A thought pops in my head, and I can’t believe I forgot about her. Pulling away, I tilt my head back and meet Scythe’s gaze. “Did you guys get Slick?”

“Yeah, baby, we got her. She’s still locked away for the time being,” he answers.

I nod and swallow down my nerves as I make a decision, and I know he’s not going to like it. “I want to see her.”

“Why?” he asks cautiously.

“Because I have a few things I want to ask her myself.”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“Why? Because she’s locked away? Because she was part of what happened?”

“What happened with Slick and you?” he cocks a brow. “What has you asking about her now?”

“You guys have her, but you haven’t questioned her yet?” I plant my hands on my hips and watch him closely.

“Ohm we’ve talked to her, well, Beast and Diablo have, but she’s ranting about how you ruined everything for her.”

“That’s because she wanted you and Styxx for herself.” I shrug and drop my arms to my sides. “She was mad over being kicked out and not having you and Styxx as hers. She came to the salon and decided to try and make a scene. Because of her, I escorted her out the back and right into Porter’s trap.”

Scythe narrows his eyes and stares at me for a brief moment. “You want to talk to her, then I’m there with you.”

“That’s fine with me.” Not that I would have a problem with him being there. I don’t want to face her without him. I also don’t want to look weak either.

“You sure about this?” Styxx asks, standing in front of the doors with Reaper, Angel, and Tombstone.

Hellhound already went inside ahead of us, along with Daemon.

I straighten and look directly at Styxx, feeling Scythe curl his arm around me. “Yes, I’m sure about this.”

Styxx looks to Scythe and then back to me. No one else but the three of us knows I’m pregnant except for the doctor who told me and Scythe. The only reason Styxx knows is Scythe couldn’t keep the news from him.

“Fine, but you need to stay out of her reach,” Styxx grumbles, and I cock my brow up at Scythe.

“Hate to say it, but you’re not just stuck with an overprotective man, baby, but a future brother-in-law as well,” Scythe murmurs not so quietly.

“Let me take a guess, Jos is pregnant,” Angel quips and looks to Tombstone, holding out his hand. “Pay up fucker. I called it.”

“Fucker,” Tombstone grumbles and reaches into his pocket.

Reaper chuckles and shakes his head. “Let’s get this over with then.”

Taking a breath, I move forward and into the cabin, feeling Scythe right behind me. His heat surrounding me, making me feel safe.

“Let me go,” Slick screeches and yanks on the bars drawing my attention straight to her. “You can’t do this to me. You have no right.”

“That’s where you’re wrong,” I speak up, getting her focus.

“You stupid bitch,” she snaps.

“Ugh, sorry, Slick, but that would be you that’s the stupid bitch.” I remark, not wanting to deal with this bullshit and get right to it. “Did you mean to help Porter?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she lies, and I know it from the way she snaps it so quickly.

“Yes, you do. Now answer me.”
