“Because I got the President arrested and have to tell them what’s happening. You wanted to meet my family.” I shrug.

“Yeah, but not like this.”

Same.

CHAPTERTEN

MALACHI

I finger combmy hair and curse to myself, wishing I was in regular clothes and showered.

“Stop fidgeting. All they’re going to see is a cop. Hopefully, at this time, most of them are asleep.” Aspen bites her lip as she places her hand on a scanner to unlock the door.

I let her lead me inside and look around slowly.

It’s a huge room with tons of couches, chairs, tables, a pool table tucked into a corner, and a bar with a stairwell behind it. A few doors are scattered around, and standing in front of one is a huge man with bright red hair. His massive arms are crossed over his chest, but I can still see the VP patch on his leather vest from where I’m standing.

I narrow my eyes at him because I can tell he’s the one who drove off with my girl after our fight.

“Issac?” Aspen calls to him, but he shakes his head without speaking.

“SPARK! Pay attention. We need Judge, now.” His eyes move from me to Aspen, and a soft look of concern fills his face.

“You ok, Sparrow?” She takes my hand and squeezes it hard.

“No. Wolf’s in lock up.” Spark snorts.

“Have lover boy get him out.” I step forward against Aspen’s struggles to keep me at her side.

“I tried. He’s being held on drug charges.” I quickly give him the facts, and he curses, pulling out his phone.

A man holding a fussy baby walks into the room and stops dead.

“Milly, go back to the room. I got Cole.” The woman following him frowns before she looks up at us, standing with Spark.

She turns white as a ghost before a scream pierces the room. She falls to her knees, holding her head in her hands, rocking as the room fills with people searching for whoever is in distress.

“FUCK! GET HIM OUT!” The man tries to calm the woman and the baby.

“Give me Cole.” A blonde woman I meet at the bar takes the baby and walks through another door.

“Sparrow, his kind aren’t welcome here.” My spine tingles.

“His kind?” I hiss as I turn to face the man who addressed me so ignorantly.

The man standing in front of me looks like he just dragged himself out of a war zone. I open my mouth and then close it. He’s missing a fucking leg. I look around the room, and the eyes meeting mine are angry and full of fear.

“Please, Malachi. Let’s go.” Aspen takes my hand again and pulls me to the door.

I don’t resist.

“I’m sorry,” I look over at the woman, clearly having some type of episode that I’m the cause of.

“You have nothing to be sorry for. But they all do.” Aspen hisses at the room before slamming the door closed behind us.

“You said it would be bad, but I never dreamed,” I rub my face and let out a long breath.

“Hey!” We turned to see the man that was holding the baby.
