“I can’t.” Anguish clogs my chest, and tears stream down my cheeks as a sob wreaks through my body.
It’s all too much, and I just want to run away and forget everything that happened, but I know that will never be.
I can’t forget what I went through. I can only hope leaving with Glacier, I can at least escape the pain and memories.
CHAPTER10
SAVAGE
“Savage, you’re gonna have to chill out.”
My teeth clench, and it’s all I can do to keep from losing my shit and throwing my phone across the room. It’s been three months of the same damn report, and I’m fucking over it.
“I’m done waiting around.”
It’s the same answer I give him each time, but he has a way of talking me down. I don’t know what it is. He just does it every damn time. Maybe it’s the way he cares for his cousin. At the hospital, when she’d been in there, I saw the way he was with her. They were definitely more like siblings than anything else. I also saw the way it affected Gunner. Neither of us wanted her to return to the Poseidon clubhouse with Glacier, but we both knew it was for the best.
“You need to give her a bit more time. I keep telling you.”
“And I keep telling you, Glacier. This time I’m done fuckin’ around. It’s been three months. Three fuckin’ months of you giving us updates. I want to see her for myself. Bring her home where she belongs. I need to be the one to help her. I didn’t fight when she needed to get out of here. I know it’s on us. On the club, what she went through, but none of us can fix shit when she’s not around for us to do that,” I state, looking at nothing as I do everything in my power to keep my temper in check.
“Savage, there’s shit you all don’t know. Shit, she’s trying to work through.”
“I don’t give a damn.”
“You should,” he grunts.
“Why? Because she’s better off without any of us?”
“Didn’t say that,” Glacier mumbles. “I know where she belongs, where she should be, but mentally, she’s in a completely different zone altogether. She’s not ready to face what happened to her.” He pauses, and I can hear an audible sigh. “You want to know the truth, man? She’s been in a dark as fuck place, so damn dark. If not for the ol’ ladies to my brothers helping her alongside Delaney, she wouldn’t be here, and I’m not talking figuratively.”
Fuck. Shit. God damnit all.
“I’m coming to get her,” I state through clenched teeth and hang up, not waiting for him to respond again.
Those last words of his circle in my mind, and I’m thrown back in time. Back to a time I hate thinking about.I shove the memories back in place, not letting them out completely.
I push away from the brick of the clubhouse. I stalk toward the doors, ready to grab my bag and get the fuck out of there.
Inside, I spot Gunner, phone to his ear, eyes on me. “Right. It’s his decision, and I agree with him. Been long enough away from my sister. Know she’s with you, Glacier, but I’ve got to make things right with Honor, and I can’t do that when she’s fuckin’ hours away from me.”
I don’t stop to hear what else is said as I make my way down the hall to my room.
In the past three months, everyone has mostly steered clear of me. The clubwhores especially. They learned quickly I wasn’t to be fucked with. I made a decision, and I’m sticking to it. Honor is mine, and I’m not about to branch out to get other pussy. Not after having her. Definitely not after what she endured.
Since that day, I’ve done nothing but look for the bastards, but like the rats they are, they’ve crawled deep into a hole somewhere. Fuckers are slimy, but I’ll find them, and when I do, I’ll make them pay. They won’t get away with it. The shitty part of all this is my Prez’s ol’ lady keeps apologizing for it. I get it wasn’t her. She’s nothing like her siblings. The woman works her ass off to be who she is, and she shouldn’t be feeling this shit. It’s affecting her, and she’s got a baby and toddler to take care of. We all know Avery, though, and she takes that shit head-on.
I’ve done my best to make sure she doesn’t feel my anger cause the woman doesn’t deserve that. She’s good and pure, the perfect woman for Hammer. Just like Willow is for Malice, CJ for Axe, Rebel for Rogue, and Zinnia for Gunner. And I intend to make sure Honor gets to have what the others do.
I just have to bring her back here. Back where she belongs. Then I can make a game plan of helping her get over the bullshit she’s been through.
In my room, I grab the bag I’ve kept packed and ready to go, sling it over my shoulder, and make my way back out. I stop in the hall when I find Gunner standing there.
“Give me two minutes and I’m riding out with you. Just got to tell my woman and daughter,” he says.
I nod and step around him in order to head out to my bike, but Gunner calls out to me. I come to a halt and twist only my head to stare back at him.
“Glacier told me what he said to you. Don’t know what’s going on in your head, but gotta know you’re good.”
