last year I was the target of a game that had most of the male population of this school following me around bugging me for sex every day. I’ve had to threaten Harley’s psycho cousin with a knife to the dick. You think I don’t have experience fighting off rapists? Please. Go back to your privileged, gilded fucking towers and leave me the hell alone.”
Fuck yes u tell him girl
I don’t want random hot guys. I want a mobster’s son with the face of an angel and the rap sheet of a street kid. I want the singer with a soft heart wrapped in barbs and trip wires of devastating wit to keep it safe. I want the billionaire’s unwanted son with eyes of ice and an endless love for his sister.
Hihi
He gives Avery a quick hug and then he grabs Joey’s legs to start dragging him down the hall. He holds them with the same enthusiasm you’d grab a pile of shit with bare hands. I watch with satisfaction as Joey’s head slams into every bump and chair leg on the way. I swear Harley is picking the most damaging path. I like his style.
Hahaha
I’m going to have to take out both Joseph Beaumonts one way or another.
I scrub a hand over my face and try to look stern, to hide just how whipped I am for this guy who still thinks I’m trash.
Hehe
He is absolutely breathtaking. Literally, I can’t breathe if I look at him for longer than a second. But I’m seriously tempted to scratch his eyes out right then.
HAah girl
Why am I not a lesbian?
HAHAHA girl i feel ya
Again, I adore this girl so fiercely I wish I were a lesbian and I could lock this shit down.
Haha
I’m helping Ash get his head out of his ass. I see how much you’re doing for us. I see how much Avery means to you. I see that you’re one of us. He needs to open his eyes and see it too. Fuck, even Morrison sees it and he’s usually too far up his own ass jotting down morbid love poems to see anything.
Aww Harley finally
“Maybe it matters because I’m fucking worried about you. Maybe it matters because if someone is threatening you I want to know about it. Maybe I take this friendship pretty fucking seriously. You gave up a diamond for me.”
“When I beat Hillsong for you last year, called Avery off, told all of the guys they couldn’t approach you, I did all of that because I wanted to be your friend. So let me in. Tell me why you don’t want to get involved with someone who goes here.”
“One day you’re going to trust me to have your back, Mounty.”
“The Jackal does everything. Drugs, guns, extortion, kidnapping, fucking everything. He’s a gang leader, through and through. And the Wolf… is invisible. Collects things. Does things no one else wants to do and the stuff no one else can do. I’m good at not being seen.”
“Fuck, Mounty, don't make this even harder for me than it already is,” he groans
Blaise exhales and tips his head back to blink at the ceiling like I'm testing him. Oh. Right. My mind kicks back online and I realize I'm drooling all over him and he's just trying to study. He's so beyond not interested that he's actually repelled by me. Fuck.
Girlll u clueless
I’ve been stabbed, shot, burned, snapped, chained, broken, and beaten. I need to get some perspective and get over the embarrassment of that pity kiss. I get close to believing myself.
“She told him that she’d end him if he tried to touch you again. When did he touch you?”
Hahahaha
“Arbour was defending his love. He thinks I’m trying to steal his girl out from under him and he can be a jealous shit.”
Of course he did
Harley has a girlfriend? Blaise is trying to steal her? I don’t like the sound of either of those things. Blaise is pity kissing me and then out hunting his best friend’s girlfriend. Wow. Why do I like this asshole so much? At least now I’m not feeling so bad about my actions.
Girl u are so fucking clueless
“Are you blushing right now? What exactly has you swooning? The word asshole?” He glares at me and rolls his eyes. “Shut up, Mounty, I’m not fucking swooning. No one has ever called me decent before and my reaction is one of shock. It doesn’t happen often so you wouldn’t have seen it before and don’t expect to see it again.”
Hahaha
“Didn’t Harley tell you?” Ash gives me an incredulous look. “He doesn’t tell us anything that involves you.”
Hehe
He's being sweet and kind, and, fuck it, if I don't want him spending another Christmas alone. I cannot function on my birthday but I could force myself today if it means this much to him.
They killed him. Then, they held me down and tattooed me.
Jeez
The tattoo was shit, looked awful because I was only nine when they did it, and I was screaming and trying to get them to stop.
Damn
I let his words soak in but one thing is clear to me. Liam and Domhnall O’Cronin are going to die. Fuck it, I’m going to wipe every last O’Cronin out of the state, barring Harley and maybe Diarmuid.
“If Joey touched you, I'm driving to his place tonight and I'm setting it on fire. I will burn that fuck alive.”
Hihi
I seethe and eat ice cream, licking my spoon like it has the answers to this shit. “Stop tongue fucking the spoon. Some of us are going through a dry spell.”
HAHAHA
“Where the fuck did you come from?” I snort and pat his leg the way Avery does when she thinks I’m being simple. “A drug addict. Or a meth lab, depending on which specific you were looking for.”
Hihi
Sweet lord, for a virgin I am managing to get around.
Hahhah
I’m sorry I didn’t tell you and I’m sorry I’ve now made out with all three of your... people.”
Hahaha
“You’re going to drop out and go home to the Bay. You’re going to keep your head down and never, ever say my name again. You’re going to take a vow of celibacy. You’re going to go to bed every night and pray to fucking God that I don’t come looking for you. You’re going to watch the shadows and remember that I’m watching you. Because I am watching you, Lance. You’ve gotten my attention and, fuck me, you have no idea how bad that really is for you.”
Fuck yes girl
It's only in the black light that you can see the ink that covers me. The skeletal structure I've had tattooed to my skin, the jaw opening wide etched in my cheeks with vicious teeth. Every inch of my body is covered in the whorls and arches that imitate the pelt. The black light shows that underneath the human facade I wear the truth of who I am. The Wolf.
Holy shit
“Those idiot boys have no idea how fiercely the Wolf of Mounts Bay guards them.”
“Stop me now, Mounty, or I’m going to kiss you. No pity, no ulterior motives, just a kiss because I can’t stop myself.”
“I used one to save you. One to get Senior out of the way until graduation. Now I've used another to cut Joey off. I don't regret it and I'd do it again. We’re all getting out of this alive, even if I have to call in every favor I have. That's why I have them.”
“Most importantly, don’t ever tell anyone my middle name is Starbright.”
These three have all just agreed that I’m the priority, that my safety trumps every other issue we have going on. My welfare and safety has never been a priority to anyone other than myself. It’s a terrifying, amazing thing.
“I'm weird. I wear guys’ shirts and sweaters with booty shorts and skirts. I listen to the same three albums on repeat. I like French toast, coffee, and cherry anything. I don't function my birthday or Christmas. I can kill a grown man eight different ways with nothing but my bare hands. I’m never going to be normal.”
“If you're trying to warn us off, it's not going to work. We've never agreed to anything as quickly as when we agreed to share you. I'm not planning on wooing you, I'm planning on doing whatever I need to do to get to keep you.”
Aww Ash
