I reached forward and pulled her into my body, glaring at the men of my club over the top of her head.

“What in the fuck?”I asked.

Webber hid a grin as he said, “She wanted to talk to you, but we didn’t know you were here.We were trying to explain how to get to your place.”

I grimaced.“The rocking was making me sick.I had to come here.Parked my truck in the barn out back because it’s supposed to storm tonight.”

Was storming if the sound of rain on the tin roof above my head was any indication.

“Oh.”Webber frowned.“And then two fuckin’ assholes scared the shit out of her by grabbing her since she was ‘unclaimed’ and we were trying to calm her down.”

That pissed me off.“Who?”

“Already dealt with,” Webber said.“What’s wrong with you?”

“Fever, chills, body aches and nausea.”I listed off my symptoms the way any doctor would.“The flu.”

A hand sneaked up the length of my chest and pressed against my forehead.

If I had any energy, I would’ve grinned.

“Have you had anything to drink today?”she asked, ignoring the group and those around us to focus solely on me.

I liked it.

A lot.

“Not much,” I confessed.

“Come on, let’s get you some water, a little bit of food, and some medicine,” she commanded.

“It’s in the kitchen, and I seriously don’t think that I could walk that far even if I wanted to,” I admitted.

“I’ll go.”She shooed me away.“I’ll find you in a second.Head back to bed.”

I liked the take charge nature of her, and I especially enjoyed watching her walk away.

I stayed where I was, swaying lightly on my feet, until she disappeared behind the kitchen counter.

“Better get back to bed before she punishes you,” Webber teased.

I flipped him off and was about to head to bed when another commotion at the door had everyone turning to see what was going on, but I knew that flash of gold hair.

Reign.

With very little energy to deal with her tonight, I left her to my brother, who was in the room somewhere, just not in our immediate vicinity.

I headed back to my bedroom and lay down, being sure to leave the door wide open so Aella could find me.

I wasn’t sure what it was that let me know that someone was in my room, but when I peeked open one eye, it was to find Reign there, and not Aella.

“Go away,” I muttered.

“I…I’m looking for Copper,” she said quietly.“I want to explain.Do you know where he is?”

If he wasn’t in the main room, my guess would be that he was in his room.

Likely not alone.
