“That depends,” Diesel says.“Do you still love Ellie?”

“Of course I do.You can’t just turn that shit off, Diesel.But?—”

“The way I look at it, if I ban Ellie from the club, I’m going to lose my Sergeant of arms and I’m not prepared to deal with that shit.”

“I…You…”

“You can tell me you wouldn’t follow her to Phoenix or wherever it is she’s packed to head out to, Fury, but we both know you’d be lying.You grieved for her for almost two years.I didn’t notice it as much because of my shit, but I sure as fuck saw the difference in you when she came back.You were already planning on going to her then.I’m just stepping up before that happens again.”

“You’re serious?”I ask, feeling like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders.Ellie and I still have a lot to work through, but at least now it doesn’t feel hopeless.

“I’m telling you the same thing I told Ellie when she came to my room to talk to me and Rory in person.Besides, my wife pointed out that I’d never made it mandatory that we don’t talk things over with our old ladies.Our club is more relaxed than others—a fact she knows thanks to talking to Torrent,” he says, giving Devil a pointed look.

“That’s my Angel,” he laughs.

“Shelovinglypointed out that I couldn’t get pissy now because ultimately it was my fault that I hadn’t talked to my men about the issue before.A woman who was struggling to become a mother shouldn’t have been expected to deal with all of the information she had.That’s on me.”

“And me,” I admit.I slipped up and told Ellie too much.That’s a big part of the problem.

“So, we work on those issues in the future—which hopefully won’t happen because we won’t have to face them,” Diesel says.“Now, it’s up to you, but Ellie was in bad shape earlier.Rory was worried enough about her, she talked her into staying in our room longer, and sent me to find you.Then, of course Torrent showed up with Cannon.That means you two need to go see to your women, so I can have mine back.”

“I’ll go find her.”

“Good call.I’m going to go hunt Crusher and Dani down to collect my offspring,” he says with a wink, walking off.

“Hey, Diesel?”

“Yeah, man?”

“Thanks.”

He nods, Devil thumps me on the back, and I take off to find Ellie.It’s not going to be easy, but I can’t let her leave.Diesel was right.If Ellie was banned from the club, I’d end up leaving.There’s no way I could go back to living without her.

I walk to Diesel’s room, and just as I’m about to open the door, Ellie opens it, crying.For a minute, I’m afraid that things have gone south again.

“Ellie, I’ve got my keys.Torrent will tell the boys—Oh, Fury!”Rory gasps, surprised to see me.

“What’s going on?”I ask, then my attention turns to Ellie.Her face is white, she has tears in her eyes and she’s holding the back of her head.

“It’s jut… st...just.Just a migraine,” Ellie says.

“It’s getting worse and she admitted her vision is blurry.I was going to drive her to the emergency room.”

“She has meds, she gets migraines often, although they’ve slowed down lately.I’m sure she’ll be…”

I stop talking as Ellie drops to the floor.I dive down to try and catch her, managing to get at least the upper half of her body in my arms.

“Ellie?Ice, wake up.”She’s out cold, looking abnormally pale.

“I’ll call an ambulance,” Torrent says, taking out her phone.

“Fuck that.I’m taking her,” I growl.Panic spreads through me.She’s never passed out before in her life.If the pain was so bad that she was stuttering earlier, something has to be seriously wrong.I can’t wait for an ambulance to take her to the hospital, I can get her there sooner.

I pick Ellie up in my arms, carrying her toward the front door—praying that she’s okay, and terrified that she’s not…
