Destruction (Bonetti Bastards #1)

Chapter 1

CHAPTER ONE

KILLIAN

Iwas their protector.

Was.

I couldn’t see clearly. She confused everything, and I did what I had to, in order to protect my brothers. In the end, I didn’t protect anyone, not even myself. I thought she would be the one who would cost us everything, but I was wrong. It was me.

Hindsight is a fucking bitch. Or maybe it’s karma.

A loss like this feels like an anvil as it crushes my chest, stealing the breath from my lungs.

I stare out at the empty field, a pool of Heather’s blood still visible through the mud and rain, and wish I could go back in time and change everything.

The lightning strikes, creating sharp, bold, angry lines in the sky. Thunder rumbles, shaking the very ground beneath me. It’s as if God himself is telling me what a fuck-up I am.

I fall to my knees as a sob erupts from my chest.

“Please help me!”

Aside from the storm, there’s nothing but silence all around me. Nobody is coming to save me from myself. There is no undoing what I have created.

Destruction.
