Thirty days later….Babe kept pacing. It should happen today. Thirty days for the moon phases. That was what Rain told her the Elders had said.“Babe, come on. You need to calm down,” Rain said from her chair.They were both out in front of the clinic at the reservation.“I can’t.” She wrung her hands. “I don’t even know if he’s alive!”“He is.” Rain stood from the chair.“How do you know? They have kept him for a month and they wouldn’t even let me see him.”“I know he didn’t die,” Rain said. “I asked Charlie after that first week and
“It is, as I told you,” the holy man spoke. “He saved the life of a Cherokee and they exchanged blood. He is now part of the tribe and as such, he will go through the trials.”“What trials?” Cowboy asked. “He was my patient and a very sick man. He could die without…” His voice faded away as Rain came in. Their eyes locked.Staring back at him, she raised her finger to her lips.“He is no longer your concern now, Breed.” Charlie gave him a nod.“But he has committed crimes!” Shyla spoke up.The three elders looked over at her.The holy man met her gaze. “We are aware, but the ancients have spoken. They say that he is no longer a Unega Gihli. If he lives through Ta'li Nvda then he w
Rain gazed into his intense eyes and nodded. “I want that. It’s sudden, but I do want to stay with you.”Cowboy tucked her to his side. “I knew you were mine the minute I looked up and saw you in my infirmary.”“I knew you were mine too,” she admitted.“Well, when two doctors agree…”She chuckled. “What?”“The prognosis must be real.”They both laughed as they settled into each other’s arms and after a few moments, they fell into an exhausted sleep.The next morning, Breed had his coffee and felt better since Kizzy seemed to be calmer and more accepting of what happened with Brian.Breed marveled that she was his woman and intended to make every day wonderful for her. He’d never been a romantic type but he would sure try with her. Flowers, intimate dinners in their room. Maybe when all this shit was over, he could take her somewhere on a trip, so she could feel freer and heal from all the bad events of the last month. He had thought of all this during the night as he held her close. H
An hour later, Cowboy had let Breed go and told him to eat a large dinner or at least drink some OJ.Breed had grumbled, “Yeah, yeah,” and left.Cowboy noted as usual and with efficiency, Rain had already cleaned everything up in the room.Babe still sat next to Blade. She hadn’t moved the entire time.A new guard just arrived and nodded at them before sitting in his chair by the door.“He won’t be leaving, escaping, or doing anything.” Rain shook her head.“Doesn’t matter,” Cowboy replied. “The MC won’t take any chances.” He looked over at Blade then stretched his arms up as he winced.“Tired?” Rain asked.He lowered his arms. “Yeah. You?”She nodded.“I just hope…” he didn’t finish.Rain stared at him. “What?”He sighed. “That they won’t have another body to bury.”“I feel the same way. He may get sepsis.”Cowboy wasn’t surprised. “Yes, that’s what has me worried too. And we don’t have the facilities to take care of that.”“We could take him to the tribal hospital?” she offered.“Br
Breed caught sight of something in Brian’s hand.Kizzy straightened her body and let out a heavy sigh. “I-I didn’t feel much when you told me Joey had… But I feel grief over Brian. I just can’t help it. He’d raised me since I was little.”Breed stood her up. “I get it.”Her tear stained eyes looked up at him. “You do though, don’t you?”He shook his head, “Kizzy—”She placed her fingers on his lips, cutting his denial off. “You have a brother. In fact, he’s your only brother. Your only sibling too. You then have to decide to…” Her voice fell away.He swiped the
Breed slowly nodded. “He killed Matt then Brick shot Joey. But…”“But what?” Kizzy asked.“Joey took a shot at me.”With a scared gasp, Kizzy stepped close to him and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt.He tucked her in close, next to him. “Blade tossed himself in front of me and took the bullet?”Gasps could be heard from all over the room.“What?” Shyla exclaimed. “That’s not…” Her voice fell away.“So, is he…?” Kizzy asked.“No…” Breed paused. “Well, Cowboy said it was bad.”“So Brian is still okay?” Kizzy asked.Breed dropped his gaze to her. “Yes and no.”“What?”“He told me…” Breed shook his head.“What?” she asked.“He said that he would not die by Joey’s bullet. That he would be dying a whole different way. Then he said he wanted me to take care of you and make sure you were happy.”Kizzy’s eyes widened. “No…” She even managed to laugh. “You must have misunderstood.”Breed slowly shook his head. “No…I understood it clearly.”So,” Crow broke the stunned silence.” Basically, you ar
Maverick 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 want to spend the whole day in this bed with you.” Penny told him as she looked down and saw a bandage over his right pec. Her eyes widened. “What…How did this happen?”Crow slid his bo
Breed looked around. “Ok, Maverick and Buck, get out and look at their vehicle, will you? Viper and the rest of you, bury this trash.” He nodded down at the three dead Russians. “In the morning, we will be handing Brian over to the cops.” He
An hour later…Crow went to his room.Penny had said she wanted to get cleaned up. One of the brothers had finally brought a bag from her car, so she could change.
