Excerpt:
Blaise Hughes might be the boss, but he wasn’t going to also control who I loved. Noa had been the one thing that wasn’t controlled within the family. She hadn’t been something I had to share. Fit into the darkness of our world. Being told that I couldn’t have the one person who could calm me, make me forget the other shit, wasn’t working for me.
I was glad I hadn’t admitted to Bane that this hadn’t been my first time to go check on her. If he knew I’d been four other times this month, then he’d really freak the hell out. I just hadn’t been seen or had to kill anyone the other times. Most of those visits, she’d been asleep and I’d sat and watched her. It had given me peace.
“I’m not worried about Blaise,” I told him.
His head snapped around, and he looked at me. “You should be.”
“Didn’t Sebastian Shepherd take his woman and run off with her? She’d been off limits too, and Blaise didn’t kill him.”
Sebastian was part of the Georgia branch, and when he’d broken command, it had spread through the family. He’d also lived and was engaged to the woman now.
“You’re not a goddamn Shepherd,” Bane hissed. “Other than the Hugheses, the Shepherds are the oldest line in the family. His lineage saved him. That and his brother is a psychopath. One Blaise didn’t want to kill too. Because if he’d killed Sebastian, he’d have had to kill Thatcher. The deranged son of a bitch would have burned them all to the ground in Ocala if something had happened to Sebastian. THIS,” he held out his hands. “Is a completely different situation. You don’t have a lethal psycho brother that is indispensable to Blaise Hughes.”
There was truth to that, but I was still holding onto the fact that I would be allowed to have Noa and live.
“Is she worth losing your life over?” Bane demanded.
I stared at him only a moment before responding honestly.
“She is my life.”
Bane’s shoulders rose and fell as he took a deep breath and ran his hand through his hair. “Alright then. What is it you want me to do?”
A grin tugged at the corners of my mouth, but I didn’t dare give in and smile. Bane might have a change of heart if I pissed him off. And I did need his help.
“Cover for me. I need to go back and see her. Talk to her. She’s hurting, and I’m the cause of it. I can’t allow it to continue.
Bane’s brows drew together. “You want to tell her what the f*ck is going on?
“Not exactly. I just need her to know… I need her to wait for me. To know that I love her.”
The scowl on his face said he didn’t like this idea. “Fine. Just don’t get us both killed.”
