Got it. His need to control every element.
But sometimes life fucking happened.
I guess that was exactly what he was afraid of.
Me
Good.
River
See you all tonight.
A quick succession of texts buzzed through, everyone agreeing and saying their goodbyes.
With that settled, I turned and rested back against the counter, hating the buzz that churned in my stomach when I switched threads and quickly tapped out another message.
Me
You ready to go check the status of your car? I’ll be there in fifteen.
Silas had called after midnight to let me know one of his guys had hauled it in. He said he’d personally take a look at it first thing this morning.
Dude was biker through and through.
In the game as long as me and my brothers had been.
Knew him from way back in the day when we were all members of the Iron Owls MC. Silas had established his own club, Crimson Crows, after the Owls had disintegrated when our president had gone completely corrupt.
Old fury flickered beneath the surface of my skin. There’d been some rumblings that Toga, the piece of shit I’d been hunting for years, was trying to resurrect the Owls. Still in hiding but making contact with some of his loyals.
He’d always remained one fuckin’ step ahead of me.
Hell, for a long time, I’d thought the bastard had to be dead until we’d gotten murmurings of him making calls and working deals, all while remaining out of touch and out of sight.
I knew what the prick thought. He thought he was going to build an army and leave himself untouchable.
But the second I located where he was hiding, he was going to discover just how fuckingtouchablehe was. I was going to see to it that he was looking in my eyes as I drained the blood from his body.
But since we knew the Owls being revived would be a danger to all of us, one of our oldest friends and our old Vice Pres ofthe Owls, Trent Lawson, had urged Silas to relocate his MC to Moonlit Ridge.
Knowing we’d all likely be targets if the Owls were breathed new life, and we all were going to need to stand for each other.
Silas and his crew were as lawless as we were. Wrought with peril.
Only thing that mattered was I knew I could trust him.
I stood there waiting for Piper’s response, and the little dots popped up and disappeared like three times. No question, she was trying to form some kind of refusal. Decided to beat her to the punch.
Me
And don’t give me some bullshit that you’ll handle it yourself.
Could almost feel the breeze of her huff.
Little Liar
I’ll be ready when you get here.
