“You don’t have to worry about that. Lyla’s given me everything that was missing with Laurel. I think I was supposed to be with her from the beginning. After all, I met Lyla first.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah. But she was shy, blew me off,” I tell him with a grin. “Guess I gave up too easily, and then Laurel showed an interest in me.”
“Don’t make the same mistake,” he says.
“Does that mean you’re encouraging me to be with Lyla?”
“If she’s happy, then I’m happy. After Dockery is dead, of course.”
“Of course,” I agree.
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
Lyla
“In a few hours, this will all be over with,” Bear promises me. “You’ll be safe.”
It took my dad several days to come around to my plan, but he finally gave in. Then it took several more days for him to ensure he had every base covered.
“It’s not me I’m worried about,” I tell him. “I know I’ll be fine. I won’t be here. You will. So will my dad, his friends, your brothers. I worry about all of you getting hurt.”
“It’s one man. We can take him.”
“What will you do when you have him cornered?” I ask.
“What do you want to happen?”
“I guess I want him to go back to prison.”
“Even though he could escape or be released again in a few years.”
I nod because I don’t want to be responsible for a man dying.
“Okay. I’ll try to convince your dad to turn him in to the police.”
“Promise?” I ask because I don’t want Bear to be anything like my father.
“I can’t make that promise, baby. I wish I could.”
“Yeah, I know. My dad wants to murder him. I’m just ready to get this over with. How do we get started?”
“First, we’re going to go by your house, then your dad’s clubhouse, places the stalker has likely been monitoring.”
“Okay.”
“Then, I’ll take you home and go back to Greer’s to meet up with Isaac, Remy, and Colt. Devil Hounds will be in place all throughout the neighborhood to keep an eye on things and let us know if or when he shows while making sure you get to the meet-up point, where RJ will be waiting with a four-wheeler that will take you through the woods to Remy’s motel. Hugo and Jordan will be there waiting, making sure it’s clear for you to hide out in a room with Thane.”
“Sounds like you’ve got it all covered.”
“We do. Just try to act normal, but stay close in case he loses his patience.”
“Do we know his name yet?” I ask.
“No,” Barrett answers.
“And my dad didn’t tell you why he’s after me?”
