Once Upon A Broken Thing Excerpt

My mind strays to Drake and Kade and I wonder how they’re doing, if Drakes staying out of trouble and if they’re blowing off steam at the skatepark. I feel a pang in my chest and realize that I miss my friends. Fishing out my phone, I decided to shoot them a text in our group chat. 

Ash: Sup Dickheads, miss me yet? 

Kade: Always firecracker, when you coming down to visit? 

Drake: Yeah, we haven't had our threesome yet ;) 

Ash: who said we were ever going to have a threesome? 

Drake: Come on, don’t tell me you haven’t been thinking about it. 

Kade: What the fuck Drake? NO!

“I didn’t know you were into threesomes.” a raspy voice whispers in my ear 

“What the hell!” I startle nearly dropping my phone as I turn to face the creeper, who looks like the cat that just ate the creme “What do you want Crash?” 

“Learned my name now did we?” The curly headed blonde raises an eyebrow, smirk growing “Someone's been doing a little digging.” He singsongs avoiding the question “You shouldn’t be smoking that.”

“What are you gonna do? Tell on me?” I taunt 

“No, then you’d get a strike, and we haven't even started having any real fun yet.” He tilts his head, a mischievous glint in his eye like he knows something that I don’t. 

“So what do you want, to choke me again?” 

“That's more of Kai’s kink than mine.” Crash reaches for the blunt that I have pressed against my lips and takes a drag. 

We sit together in silence for a minute just watching clouds float across the sky before a scream abruptly shatters the momentary peace. Looking around the corner of the bleachers I see that something has gone horribly wrong with one of the stunts. A cheerleader lays on the ground, arm bent at an odd angle and a pool of blood seeping from her head with the other girls surrounding her. I turn to ask Crash what he thinks happened, but just as mysteriously as he appeared, he's gone. For a minute, I think I imagined the whole thing but then dread pools in my stomach and I just know. Somehow, someway, He was responsible for this. 

I shiver Natalie’s words coming back to haunt me “You never want to make an enemy out of the brotherhood.” They always get what’s theirs in the end.

Once Upon A Broken Thing Excerpt

“Should we stop her?” I faintly hear Kayden ask in a droll tone as I walk away from them “I feel like we should probably stop her?” He says in a way implying that he would really be inconvenienced if he had to 

“And miss the show thats about to go down, Fuck no.” Crash responds with a chuckle “And to think we get to see this shit for free.” 

I’m shaking with so much anger by the time I get to ring, I barely notice how the sea of people part for me, easily allowing a path, and by the time I finally get there, all rational thought has left my brain. Before I know what’s happening my hand has snaked out and collided with Malachi’s face, a deafening crack echoing throughout the building. 

The sound can he heard for miles as the room goes deadly quiet, people too stunned to utter a word. Even Malachi is shocked at what just transpired. No one has ever dared to pull a stunt like mine and face him head on like this, especially in front of his followers. His shock doesn’t last very long before his face contorts into unfettered rage when he realizes the implications of my actions.  I don’t give him a second to recover before I launch into my tirade 

“Just who the hell do you think you are Malachi McDaniels.” I spit, chest heaving as I try to control my rage  “Who do you think you are to where you get to decide and toy with my life like this. Get this through your thick skull, I. Am. Not. Yours. And. I. Never. Will. Be.” I bang my fists against his chest with each word to get my point across “I can sleep with who I want when I want and there’s nothing you can do about it except sit there and wish it were you.” 

Malachi spits blood, cocking his head to the side and shoots me a grin full of bloody teeth, The rage in his eyes a living breathing thing contrasting with his dead smile. I barely have time to register his arm moving before his fist is smashed into my face knocking me to the ground. It feels as if I’ve just been hit by a garbage truck and I pretty sure I blacked out for a few seconds; that’s how hard he hit me.

“Sweetheart, you have no idea just how much of you I actually own,” He darkly chuckles “Let’s get one thing straight, you are mine.” He bends down and growls in my ear “Mine to torment, mine to play with, mine to please, and mine to own. I don’t share and there’s nothing you or anyone else can do about it.

Once Upon a Broken Thing Excerpt

“Hey, Malachi show me that card please?” 

“Why?” he smirks “You don’t trust me?” 

‘Not one bit.” I say, having nothing to lose with my eyes on his card “Now show me the card.” 

Malachi growls as he flips the card over to reveal the ace of spades and the boys around the table are shocked 

“Wow no one’s been able to call out Kai in years.” Crash says “he’s the hardest to read.”

“Stroke of luck.” I shrug as Xavier reshuffles the deck

By the time the night is over I can barely tell up from down as we load into the limo and make our way home and I’m out like a light when we finally get to the mansion. I’m so out of it that I don’t even notice the four boys sneaking into my room to kidnap me.

Once Upon a Broken Thing Excerpt

I the glass warily, having no intentions of taking it whatsoever, not at all forgetting how they’ve been treating me at school for the past two weeks. 

Malachi rolls his eyes “Don’t worry it’s not drugged.” he says, taking a sip as if to prove it to me 

Still I eye the glass, suspicious, something's not right about the way they’re acting tonight and I’d be a fool to trust that they’ve decided to play nice all of a sudden

“Look, we're about to get into some serious shit in the next few weeks, so it’s better to start trusting each other now, rather than later in a situation where we could possibly die.” Kaden argues 

“Fine.” I take the glass and drown it in one go, ignoring the sense of dread pooling in my stomach as I take a seat in between Crash and Kaden

“Atta girl!” Crash and the guys cheer as he slaps me on the back before passing me the blunt 

However, I just know that I am seriously going to regret this before the night is over

Once Upon a Broken Thing Excerpt

The second I walk into the dinning hall a hush falls over the room as I look for a place to sit. I don’t have to search for long because soon Tyler’s slinging an arm over my shoulders, “You’re sitting with us, baby Greaves. Your brother got held up and asked me to watch out for you.” 

“Actually-” I start

“She’s sitting with us.” A gruff voice suddenly interrupts me and I don’t have to turn around to know it’s blue eyes 

If I thought the dinning hall was quiet before, it’s dead silent now as Tyler and the dude from my homeroom engage in a staredown. I get a few nasty looks from some of the females in the room, especially the barbie looking bitch that appeared to be all over him when I walked in --not that I noticed or anything. I glare at the psychotic asshole in front of me. Why would I want to sit with him, he almost choked me to death this morning. I may not like or trust my brother, but I trust this guy even less. Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.

 “Actually I’m sitting with Tyler.” I say voice firm as gasps fill the room

Once Upon a Broken Thing Excerpt

“I’m not going with you.” I tell him as Nate walks out of the building, football bag slung over his shoulders and his hair wet. 

Malachi rolls down his window from the drivers side “That’s cute, you think you have a choice.” He lets out a fake smile before quickly dropping it “Now. Get. In. The. Car.” 

“Don’t do it Ash,” Nathan calls out behind from behind me 

“Aww look at you trying to act like her brother all of sudden. Where were you at lunch when she needed you.” Crash glares at Nate 

“Look, I’m sorry about that, Ash. Can we talk?” Nathan says looking contrite “I know I messed up today, and I’m sorry. It’s just i’m really trying here and sometimes I feel like you don’t even want me around. I lashed out.”

“Get in the car or Nathan might have a bad accident at practice that shatters his throwing arm.” Kai growls in a low voice when he sees my face softening 

“I’ll catch you later Nathan.” I tell him before opening the back door to the escalade and climbing inside. Malachi doesn’t even wait for me to buckle up before peeling out of the parking lot, flicking Nathan off as he does so.

Once Upon a Broken Thing Excerpt

“It’s showtime.” Xavier’s eyes sparkle as he watches two beefy men drag a struggling man with a sack over his head into the ring. 

The room is charged with anticipation as they wait for what's about to happen next. The crowd goes wild when Malakai enters the ring, taking his shirt off and tossing it into the crowd as he does revealing a ripped stomach with a scar running diagonally across his abs. The men snatch the bag off of the guys head and I gasp when I see, Dawson’s scowling bloody face defiantly glaring up at Kai. 

“What the hell?” I say, knowing what’s about to happen next. I get ready to go down there when Xavier grabs be from behind slinging me around and holding me in place I start to struggle, “Get off of me. I’m not watching this.” 

“Yes you are, the king has spoken and this is your punishment.”
