“Married?”

“No. She never married and has no more children.”

“And my daughter?”

Rubbing the back of his neck Reaper groaned. “Yeah. This is the part you’re gonna fucking hate. Sarah is alive and being taken care of by Joshua Stone.”

Growling, I sneered, “My fucking cousin? That fucknugget?”

“The one and only.”

“Explain something to me,” I asked a short time later as the plane took off. “How does Emma fit into all this mess?”

“She doesn’t really.” Reaper sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “She’s more like a pawn for the table to use to bring us to heel. They can use her connection to both clubs and force us to do what they want.”

“Well, that’s never going to fucking happen.”

“I agree.” Reaper nodded. “But when you add in both club’s pasts, the growing tension and hostility in the underworld, and the fact that both our fathers were members of theSociety, and well it doesn’t look good for us.”

“You think the table will order a kill order.”

“They would be stupid if they didn’t.”

“And Sypher?”

Reaper sighed. “He’s the wildcard. Kid knows everything about everyone. Has from the start. He’s kept quiet under my direct orders, watching it all play out, but when he hooked up with Dante and learned the truth about him—well, even Sypher has his limits.”

“You think he will really release everything?”

“No. Kid is smart, not fucking stupid. My gut’s telling me he’s going to dangle the information in front of the bitch and see if she will take the bait. If she does, then Sypher wins. I may not know what rolls around in that kid’s head, but I fucking know that family means everything to Danny. He will not willingly give up anything that will hurt his family.”

“I hope you’re right, because the way I see it, the second the table learns that he willingly handed himself over to that cunt, they are going to order his death. Nothing you or I do will stop that. Said it yourself. Kid knows everything. That fact alone makes him the most dangerous person on the fucking planet. His head gets in the wrong hands and it will create a war not even you and I can come up with. Which means there is only one option.”

Reaper nodded. “We find Sypher and muzzle him.”

Smiling, I looked at the asshole next to me and remarked, “Would you look at that. We’re finally getting along.”

“Still fucking hate you.”

Chapter Thirty-Six

Reaper

December 16, 2024, Soulless Sinners’ clubhouse.

“He couldn’t just disappear into thin fucking air!” Ace shouted as he paced the room full of men, who all sat saying nothing. The second Montana and I landed in the city, we started looking. After the first twenty-four hours, we knew we needed more help.

So we called everyone.

Even with all our contacts in the world, we had nothing.

It was as if the kid literally wentPOOFand fucking vanished.

No one knew where he was.

“Someone has to know something,” Illyria said, sitting next to her husband, Maxim Fedorov.

“What about his partner, Dante?” Maxim asked the room. “Have we located him?”
