Someone who despises my sweet Wildcat.

Someone who—no fucking way.

Suddenly, I’m on my feet, my chair crashes into the wall. There’s no doubt in my mind who our little rat is.

I bet she’s been playing the Jackals from day one.

That viperous bitch.

“Where the fuck is Maria?”

* * *

Pretty Boy tightenshis hold on Maria’s dark locks, and she whimpers pathetically.

“Shut the fuck up, stupid bitch,” he growls, yanking her backwards to secure her bound hands to the steel beam in the middle of the dank room. He insisted on handling her himself, since he was the one who brought her into the clubhouse the first time. I think he feels responsible for Everleigh’s abduction.

And we know she was abducted because of the cryptic messages we’ve been able to decipher on Maria’s phone. She just hasn’t admitted it yet.

We also know who Maria is, and what her purpose in our clubhouse was. To spy and report back to the Demon Wolves. She’s kept them one step ahead of us, but I’m about to fix that.

Here and now.

This woman will give me the information I want.

Even if I have to cut it out of her.

“Tell me the truth, Maria, before this turns nasty,” I advise, trying to appeal to her without turning feral on her. My patience is wearing dangerously thin. “Where is she?”

I don’t know how long Everleigh’s been gone, but I know whoever’s involved with her abduction is as good as dead. If I don’t get to them first, there’s a line of Jackals upstairs waiting to have a go.

“If she’s lucky, she’s already dead,” Maria hisses, staring up at me with cold, menacing eyes. Then she smirks. “Unless that haven’t finished with her yet. Then I’m sure she’s having the time of her life.”

Pretty Boy reaches out to slap her hard across the face, wiping the smirk off her face. She snarls up at him, the sight of her own blood staining her teeth. Pretty Boy, while always jovial at a party, was deadly when it mattered most. “You never learned what to do with that pretty mouth of yours.”

“I might’ve tried harder if you gave me something worth filling it with,” she spits at him, but before he can haul off and slap her again, I do it for him.

“You will answer me, Maria.” She glares up at me with hatred burning bright in her eyes. I curse myself for not kicking this viper to the curb when I became club president. She always been a problem for this club, but I don’t think any of thought she was capable of this. Her betrayal cuts to the heart of us. “One way… or another.”

“You think your threat scares me?”

“No.” I feel a deadly calm wash over me as I lean into the feral. “I don’t think there’s much in this world that scares you,Triple Time.”

“See, you don’t need me to find what you’re looking for,” she smirks. Once of the first things Code did was ask for her phone. They also tore apart her car and her area of the sweet butt room.

“You’re not wrong,” I acknowledge, because there’s no sense lying to her. Sinking down on my haunches until we are face to face, I drag in a deep breath. “But won’t it feel so fucking good to say the words yourself? To claim your victory? How long have you been spying for the Wolves?”

“No, I don’t think you’ve figured everything out. Have you, V?” She tosses her head back and laughs. “You don’t know where your precious little Wildcat is.”

“You will tell me—”

“That’s the thing. I can’t tell you something I don’t know.” She leans back with a smug smile. My hands itch to wrap around her throat and watch her life fade from her eyes. “Raymond, well, Tormentor, as I know him, was careful. He knew my cover could be blow over this, so he never told me where he planned to take her.”

“Tell me one thing, did your orders come from Hog or Raymond?”

“Both.”

“Are you sure about that?”
