Alyssa King and Niko walk into the room, the smell of greasy food hitting the air as King drops a Five Guys bag onto the bed. Zuri immediately reaches for it, demanding for someone to open it, even though she just ate lunch an hour ago. "I'm not asking you anymore, Alyssa. Eat," King growls, his
I square my shoulders, meeting his gaze head-on. "You know what, I'm not doing this with you guys right now," I snap, blinking back the tears threatening to fall. My emotions are every-fucking-where. It's like I don't even have control over myself anymore. And that scares me. This place is fuckin
Mason Fifteen minutes later, Alyssa is violently throwing up in the bathroom. She's hunched over the toilet, trembling with every heave, while Niko holds her hair back. I can hear it all too clearly, and my stomach twists in response. I inch away from the door, swallowing down the bile rising i
King "Just how pussy-whipped has she got you?" Gray growls, glaring at me from across his desk. He angrily chews a piece of licorice, his new addiction of choice. "You know the clubhouse is the safest place for them." My jaw tenses. I don't like being questioned, but this is his little sister w
He actually has a point. We need to make sure she can protect herself. Especially now. There's not a chance in hell we'd ever leave her unprotected, but if anything happens to us, she needs to have a fighting chance to end that bastard's life. "I'll take care of it," I promise. Gray studies me
Alyssa A dull pressure blooms low in my abdomen, dragging me from my already restless sleep. With a groan, I shift, wincing as I pull myself upright. For what feels like the fiftieth time tonight, I have to fucking pee. The familiar creak of the bed draws my attention—It's not from me but from
He pulls a book from the nearby stack on the table, its cover catching the light from the lamp. I recognize it: a hard copy of my favorite dark romance. "I didn't know you read smut," I tease, giggling. "I don't," he admits. "But a while ago, back at the clubhouse, I saw you reading it on your
Alyssa By the time King and Niko get up a few hours later, Zuri's wide awake, already drinking her morning bottle, and I'm pouring my second cup of coffee. The rich smell curls in the air, but it does nothing to ease the steady ache in my chest. Niko steps into the kitchen, shirtless and groggy,
I snort. "Right. Glad we're so goddamn tight."He hums, thoughtful now. "Your obsession with King Sterling's bitch is gonna get you buried. Come back. We'll find Silas, clean this shit up, and maybe you'll start thinking straight again.""I'm not coming back." I snap. "Not without her."There's anot
LoganFor the first time in weeks, it's me when I wake up.No growling.No barked threats. No pressure pounding behind my eyes like War's trying to crack my skull open from the inside out. Just... silence. And the soft, steady beat of someone else's heart.Hers.Alyssa's curled in King's arms on
"Don't worry, kitten," he says, his voice like gravel. "I'm saving all my energy for tonight. You already gave me fucking blue-balls earlier. I hope you're ready to pay for that."I drag my thumb slowly across his bottom lip, watching his eyes flare."Oh, I'm ready, Daddy," I purr. "Don't hold back.
AlyssaWhen I finally come out of the bathroom, I'm not surprised to find Niko, Mason, and War already asleep.The motel didn't have side-by-side rooms available, and War flat-out refused to be separated from us—not after what happened. So he's on the pullout, and Niko and Mason are curled up togeth
TW: Nonconsensual sex/RapeSilasShe whimpers beneath me, clawing at the sheets like a trapped animal."S-Sir, it hurts," Jolene chokes out, her voice weak. Useless. I slam into her harder, fisting her thin hair and shoving her face into the pillow. "Shut the fuck up."Two blue pills have my cock s
I sit up, blinking the fog away as we pull into the lot. "Can I go with you? I need to stretch my legs." And fucking pee. Niko glances at King. "Fine. Five minutes," King says sternly. "Not a second more." Niko nods once. "Heard." "I'm coming with you," Mason says, already sliding the door ope
Mason soon returns to the car, a new pair of keys clutched in his hand. His face is unreadable, but tense. Something else must've happened. He opens the back door and grabs my hand to help me out. "Let's go. I'll fill you in on the bad news once we're out of here." My stomach plummets. Bad news
Alyssa We sit in the car, parked beneath the flickering lights of a gas station that looks like it's two seconds from giving out entirely. It's 2 a.m., freezing outside, and the only reason I'm not shivering is because Niko's got the heater blasting like he's trying to cook us. Mason steps out to
I brought this heat down on us.Fuck. King's gonna kill me.I drag their bodies into the bathroom, wipe down every surface I touch, and shut the door behind me. Then, I glance both ways down the hall. No doors opening. No screaming. The silencer didn't echo loud enough to stir anyone up. But my tho
