“Better hurry.” Rebecca laughed. She pointed to Moe’s disappearing figure.
“Shit!” Abby swore and ran behind them.
Chapter Thirteen
“Did you ever find out who was in the woods?” Abby asked Rebecca the next day.
Abby was seated between her mates. Rhys looked tired but considering the life-threatening wounds from the previous day he almost looked normal. Moe had shocked her and Rhys the next morning when he had woken up with a head full of beautiful dark curls. He had kept his head shaved because he had been teased as a child. They had convinced him to keep them for the time being.
“No, which concerns me,” Gabriel said.
“What did the council say?” Abby asked. She was scared that Moe would be in trouble for killing Salsiby.
“Not much. They have his cell phone and will soon learn who he was he was communicating with. We all knew that Salsiby was a little crooked, but for him to try and shoot Aidhan.” Liam shook his head.
“He didn’t. He was shooting at Rhys,” Rebecca interrupted.
Liam looked at Aleks. Aleks moved closer and held Rebecca tight. “If Rhys hadn’t turned Becca, both shots would have hit Aidhan,” Aleks said softly.
Trembling, Rebecca held Aidhan close until he squeaked. She released him, but only a little bit.
“Someone else is pulling these strings and has been for a long time. I called Baptista, he should be here soon with an update from Mikhail.” Gabriel growled.
“Look at you.” Abby bumped shoulders with Peyton who blushed.
“I figured I was attacked twice at the bar. Maybe getting out more wouldn’t be so bad,” he said quietly, and everyone laughed.
“Stop staring.” Moe growled at Rian, Damian and Giddey.
“Can you blame us? You went from super, mega, bad-boy hot, to Chernobyl hot! I mean hair like that begs to be used as a handle!” Giddey exclaimed.
Moe turned scarlet and Abby and Rhys nudged each other.
“Oh my.” Ma smiled and turned to Peyton. “Good to see you here, you’re welcome anytime.” Ma put a huge bowl of soup in front of him.
“Thank you, ma’am,” he said, ducking his head.
“So adorable!” Kate grinned.
“We have dibs!” Duncan and Emmett said.
Everyone looked at them, and Aleks raised an eyebrow.
Rian gasped. “Both of you switched teams!”
“What?” they asked, looking confused.
“Dibs for what?” Rebecca asked gently.
“For him being our little brother,” Emmett explained.
Rian collapsed back against his chair. “Y’all can’t do that to me, my heart can’t take it,” Rian exclaimed.
Abby laughed.
“By the way Rhys, the council has removed your probationary status. You are a redeemed man, my friend.” Liam grinned.
“Feels good.” Rhys’s smile lit up the diner.
