Immediately he does as I say.

“Good boy.” I praise him, spinning to face a very confused looking Miki.

“How in the fuck? What have you done to my dog?”

I shrug, kind of pleased with myself.

“I guess he prefers me now.”

Mikhail looks past me, glaring at Hades. “Traitor.”

I hit his chest. “Be nice. He’s just protecting me.”

He snakes his arms around my waist and holds me tight.

“Fine. I can’t be mad at him for protecting what is most important to me.”

“Aww.” I reach up and stroke the rough skin of his jaw.

“You are both my big softies.” I grab his cheeks and pull him down to kiss me.

It feels good knowing that I’m not alone in this world, I have not one, but two fierce protectors. And I’d do anything for both of my boys too.

“We best get some sleep, the big ball tomorrow. I have to look refreshed.” I tap his chest and snatch his hand.

“Refreshed or freshly fucked?” Miki asks, following behind me.

“You tell me.”

His deep menacing chuckle makes my pussy pulse.

“You are very much still being punished, pretty girl. But, I suppose we can put that sassy mouth of yours to use.”

CHAPTER 39

MIKHAIL

I usemy shoulder to push open Vox’s door and step into complete chaos. I might have to blow this place up for the trouble it keeps causing me.

A simple collection for protection, yet countless times has ended in bar fights.

The Reapers, since Brody and his father’s death, have been a tiny operation, they never rebuilt. They aren’t a threat.

But fuck me, the ones that remain like to make a scene. And it’s about time I taught them a lesson.

I watch from the sidelines as Jax beats a man’s head on the bar and Alexei strangles another with his thighs on the ground.

Blood flies from Niki’s mouth onto the floor as he approaches and claps me on the shoulder.

“Why this time?” I ask.

Nikolai shrugs, “I’m not entirely sure. I thought the Reaper shit was done with.”

I scratch my mask.

“Not unless they’re still in contact with Father.”

I scan the room. They look pretty useless. Not any help to Ivan.
