With my fists tightened, tears falling down my face from frustration, and my anger at an all time high, I spin my body around to face Harry, unable to bottle up my emotions any longer.

"Harry, you need to get one thing straight," I seethe to him. "I am no longer the weak girl you once met. I have been running this fucking gang for two years now and if my men and women are fighting, so am I."

Suddenly, Harry steps up towards me and grasps my arms tightly to make me look right up at him. I burn my gaze right into those deep emerald eyes, not standing down.

"Esme, I understand you aren't that girl anymore, but, I'm not going to have you in a situation that can get you killed," Harry says in desperation towards me, his glossy eyes filled with agony and urgency.

"I lost you once, I can't lose you again."
