Cole's POV

Ambrose stumbled backward, his hand clutching at his chest where the bullets had split through his skin. Blood bloomed across his shirt, spreading quickly, and he hit the table behind him before crashing to the floor. The sound echoed through the room, followed by a split second of stunned silence. Then Vex Mercer roared, pointing at me from the high table.

"Grab him! Get that bastard now!"

One second I was standing alone in the middle of the room with my gun still smoking in my hand, and the next second I had Revenant soldiers swarming around me. They formed a tight circle, shoulder to shoulder, blocking anyone from getting close. Even though I'd just killed our leader and president, I was still their vice president. They had a duty to protect me.

I looked around and took stock of the situation. We were outnumbered two to one. The Iron Serpents and the Reapers had closed in on us, forming their own wall of bodies, and every single one of them was armed and ready to tear us

    Raine POV No matter how hard I scrub my skin, oil still lingers. Even if I scrub my knuckles until it burns or until the water turns black it never leaves. So I don't bother anymore.This is what I love and I guess certain things come with certain consequences. And this is what I get for playing with oil. Cute girl aesthetics was never really my thing to begin with anyways.I was rinsing my hands behind the shop when I heard the bikes approaching the house.I didn’t need to look up to know it was the Iron serpent returning to the club house. I has grown up with that sound. It was a sound meant to remind the world who owned the road.But my stomach tightened with tension when a small attendant who had just hoi the club rushed to the shop to inform me my dad was calling me in. I shut off the tap and wiped my hands on my jeans, even though it didn’t help. I took in several deep breaths to calm my nerves as I approached the club house. The sun was already dipping low, giving the sky a

    Raine's POVI was so embarrassed that I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole. Here I was, a grown woman, standing in a grown man's bedroom while he was half-naked and dripping water everywhere. I tried to look away, but my eyes had other plans. They traveled down his chest, tracing the lines of his toned muscles, the curve of his biceps, the v-line that disappeared into the towel wrapped around his waist. And then God help me, I saw the outline of his penis through the towel.Heat pooled in my stomach, and I forced myself to look up at his face instead."What did you come to ask me?" he questioned, one eyebrow raised.I scrambled for an answer. "Oh, I was just looking for the bathroom."He gestured toward the door on the other side of his room. "Since you're already in here, you can use mine.""Okay," I muttered, practically running toward the bathroom before I embarrassed myself further.I shut the door behind me and leaned against it, pressing my palms to my face. What

    Cole's POVThe second Raine's sister finished that sentence, I stood up and shook my head. "I don't need your help. You two need to leave before you get yourselves killed."But Raine's sister wasn't backing down. She stepped forward, hands on her hips, and launched into what sounded like a prepared speech. "I'm Isla Mercer, younger daughter of Vex Mercer. You probably already know who my father is, considering you guys have been at each other's throats for years. But here's the thing, I can help you more than you realize. I've got connections, resources, friends and—""Stop!" I interrupted, moving toward them. "I appreciate the offer, but no. Get the fuck out of here!"Isla kept talking like I hadn't said a word. "—and if we're being honest here, you're going to need all the help you can get right now. The Reapers and the Iron Serpents are tearing the city apart looking for you, and if you think you can handle that alone, then..."I reached them and started gently pushing them both ba

    Raine's POVIsla had been on the phone for twenty minutes already, pacing back and forth near the entrance of the garage. I couldn't hear what she was saying, but I could tell from the way she kept nodding and gesturing with her free hand that she was deep in conversation with someone.I turned my attention back to the bike in front of me. The carburetor was clogged, which explained why the engine kept stalling out. I pulled it apart piece by piece, cleaning out the jets with a thin wire and wiping down the float bowl. It wasn't a complicated fix, but it required patience, and patience was something I was running short on today. I just wanted to get all of this over with, and as soon as possible.I glanced up at Isla again. She was still talking, her voice low and urgent. I guessed she was trying to track down Cole Maddox's address. Isla might be better known for her cooking, but she was equally good at finding people. She had so many tech savvy friends amongst the Iron Serpents and

    Raine's POVThe morning after the Conclave, I tried to get some work done in the garage. Tried being the key word. I had a transmission sitting on the bench that needed rebuilding, but every time I picked up a tool, my brain wandered off somewhere else. I couldn't even sleep last night. The sound of gunshots in my head kept me awake throughout the night. And I could not sleep for the image of Cole Maddox standing there in the bathroom and telling me that he was going to kill his own boss.I set the wrench down for the third time and paced across the concrete floor, my boots scuffing against the oil stains.Isla was perched on the workbench across from me. She had followed me to the garage that day, wearing a denim overall that was way too clean for a garage. She had her legs crossed, watching me calmly."You're not getting anything done, Raine." She pointed out."I know," I muttered, running a hand through my hair. "I can't focus.""Yeah, I can see that."I turned to glare at her, bu

    Cole's POVI woke up with my head feeling like someone was taking a sledgehammer to my skull. It was pounding incessantly!My mouth tasted like death, and my stomach was churning so violently that I knew I would throw up right there on the couch. The empty whiskey bottle was still in my hand, and I stared at it for a second before groaning and letting it roll onto the floor.What the hell did I do?I dragged myself upright and checked my wristwatch. 12:49 in the afternoon. Jesus Christ, I'd been out for more than 12 hours!The last thing I remembered was riding out on Raine's bike, and the wind whipping against my face as I tried to outrun everything that had happened. But I didn't remember coming back. I didn't remember stumbling into the house or collapsing on the couch with the bottle."Fuck," I muttered, dragging a hand down my face. My fingers came away slick with sweat.I stood up, wobbling slightly, and cursed again as I made my way to the kitchen. The coffee maker was still si
