Caden squares his shoulders immediately and I see his teeth grinding. Shit. If I step in now, it’ll only make things worse. If I don’t step in now...oh, I don’t know. Fuck!
Caden’s gaze sweeps over her. He seems so torn. I notice an angry Alayna speaking, but I can only stare at Caden. He flares his nostrils and takes a step towards her as the lights dance across his face.
I can tell this is going to end badly. Caden is now completely submerged and trapped in his mode. It can’t get any worse, so I walk towards them before he does or says anything more that he’ll regret tomorrow.
I stop behind Alayna and look imploringly into my brother’s face. His look glides towards me and he snorts mockingly. Shit, he has switched so fast. His eyes are so icy and he is swaying violently, the likes I haven’t seen in a long time.
He abruptly turns and stiffly trudges away. People automatically avoid him.
“Shit!” Alayna hisses and attempts to follow him, but I stop her.
“Leave him alone right now,” I say, shaking my head as I watch Caden.
I know this evening will end in a way that we will remember for a long time.
I just know it. This here will be a turning point.
A turning point for everyone involved.
