"Why the fuck didn't you tell us this before?" Jace said to Gabe. "Can't believe you kept this from us. Especially if you didn't make damn sure Charles wouldn't be a threat in the future."
"I couldn't tell you when it happened," Gabe said between his teeth. "Mia was freaking because she didn't want her brother to know what kind of relationship we had or that we even had a relationship. And then after, it didn't seem so important. He went away. Months passed and he seemed to disappear off the face of the planet. I thought he wasn't going to be a problem any longer."
"What you did was piss him off to the point that he beat the shit out of Josie and now he's gunning for Mia and Bethany," Jace said in a furious tone.
"You need to close ranks around the girls," Ash said, veering the subject away from Jace's fury. He had a right. Mia was his sister. But that wasn't what was important right now. The women's safety was all that mattered.
