I surveyed the room again. We could easily handle the situation on our own.

Spoke too soon.

Two guys came out from the back. I recognized the taller one from the picture on Ire’s phone.

“Reign, do you know that guy?” The blonde chick pointed at me.

Keg turned my way. “Who the fuck are you?”

“Shit,” Bone hissed.

“Nobody.” Reign got to her feet.

“Her lover. I’m here to claim her.”

“Son of a bitch. That’s not how we planned it, brother.” Bone fired two shots at the ceiling. It was our code to get the others inside.

Keg reached for his back pocket. I leaped over the bar, utter chaos ensuing in the building.

The blonde screamed and backed into a corner near the register.

“Let’s go!” I grabbed Reign’s hand to get her to safety.

“No!” She jerked away, catching me off guard.

“Don’t fight me, woman!” Something hit my head. I flung my arm back and knocked the blonde on her ass.

“You ain’t going anywhere, Regina.” Keg reached for Reign.

Why the fuck did he keep calling her Regina?

Surprising me, she stabbed the prez in the shoulder with a piece of broken glass.

“Fucking whore,” he yelled.

I reacted swiftly, throwing her over my shoulder and running for the exit. All around me, shit was going down. As much as I wanted to stay, I needed to get Reign out of there. Keg remained behind the bar, out of the line of fire, probably trying to stop the bleeding. Reign might have hit an artery. We should be so lucky. Otherwise, if not, one of the Knights had better end Keg.

I burst through the door and nearly plowed down Mason.

“Let’s go!” I shouted, trotting with Reign in a fireman’s carry.

“No, Jonah!” She pounded her fists on my back. “I can’t leave.”

“The fuck you can’t!”

Maddox was in the driver’s seat, and Mason hopped into the passenger chair while I shoved Reign into the backseat. The damn woman fought back, kicking and slapping.

“Drive! Drive!” I looked out the window, holding onto Reign’s arm. No one had followed us. Dammit, I wished I was back there in the bar brawl.

“Jonah, take me back! Please, take me back. You don’t know what you’re doing,” Reign cried, thrashing beside me, giving it her all to break free.

“I’m getting you out from under that fucker.”

“No, you’re only going to make matters worse for me.”

“Make matters worse? I will protect you.” Why was she giving me a hard time? If she wanted to be with Keg, I wasn’t sure what I’d do.

“How?” she asked, studying me as if considering the possibilities. “He’ll find me. He’ll kill everyone I love. Including you.”
