Guarded by the outlaw
“You were the only one who saw me before the club did. You knew what I was, and you took me in anyway. I owe you everything.”
He stared at me for a long time. “You left.”
“I know.”
“You didn’t say a word.”
“I couldn’t,” I said, my throat closing. “They threatened to kill everyone who stood by me. I thought disappearing was the only way to keep the club safe. To keep you safe.” The words hung there, raw and dangerous.
Ghost didn’t move, but something shifted in his eyes, that cold, unreadable mask cracking just enough for me to see the man underneath. The one who used to laugh too loud. The one who carried the weight of everyone else’s sins and called it loyalty.
