Why Don’t You Keep Me? by Rae Knight

When I told the guys I wanted to go back—to learn from my father—I knew it wouldn’t be easy. I knew Diablo wouldn’t approve of the fact that I have three men at my side. But I didn’t expect him to tear us apart piece by piece.

He doesn’t need to kill Blaze, Ryder, and Thorne to take them from me. He just has to make me doubt them. And he knows exactly how to do it.
He separates us, tests their loyalty, and throws temptations in their path. He wants to push them until they fail—until I see them as weak, until I believe they’re not worthy of standing by my side. One crack in our foundation is all he needs to destroy everything we’ve built.
But Diablo underestimates us.
Because we don’t break.
And when this is over, he won’t have an empire left to rule.
