My heart starts going haywire and panic begins setting in. I shake her and her body tips. I catch her before she falls to the ground. Twisting her, I make it so that she’s laying on my lap. I whisper her name again, but she’s still unresponsive. With shaky hands and bones laden with fear, I check
Rowan. I can’t explain the fear I felt when I saw the bastard pointing a gun at her head. She was shaking, and tears were falling down her face. I heard as she pleaded with him to spare her, but I knew he wouldn’t. When she closed her eyes. As if accepting her fate. It nearly brought me to my fuck

It’s been two days since Emma and I were kidnapped. The police have searched for Reaper, but he was in the wind again. They couldn’t find him and those of his men who were caught weren’t talking. I’ve lived in constant fear since then. I don’t want something like that happening again. I especially
I haven’t seen him since the last time he was here. Gunner is here almost every day and Noah sometimes goes to their house, but I’ve hardly seen or interacted with Calvin. It’s like for some unknown reason he was avoiding me. “Do you want to come in?” I ask him when I see him shuffling from one foo
