“And that’s why you need to be protected Fear is not so to be worried about or even asha that fear”

She stared at Gabriel

It was like her big brother was back, but she couldn’t bring herself to trust him, not yet

“Are you afraid of him?”

“I knohat he’s capable of as well I don’t trust him Father or not He lives for the Denton nah not so long ago he lost touch with reality and he’s not been able to get it back” Gabriel looked toward her “I’ this to protect you I know you don’t want it, but I’ it back either”

“What are you up to?” she asked

“Protecting my family, what else I know you don’t trust ive a shit We’re all Coltons You think I don’t realize how dangerous that h?” He shook his head “I’ to do that Owen, Wyatt, yourself included, I would die for each and every single one of you Make nonice to make sure you’re all protected I know you don’t want to hear that”

“It’s fine”

Gabriel pulled up outside of her apartment “Where are Owen and Wyatt?”

“I snuck out”

“For fuck’s sake You’re going to be the death of me”

Cli out of the car, Gabriel wouldn’t let her leave until he opened the door He grabbed her ar her back into the room

She hated it when he did this

Once they were inside, he went straight to their apartment

“You two fucks need to learn to pay better fucking attention,” Gabriel said, yanking her in front of them “She could have died today”
