LOGINMaverick tried to comfort her, “In this room, this clubhouse, and this compound, you are safe.”Paige studied him with her silver eyes. “Are you sure? I-I don’t want to die.”“I’m fucking positive.” He growled. “If that bastard wants to come here and start trouble, he’ll find he can’t push through us so easily. We’re the Tennessee Breeds MC.”Paige wanted to lean on him but she hesitated. She didn’t know why but she trusted him from the moment she opened her eyes. Most of the time she didn’t get close to anyone, she didn’t dare. Every time she did, something bad happened and she’d end up alone again. She had learned a long time ago not to depend on anyone else, so that way, there was no disappointment wh
“No we don’t but we do know they tasered her then shot her up with something to knock her out.” Maverick growled.“As I don’t know what they gave her, all we can do is wait until she comes around to talk to her,” Cowboy told them. “Which could be anywhere from five minutes to five days.”“I wonder if she’s connected to Brian Williams or something else the Russian’s had going on?” Breed put out there.“Maybe Kizzy would know if she’s connected to Brian,” Maverick suggested.Breed shrugged. “I can ask her.” He turned to go down the hall to collect Kizzy.When they returned a few minutes later, Kizzy took one look at the woman a
In the middle of the night, Leon woke up to his phone ringing. The ring tone told him who was calling and he really didn’t want to answer this particular call. He looked over at his wife and found her still asleep. He realized then that she’d taken a sleeping pill and she wouldn’t wake up until morning. He figured he’d better take care of this sooner rather than later. He didn’t want anyone to overhear this call. So he got out of bed and answered as he went to his office. “Hello.”“What the hell did you do?” The voice on the other end had a slight accent to it. The accent was fading but still there, much to the owner’s disgust. Timothy Flynn didn’t want anyone to know he had ties to the Irish mob, even though he wasn’t part of the organization he still had friends associated with it.&ldquo
At midnight the door to his apartment opened. Yuri had been waiting for the two men to join him.Barshan and Roman came in.Yuri poured all three of them a drink and passed them out. “Did you find her?”Barshan nodded. “We did. She’s with Mikial and Pepper at a safe house.”Yuri tightened his jaw. “Why isn’t she here?”“She refused to come here,” Barshan replied.“This is her home.” Yuri growled as his fingers tightened on the glass he held in his hand.Barshan shrugged. “She told us if we made her come back here, she would find a way to escape, and no one wo
“You don’t remember?” Mikial frowned.“No, I never remember anything, just the overwhelming fear in my heart.”“You were calling out for your mother. You also told someone you had to go back for your mother, you claimed she was hurt and that the fire would burn her.”Pepper shivered.Mikial hugged her a little closer. “You were begging someone to let you go, then you flinched like someone struck you.”“I did?” she asked, startled.“Yes, you did. You rolled up in a fetal position like someone might attack you, as if that person might strike you…Has someone beaten you in the past?”
Pepper told them, “I do know that I was scared and hurt when they found me. I don’t have a clue about what scared me or why I was so frightened.”“We need to get you two to a safe place,” Sazon repeated.“What about my roommate?” Pepper asked.“Can you tell her you’re staying with friends for a few days?” Mikial asked.Pepper shrugged. “I suppose I could.”“Then do it,” he ordered. “We need to get you under cover now.”“I’ll go if she goes,” Pepper announced, nodding at Raven.Raven glared at him. “I’ll go with
Raven went on, “Carlos taught us how to hide in plain sight, being a small girl, I could hide very well. I could also sneak out of any room he put me in. Over the years, I have gotten out of many locked rooms, so you should know you really can’t keep me
Raven nodded at Andria. “It took me a while to realize it was you. I watched you eat every single one, did you know that you still make that same noise when you eat chocolate drops? It’s sort of a humming groan. Then I followed you home, so I woul
Raven went on as she stared at Nicky, “You may not remember the fight she had with Grandma the day she dropped us off there, but I do. You were only three but I was eight. Grandma told her not to continue playing dangerous games but Mom just laughed at her. S
Nikoli broke the silence, “Tonight I would like to have dinner with some friends of ours. I would like to introduce you to them.”“Really?” Nicky exclaimed.“Of course, you must meet these men. I want them to finally meet my son.” He beamed. “After all, they have been searching for you every day of
