I continue to fan myself as I repeat the fun phone conversation. The whole time glancing at the door, hoping Remy comes back and finishes what we started.
Chapter Twenty
Lawson
“You did what?” I growl, staring at Heath.
“I told you, Frank will be here tomorrow,” he replies, leaning against the wall in his gym.
“So, you found him and led him to you,” I say slowly.
“I made it known I was asking about him. He thinks I want to do some kind of business. We set up a meeting.” He taps his cane. “I don’t think he would have come so easily if I had mentioned your name. This way, I can feel him out.”
“Why?” I pace in front of him. Hunter and Bane stand beside him, watching me. “It’s my problem.”
“Law, we won’t leave you to deal with him alone,” Hunter says.
“You must not have noticed,” Heath hums, standing straight. “Bane and Hunter are my family, so that makes you family.Once we found you, your problems became ours. Frank would be stupid if he tried anything against me.”
“He’s known to make rash decisions.” I stop and cross my arms. “Why do you think he won’t?”
“I may have revealed what I am to the right people. He doesn’t want to fight me,” he says lightly.
I laugh abruptly and look away. “He loves to fight.” I look back. “I don’t want my brothers near him. I need to be here.”
“We will be fine,” Hunter says.
“What’s the point of waiting? The deal was, I needed to get answers,” I say roughly.
“And when I get all the information I can about him, you will,” Heath says.
“What more do we need to know?” I demand. “He’s a sick killer. He threatened, held his pack hostage, and swore to me that my brothers were dead for years.” I grit my teeth and look away.
“Brother,” Bane says softly. “We don’t know how many shifters he will bring with him or how many will come looking for him if you kill him. Before we had a mate, it didn’t matter. We have to think of Haven. She is our priority. Heath can read him and anyone he brings here. Do you want to let Frank and his pack loose here? We wait. We watch, and then you get your revenge.”
“We gather all of them in one place and make them disappear,” Hunter says, and I stare at him. “What? Surprised? I can feel what he did to you.” He pounds his chest. “I don’t give a fuck if he dies tomorrow. I will help dispose of the body and go home to Haven with no regrets.” He glances at Heath and Bane before focusing on me. “He thinks he’s going to have a ring to fight in. Heath has a reputation, and he will take advantage of that. He gathers his pack and comes here to have a ruthless night of fighting. We control the night and time, and we prepare.Those in his pack who want out, we help. Those who are as bad as he is never leave this building.”
“He’ll smell my scent and yours if you're here tomorrow. He’ll know your family,” I say.
“I know,” Heath says. “That’s why they won’t be here.”
“Heath,” Hunter growls.
“No.” Heath looks toward the back hallway. “They will be here with me.” Quinn, Micah, and Bash stroll into the room. “It will be fun having the three of us fighting together again.” Quinn and Micah have known Heath for years. “Bash is here to clean the building. He has talented methods. Once you three leave tonight, he will get to work.”
“I didn’t ask any of you to do this,” I say.
“You didn’t have to,” Heath says.
“We enjoy a good night of intrigue,” Micah says, grinning.
“It’s gotten boring around here,” Bash says.
“Taking out a bad guy every once in a while is fun.” Quinn shrugs.
“It'll be suspicious, the lack of smell,” I say.
“It’s a gym. We like to keep it sanitary,” Heath says.
