Deviant King (Royal Elite 1)

“You don’t get to escape this,” she grinds her teeth.

“Escape what?” I stand right at her back.

She jumps up and Aiden whips his head towards me. It’s like I’ve caught them off guard.

A frown etches between his eyebrows, but there’s no trace of guilt.

But then again, Aiden doesn’t do guilt.

“Make a noise, would you?” Silver cuts me a glare over her shoulder. “Creep.”

What is she talking about? I’m pretty sure I made a sound when I approached them.

Right?

“What are you doing here?” I meet her haughty gaze with one of my own.

“I don’t answer to you, bitch.”

“Watch it, Queens,” Aiden warns.

“Oh, so now that you’re dipping your dick in her, I should watch it? Is that it?” She places a hand on her hip as she faces me. “How does it feel to have leftovers, Frozen?”

I’ve had enough of Silver and her bitchiness. I’ve had enough of everyone controlling my life or humiliating me while I choose to be the better person.

I. Have. Had. Enough.

Aiden steps forward, but I act first.

My hand shoots up and I grab a handful of Silver’s hair. She shrieks as I tug her head back so I’m staring down at her.

The expression on my face must be scarier than the tug because Silver’s lips clamp shut and her face contorts.

“If you throw one more snide remark my way, I’ll fucking kill you. I’ll cut you from limb to limb and bury you in the back garden.” I smile. “And stay away from Aiden.”

There’s a need to hurt her. To stab her. To see her bleed —

Steel blood runs through your veins, Princess.

You’re my masterpiece.

My legacy.

As if the words burn, I let Silver go with a shove.

She stumbles forward, massaging her scalp. “Crazy bitch.”

“Leave, Queens.” Aiden’s voice is tight, but I’m not hearing him properly. Those haunting words keep playing at the back of my head.

Steel blood. Princess. Masterpiece. Legacy.

I’m too caught up in my own thoughts that I don’t notice Silver charging at me.

Aiden steps between us, facing her. “Leave.”

“This isn’t over.” She wiggles a finger my way then turns to Aiden. “You, too, King. It’s far from over.”

Silver disappears around the corner or down the street, I’m not paying her attention.
