Chapter 21
SiennaI crumpled to the floor with Bella's arms around me when I heard the news broadcast that Cole was dead. I could hear my family talking around me, but I couldn't make myself understand. Cole's car had been found. Someone had run him off the road, and the fuel tank had ignited, and there was no way anyone inside had survived. They were saying he was dead. Cole's dead. No, that couldn't be true. I had just seen him last night, and we were meeting tonight. I was going to the cabin tonight to see him."Sienna, look at me." Bella snapped as she held my face in her hands, and I realized that this must not have been the first time she tried to get my attention. I focused on her tear-streaked face as she asked me if she could help me up. "Who" I mumbled as she shook her head and held me close. I was dimly aware of my three siblings

Cole"How was she?" I asked Jace as soon as he walked back through the door to the cabin.Jace motioned for me to move out of the doorway and let him in. I sighed as I watched him slowly peel his jacket off and hang it up before sitting on the couch. I knew he was purposefully taking his time to annoy me, knowing I was as wound as a coiled spring. "She's fine now that she knows you're alive. She thinks Luca and Matteo may be behind this, and she tried to batter me with a baseball bat. I told her that you would phone her. I think she will be much better when she hears your voice. I also told her that you wouldn't be able to see her for a while." he told me as he threw his phone at me. He stood from the couch, placing his hand on my shoulder. "I'll give you some privacy.” I waited until Jace had left the room and closed the door before I phoned Sienna. I was desperate to hear her voice, but truth be told, I was scared to listen to the grief and suffering that she had been through, thin

SiennaI felt emotionally exhausted, like I could sleep for a month, and it still wouldn't be enough. On the other hand, my brain wouldn't stop running in circles. Bella and I had done nothing but lay in her bed in silence since Jace had left after deciding we would go back to my house tonight. Jace hadn't been gone long when we heard banging at the front door. We both jumped from the bed, and like with Jace, I grabbed the baseball bat, and Bella grabbed her phone, both of us freezing when the front door opened and someone started walking up the stairs."How easy is your house to break into?" I hissed to Bella."I don't know; no one has broken in before tonight," she hissed back to me."Sienna, Bella, it's Ryder. Can I come in?"We both breathed a sigh of relief as Bella opened the bedroom door. "What the fuck are you doing? I have a doorbell,""I didn't want to scare you," he replied with a shrug."Then don't break into someone's house, you moron. You ring the doorbell and wait to be

ColeI was still climbing the walls when Jace returned and filled me in on his meeting with Luca and Matteo, and even more so when he told me that Sienna had been followed by someone other than Ryder. I felt sick when he told me that Bella had brazenly walked up to the guy with a coffee and told him she knew he was following them. Anything could have happened to her. She then went up to Ryder and asked him if he had even noticed the other guy, which he assured me he did.Luca told Jace that he and Matteo were sure they had taken care of the guys behind the hit on Sienna. Perhaps the hit wasn't just about getting revenge on them. Still, as the months passed and nothing else had happened, he put it to the back of his mind but now, with what happened to me or at least what they think happened to me, Luca agreed to look into it again for Sienna's sake more than anything as he knew she was hurting. He also wanted to make sure she was out of danger. Still, Luca always thought our presence a
