"Aurora just tell us what's happening?" Aaron asked for the tenth time in the past 20 minutes as I stay mute. They dragged me to the living room and made me sit to explain but I haven't opened my mouth for the past 20 minutes and they were getting angry.

I knew that when someone is pressuring you, you will give up eventually but I was trained for that so they can go on and on like that for years and I won't utter a word.  I was raised that way.

Never talk back to the higher than you

Never spill your secret.

Never speak more than needed or less.

Never interfere in conversation that doesn't include you

And most importantly

Never show your emotion.

I still live by the last one forever.

those are the five Nevers in the list of rules.

"Damn it Aurora. Do I need to call Uncle Dimitri so you can talk." Aaron lash out anger coming from everywhere, his word, his tone, his look, especially his eyes.

"Never speak your secret," I whisper lowly letting myself remember the five Nevers.

"We want to help, just tell us, Angel." Ace sounded defeated like he had enough.

They all say that. They just want to help. Last time someone said that I lost a lot of important people in my life. They wanted to win, they wanted the power. Logan will forever be my first enemy. He wanted to help. Yeah right, Help my ass he wanted me dead knowing his uncle will give me the leadership. 

Logan Woods, Peter's nephew the replacement of Gray, Peter's son since he went to the military to get away from what he has to call a family. His twin Greg died in a drive-by when he was 23. This guy was drunk off his ass and got shot from the front. I mean who can blame him his father was a power hunger, abusive person and his mother was a gold digger who feel in love with the wrong guy. Don't ask how they got three kids, it's still a mystery for Sasha. Their daughter Julie ran away at 18 with her now-husband after their graduation, They want to collage and her husband is now one of the most respected billionaires in the world, they have two kids Jake who is 6 and Mark who is 10 with a baby on the way. They were like a family to me but when they all went their own way you could no longer call them a family. Peter kept taps on his children and wife after he realizes he missed and actally have the heart to love them. When he gets too drunk he thinks I am either Julie or Sasha who left him a week after Julie left which followed by Gray leaving. Logan took Gray and Greg's place when his parents send him to a private school in France, he loved the gang life couldn't get enough but he was never better to be a leader so he put the blame on me and ever since hates me. We were friends once way before he discovered what his uncle really is.  I guess you could call it the good old days, it definitely feels like it. I can't remember a happy moment after Gray left if it wasn't my foster parents beating me it was Logan's abusive hands and voice or Peter's knife to let me get to us to torture. Now that I think about it I think it's his way of punishing me without touching me.
