All Chapters of Bound by Blood II: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

My eyes snapped open the moment my phone buzzed on the nightstand. The silent alarm in the kitchen had been triggered. I grabbed the gun from the holster fastened beneath the bed and moved quietly through the darkness. I stood in a small alcove in the long hallway that held two guest rooms, and also Honor and Arya’s rooms at the end of the hall. Wilder had taken up residence on the third floor that had previously been an attic. My room, the main suite, was off the hallway, the entrance almost hidden by a separate entrance.I could hear them whispering on the landing of the second floor and waited. I saw Wilder at the foot of the stairs, moving along the shadows until he stood behind me, his hand on my shoulder. Two men crept up the stairs to where we stood and we waited until they walked past us.The thick carpet muffled their footsteps and we moved in behind them. Wilder and I lifted our pistols at the same time and pressed them against the back of their heads.“What the fuck are you

I got back to the house at 2:30 on Friday afternoon, having concluded my meetings for the day. There was an old hotel set to be demolished that I wanted to buy and restore. The red-tape concerning the sale would take time, new rezoning matters had arisen, and it was frustrating as hell.“Greek Row’s having a street party tonight. All the sororities and fraternities are opening their doors,” Honor said, as I entered the living room and sat down on the recliner.I gave her a look. “And you want to go?”Arya sighed. “We were cornered after class today. They think if we go then Wilder will go and by definition, so will you. One or two might have specifically asked if Wilder was going to be there.”“Really? How many girls are we talking about here?” Arya gave me a look and I narrowed my gaze at her. “What?”“Nothing,” she said, and turned her attention back to her phone.The front door opened and Wilder was laughing loudly as he spoke on his phone. “Nah, SV’s the one that always keeps his

Honor pulled her clothes back on when Grim walked into the bathroom. She slipped out of the room and hurried down the hall. She wasn’t sure why she was running, but her feelings were too intense. A big, bearded man watched her intently. He was good looking, but she could tell that he was probably nearing forty. His aura was dangerous, she knew from experience, and having been around dangerous men all her life.“This is no place for a Vittori Princess,” he said.Her head snapped up, her eyes widening. How the hell did he know who she was? “I was just leaving.”“I think that’s a very good idea. You should go before Grim does something that’s going to get him killed,” he said.“Who are you? How do you know who I am?”“I’m Wrath… a friend of your father’s,” he said. The name registered. He’d also saved Saint’s life and she knew he was Saint’s contact here if he needed back-up. She nodded her head.“I know who you are,” she said.“Drive home safe, Honor, no detours,” he said and cocked his

I stood in the shadows, watching the two men. They exchanged packages and glanced around. The gun was snug in its holster beneath my arm and I gritted my teeth. When they shook hands, I stepped out of the shadows. Their hands went to their guns and I chuckled.“There’s no need for violence, gentlemen,” I said.“Who the fuck are you?”“Saint Vittori, Detective Harrison, and now that you’ve been caught with your hands down Joseph Miller’s pants, I have a deal you won’t want to say no to.”Joseph Miller shook his head. “What the fuck is this?”“You think you’re a bad man, Joseph, but I promise you, I’m so much worse,” I said.Detective Harrison looked warily at me. He knew who I was. “What do you want?”“I want Joseph Miller to stop selling drugs on campus and I want you to stop taking his money for turning a blind eye. From now on, you’re on my payroll and there will be no drugs on this campus. Joseph, you’re welcome to relay that message back to your boss. I’ll be seeing him soon enoug

I stood in Honor’s room when the box in her trash can caught my attention. My blood ran cold and when I picked it up, and pulled the test out, my blood boiled. The words on the digital screen had faded a little, but I could still see that it showed ‘Pregnant 4 weeks’. The test fell back into the trash can and I staggered back to her bed and sat down. Fuck. This was bad.I hadn’t meant to snoop. I’d been looking for my hoodie, the one Honor always took and slept in. She’d been in Reading 4 weeks ago, the night she and Arya had gone on their wild night out. Turns out it was wilder than I thought it had been.I spied her diary, paged to the right date and read her entry. She’d had sex with a biker named Grim. Fuck my life. A fucking biker. How the hell was that one going to work? Honor came from money and class. She was a lady, not some biker chick.I clenched my fists as I made my way downstairs and headed out to my car. Everyone else was still on campus. I was done with meetings for th
