Crack!
“Then we’ll find another way in,” he said carefully. “We do it on our own. We are a team, you hear me? Whatever happens out there, you have us. We’re not going anywhere. We’re with you.”
Tears blurred his face as the light on the keypad in front of us turned from red to green and the door gave a click, opening itself.
Kane jerked his gaze to the door, then shouted behind us. “Boys.”
They all turned and glared at us, until they saw the door. It hit me at that moment that it opening hadn't come from the code. Kane stepped forward, grabbed the smooth edge of the door and opened it wider. I lifted my gaze, sweeping along the glinting wall and upwards. High above us was a camera…one so small you could easily miss it.
“What the fuck?” Riven muttered as he brushed my shoulder, opened the door wider, and peered inside.
But a chill raced along my spine. Someone was watching us…no, someone was watching me.
“Riven, wait—” I barely got the words out before he stepped into the darkness.
It was too late.
Far too late.
To stop this now.
THIRTY-FIVE

“Pet?” London called me and pushed forward.
I jerked sideways, one hand holding my belly and the other a gun, lifting it high in the air as I took aim. Bang! The kickback was strong. Still, the shot hit its mark, bringing one asshole to his knees in front of Carven. He took him out with one slash of his knife across his throat, killing him instantly.
Blood shot high, then welled over the gash before he fell face down, leaving us to step over him and keep going. There were too many of them spilling from around this ugly fucking thing in front of us. Too many for us to wade through.
“Son.” Came a snarl from our right.
Out of nowhere they came, three Sons spreading out to attack us. Carven and Colt were at the front, surging forward to slam into two of them. But that left one…and he came for us.
Grunts followed as Carven slashed and punched. But each blow he gave was met with one just as fast if not faster. His brows creased with the effort, unleashing all he had. But these warriors were strong and trained…and there were too many of them.
Crack!
A shot came from out of nowhere and slammed into the third Son who’d come to attack us. He stumbled backwards but didn’t go down. No, he righted himself and surged forward. But as London readied to attack, three massive men slammed into them. I caught sight of the towering hitman London had called Alvarez and two others just as big and dangerous. The Cerberus brothers. Three men who did the Mafia dirty work. Three men you didn’t want to mess with.
Powerful blows landed, driving the Son down.
Crack!
Alvarez fired his weapon, killing the male instantly. He slumped to the ground and for a second, I felt…loss at the sight of his dead body in front of me. I knew there was no way out of this for them. It was either kill or be killed. Still, knowing they had no choice but to attack hit me harder than I was prepared for. That could’ve been Carven or Colt. I shifted my focus to my twins, each of them fighting with all they had. The only difference was, my Sons fought for survival and love, not for a leader who was a monster.
Alvarez lifted his head, then glanced back at us over his shoulder. One nod from London and he left with the brothers, pushing further into the horde of Hale’s henchmen.
“We can’t get through.” London scanned the mass of men fighting in front of us. The Lawlor men were there, driving powerful blows into a mass of bikers, dropping one after another. “Not through there, are least.”
Movement came from the right. Hidden further back from the trees where the three Sons had come from there was a door, one that was open, leading into darkness. “There,” I shouted, lifting the gun and pointing to the door. “There’s a door.”
Carven rose from a Son, the blade in his hand dripping blood. “I’ll go.”
“No,” I shook my head. “We stay together, remember?”
He didn’t like it, clenching his jaw, but he nodded.
