Should have killed him.
He might have if Remy hadn’t stopped him.
“I take it that you’ve donated money to this hospital,” Remy said as he came over.
The nurse was fussing over Isa and she’d shooed the two of them away, claiming they were getting in her way.
They likely were. But he didn’t like anyone standing between him and his girl. Especially when he was so close to the edge.
“It was supposed to be anonymous,” he gritted out.
“Easy,” Remy said in a low voice. He placed his hand on the back of Loki’s neck.
Loki had to fight hard not to push him off.
Remy squeezed. “Fight it back. She needs you.”
“I’m fucking trying. I should have killed him.”
“And then you’d be in jail rather than here. You will hold it together.”
That command combined with the hold the other man had on him allowed him to breathe easier.
Loki forced the fractured parts of his brain together.
Hold on.
He would hold on.

“Isa,hey, sorry. I had a patient . . . you know what, that doesn’t matter.”
Isa looked over at Xavier as he rushed into the room. The nurse had finally finished poking and prodding her and left the room. That was bad enough, but she didn’t know how she felt about Xavier examining her.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Xavier . . . but he was a doctor. What if he found something really wrong with her?
Loki was across the room, pacing. She knew she’d upset him by keeping this from him.
Remy too. But he had more of a poker face. It was harder to figure out what he was thinking.
Guilt swirled in her stomach.
You should have told them. Even if you were scared.
She guessed she would have been confessing soon anyway since her two weeks was kind of up.
By the time Xavier got close to her, she was starting to hyperventilate.
“Whoa, Isa. Take a deep breath for me, okay?”
She couldn’t. She just couldn’t.
Then, suddenly, her men were there. One on each side of her.
Loki sat up next to her while Remy placed his hand on the small of her back. She breathed them in.
They were here. She was safe.
