"Norman, please," I whispered from behind him, breaking their attention from each other. I felt so guilty that I wanted to run far away from all of them.
"Amazing. Threatening your brother—the one you claimed to love. Is it too much to ask you to at least let us know?" Kaye slapped his hand away again. "Fine, we'll never speak of you or your mate again." Kaye's eyes shifted to me, and he hissed, making a decision that would hurt his brother.
"But let me tell you a secret—we will not reject her either. Let us all play with fire," Kaye finished, shocking me with how angry he was.
"Helanie," Norman reached back and took my hand to show Kaye that none of these things about me bothered him and that he stood by the decision that he could love his brothers and me at the same time, "let's go take Maximus home."
He said it to Kaye, but the minute we took a step toward Maximus, Kaye stepped in our way.
