Liam paced back and forth in front of the coffee table, hands fidgeting. Restless. He’d been this way since aine had told him about her plan to go speak with Volk.

“It’s the only option we have at this point,” Elaine said. “Even if I got the East River Pack’s support, Alexon’t even consider joining in unless Volk is handled. There’s no other way.”

“I still don’t like it. And I don’t like that you want to go there by yourself,” Liam growled out.
