We get in as Luka pulls Jax inside. “But I want to prove myself to my woman.”

I roll my eyes, glancing around the inside of the limo. The interior is a beautiful black, similar to the outside, with T.V.s lining all around it.

Jax huffs, gets up, and heads straight for the bar sitting at the back of it.

“I already know how big your dick is. It’s Axel who needs to prove himself.”

Five pairs of heated eyes swing towards me as Jax barks out a laugh, sending me a wink.

I blink up at them, giving them one of Jax’s innocent smiles. His laughter grows as I turn my focus to Axel. I see the challenge light up his eyes, making my smile turn anything but innocent.

“Oh, it’s on, Princess.”

I lick my bottom lip, watching as his eyes darken and lean back.

“Looking forward to it.”

CHAPTER 22

KIARRA

Arriving outside the club, we bypass the huge line of people leading around the wide building. As soon as they notice us, the chatter stops, and they all turn our way.

“Why are they all staring?”

The look in their eyes is filled with fear or awe, or a mixture of both.

“They know better than to disrespect their alphas,” Jax says, smirking down at me.

Making our way to the top of the line, the bouncer’s eyes widen when he sees us coming, moving the people at the door back so we can walk straight in.

The bouncer bows his head as we pass. “Alphas.”

Kai tilts his head once, not replying as we walk on through.

If I thought the eyes of the supes outside were bad, it’s even worse inside the club when everyone closest to us stops what they’re doing to look at us.

“I’ll go check everything out.” Rion shares a look with Luka before heading farther into the club without a word.

Luka gives me a smile before following him.

I give Kai a questioning look.

“They’re just making sure nothing is tampered with. No one would be foolish enough to try anything, but after everything you just went through, we don’t want to take any risks.”

“You know I can’t die.”

Kai moves closer to me, placing a hand to my face. “And as we’ve said before, that still doesn’t change the fact that you can be hurt, and anything that causes you pain shouldn’t be taken lightly.”

He leans in and kisses my head before taking my hand. “We’re going to protect you from everything we can—every pain, whether it’s physical or mental. We’ll never let anything hurt you again.”

“Kai…”

A short bulky man with buzz-cut blonde hair comes up to us, interrupting the moment. Dipping his head before he speaks, he glances at Kai and then Axel.

“May I have a word?”

Axel sighs. Leaning down, he places a kiss on the side of my head before sharing a look with Kai. “I’ve got it.” “What’s that about?” I ask the others.
