I couldn’t tell you why my stomach dropped and clenched like it did, why my heart stuttered to a stop before restarting at a hummingbird wing’s pace.
Like I knew.
Somehow.
“Go,” Kylo snapped.
He felt it too.
Something was wrong.
With Siana.
Even as I started to run out of the room, I heard a scream.
Herscream.
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Siana
I figured the guys wanted to discuss illegal stuff that they didn’t want me to hear.
It didn’t even cross my mind to be offended by that.
Not with the pounding like an unskilled high school marching band going on behind my eyes.
I just wanted coffee.
And to see if I still had some spare ibuprofen in my purse somewhere.
Maybe grab some more water just to make sure the headache wasn’t because of that, even though both Eddie and Alaric had forced me to drink fluids.
I was just happy Kylo was okay. I didn’t really need to be involved with the stuff about the bad guys. I was perfectly comfortable admitting that that business didn’t and shouldn’t involve me.
Though as I grabbed a tray in the cafeteria to stick all my coffees in—theirs black, mine with extra cream and sugar because that was the only way I could choke it down, I couldn’t help but wonder how Alaric and Kylo would try to handle the situation.
I had a feeling they wouldn’t want to involve the police.
I was swiping my card to pay when a thought rammed into my head like a freight train.
Did Alaric plan to kill them?
Then, not long after that:Has Alaric killed people?
Those were the kinds of things a woman should know about a man before she got involved with them, right?
Then again, I was rational enough to understand that there were situations that might call for it. Times of life and death. Where it was you or the other guy.
I couldn’t blame Alaric for choosing himself. Or his loved ones.
And I really couldn’t see him murdering someone just randomly.
I could live with someone who had taken a life because of danger or love.
I mean, I was relatively sure that I could take someone’s life if they so much as tried to kick my dog.
I sat for a moment, knowing the guys likely needed a bit to talk about things, sipping my coffee, then finding and taking the medicine that would hopefully take my headache away.
