“Angel and I. We were with her when she found out, when she took the test.”
Wolf shook his head. Unbelievable. “And after she left, you honestly thought I knew? Did I act like a man that knew that shit? Did you really think that I would have let her go if I’d known?”
“Wolf,” Crash warned in a tone that cut him no slack.
The corner of Wolf’s mouth pulled up in a smile that was more sneer than anything else. “And when she lost it, you know about that, too?”
Shannon nodded.
“And the goddamn suicide attempt, did you know about that as well?” He surged to his feet in frustration.
She stared up at him in shock, her voice barely audible. “What?”
He turned on her. “Were you ever gonna tell me? Or was that all part of the secret?”
“Wolf, what the fuck are you talking about?” Crash demanded, rising to his feet as well.
Wolf answered him, but his eyes remained boring into Shannon’s. “I’m talking about Crystal slitting her goddamn wrists.”
“What?” Shannon paled, her eyes beginning to fill.
“I see she obviously kept that secret from both of us.”
“What are you talking about, Wolf?” Crash demanded.
“She tried to kill herself. I saw the fucking scars.”
“Scars?”
“Yeah, scars. She has them. She likes to keep them hidden, but they’re there. Both wrists.”
Shannon burst into tears, covering her face, and Wolf felt like ten kinds of asshole.
Crash pulled her into his arms, glaring at Wolf over her shoulder for putting this hurt on his woman. “You get what you came for?”
Wolf flung his bottle into the alley below where it shattered. “Yeah. I guess so.”
He moved to walk past the two and head out, but Shannon stopped him with a hand on his sleeve. “Wait, Wolf. Don’t go.”
He froze, his eyes falling to her hand.
“I didn’t know. I swear. She never said a word.”
Wolf gave a single nod.
Shannon’s eyes moved imploringly to Crash’s.
“Babe, go inside. Give me a minute with Wolf.”
She nodded and fled.
Wolf stared over at Crash. “I shouldn’t have come.”
“That was a shit thing to do, Wolf. I know you’re hurting, but don’t think for a minute that I’m gonna stand here and let you dump on my ol’ lady and not
say shit about it. Shannon doesn’t need to carry the guilt for anything Crystal did. This shit is all between the two of you.” Crash let out a frustrated breath and growled, “Sit down.”
Wolf hesitated.
