FAZER LOGINRhiannon’s POV~ I jolted awake with a gasp that turned into a coughing fit. My lungs seized, sending sharp pain radiating through my chest with each hack. The dream, nightmare, or whatever the hell that had been with Aunt Elena holding a gun, dissolved like smoke. None of it had been real. The p
Something dangerous flashed in his eyes. "Then I'll keep you here. In this hospital. Under guard. Until whoever tried to kill you is caught and dealt with." He tilted his head. "Is that really what you want? To be trapped in a hospital bed while I hunt down the person who set that fire?" No. God, n
Rhiannon’s POV~ The door burst open. A nurse rushed in, a clipboard in hand, her eyes wide with that particular brand of medical urgency that meant something was wrong. "Mr. Blackwood, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we need to run another chest X-ray. Her oxygen levels are dropping and—" "Get out."
Rhiannon’s POV~ There was a chorus of protests, medical jargon I was too exhausted to follow, but Kieran just stared them down until, one by one, they filed out. The door clicked shut behind the last one, leaving us alone. The silence was almost worse than the chaos had been. Kieran turned back t

Rhiannon’s POV~ "He knows what?" My voice came out flat. Piper was on the other end of the phone. I could hear her breathing too fast. The kind of breathing that means she's pacing. Piper always paces when she's worried. I could hear her sneakers on her floor. "I don't know, girl." Her voice wa
Marcus’s POV~ She began crying again. Tears were running down her face. Dropping onto my chest. "It's okay," she said. "It's okay. I understand. I know you're under a lot of pressure. I know the pack is hard. I know Kieran is... I know everything is hard. And I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. I pr
Marcus’s POV~ It was almost three in the morning. I knew because I checked the clock on the wall when I walked out of the bedroom. Not because I cared what time it was.
