he Lion’s Den seemed to be at the center of everything. I’d sent Madden and Cian out to find out what they could about the new owners of the damn club. Laoise and Tiernan were tasked with trying to track down the girl from last night and I was here waiting for the rest of my guys to arrive.

I was growing restless with the lack of information so far. As much as I wanted to trust Cian to let his guy handle the hunt for what we needed to know, I couldn’t. I wanted my own guy on it too, I needed something concrete for when I made the call to Stryker. It wouldn’t do the current deal I was brokering with them any good, if they found out I was keeping this from them and I didn’t trust any of these Irish not to run back to Lennox Senior if it meant getting back into his good graces.

“Dane,” Jonah answered before the phone even had a chance to ring. He sounded wary.

“Is everything okay Jonah?” I asked, I needed his full attention. I couldn't have him distracted.

    TEL’ANNAS“I trust that you’re finding the accommodations to your standards,” The familiar voice of my mystery captor came from somewhere near the door to my new hell. Sarcasm dripped as he stepped further into the room.Somewhere between my pounding on the door and finally giving up, I’d fallen asleep. I hadn’t planned too and I guess I could take solace in the fact that nothing had happened to me while I slept, but every nerve within buzzed, my flight or fight mode was stronger than ever now.“Not that I had very much of a choice in the matter, all things considered,” I replied flippantly as I scanned the hallway behind Blondie. Didn’t appear to be too many people in the hall behind him but that wasn’t to say there weren’t people I couldn’t see.Given what I knew bout the Ducane’s and the fact that this asshole literally looked like he stepped off the runway, it was a safe bet that the place would be crawling with all types of low life scum, happily feeding off the scraps their ove

    DANEToday had been one of the hardest for me. My brothers, thankfully, knew not to mess with me when they arrived. Ty was handling everything back in Southport but had informed me if I needed more back up he’d be down here with the rest at a moment's notice. As soon as Ax and the others had arrived, they’d checked in and hit the streets to gather more information for me.“Yo Dane, what’s going on in that head of yours?” Madden’s usually jovial voice was now more serious, he’d interrupted my thought process as he walked into the room I was now using as a makeshift headquarters.My laptop was set up at the small dining table under the window. The mirror I was using as a pinboard didn’t have much except for a few post-it notes that I was using as a quick reference to what we already knew. Waiting for Jonah was killing me. I needed him to get back to me with everything else fast.“Sorry Madz,” I acknowledged, my tone neutral due to the numbness that had started taking over the longer I

    TEL’ANNASThe solitude hadn’t lasted long. Shortly after Blondie had stormed out, a middle aged woman walked in, her expression was blank, posture stiff, she was flanked by four security guards. In her arms were several bags, which she dumped on the small table tucked away in the far corner of the room. I just sat on the bed and watched them, still trying to figure out how the hell I was going to make my escape.The lady stood there, pointed at the clothes and motioned towards the bathroom, not saying a word. I doubt it was a suggestion either, but fuck them I wasn’t some helpless girl they rescued, I was a fucking captive, here without a say. I turned to lay on the bed, there was no making this easy for them.“So you think maybe I could get something to eat and, ah, I dunno maybe a TV or something to keep me entertained,” I put on my best whiney voice, the one thing I’d learned so far was that it ticked off everyone that entered the room and them being angry and irrational was exact

    TEL’ANNAS“You’re an arse you know that right?” I seethed, standing face to face with Dane. The jackass had just put Phee on lockdown and had been going on and on about how much I was a bad influence letting her skip school and hang out at mine.“And you’re irresponsible Princess,” he retorted, whenever Dane got angry his jaw tensed, the veins in his neck popped out and the muscles in his arms would bulge more. “How is partying and skipping school supposed to help her?”“It’s called giving her back control Hot stuff,” I said as I made my way back into the living room. The house was empty now, my parents were away on business and the staff had been given some much needed time off. “You and the guys are smothering her, pushing her to do things she just isn’t ready to do, plus what's the big deal it’s not like she’s falling behind or anything.”“The big deal? The big fucking deal?, Are you serious right now?” Dane’s deep voice sent chills down my spine, the good kind of chills. I enjoye

    DANEThe sun shone down as Madden and I sat in the rental car across from Sun Sing Chinese Restaurant. We’d arrived twenty minutes early in order to coordinate with two more of our teams. With what little we had to go on, I had increased the tail on Alexander Ducane. It seemed that now Tel’annas was no longer a ‘threat’ to him, he'd become more relaxed. It had only been three days but the douchebag had ventured out more in those three days than he had in the last 3 weeks.Jonah had been able to hack his phone, even though it had taken a bit we were now able access everything without being detected. It had proved helpful to us and I was grateful for it. Jonah was really proving his worth with this.From that we had learned Alexander had appointments scheduled all day today, of those the one that stood out was with the organizers of the fight. The little information that we had on them, Jonah was right. Something was off about Blaze’s history. Through background checks that Killian did

    TEL’ANNASThe shrill sound of a siren blared throughout the room I’d now renamed my personalised torture chamber. Ever since Blaze had walked out, the hits had kept coming. I don’t know how many times the sirens had sounded, but it seemed every time I’d start to drift off, they echoed around the room, jolting me from whatever escape I needed to pass the time.The assholes were trying to use sleep deprivation to try and break me, and that meant that they either had an infinite amount of time to pull this off or they were shit out of ideas and had resorted to trying anything and everything they could possibly think of. Sleep deprivation being one of them.I groaned as I tried to stretch, realizing too late I was still strapped to the vault like contraption from earlier. My back and stomach ached from being bent over for so long, my arms had gone numb due to lack of blood flow and movement. And I was starving. It had been like three days or more since I’d actually eaten something of sub

    DANEEverything had started to fall into place, once our little meet and greet with Blaze had ended more of the pieces had started to come together. Turns out that our initial suspicions were correct. Blaze was in fact a double agent. Undercover for the FBI working on shutting down the Trafficking side of the Lords of Salem. Although he couldn’t give us too much information he had told us that he was aware of who Tel’annas was and the importance of her family.By the end, we had an ironclad agreement he would try to get my Princess out before the tournament was due to start, however, if that couldn’t be achieved he’d make sure it never went past the first round and that he’d have the information we needed to get her out. He’d been working on this since before the incident with Phoenix and had hoped they’d have closed it by then but our rescue had hampered their investigation.They had come across the case just days before Phee had arrived in the States, and had spent months building

    TEL’ANNASThe wind whipped around us as Dane and I made our way to the beach, we’d spent the day together just chilling. It had been great, we didn’t get many moments to steal away with each other now that Phoenix was home, but when they arose we took every opportunity.He’d just taken me out for dinner at a local food truck festival. It was incredible, so many different choices and which meant there would be no arguing about what each other wanted like there always was at the beach house. We had been enjoying our time when he looked up and saw my cousin and the boys walk through the main gate.We’d been keeping what we had a secret, not wanting to cause a stir or trouble while Phee had been recovering, plus if I was being honest I didn’t want to deal with the shit my cousin would spew. I’d already had one fight with him about not understanding his viewpoint because I didn’t have anyone special. I didn’t need him expanding on that and adding I’d be fucking up his friendship if he fou

    DANEFuck! It had taken longer than I had anticipated dealing with Eric, that I’d lost sight of my goal—to get to Tel’annas. By the time I’d knocked him out and left him for the Feds to deal with, she had been loaded into the back of an ambulance and was being rushed to a hospital. Dread started to pool within my gut thinking the worst as I scanned the chaos around me, looking for the one person responsible for the shit storm we were currently facing.“Did anyone see where Blaze went?” I yelled down the comms, hoping that at least someone in my team had been keeping an eye on him. Maybe it had been the guilt that had stopped me from going straight for her, I couldn’t tell. “We need to find out which hospital they are taking her to, I want feet on the ground there when she arrives, we can’t leave her unprotected.”All day I had been quietly trying to convince myself that everything would be okay after this, we’d be able to go back to what we were, but somewhere deep inside I knew that

    TEL’ANNASPain radiated from my shoulder, I knew going into tonight that Blaze had changed the plan, he assured me he’d told the others of the change and after much apprehension I’d agreed to it. But fuck me, even though it was a blank I’d been shot with it fucking hurt like a bitch and I hit the ground like a sack of potatoes.Anarchy had descended over the fight ring. It was enough of a distraction that no one noticed Alexander Ducane had made his way over one of the exits. Playing dead and stuck in this tiny cage, there was nothing I could do.Everyone was out to save themselves, they were running for the exits as the guards and security tried to round them all up. Some were trying to fight their way out, while others were resigned to the fact they’d been caught and put up little resistance.Towards the middle of the ring I could see Dane and Eric going at one another. The look on Dane’s face fucking scared the shit out of me. Max Ducane had disappeared into the chaos and the othe

    DANEI’d let my anger get the best of me last night. I saw the hurt briefly flash in Tel’annas’s eyes when I had the club whore grinding all over me. It gave me a small amount of satisfaction knowing that it had affected her, just as much as having to watch the little show she and Blaze put on affected me. The only difference was while mine was out of spite, I had trouble making out whether her little act was done in order to keep up the charade or if there was something little more starting between the two of them.“You’re just lucky you didn’t do anything you couldn’t come back from Dane,” Madden had been giving me shit all morning over the night before, and it was starting to really piss me off. “You didn’t hear the hurt in her voice as she watched man, it fucking killed her.”“Okay I bloody get it Madden, I fucked up,” I snapped at him, I’d had enough at this stage, and I didn’t need this shit right now, not when we were about to head into the final stages of the plan. “Can you j

    TEL’ANNASWe’d been here for an hour and already I was ready to get out of here, unfortunately Alexander had other plans. The asshole had spent the last thirty minutes talking to some of his other backers and from the little I could make out, something had them scared. More than a few wanted to pull out, stating they wanted nothing to do with whatever revenge plan he had cooked up.Hearing that, I could only surmise that either my family or Dane had figured out the other parties involved and had applied some pressure. It gave me some hope that all was not lost and a small amount of satisfaction that Eric was full of shit—my family did care. I still hadn’t been able to make contact with Dane, and Blaze had been busy playing his part, schmoozing the others that shared the VIP balcony, always making sure I was within his reach.Security had been beefed up tonight as well, many of whom I didn’t recognise, although that wasn’t hard given I’d barely been allowed to leave the room I’d been

    DANEI should have guessed this little party would be held at the Dolls House. I mean why hold it in a classy establishment when you could invite the scourge of society to a place and ply them with alcohol while throwing pussy at them.“No one is to drink,” I turned to my guys, even as the words left my mouth I had doubts about whether I’d be able to stick to the order. I wanted them to be alert at all times tonight, I had no idea what we were walking into. We’d seen the floor plans for this shit hole, and had been inside once or twice since we’d arrived in Claymore but we were not as familiar with it as I'd have liked. “I want eyes on all our targets, if an opportunity should arise, we take who we can.”“Dane, Blaze said not to cause any trouble,” Madden reminded me of the conversation we’d had. And yeah of course I know I was asked not to cause waves, but it won’t stop me if the opportunity comes my way.“Don’t care,” I said as we made our way to the entrance of the club. I had mor

    TEL’ANNASMy nerves were frayed, ever since the night of the fucking live stream, even the slightest movements made me jump. Blaze tried everything he could to reassure me there’d be no repeats of that fucking shitshow, I just had trouble believing him. I’d tried numerous times to reach out to Dane, yet Madden always answered and kept saying it wasn’t a good time, then would go on to ask what had happened.No matter how many times he asked, I couldn’t find it in myself to discuss, hell even I was having trouble coming to terms with it. Dane had told me to do what I needed to, and I had to a certain point. I had no idea how far I’d have to go, and when I realized the gravity of it all, it was too late by then. The room was full of people, guards had guns, I had just retreated into myself and tried to block it out.Thankfully Blaze had left me since, having sensed that I was not in the mood to talk to him, at this stage I’d convinced myself I had been stupid to blindly follow along.

    DANE“What the fuck happened the other night?” I could hear Madden talking on the phone. The last three days I’d done nothing but train. It was all I could do to keep the images of my Princess on her knees out of my head. “He’s been raging ever since the damn live feed.”It took a full day before I’d been ready to talk to anyone after the crap show. Madden and Ax had really stepped up and taken charge. They’d had to sedate me in order to get me to calm down and in that time they’d found out a whole fuck load of information that we’d been able to use.Jonah had been able to identify almost eighty percent of the other contestants and all of the other partners that Alexander Ducane had gathered on that night. While I’d have liked to have had some say in the planning that followed, Madden had really stepped up as my VP. Liaising with Stryker to have their resources work on taking out the financial backers.I wasn’t quite sure exactly what they had told the Lennox’s about that night but f

    TEL’ANNASMy skin crawled as the guards led me back to the room I shared with Blaze. The events of the night were on constant loop inside my head, everything on display for everyone to see. Gripping my robe tightly around my body, I tried to assure myself I’d get through this. I did what I had to do to survive. When I closed my eyes all I could see were the faces of the men who’d jerked off while I was strapped to the table. I heard their moans as they reached their release and smeared it over me as if they were laying claim.When I’d entered the room the first thing I did was run to the waste bin, everything inside me came up. Angry tears ran down my face as I stepped into the bathroom. Making sure the door was locked, I’d trusted Blaze before and that had landed me here. I felt dirty and ashamed. I had no doubt that Dane and some of the others were privy to the deprivation I’d experienced tonight.I rushed to the toilet again, the mere thought that Dane had witnessed tonight's even

    DANEMadden, Ax and I had gathered in my room, laptop ready for the Contenders Preview. About an hour ago we’d all received an email from the organizers, with a link to an invitation for a special preview of what we could look forward to. My stomach had been in knots ever since.“You ready for this?” Madden asked. It was a loaded question if I ever heard one. Was I ready? Fuck no, there was no preparing for what was about to unfold. I just shook my head and let out a loaded sigh.“Let's just get this over with,” I answered. Checking my phone one last time, still no answer from Blaze. That didn’t sit well with me, once we’d read the initial email, I’d reached out in order to find out more about the event, but there had been no reply which didn’t help with the angsty feelings I had.Both men just looked at me, a silent message passed between them before Ax clicked on the link. I was thankful that I’d given Jonah one of the links for tonight, because it became evident rather quickly tha
