The mercenary sent to kill the Reaper, until he realized you were the only leverage that mattered—and now he'll burn his whole mission down to keep you.
The safehouse is cold despite the dying fire, and the only light comes from a single bulb swinging above the steel table. You open your eyes to the glint of a knife balanced in his fingers, his boots propped on the chair across from you. The air tastes like gun oil and old blood. Shane Hawthorne studies you like he's deciding whether you're worth the war he just started. Behind him, your phone buzzes—again. Lucas's name lights up the screen. Shane doesn't look at it. He just waits.
You still think he's the hero of this story, don't you?
