The pain in my head is making me nauseous and not being able to move makes me feel claustrophobic. I swallow over and over to try to keep myself from being sick. Who the fuck would do this to me?
“Well looks like someone finally woke up,” a deep voice says.
I snap my head toward the sound and instinctively try to pull my hand forward to cover my mouth. All the pain and nerves get the best of me and I lean as far forward as I can as I lose my fight to keep from being sick.
“Oh fuck, are you kidding me?” the man groans.
I turn my head toward him as I cough on the disgusting taste in my mouth. “Who the hell are you? What do you want?”
He doesn’t bother to clean up my vomit or even offer me water to rinse my mouth. He pulls a chair over, turning it backwards and straddles it. “The names Damon and I already have what I want,” he says with a sickening laugh.
He’s huge. I’ve never seen someone as muscular as him. I thought Kace was big, but this guy has him beat. His eyes rack over me and it sends a chill over my body. When his eyes collide with mine, I see evil staring back.
“Please let me go,” I beg, choking back tears.
He laughs as he tosses the chair behind him, stepping closer to me. He pulls a knife out from his waistband and my heart stops in my chest. The cold metal presses under my chin, giving me no choice but to stare right in his wicked eyes. The blade is flat under my chin, but the point is just barely hitting my throat. One quick move and he’ll end my life.
“I like a girl who begs. This will be more fun than I expected,” he whispers. A sickening grin spreading across his hardened face. “The Shattered Souls killed my president and vice president. They will all die, but first I owe Kace a little revenge. Killing the cunt that he’s fucking will have to do.”
I can’t see straight as the tears flow. “Please, I’m pregnant,” I cry.
He jumps back as his eyes widen. He points the knife at me with a huge smile on his face. “Holy fuck, two for one. This is better than I even thought.” I try fighting against the zip ties so hard I can feel the blood as they break the skin. “Relax Ivy, it’s going to be slow and painful. You aren’t going to die today.” He grabs onto my shoulders, so his face is right in mine. “But you are going to die, you both are. Kace wanted to prove he was a man, let’s see how he handles the death of his cunt and kid.”
Chapter 13
Kace
“We should’ve just let them burn with the building,” Riley says, lighting a cigarette.
“You really are a fucking idiot,” I say, walking away from where we just buried Hawk and Bane. There were a few other guys with them that we killed too, but I have no fucking idea who they were.
Zane steps up next to me, handing me a smoke. “We need to find Damon and Casper
.”
“No shit,” I say, squeezing the back of my neck.
“We’ll head to the hospital to check on Brooks and figure out a plan,” he says.
I feel good knowing Hawk and Bane are dead, but Damon is a crazy motherfucker. I’m sure they know what happened by now. Which means Damon and Casper are in charge. We need to kill them before they retaliate.
As we ride to the hospital, I can't help the small smile that hits my face. I’m ready to see my girl and find out how her appointment went. Harper told Zane earlier that they were all going to the hospital to be with Maren. I feel better knowing they are with Enzo, not some guy we don’t know much about.
We park outside the hospital and head inside. Zane asks at the desk where we can wait, and the woman looks like she’s going to shit herself looking around at us. I laugh walking up to the desk. “You’re good darlin’, we just need to check on a friend.” She nods and points us toward the elevators.
“Damn, she was ready to drop to her knees so I could slide my cock in her mouth,” Riley says, laughing.
“Oh yeah, that’s what you got out of her reaction?” I ask.
“Fuck yeah.”
“How the fuck are you still alive? I mean it fucking amazes me that you even know how to feed yourself,” I say, shaking my head. Everyone laughs as Riley flips me off.
The elevator opens and we step out. A short trip down an empty hallway leads us to the waiting room. I fucking hate hospitals. It reminds me of death or near death.
“Oh, thank fuck,” Harper says, rushing towards Zane. He catches her and slams his mouth to hers. Nora is sitting with Enzo. Adalyn and Maren are sitting together, holding holds. Gillian surprises me by sprinting to Riley. He grabs her and they share an unexpected intimate hug. I look around and notice Ivy isn’t here.
“Where’s Ivy?”
