of being around a wolfdog had taught him. “What are you going to do?”
Blayne moved in closer until they were nose to neck. “Gwen is my best friend and I’m going to do what I can to ensure her happiness.”
“And Gwen is my baby sister and I’m going to do what I can to ensure her safety. Guess who wins?”
“The one not afraid to set you on fire?”
“Okay, okay.” Bren stepped between them. “Everybody just calm down.”
Blayne looked around Bren. “Don’t fuck with me on this, Mitch.”
“Don’t get between me and my sister, Blayne. She’s going back to her Pride.”
“Like hell she is.”
“Both of you stop it,” Bren said again. “You both want the best for Gwen, isn’t that all that matters?”
“Oh, shut up!” Mitch and Blayne yelled together.
Bren stepped back. “Fuck you both then.”
“Look, Unstable Girl,” Mitch said while poking Blayne in the forehead, “you know how far I’ll go to protect my baby sister. Don’t push me.”
“And,” she replied calmly, “I’ll tell you like I told Frankie Caramelli in the tenth grade after he inappropriately touched me in gym class, and while I was bricking him up in the church wall after I bound and gagged him…don’t mess with me.”
Then she punched him in the chest and walked off, the wild dogs disappearing with her.
Rubbing his chest where she’d hit him, Mitch glowered blindly across the street. “She’s up to something. She’s trying to keep Gwen here for some reason.”
“Maybe because they’re best friends and she’d rather Gwen be here than in Philly?”
“Oh, please. Blayne Thorpe has never been that linear. Trust me, it’s not that simple.”
“Uh…” Bren said, “maybe we should let this go anyway.”
Shocked at his brother, Mitch demanded, “Why would we do that?”
“Lots of reasons, but mostly because I don’t want to be bricked up in a wall like Frankie Caramelli.”
Mitch rolled his eyes. “Don’t be such a wuss! They found Caramelli after, like, eight hours. He was a little dehydrated, but he was alive.”
