Chapter Twenty-nine

“Ah.” Viper flicked his tongue, and suddenly his name made a lot more sense: the tattoo was obvious, but the man also had a swaying, serpentine quality to him. “Like Crusher, I started thinking about punishing you assholes for leaving the life almost six years ago, but then, lots of people did. Lots of people still do. In terms of finding the right pressure point, not as long as you’d think. It came to me only about five months ago, and when I actually zeroed in on it, I could have fucking kicked myself, seeing as it had been staring me in the face for years… ever since that bitch took over your tattoo place.”“Zoe?” Wolf was perplexed. He was also wondering just how the fuck he’d missed the fact that Viper Grant was a legitimate threat, all on his own. He supposed that when standing next to Crusher Alcott, anybody would look tame. Viper had certainty presented as a non-entity; dim to the point of stupidity, even. That was clearly a huge fucking mistake. “What does Zoe –”“I’m a very

Denver, ColoradoThe next day Vixen slung her purse over her shoulder and hurried out of the staff room, bang on the nose at four o’clock. Annoyingly, Ice had been in the clubhouse and bar for most of the afternoon for some reason, and although she had mostly ignored him, she’d felt those wintry eyes trained on her. He’d tried to talk to her, but she’d given him a quick smile, then kept moving. She sensed that he’d be watching for her to leave now that her shift was over… and she was just as determined to make it out of Satan’s without having to talk to him any more. She was finding it harder than she’d predicted to have him around, so she was just in self-protection mode right now.Her mind flitted back to his apology the day before – a totally surprising thing, if she were being honest with herself – and she felt herself weakening. Just a bit.Maybe… maybe just talk to him?She slammed the door on those traitorous thoughts, stomped hard on her stupid little heart that was betraying

“I bet you do,” Vixen said, glancing to their left to make sure that no vehicles were coming up between the parked cars. They were about sixty feet away from Blue Dragon by now, and through the front window, she could see Saint standing at the front desk talking on the phone. “He’s a good man. You’re very lucky.”Keira was just starting to hum and skip again when it happened.With a squeal of tires, the black van shot out of nowhere behind them, going shockingly quickly considering that it was in a crowded lot. Vixen stopped dead in her tracks, automatically gripping Keira’s hand harder, and turned around to look at the vehicle. For a few precious and blissfully unaware seconds, Vixen was just puzzled by what she saw – it didn’t make any sense that the van was going as fast as it was, nor that it was coming straight at them.That was when reality jumped up and screamed in her face.Holy Lord. It’s coming straight at us.Vixen darted to the left and started to run in the direction of t

Bellefonte, PennsylvaniaBriley sat straight up in bed, wide awake. She was bolt upright, her nerves jangling, listening hard for whatever had woken her. But all was quiet.She glanced at the clock on the bedside table, saw that it was just before five in the evening, which meant that Dux and Drake would be home from work any minute. She lay down again, hoping that sleep would return, but it had fled. Despite having crashed into bed just two hours earlier, she was as wired as if she had drunk too much caffeine, so she knew that she was up for the foreseeable future. Briley sighed, and got to her feet. She’d check on the babies and then head down to the kitchen to make a mug of green tea, maybe have dinner with Dux and Drake. She’d feed Hannah and Joe, and crawl back into bed… this time with her desperately sexy men curled up next to her, all around her.She pulled on her favorite ratty bathrobe, then wandered down the hall in a daze of tiredness. As a first-time Mom she had zero meas

Chapter Thirty-three

Later, much later, when she was able to think clearly again, she’d wonder if that feeling was maternal intuition. If she’d somehow known that something was very, very wrong, even when there was no real reason for her to think that. But in this moment, she felt what she assumed was the vague uneasiness of a new mother, and she entered the living room in a rush. Then stopped dead, her heart dead in her chest.Dux and Drake were standing next to the door, stripping off their heavy coats and talking about what to make for dinner, wondering if they had enough ice cream for dessert. They were carefree and gorgeous, talking about nothing of real consequence, as if everything was totally and completely fine and normal.Except that nothing was totally and completely fine or normal; she didn’t understand what the fuck was happening here, but she knew that her world was seconds away from collapsing. Briley leaned against the wall for support, suddenly unable to take a proper breath. Despite her

Chapter Thirty-four

Ice sat in a gray hospital room, holding Vixen’s hand. He’d been sitting there for almost six hours now, and he was fully prepared to stay for twenty-six more, if that’s what it took. He was going to be there when she woke up from sedation. He reflected that she might not be happy to see him, to be fair… but he’d decided that he was going to be a selfish bastard and sit there anyway.Because I want to see her. Need to.He’d blatantly lied to the doctors, told them that Vix was his fiancée, and the boys had backed him up stoutly, without so much as exchanging a glance between them. They knew that he’d wanted to be with her, and nobody had time to argue uselessly about hospital policy and visitors. It was a new source of shock and shame to Ice that he’d been having sex with this woman for almost a-year-and-a-half, and he had no idea if Vix had any family to speak of… he didn’t have the first clue who to call to be with her in this dark, awful time.So. For better or worse, Ice was it, f

Chapter Thirty-five

Her cheekbone was broken and badly cut up. Her right ankle was twisted. She had deep cuts on her head from the car windows shattering all over her. Worst of all – but also most incredibly – her neck was broken, but it had been broken the right way.Ice had had no idea that there was any such thing: he thought that a broken neck always meant paralysis, and that was the best case scenario after painful surgery. But somehow, by some fucking miracle that Ice would never stop being grateful for, Vix had sustained what the doctor called ‘a minor neck fracture’. Looking at her, Ice found it hard to think there was anything ‘minor’ going on at all… it all looked pretty goddamn major to him.“Mr. Johansson.” The doctor entered the room now, her ponytail swinging, and Ice got to his feet. “We’ve looked at Ms. Shaw’s final scans and neck x-rays. The news is very, very good.”Ice took a deep breath felt his chest loosen a bit. “OK.”“As I thought, and I’m happy to confirm, the break is confined t

Chapter Thirty-six

Wolf heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and rolled off the bed immediately. He had no idea what time it was – the lack of window made that impossible to tell – but if he had to guess, he’d say that he’d been in this fucking cell for at least two days. Probably closer to three. Once again, he reminded himself that Scars was holding hard to the decoy plan, and that this was just about enough time passing for Scars to pull the trigger, and talk to King about his worries and suspicions. Ice too, because Wolf knew that the man was back on board.There were voices outside, and he strained to hear the words. Nothing was clear enough to make any sense, so he stared grimly at the door, waited to see if it was going to open, or if another tray of revolting crap was going to be shoved through for him to eat.The door lock turned and Wolf tensed. Part of him just wanted to rush whatever asshole was standing there, take his chances that he could overpower whoever it was, weapon or no. The

“Nope,” Viper said merrily, pulling the blanket away so that Wolf could see the box’s full contents. “I brought you two!”“Jesus Christ.” Wolf stared at the tiny children lying there in a fucking box on a fucking cement floor in a fucking cell. “Who – where –”“C’mon, man. Who do you know who’s had two babies recently?” Wolf looked up to meet Viper’s black eyes as understanding hit him like a lightning bolt. “Dux and Drake and Briley…” he breathed. “About two weeks ago…”Viper was nodding with encouragement. “Uh-huh.”“So this – so these –”“Yep.”“Why –”“Because kids are the best fucking leverage there is, so they have serious value for me,” Viper said briskly. “The thing is, though, that they’re needy and annoying and noisy, and I can’t deal with any of their shit – literally.”“So you want me to take care of them,” Wolf said slowly. “That’s why I’m still alive. I’m the fuckin’ babysitter.”“Exactly!” Viper beamed. “You’re not doing anything, really, just sitting around here wait

Chapter Thirty-eight

Voices. Faint, distant, blurry. But definitely voices. They seemed familiar, and Vixen strained to hear what was being said.“…still not fully out of sedation yet?”“No. Not yet.”Ice! Vixen fought to open her eyes, struggled to sit up, or even just to move, but she couldn’t do any of it. Her whole body felt like it was encased in concrete: heavy, immobile, rock-solid. She tried to speak, or even to make a sound – God, just a tiny sound, come on now – but her throat wasn’t working, either. So she lay there, cradled in the hands of the darkness, listening.“What did Drake say about the kids?”“The cops are all over it, but so far, nothing. Briley and the boys are losing their minds.”The kids? The babies? What happened to them?“Hey, did Vixen just move her legs?” A voice that she now knew to be Viking’s, as faint as if he were standing miles and miles away.“She does that sometimes,” Ice said, sounding like he was at the bottom of a well. “It looks like she’s running.”Running.Sudden
