My hand went to hers. “I’ll get him—eventually.”She squeezed my large fingers. “I know you will. Too bad I won’t be alive to see it.”This was the exact response I’d been expecting. “Baby, you know I can’t let you take his place.”“Why? Do you have a better idea?” she asked hopefully.“No. I don’t know where Lucian is, and I’m sure Case is in a second location.”“Why would he be in a second location?”I wanted to keep this from her, but I couldn’t. “Lucian said he’ll strap him with explosives and—”“Oh my god.” She covered her face with both palms.My hand went to her thigh. “Baby—”“I can’t let that happen to him.” She dropped her hands. “My brother doesn’t deserve this. My brother isn’t a part of this. I love him so much, and I refuse to let this happen. I would rather die a million times than let him suffer.”“I know, but—”“I’m taking his place.” She spoke with a steady voice but wet eyes. “You can’t make me stay here. You can’t make me stand aside and do nothing.”“And you expec

The men pulled his hands together in front of him and cuffed his wrists together.Balto didn’t fight.Lucian punched him again.Balto turned with the hit slightly then spat out blood. “If you really want to hurt me, have your men do it. You don’t know how to hit a man.”Lucian snapped his fingers and walked away.Two of his men stepped forward and started slamming their fists into his body, hitting him in the face and slugging him in the stomach.“No!” I covered my face and sobbed because I couldn’t watch it. “God…” I heard their fists assaulting his hard body, heard the subtle grunts he made as he took the beating. Then I heard his body crash to the ground as the men started to kick him.I sobbed harder than I ever had.“Come on.” Heath grabbed me by the arm and dragged me into the back seat.“Do something!” I smacked him in the chest. “He’s your brother! Do something!”“Balto honors his deals.” He shut the door and enabled the child safety locks.Case got into the truck beside me, h

Case glanced at Heath. “We’re going to need his help. I’m not going to be able to get you to that compound without him. There are men posted everywhere, I’m sure. We won’t be able to do it alone.”“Yeah…I guess you’re right.”Heath watched us with suspicious eyes. “What are you two talking about over there?”Case looked at me. “If he’s difficult, I’ll distract him while you run for it.”“Alright.” I moved closer to Heath. “I think I can disarm the bomb if you get me to it.”Heath crossed his arms over his chest. “Why do you think that?”“Because Lucian taught me.”His eyes narrowed. “Even if that’s the case, we have no idea where he is—”“I know exactly where he is. And I need you to take me there.”Heath continued to watch me, arguing with himself in silence. He had his orders from Balto, but if there were any chance he could save his brother, he would want to take it. “Balto wants me to keep you safe, not get you killed. It would make this whole thing pointless—”“That’s a chance I’

I killed the engine and looked at her. “I’ll come back for you.”She watched my men gather outside the vehicles and prepare to take the estate. Two tanks were in the front, and they would barrel through the gates and kill most of the men before we set foot on the property. She turned to me, concern in her eyes even though this was a slam dunk. “Be careful.”“I’m always careful.”She stared into my eyes, her green emeralds shifting back and forth slightly as she looked at me. She’d been fired up just minutes ago, but now she was concerned once more, just as she was when I left the house in the middle of the night. “I just got you back, and I’m afraid to let you go again.”Now wasn’t the time for this conversation. My men were waiting for me to lead the assault. It would be easy for me to stare into her beautiful eyes forever, but there would be time for that later. “I’ll come back. I promise.”“You can’t make a promise like that—”“Yes, I can.” My hand cupped her neck, and my fingers s

I eyed the high-backed throne that sat on a dais above the floor. Skulls were carved into the black wood, and it was undoubtedly where he sat every night and watched over his men with a drink in his hand. I would have been interested in the place before, but after what had happened, I just wanted to leave. There was a topless woman working the bar, and she served the men as they came in, along with Lucian’s former soldiers. She had pierced nipples and a pretty face, and I didn’t like the idea of Balto looking at her every night while he was here. “I think I’m ready to go. Case, do you need a ride?”“No. Dirk is picking me up. We’ll probably have a drink before we go. We like it here.”“I bet.” I glanced at the waitress then rolled my eyes.Case chuckled. “We enjoy the company, but the liquor is good too.”I rolled my eyes. “Whatever you say.”Balto took my hand and pulled me out of the Underground. His truck was parked at the curb outside instead of in the indoor garage. Now that Luci
