Chapter 57-

Lottie

The worry in Killian’s eyes was understandable. But when I glanced over at Xander the look on his face took my breath away. He looked like he had been gutted.

My heart twisted, and without meaning to I pushed Killian’s hands off of me and pushed myself up to sitting. Now the heavy table was off of me, it was easier to breath but there was a stinging pain in my shoulder.

“Shit.” Killian’s hands went to it instantly. “Were you hit?” His fingers probed over me and again I swatted his hand &way.

“Hey I’m fine.” I said that to Xander not to Killian because Xander was the one who looked like he was going to faint with worry. “I’m fine.” I said again more firmly and this time I made sure I caught Xander’s eyes. He didn’t blink so neither did I. “It’s just a scratch. Look.” It stung but I wiped the blood fr my shoulder.

For a second he didn’t look convinced and then all the tension left his body. He dropped to his knees and I swatted his hands away just like I had killians and pushed myself to my feet. Swaying slightly.

“I am fine.” I snapped although I wasn’t really angry at any of them. Their concern was kind of endearing. I just wasn’t used to people fussing over me. Al these two big burly bikers fussed like a pair of broody hens.

“That fucking hurt.” I rounded on Rancher. My eyes blazing. “Did you have to shove the table on me without warning?”

He shrugged. “I gave you a warning. I did what I had to to save your life.” Cockily he pointed, and we all turned in shock. There was an arc of bullet holes

where my head had been.

The blood drained from my face. “Oh.”

“You’re welcome.” Tipping his hat again he sauntered off and it was almost like nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

And maybe to these guys this was an every day occurrence but now I was looking at the bullet holes where my head had just been, I feel queasy.

My hand reached out and landed on a warm firm forearm. “Is anyone hurt?”

“No.” That didn’t come from any of my men. And there he was again. Like some big brooding bird. The president of the Lost Reapers su hiked to creep around. “Nothing serious, Rancher might need a few stitches but over all this was nothing but a warning shot.”

“They were aiming at Lottie.” Killian said through clenched teeth. “Just look at

Ravens eyes darkened. “They weren’t. They were aiming at Daisy.”

“And how do you know that?”

“Because she’s gone.”

My eyebrows slammed down. “Gone or taken?” I asked in a shaky voice I hadn’t much liked the pretty girl when I had seen her but that had been because of jealousy and nothing more. I knew she was risking a lot going against her brother.

A hell of a lot because I knew the sort of man he was and I had a sneaky suspicion she did too. Otherwise why would she be here?

Chapter 57

Ravep: eyes met mine. “We don’t know. I told her to stay in the office and she wasn’t there. The back door was open but her car was still in the lot.” He ran a hand through his black hair. “It doesn’t look good.”

My heart lurched. I had no idea why Daisy had agreed to help us or what information she knew about her brother that would but something didn’t feel righ

about this.

“You have to find her.”

“That’s the plan but-”

I lurched forward. Gripping his heavily tattooed forearm.

My nails dug in as all the past trauma came back in a rush. “No.” I said more firmly. “You have to find her. You don’t know what Josh will do to her. What

is capable of.”

Hysteria was entering my voice and I didn’t care. Neither did I care that I was leaving little half moons in this big biker’s arm.

“Please Raven. Please-”

“Guys, I think Lottie needs to get out of here.” He stepped back and I fell backwards almost like he had pushed me. A sob ripped its way out of my chest an

two sets of strong arms steadied me.

“He will hurt her worse than death.” I tried to plead with him again. “Death would be-“

Raven stepped forward. His hands came down to pinch my cheeks. Completely ignoring the warning growl that left Killian’s lips.

“Listen to me Lottie.” He ordered. Instantly I went quiet but the tears kept falling down my cheeks. “I am doing everything I can to help you Lottie and I an going to do everything I can to help Daisy as well.” His voice broke and I frowned.

He sounded like he really cared.

Were they? Could they be having a relationship? Sure there was an age gap. A pretty big one but it wasn’t unheard of.

“But I need you to calm the fuck down and do as you are told right now. Those shots, were warnings and if you don’t fucking hehave then you are going to get people killed. Do you understand me?”

Silently I nodded.

“The lost reapers are at war.” Raven’s voice rose up even as silence fell. “Tidy this shit up and sort yourselves out I’m calling Church,”

I didn’t know what that meant, some kind of meeting, maybe because I knew damn well that none of these men had been in a place of worship for a hell of a long time.

“When-” Xander began to ask and one look from Raven shut him down.

“Not for you two. Your only job is to get Lottie somewhere safe. Not your home. Not some hotel you can be traced to. Somewhere no one will expect you to go. She needs to be kept out of sight for the next few days. Do you have somewhere like that?”

He looked at Xander and I could understand why. He was the more stable and mature one out of the part.

Killian sighed loudly. “Yeah. I have somewhere like that.”
