All Hail (Queen Crow, #1)

by J. Bree

I open the box and immediately I want to cry. I want to breakdown and weep like a child because there’s never been a better gift for me. It’s the necklace Lips gave me for Christmas, the little platinum cage with the blue diamond in there except now there’s another diamond in there with it. Dark, brilliant green that’s the same shade as his eyes. A lump forms in my throat. “You chewed me out for going back in there and getting shot, remember? I couldn’t leave the necklace behind… after what happened, I couldn’t have you lose that too.” I swallow and slip the chain over my head. It’s a little tight but I make it work until the little cage and the priceless diamonds are hanging over my bare chest. “You know that Lips gave it to me as a favor? If anything happened to me I could use it on her behalf and no matter the cost, she’d fulfill the favor.” He smiles and nods. “Of course. I’m taking a leaf outta the Wolf’s books and I’m not giving out favors… except that one. Just for you, Queenie.” I blink away my tears and swallow around the lump in my throat until I can speak without sobbing. “I would like it if you stayed the night.”
