He'd come for her, but it wasn't about her.

It wasn't about loving her.

It was about possessing her.

Kent might be trying to take her away, but he didn't know a very important detail.

I smiled and it wasn't a nice smile.

It was hard.

Feral.

Kent Hunt might be trying to take Arlys away with him, but they didn't call me 'Thief' for nothing.

I opened up the throttle and leaned into the wind.

I knew I'd have my brothers at my back.

That's what we did for each other.

ARLYS

I could hope that we'd stop to sleep somewhere, but with the way Kent was wound?

I didn't think he'd stop until he was ready to drop.

I didn't want us to go that far.

If he fell asleep at the wheel, what was going to happen to me and my baby.

And yes, I didn't consider the baby Kent's.

He didn't deserve her.

Or him.

"What the fuck?"

I lifted my chin and turned to look at Kent.

He had his hands on the wheel, white-knuckled and flexing.

Kent narrowed his eyes as he looked out of the windshield.

"What a stupid fuck!"

I leaned forward, too. Narrowing my eyes at the road ahead.

There was something in the road.

I just didn't know what it was.

"I think he's coming at us!"

In my heart I knew who 'HE' was.

Don't ask me how.
