“Fuck you and fuck him,” I was about to turn and walk away.

“May…you’re phone is about to ring in just a second.”

I froze where I was. My phone was already vibrating in my left back pocket. When I read the name on the screen I looked up and found Gisella’s crystal blue eyes looking mischievous.

Nora’s name was on my phone.

Our woman?The Corsican was peeking out from behind his mental wall.

Yes, and how did Gisella know?

Who cares,the Corsican sighed, the love sick sticky sweetness draining into my brain.Answer our woman.

Hitting the green phone icon, I answered immediately trying not to sound as if I’d been killing my liver with whiskey.

“Nora…”

The conversation that followed had me seeing red. The phone called ended with the Corsican fully awake and pissed off. Matteo looked at us nervously but the only one I wanted to kill had my woman.

“What does my father have to do with all of this?” I was seething, rage was filling every pore of my body.

Gisella turned and whispered something to a guard. He stepped forward and handed her a velvet box. She stepped up further onto the porch, box in hand and stood before me.

“I never meant to hurt you, May.” Gisella went to touch my face but the Corsican snarled at her and her hand dropped like a leaded weight.

“Right,” she bit her lip. “Your father requested that you come alone Mason.”

“Come alone where? Why in the fuck does Tobias Shaw have Nora. He’s supposed to be fucking dead…I saw him die myself.”

Gisella sighed. “Tobias has gone mad….a side effect of the Corsican serum.”

“The what?” Matteo stepped over to us.

Gisella gave him a look. “Your father doesn’t explain all of his business to me. I’ve just picked up on things here and there.”

I was trying so hard to battle for control. The Corsican was about to rip Gisella’s slender throat out and as much as I wanted him to, I needed to know what she knew.

Behave,I warned him.

Fuck this shit,He howled.Our woman….

We’ll find her. We need to know what we’re about to walk into.

“Your father has been working with foreign governments and our own,” Gisella shrugged. “Natural Corsican births take too long to occur or some shit. He constantly cries about Matteo’s never fully emerging. He’s had scientists working on a serum…”

Matteo scoffed. “Holy fucking shit.”

“He wants to test it out,” Gisella shrugged. “This is your ticket into the proverbial Coliseum.”

“Like with lions and shit?” I asked frowning.

“Tobias hates you,” Gisella was rubbing her stomach. “He’s strong, May. Good luck.”

She handed over the velvet box and it felt slightly heavy in my hands. A wickedly strong wind that seemed to want to pull the trees up out of the ground had started to swirl.

Indeed, a storm was approaching Seattle and my father had brought it.

Tobias Shaw was one of the most sadistic men I’d ever encountered. We’d fought side by side in Afghanistan. I’d been his team leader but when I’d caught him raping local Afghan women and their teenage daughters, I’d had him brought up on charges. As he’d raped them, he’d made them say Hail Mary’s…. I had watched him be loaded onto a departing military vehicle to go and stand trial when it hit a land mine.
