Rhett

I went around and opened the car door for her to get out, pulling her to my side as we walked toward the bar.

"ID?" A brawny man with skin as dark as ivory barked from the entrance.

I passed him my ID, noticing belatedly that it was the fake ID I had made a few years ago so that I could get into bars and clubs. Lana also passed him her ID and smiled sweetly at the man until he grunted, passed our IDs back and let us pass.

The interior was typical of a bar; dark with the only lighting being the neon signs hung on the walls around the venue. There were approximately twenty people inside, so not exactly the best turnout for the band.

"Rhett, darling! You came!" I hear

  • The Curse of the Seasons   Chaper 28

    ColeSpending the evening with Willow had seemed a no-brainer at the time, but it quickly became rather obvious that Harley and her did not see eye to eye. It made me worry.I get it, you don’t need to be friends with everyone - but Willow was the face of the company I had set up. She had also taken over some of the communication between Lana and myself. After all, it was natural for her to be contacting her best friend. I was just lucky that the military hadn’t joined the dots, or else they would have figured out who Willow was.“You said Lana and Rhett will be going to the beach house?” I clarified, sitting down on the sofa and pulling Harley onto my lap.It was an uncharacteris

    HarleyThe words I was about to say lodged in my throat as the door opened and a dainty woman walked in, the blue accents in her black hair making her seem more like a punk rocker than the white button up shirt, black pencil skirt and stoic heels suggested.“I'm glad to see you're still alive,” she teased as she walked over to Cole, completely ignoring me, and kissed his cheek.He looked slightly awkward but didn't push her away. “Willow, you're looking well yourself.”She huffed dramatically and folded her arms. “No thanks to you! I swear, I lose a year off my life every time you go radio silent.”If I

    ColeI've lived this scenario a hundred times over in the last couple of years. Leaving a place in the middle of the night with sirens and helicopters chasing me down. It seemed to happen whenever I was getting comfortable in a single area. I guess that's why I was constantly moving.It was like a never-ending nightmare all because the General felt it was worth the hunt.“Where are we going?” Harley asked as we pulled up at a petrol station.I shook my head at her, my eyes never leaving the small group of men hovering beside a black SUV. They laughed about something before they got into their vehicle and drove off, not sparing us a glance.

    HarleyI ran as fast as I could away from the shed, not daring to look back until I had broken through the trees and found myself blocked by a cattle fence, four strands of wire running parallel to each other and secured to iron posts. I easily slipped through the fence and walked steadily between the cows, every breath I took came out ragged.In the centre of the field, I fell to my knees as the emotions poured out of me. The fact that I had almost been assaulted played over and over in my mind and I felt dirty. I rubbed at my skin where Julian had touched me, feeling as if his lips had tainted my flesh.I screamed in anger as the feeling just wouldn't subside. The cows glanced at me before they lazily moved away, chewing their cud at a safe distance from the ma

    ColeI stormed out of the building, even more frustrated than when I had first entered. The Charter House had been an utter bust. The run-down house was completely empty and it looked as if even the rats had given up on the place and had moved out, leaving the shabby building to spiders and the ghosts of the past.The bar seemed like the next logical place. Typically bars had lots of people going in and out, most of them completely inebriated. It wouldn't have seemed strange for the owner to carry an unconscious girl through the doors - people would just think she couldn't hold her liquor and that good old Bandit was making her lie down and recover before sending her off on her way.I'd entered the place filled with hope and when I noticed the bar was fille

    ColeI cannot explain the feeling of knowing you've spent years searching for someone, only to have them stolen from your grasp. The moment Jay told me that the Rebels’ leader - a notorious bastard they called Bandit - had Harley and that they were holding her hostage until he paid back money he stole from them prior to his incarceration I knew that it was bad. And then he confided that he had been working with a police investigator trying to nail the Rebels for transporting and selling drugs. I wanted to throttle him. I wanted to put my hands around his neck and squeeze until his eyes bulged. It was probably a good thing that his sponsor arrived at that moment and insisted that Jay stay with him for a couple of days. He needed to get a handle on his addiction and I needed to get a handle on my emotions.The temperature in the house had dropped substantially and I took pleasure in watching Jay shiver with the cold as he stuffed clothing into a bag. Every breath he let out resulted i
