His face was turning purple before he nodded.
I let go of his throat, then turned on my boot, and headed into church.
Eyes followed me, and the only eyes I wanted on me were hers.
I turned my head and caught her gaze.
She looked behind me, then back at me, and started snickering.
I shook my head.
Once I entered the room, I closed the door.
Nuke lifted his chin, “Nice of you to join us.”
I shrugged.
Grey chuckled, “Bet you made that prospect piss himself.”
Kettle smirked.
Grimm just nodded.
The moment my ass was in my seat, Nuke banged the gavel to start church.
“What do we know?” he asked.
Merlin tapped a few keys, and then the footage from early showed up on the television we had mounted on the wall.
We all watched the video and saw it.
“Motherfucker,” Khal muttered.
Wolf grinned, “Been slow.”
And then we planned on our own version of payback.

I walked over to Nola and lowered my voice, “Need you to stay here tonight. Okay?”
She looked at me, then nodded her head, “Okay.”
I reached into my jeans pocket and pulled out the key to my room, then I offered it to her, “Use my room. I’ll sleep in the chair again.”
She shook her head, “No, Xander. You're wounded. I’ll take the chair.”
I growled, “Sugar, like fuck am I making you sleep in a fucking chair.”
It was her turn to growl, “Like fuck am I sleeping in your bed and making you sleep in a fucking chair.”
I opened my mouth, but she put her finger to my lips, hushing me.
I lifted a brow at her.
“Your bed is big enough for the two of us. Now it’s been a long day, you scared me half to death. So, we will both sleep in your bed. That’s how you can get out of the hole you dug yourself in.”
I sighed.
