Page 86 of Defying the Relic Hunter

I threw my hands up in disgust. Testosterone was the bane of the universe. “And?”

Dixon’s face hardened. “You’re still a member of my club.”

“I never asked to be a member.”

“You saved Ella’s life.”

“A simple thank you would have been sufficient,” I replied.

Dixon grumbled an obscenity. “Please come to Ella’s party. It means a lot to her.”

“Pleese,” Ella begged.

“Ok, fine, we’ll come for a bit, but don’t be surprised if some angry Coletti warriors show up.”

A lazy smile played at Dixon’s mouth. “We can handle them.”

“I said, don’t touch me,” Xenia yelled.

Glass shattered.

I ran into the dining room. Through the broken front window, I watched a biker built like a tank pick himself off the sidewalk. Three scowling men were closing in on Xenia. “Y’all got a death wish? Back off. She’s a Berserker and her mate’s even worse.”

“Enough! The Elf’s a friend of the club,” Dixon barked.

“Sorry boss,” the older biker said.

I pointed at the window. “And you’re paying for that mister.”

“Baxter will,” Dixon agreed.

Xenia held out her hand. “It’s time for us to leave.”

“I sorta promised we would attend Ella’s birthday party.”

“Have you lost your mind?” Xenia squawked.

“Probably.”

“Pleese Xenia,” Ella begged with big, sad eyes.

“I would be honored to attend your birthday party,” Xenia said.“Our males are not going to be happy.”

I grinned at her.“I know.”

“Kizzy can ride with me and the Elf with Baxter,” Dixon announced.

I held up my hand. “Not a good idea. We can transport ourselves, just tell me which park the party is being held at.”

“Encanto Park,” Dixon said.

“We’ll meet you there.”

“Don’t disappoint the kid.”

I smiled, showing a lot of teeth. “Wouldn’t think of it and tell Baxter to get his ass in here and pay for that window.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Dixon walked out and said something to Baxter.
