CHAPTER 71

Jax’s POVThe company name still clawed at my brain, a persistent itch I couldn’t scratch. It wasn't just unfamiliar in the usual sense, like a new business, but familiar in a way that stirred old, unpleasant memories. “Vanguard Logistics ,” I mumbled, watching Silas type it into the computer. “Are you sure it’s nothing?”Silas grunted, his fingers flying over the keys. “I told you, Jax. No major online presence, barely any public records. It popped up out of nowhere a couple of years ago.” He glanced at Rook and Dare, who were leaning over his shoulders, equally invested. “It’s like it was built to be invisible.”“That’s what’s bothering me,” I said, pacing the small, dusty room that housed our pack archives. The air smelled of old paper and dust motes danced in the slivers of sunlight piercing the blinds. “’Out of nowhere’ doesn’t happen with a company this size, not without a damn good reason.”Rook straightened, a frown creasing his usually jovial face. “So, you’re thinking wh

CHAPTER 72

Dare's Pov“Are you sure this is a good idea?” I asked, looking at Jax across the table. Silas was already setting out a folder, its contents a stark contrast to the fancy Italian spread before us.Jax met my gaze, his jaw tight. “We can’t wait. Not with what we found.”Rook just grunted, pushing a plate of pasta closer to the empty seat. “She needs to know. She’s too damn trusting.”I watched the door, my stomach twisting with anticipation. This whole dinner felt like a trap, and Maddie was walking right into it. She’d been so happy lately, despite the small whispers of trouble at work she’d finally admitted to us.The bell chimed and I stood, trying to look casual as I opened the door. Maddie smiled up at me, her eyes sparkling. “Hey! Sorry I’m late, traffic was a nightmare.” She leaned in for a quick kiss, her scent of wildflowers and subtle spice filling my senses.“No worries,” I said, forcing a smile. “Come on in, dinner’s ready.”She walked in, her gaze sweeping over the table.

CHAPTER 73

Maddie's Pov The bass thumped through the floor, rattling the champagne glasses on a passing tray. I pushed through the throng of people, a little overwhelmed by the sheer volume of bodies crammed into the opulent hall. Kiara had texted me the address, and the party was definitely in full swing. Laughter and loud music bounced off the high ceilings, and the air hummed with energy. I spotted Kiara near a makeshift bar, waving frantically. A small smile touched my lips. Maybe this was exactly what I needed after the argument with the brothers.I was almost there, weaving around a couple who were dancing a little too close, when it happened. A blur of movement, a clumsy stumble, and then a cold, wet splash. My white dress, the new one I’d bought just for this, was instantly stained a deep, ugly red. Wine. Red wine.“Oh, my god!” I gasped, staring down at the blossoming crimson splotch.Kiara was by my side in an instant. “Maddie! Are you okay?” Her voice was laced with concern. “What ha

chapter 74

Maddie's Pov Jax stormed straight towards us, his eyes blazing, a low growl rumbling in his chest. I felt his hand close around my arm, his fingers digging in just above my elbow, trying to pull me away. “Let go of her,” he snarled, his voice tight with barely suppressed fury.But the boss, Rave, held onto my other arm just as tightly. His grip was firm, unwavering, not hurting me but making it impossible to move. He didn’t even look at Jax, his gaze still fixed on me, a strange possessiveness in his dark eyes. “She’s with me,” he stated, his voice calm, almost lazily dangerous.I was caught between them, my arms stretched out, feeling like a tug-of-war rope. My face burned. Everyone was watching. Every single person at that party had stopped dancing, stopped talking, and was staring directly at us, at me. I could feel their eyes, a hundred pairs of them, dissecting my humiliation. My stomach clenched. It was like they were fighting over a prize, not a person, and it made my skin cra

chapter 75

Maddie's Pov My palm stung, the heat of the impact radiating up my arm. Jax’s head was turned to the side, his jaw tight. The silence that followed was suffocating.“Don’t you ever,” I whispered, my voice thick with tears I refused to let fall. “Don’t you ever suggest I wanted this. I wanted a job, Jax. I wanted a life that wasn’t dictated by your paranoia and your brothers’ shadows.”“Maddie, wait,” Kiara stepped forward, his expression pained. “Jax didn't mean it like that, he’s just—”“He meant exactly what he said,” I interrupted, stepping back and letting the boss's coat slide off my shoulders. It hit the floor in a heap. I looked at Rave, whose eyes were dancing with a dark, triumphant light. “And you. Stay away from me. I don’t know what game you’re playing, but I’m done.”“Madeleine, be reasonable,” Rave started, reaching for me.“Don’t touch me!” I screamed. I turned to Jax, my heart breaking. “You think I’m doing this for attention? You think I enjoy being bullied by my co

chapter 76

Maddie's Pov The gravel crunched under my boots, the sound echoing through the heavy silence of the driveway. My fingers were cramped from gripping the handle of my suitcase so hard my knuckles had turned white. I didn't get five steps toward my car before the front door hissed open again."Maddie, stop! Just—wait!" Silas’s voice was a whip-crack in the night air.I didn't turn around. I kept walking, shoving my bag into the trunk of my car with a frantic, uncoordinated strength."You can't just drive off," Rook shouted, his heavy footsteps thudding on the porch. "It’s two in the morning. You’re upset, you’re not thinking straight. Let Dare drive you at least."I spun around, my back slamming against the trunk. The four of them were lined up on the porch like a firing squad—Silas, Rook, Dare, and Jax bringing up the rear, his face shadowed and haunted."I am thinking clearer than I have in months," I snapped, my voice trembling with a mix of fury and exhaustion. "And don't you dare t

chapter 77

Maddie's Pov The phone on Kiara’s coffee table vibrated for the hundredth time since Tuesday. The screen lit up with Silas’s name, the glowing rectangle mocking me in the darkened living room."Still?" Kiara asked, walking in from the kitchen with two glasses of wine. She didn't wait for an answer. She picked up my phone and tossed it onto the armchair across the room. "Maddie, it’s been four days. You’re turning into a ghost. Look at you.""I feel like a ghost," I whispered, pulling the fleece blanket tighter around my shoulders. My eyes were still puffy, and my chest felt like someone had scooped out the middle with a jagged spoon. "Every time I close my eyes, I see Jax’s face when I walked out. Or Dare’s hands shaking. They’re probably tearing the city apart looking for me.""Let them tear it up. Maybe they’ll find some common sense while they’re at it," Kiara snapped, sliding into the seat next to me. She handed me a glass. "You can’t stay in this apartment forever, Mads. You hav

CHAPTER 78

Maddie's PovThe bass from the club floor was a dull, rhythmic throb beneath my feet as the Boss led me toward the secluded lounge. My heart was still hammering against my ribs, a frantic bird trapped in a cage. I looked up at him, his profile sharp and unforgiving in the dim light of the hallway."Thank you," I said, my voice barely a whisper. I cleared my throat and tried again, louder this time. "Really. Thank you for helping me back there. I don't know what they would have done if you hadn't stepped in."He didn't look at me immediately, his hand still firm on mine. "They would have been a nuisance. Men like that don't know the value of what they try to touch." He stopped at a set of heavy, velvet-draped doors. Two large men stood guard, nodding instantly as he approached. "I don't like nuisances in my club, Maddie.""I just... I didn't expect anyone to notice," I admitted, rubbing my arm where the other man's grip had been. He turned to me then, his dark eyes searching my face.

CHAPTER 79

Maddie's Pov Jax didn't just walk into the room; he invaded it. The heavy air of the VIP section seemed to suck toward him, fueled by the raw, jagged energy he brought from the club floor. I tried to stand, my mouth opening to explain, to tell him why I was sitting here with a man he considered an enemy, but the words died in my throat."Jax, wait—" I started, my voice thin.He didn't even look at me at first. His eyes were pinned on Rave, who remained casually leaned back against the leather sofa, a glass of amber liquid held loosely in his hand. The contrast was sickening—Jax, vibrating with a violent, feral need to protect or destroy, and Rave, the picture of cool, calculated authority."So this is where you go?" Jax’s voice was a low, dangerous growl that vibrated in my chest. "This is who you run to when things get hard?""It's not what it looks like," I said, finally finding my feet. "I was just—"He didn't let me finish. Jax marched across the plush carpet in three long, preda

CHAPTER 80

Jax's Pov The sound was like a gunshot in the cramped, wreckage-strewn VIP lounge. My head snapped to the side, the force of the blow jarring my teeth. The sting burned across my cheek, hot and immediate, but the sudden, suffocating silence that followed was worse. Every pair of eyes in the club was on us. The music seemed to fade into a dull hum, replaced by the sound of Maddie’s ragged breathing.I turned my face back to her, my hand hovering near my jaw. "Maddie—""Don't," she whispered. Her voice broke, and I saw the first tear spill over, tracing a path through the makeup on her pale face. "Don't you dare say another word, Jax.""I was protecting you," I growled, though the conviction was leaking out of me. I looked at Rave, who was wiping blood from his lip, then back to her. "You were with him. You know what he wants.""I spent weeks," she said, her voice gaining a trembling, furious strength. "Weeks, Jax. Trying to show you. Trying to earn your trust. I stayed when I should
