But Dominic hadn’t hurt me.
Still, had I been able to defend myself, I’d have gotten away.
My brothers all knew how to shoot a gun, and they were good at it. Especially Joe and Talon. I needed to learn. The idea scared me more than a little, but it was something I needed to do.
But ask my brothers to teach me?
No way. They wouldn’t do it, anyway, and even if they did, I’d have to deal with all their Alpha bullshit.
I had a sister-in-law who was a former police detective and a crack shot. I’d ask Ruby.
I sent her a quick text.
She texted back.
As it happens, I’m going to
the shooting range tomorrow.
You can come with me, and I’ll
show you the basics.
I smiled.

I insisted on meeting in the park. That it was the place where he’d taken Marj was no coincidence. I also frisked him, even checking his crotch, which wasn’t fun, but his brother had been carrying there. Dominic was armed, of course, and I insisted he remove his gun and set it down on the bench.

“I’m not here to make any trouble,” he said. “I’m being well paid to ask you if you’ll talk to this person.”
“I won’t talk to anyone unless you tell me who it is.”
“I can’t do that. Not yet.”
“Why the hell not?” I was tempted to sic my gun on him, but what good would that do? His weapon was sitting right next to him, and I was no killer.
“That’s all I can say.”
“Where’s Cade?” I demanded.
“I don’t know. It might surprise you that he doesn’t tell me when he disappears.”
“Then he’s disappeared before?”
