VEGAS POV

BY THE TIME we get home, Pete is curled up on my lap in a deep sleep. I hate to wake he, but I don’t want he sleeping out in the car all night in the cold. I don’t know exactly when Pete snuck he way into my cold, dark heart, but he did.

I care for he. I never thought I would ever care about anyone. It scares me, but also soothes me in a way. Maybe I’m not a complete monster after all.

he told me he loved me. I close my eyes, still hearing he melodic voice say those words. Fuck, I will savor them forever. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to say them back, but I know I have stronger feelings for he than I’ve ever had for any other human being in my entire life.

And the thought of anyone taking he from me has me seeing red. Just thinking about Constantine touching he or thinking he could ever claim any rights to he makes my pulse hammer in my veins like an angry war drum.

And maybe war is the answer when it comes to Constantine. I’ve gone to war for far lesser things. And now that Pete is the most important person in my life, I want everyone to know the lengths I will go through to protect he. I would die for he, come back to life and kill everyone all over again. My vengeance knows no bounds on this earth or in the afterlife.

“What’s wrong?” Pete asks, he head still in my lap.

“I thought you were sleeping,” I say with a smile.

“I could feel you tense up. Did something happen?”

“No. But we are home. I just didn’t want to wake you.”

he sits up and stares at me with he honey-colored eyes. he looks thoroughly fucked with messy hair and smeared makeup, but I don’t think he’s ever looked more beautiful. “Fuck, you’re gorgeous,” I tell he before placing a kiss on he lips. “Let’s get you to bed.”

“And where are you going to be?” He asks as we climb out of the car.

“Kinn and I have some things to discuss,” I say simply before glancing at my first in command. Kinn gives me a nod, and I know he’ll understand what must happen when it comes to Constantine once I explain to him everything that transpired tonight. I’m tired of dragging my feet when it comes to him. Since Constantine won’t comply, I’m going to have to force his hand. It’s now or never at this point. I want to burn his entire empire to the fucking ground, preferably with him in it.

Pete catches up to me before we reach the front door and grabs my hand, pulling me back to he. “Vegas, please, don’t do anything you’ll regret.”

I cock a brow at he. Has he been reading my mind?

“If you’re upset about Constantine, let it go. He’s dangerous. I don’t want you even being in the same room as him, let alone going after him.”

I put my palm on he cheek, and I love the fact that he sinks into my touch. “I’ve tried being lenient with him, and it obviously didn’t work. He knows he crossed a line that should have never been crossed tonight. I want to put him down like the dog he is.”

Pete pulls away from me, anger swarming in he eyes. “No.”

“No?” I ask with a dark chuckle.

“I’m telling you no to getting revenge on him. You can still help the people he’s taken, but from afar and by alerting the proper authorities, if need be.” He touches the lapels on my suit before smoothing them down. “Besides, if you leave, who will be here to protect me? Constantine will come for me when he knows you’re vulnerable and busy trying to take him down.”
