As I looked down at him, I felt as though I was out of my body, hovering over him in some crazy way. Like I didn’t just do that, someone else did, and I had watched. That my hands were clean of what had just happened.
Logically I knew I did, but illogically, no.
My hand was covered in Daniel’s blood, the reality of what I’d just done hitting me hard. I’d really done it. I’d killed a man.
“What the hell!” I heard a couple of Daniel’s minions say, snapping me out of my thoughts and putting me to action. One threat was dealt with, but the others were not.
Quickly, I moved to Katie and stood behind Dryerson who was shielding her. Undoing her restraints, she fell to the ground, and I tried grabbing her to cushion the fall, but I didn’t get there in time. She hit her knees hard on the floor.
“Where’s Micah!” I screamed at Dryerson as the men in the room advanced on us. They were like a swarm of bees ready to attack. This was going to be bad. Really, really bad.
There was no way Dryerson had enough bullets in his gun to take all of these men down.
What the hell were we going to do now?
Picking up Katie under her arms didn’t go as planned. I wasn’t the superwoman I thought I was and had to drag her feet a bit on the ground because I couldn’t pick her all the way up. But I didn’t want Dryerson to take his eyes off the men coming our way, so I started dragging her away.
“Down!” I heard from behind me as loud pops rang out in the room. Micah stood there, gun in hand and smoke billowing from the barrel as I fell on top of a screaming Katie.
I wanted to feel relief, but the fear and my actions today completely took me over, and my body began to convulse.What have I done?

Micah
One by one,I started down the line plucking the assholes off, a bullet right through their frontal lobe. There was no need to prolong any of this shit. They needed to be dead. They needed to be annihilated. Each one of these assholes had touched what was mine. Fuck them. This was war.
In times of war, you protected those you cared about and took out those threats.
As the Ravage MC men filed in, more gunshots went off. They were covering me. Only then did I move to the floor where Ensley was huddled over her sister. She was completely naked and covered in blood.
All I did was pray it wasn’t her blood.
“Are you okay?” I asked, touching her back, and she flinched at my touch. What had these fuckers done to her?
Those fucking motherfuckers.
“Sorry,” she apologized, turning her head and looking up at me. Tears rolled down her face, eyes red and puffy along with dirt smudging her everywhere. “I’m okay. We need to get out of here.”
She was absolutely right on that one. Fuck, she was brave.
“Come on.” I nodded to Dryerson as the gunfire completely stilled. “Get Katie, and let’s go.” I turned to my father. “I’ll come back.”
While I wanted to stay and take every one of them down, Ensley needed to be safe, and the only way to do that now was to remove her from the situation. Scooping Ensley into my arms, I hauled ass back the way we'd come into this dreadful place.
The only way we found the basement was because of Ryker. Once he knew where the women were, he knew exactly the place they would take them.
Passing pictures on the walls that had the name ‘prophet’ written on them, I darted up the stairs and out of the building, not giving two shits about any of it. The light blinded me for a moment as Ensley burrowed into my neck, her body trembling.
Holding her tighter, I cooed softly, “I’ve got you, baby. You’re okay.” My words did nothing to reassure her body.
I only paused for a moment when I saw people coming toward us in the distance, walking in a straight line like some kind of defense team.
If I had to pluck every single one of them off, I fucking would not give that first fuck who any of them were. These people kidnapped my woman and her sister. Protecting them was my only objective.
“Hang on, Ens. You’re safe. I’ve got you,” I repeated, needing her to feel me and take some of my strength.
“Katie … is she okay?” Her words were stammered, the first words since coming out of that hellhole.
