That was the truth.

Lucian was done.

“That’s the whole family, Jules. Everyone is accounted for with work, and the ladies on this trip are safe. It’ll be a quiet weekend.”

The radio spun.

Julian wasn’t having it. He pointed at the radio and warned the dead man.

“Don’t!”

Wisely, Trey didn’t.

Never let it be said that he couldn’t keep his comments to himself.

“Well, then, I just have to figure out this sister situation. Thank you for your help this week,” he said. “I think I’m going to go home and try to work this out in my head.”

They didn’t mind.

“Don’t worry, Jules. You got this,” Ridge admitted. “We know it’ll work out. Again, have faith.”

He wished he could.

God.

He really wanted to sneak away to see his wife because she calmed him.

Truth be told, Julian Littlemoon feared little. Other than his family’s safety, there was only one other thing.

The destruction of his family.

And it seemed to be coming their way.

Chapter Four

Claire And Beckett’s

Home

Same Time

T heir normally calm home was anything but. Beckett’s wife was worked up, and he knew that it was likely going to end in bloodshed. That was how rage-filled and angry she was.

In all of the time that he’d been married or dating Claire, he’d never seen her this pissed off with anyone, and that scared him.

Why?

She was the one who kept his demons at bay as an anchor, and coming in contact with her, in this state…

It wouldn’t end well if he went under.

There was no way she would be able to pull him back out. This was all kinds of chaotic, and Beckett didn’t like it.

Normally, his wife was calm.

Only, that wasn’t the case now.

The second that she heard Lianna was back, there was a switch flipped in her.
