They melded together in the dark. I turned away, unable to watch them kiss. My desperation boomed in my fucking head. But I didn’t need to look elsewhere for long before she broke away.

“We’ll bring him back,” she whispered, her teeth chattering. “One way or another.”

She turned then and started walking, never once looking back. A wave of love slammed into me as I watched her. I’d never felt this way before. Never felt so…indebted to someone other than London in my entire life.

I’d never needed anyone.

Not like this.

But I needed her now as I followed her through the trees. I needed her more than I needed to breathe. I turned to her as we cut through the trees toward the fence line. That ache of love filled me, making me feel violent and desperate all at the same time.

I shifted my focus to the terrain in front of us, stepping ahead to lead the way. The last thing I wanted was her falling into a damn ditch and twisting her ankle.

She followed, the quiet thud of her steps haunting mine as we eased closer.

The Patrol is a little…light.

Harper’s words filled me now as I turned my attention to the compound. It felt like minutes before the glint of steel came through the tree line up ahead. I slowed, almost stopping, and reached behind me to grab her arm.

Instinctively, she knew, her gaze following my nod to the shine of razor wire. I met her dark eyes, finding her careful nod.

The plan was simple; we get in and get my brother out without being seen…

But if that plan put me anywhere near anyone of those motherfuckers, you can bet his fucking life I’d take the bastard out. I gripped my knife and lowered my other hand to the wire cutters in my pocket, then pulled them free as I stepped close to the wires.

Snip.

Snip.

Snip.

I worked fast, cutting an area large enough for us to get past, and yanked the strands upwards. Vivienne moved, dropping to her knees before she scurried through.

That’s it, Wildcat.

I followed her inside the compound.

“You’re clear,” Harper’s murmur was in my ear. “Switch to night vision.”

I reached up and tugged down the expensive goggles London had brought back with him. Vivienne’s eyes shone neon in the dark. But she didn’t want the goggles. Instead, she followed me as I moved low and headed toward the hulking building in the distance.

I pocketed the cutters, then sheathed my knife before I lifting the sniper’s rifle equipped with the silencer. At this distance and in this light, I’d see them well before they even knew I was there. And they’d be dead in an instant. Just like they were yesterday.

Tobias Banks and his damn brothers might’ve taken Amo and several leaders of Death Valley Motor Cycle chapters, but they hadn’t taken out all of them, leaving just enough of the assholes behind to gather two more chapters.

They were bad news.

And they handled a lot of Hale’s dirty work.

The kind of work that would tarnish his image. If only they knew the vile fucker like we did. I pushed into a run, leaving Vivienne behind to catch up.

“Two coming up on your three o’clock,” Harper’s voice was in my ear.

The low sound of a vehicle came a second later. Vivienne slammed against me as we hit the corner of the building. I grabbed her, held my hand across her mouth, and turned my head as the patrol came to a stop around the corner.

“Wait here,” I whispered.

“Carven—” she hissed, but I was already lifting the muzzle of the gun as I stepped around her.
