Petrified Tears
chapter 83
He stood in the doorway, his face dark, eyes darker, watching as the girl and her 'fiancé' got into the limo.
The girl was still distraught, but seemed more emotionally dead than anything. The boy had climbed into the front with the limo driver, no doubt to avoid any awkward conversation; he had seemed human enough, and a nice enough guy.
As for the purple-headed bastard…
He'd had no right to hold her like that. No right at all to murmur so intimately into her ear, to press that kiss to her temple.
He ground his teeth, his black eyes flashing dangerously, a green hue to them. He squared his stiff shoulders and crossed his arms over his chest.
He wouldn't let him get away with hurting her like that.
"Let it go, Brother, it's over," came the voice from behind him. A strong and calloused hand set itself on his shoulder. He turned his head slightly, watching out of the corner of his eye as the limo drove away. Once the car was out of sight, he met the black eyes and black hair inherited from their father head on. His brother smiled reassuringly at him.
"Let it be. He's a better man than either of us would admit to him being right now, and he was right. The boy wouldn't have believed a word she'd have said."
He ground his teeth, unbelieving of his brother.
"It'll all work out. Let it be."
He growled and tore away from his brother's grasp, glaring through the hair that hung over his eyes, past the hair that hung in his brother's.
"Maybe for you. But I can't allow this."
He strolled angrily out into the night, standing in the yard for a moment, letting his anger manifest itself around him briefly. With a growl, he dropped it, and then sprang to the roof, where he crouched in waiting.
