Vicious Queen (Boneyard Kings, #2)

by Becca Steele

If she wanted to win, something must be done. Because she wasn't a princess, nor a mere pawn. If she wanted to win, a vicious queen she'd become.

“Kids should not be denied doing the things that make them happy.”

Somehow, she’d worked her way under my skin, and I knew that she was there to stay. No matter what happened.

Maybe, just maybe, Everly didn’t have to be a sacrificial pawn, but a fucking queen. “Don’t ever run away from us,” I warned.

“You need to take pity on me and fuck me. I feel like my virginity is starting to creep back on me.”

Everyone gets scared sometimes. You just have to make sure that they don’t see it. There are people out there, bad people, who will seize on any bit of weakness they sense from you. Being brave… that’s about acting in spite of your fear.

I couldn’t help the smile that spread on my face. For hours, she stayed outside with us. She helped me and my brothers by getting us equipment. Handing out waters, keeping little kids entertained. I caught not only myself, but my brothers gazing at her in wonder. How could one girl be so perfect for all of us?

“That you’re now one of us. We live for each other and won’t hesitate to die for one another too, and that now includes you.”
