Novel & Cerita Jack Reacher 4

I clapped like a little girl, Clyde let out a throaty chuckle before tightening his hold on me. When we stepped onto the ice, it felt like I had entered a different world. The rink was beautifully lit, with the city's skyline glittering in the background. Clyde lowered his face to my ears, "No matter what you do Nyx, never let go of my hands" he whispered but I could feel the pure warning in his tone. I took a deep breath, ready for another crazy ride with the Rebels.

She searched his face for exaggeration, but Tank’s eyes were steady, his tone simple. “That’s Tank for you,” Hawk muttered, shaking his head. “Looks like a grizzly, heart like a damn teddy bear.” The laughter that followed was rough, genuine. ________________ Hawk tipped his head back, blowing smoke into the night. “Fine. My turn. Out on the I-40 run couple years ago, Jackals thought they could tail us. I cut back on ‘em, made ‘em eat gravel. You should’ve seen the look on that bastard’s face when his bike slid out.”

Reaching the third floor they stood behind the door that led from the stairwell into the corridor, tensed and ready to run as Camron mind-linked Delta Crozier. “Get ready, we’re coming in.” “I’m ready.” came the faint answer. “Go.” commanded Camron, worried about how weak Delta Crozier sounded as the four giant men sped along the corridor.

He could walk into a trap and I wouldn’t even know until someone came to tell me he was gone. A tear slipped down my cheek. I wiped it away angrily. “Stop it,” I whispered to myself. “He’s the Don. He’s survived worse. He’s coming back.” But my fear wouldn’t ease and I started pacing faster. ‘Four years I waited. Four years of lonely nights and pretending I was okay. And now, the second we finally meet again, the universe decides to throw his psychotic father back into the mix? It’s not fair. It’s not fucking fair—’

No half truths. When I wake up on Saturday morning, it takes me a few seconds to remember that I’m not at my home in Jacksonville. I’m at Shifter Academy—with my mates. All four of which are currently in my bed. They were all in here with me when I fell asleep, but I assumed they would leave after I went to sleep. Though, I should’ve known better. After what happened, I doubt I’ll be left alone much anymore. All the guys are still sleeping and I try to climb out of bed quietly, not wanting to disturb them. But as I go to climb over Phoenix, he grabs onto my arm and opens one eye to look at me.
