I watch them, my chest tightening with foreign emotions.
I look away, turning around to grab the bastard by the collar. I haul him up like a rag doll and toss him at Deadeye, who’s just arrived. I can hear the familiar engines of the rest of the Kings outside. “Make sure he remembers Jackson Ridge doesn’t take kindly to monsters. And pass along the same message to the Sons of Decimation when they get here.”
Deadeye nods grimly. “Gladly.”
I don’t stay to join the fun. Not this time. My brothers have my back.
Instead, I go to Piper.
She’s still trembling when I kneel beside her.
“Can you walk, baby?”
She nods. “If you help me.”
I scoop her into my arms without hesitation. Her arms wrap around my neck like a lifeline, her head buried in my chest.
I meet Grizz’s eyes, and he nods, giving me a look that says it all—Take care of her. I’m sorry. I’ll stay to fight.I nod back.
I carry Piper outside and swing her gently onto my bike. She doesn’t say a word as I ride us out of there, leaving the warehouse and every nightmare behind.
We don’t stop until we reach the overlook above town, a place only I know. It’s quiet. Secluded. Safe.
I kill the engine. The only sound is her breathing, still shaky in my ear.
I turn to face her. “Piper.”
She looks up, and I just say it.
“I love you.”
Her breath hitches.
“I didn’t think I deserved to have something as good as this,” I admit. “Tried to tell myself that after all the things I’ve done, I don’t get to have something as pure as you in my life. But thenyou got under my skin. Into my veins. I’ve never felt like this. Not for anyone.”
She blinks, tears brimming in her gorgeous blue eyes.
“I love you too,” she whispers. “I think I fell even before you stepped out of the shadows.”
I smile. Actually smile.
“Stay,” I say. “With me. In Jackson Ridge. Let me keep you safe.”
She leans forward, her forehead resting against mine. “There’s nowhere else in the world I’d rather be.”
And just like that…she’s mine.
Not just in body, but in every damn way that matters.

Piper
Three Years Later
The crowd is screaming my name. Again.
“PIPER! PIPER! PIPER!”
