Lahat ng Kabanata ng Riding with the Pack: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

CyrusJust like that, a ten-year-long feud was over. I didn't want to ask Blayze if this meant that Harlow and I could be together. There was immeasurable sadness in the air, and we had thirteen fallen wolves to bury the next day. Not to mention what we'd be dealing with when Madoc came back. It felt selfish and petty to ask his permission. But I didn't have to.Blayze saw me looking at Harlow and gave me a nod. "You two are probably exhausted. Get outta here and get some rest... Or whatever."Harlow looked to Bonnie, who also gave her a nod. Harlow and I were free to do as we pleased and a surge of relief and joy washed over me despite the circumstances. I took Harlow by the hand, and we left the bar."Where are we going?" she asked when we got outside."Is my place ok with you?""More than ok." She smiled.We hadn't slept in about thirty hours at this point, and we were both covered in dirt, sweat, and spattered blood, but she managed to look beautiful. So much bad had happene

Harlow"Are you serious?" Cyrus asked, shocked."Tank and Butch both agree," Blayze said. "It was a mistake to strip you of your patch in the first place. It wasn't fair to treat you that way, especially standing between you and Harlow." I was so relieved to hear this. I'd felt so guilty about Cyrus losing his patch. "Thanks, Blayze," Cyrus said."So is that a yes? Are we good?" Blayze asked. Blayze reached into his pocket and held a new VP patch up, extending it to Cyrus."Yeah, we're good." Blayze and Cyrus gave each other another quick hug. I saw Arlene wipe a tear from her eye. "Aww, my boys," she said with a smile. The warm feelings in the room subsided, however as the holy elder, Jedediah Goode, asked people to gather around into some kind of prayer circle. Bonnie entered and stood near me, watching this display suspiciously."Everyone, please join me in prayer," Goode said. Several people from both packs tilted their heads back and closed their eyes. "Selene,

Cyrus"A heist?" Bonnie repeated."Yeah," Madoc replied enthusiastically. "Just like the movies! Sunrise Corporation has its hands in many pots. Some public and some underground. I need you to stop another organization from muling a competitor's product and then turn said product over to me.""What's the product?" Goldie asked."Heroine," Madoc replied simply.Bonnie scoffed. "Absolutely not.""Absolutely yes," Madoc replied. "Believe me, Ms. Black, you don't want to defy my superiors again.""Where is this cargo supposed to be?" Blayze asked, defeated."You're all aware of the Mega Mart ten miles from here on the highway?" Madoc asked. "What's now a multi-billion dollar company with twelve thousand stores nationwide started right there at the first-ever Mega Mart location. A Sunrise Corporation competitor and kingpin in the heroin trade uses Mega Mart Trucks to ship the product there. Sunrise Corporation wants you to intercept the trucks and take the contents.""I'm sorry," H

Harlow "So what do you think?" Brat asked as I looked at my reflection in her body mirror. She was letting me borrow one of her dresses for my date with Cyrus. "I don't know," I said, squeamishly, "Has more flowers on it than I'm used to." "No problem!" She grabbed an armful of outfits from her closet and threw them down on the bed. "I'm not trying to be a pain in the a** about this." "No need to explain yourself. It's my job to make sure you look smoking hot." As I began sifting through her pile of clothes, we heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" Brat said. Liam entered and gave Brat a big kiss. It went on for so long it started to get weird. They eventually settled down. "You need something?" Brat asked. "I was heading out to pick up some groceries. Want anything?" "Nah. Unless you wanted to pick up something sweet, like ice cream," Brat added. "Will do." They gave each other another uncomfortably long kiss before Liam left. Brat turned to me with a big smi

CyrusHarlow and I didn't say much for the rest of the drive back to town. Windows rolled down, the cool desert breeze helped to relax me, but not enough to rid the frustration I was feeling about what Harlow wanted me to do.Turning her was all I thought about. I wanted it to be me just as much as she did, but I didn't know if I could bear it if something went wrong. The last time had nearly destroyed me.When we got back, Harlow pulled her car up to her trailer and ran inside to throw on a change of clothes. Or, as she put it, "I don't want to smell like movie popcorn and sex before I see Madoc."Madoc. Just hearing his name made my skin crawl.I'd finished taking the last drag off my cigarette by the time she came back out, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. We walked across the highway and around the back of the garage together."Did you want to do something after I'm done?" Harlow asked as we approached the entrance to the cellar."I need to head off," I replied."Oh," she sa
