Helanie:
"Ah! Helanie," Romeo smirked, his eyes widening as he stepped in front of his father. "It is so nice to meet you. But it seems like you have competition. You know, I am their favorite." He pointed at my stepbrothers and then at his chest.
It was so hard for me to keep smiling and act like nothing was wrong, but I was failing to do so.
This demon was their cousin?
"But—they are rogues," I barely spoke, making everyone go silent and focus on what I was saying.
"Yeah, we weren't before. So when we left, our families stayed in packs," Emmet said, reaching over to Romeo and ruffling his hair. Emmet was taller and much broader than him.
And Romeo acted like a puppy in front of him.
Norman was busy on his phone while Kaye sat on the couch, his eyes narrowed at me as if he would eat me alive. Maximus was leaning back against the wall with Charlotte clinging to him.
I was focusing on everyone else so that I could feel better.
