The Devil I Hate (Devil's Knights 1)

I hovered over my brother and Alex, my eyes on her. “Stop touching him. Your grandfather said we have to be careful.”

“Just sit down and shut up.” She pointed at the bed. “Let me take care of Marcello until we can move him.”

Twice in one year. This girl would be the death of the Salvatore men.

I nodded, releasing a deep breath. “As you wish, my queen.”

She held my brother’s hand. “I’m here, Marcello.” Thick tears fell from her eyes. “Don’t leave me, okay? Help is on the way. Stay awake. Can you do that for me?”

A strange emotion tore through my chest again. It hurt watching her show love and affection to Marcello. Nine months ago, she’d tried to kill me and could have cared less.

Was she accepting her role as our queen? Or had her love for me shifted to Marcello?

As my brother’s eyes snapped shut and Alex screamed his name, I wondered what a better man would do.
