Hurricane growls under his breath. “That bastard has to pay!”
Kaia glances up at Grit, a longing look in her eyes. “Has she shown any sign of improvement since she’s been here?”
Grit nods. “Her hands have stopped clenching. They managed to stop the seizure and bring her back. Now we wait for her to wake and see what the damage is, if any.”
Kaia exhales. “How long will she be in the hospital?”
Grit shrugs. “I have no idea. That all depends on when she wakes.”
Kaia turns to look at Hurricane. “I’m staying. I can’t leave her.”
Hurricane runs his fingers through his hair. “All right, Sha. If you need this, then I’ll stay too. Club business can wa—”
“No! I need you to go back to the club. I need you to be there to take care of Immy when you’re not coming up with a plan to deal with thisfuckingproblem. I need you to make Anton and the Bratva pay for what they have done to our family. To our club. Fix this, Hurricane, or so help me God, I will go after Anton myself, and trust me, you donotwant me to let loose on that bastard,” she demands, her tone so forceful that I wonder if Hurricane doesn’t follow through if their relationship might be in trouble.
Hurricane grabs the back of her head and pulls her lips to his in a passionate kiss, making my eyes widen in shock.
Not the response I was expecting.
But he kisses her like it might be the last time, his fingers in her hair, holding tight. His other hand clenches her ass, and her good hand runs up and down his back. Her bad hand hangs loosely against his bicep as they make out without regard for us being in the room.
Grit clears his throat, reminding them we’re here.
Kaia pulls back, stumbling a little as she leans against Lani’s bed. “What was that for?” she asks breathlessly.
Hurricane’s lips turn up in the corner as he looks her up and down. “I fuckin’ love it when you take control and get all demandin’ like that.”
She rolls her eyes and spins to face Lani. “Don’t flatter me, Hurricane. Justfixthis.”
He kisses her shoulder tenderly, his arm wrapping around her stomach as he holds onto her from behind. “I’m gonna make Anton suffer in ways he has never dreamed of. He came after my family, my club. There’s no comin’ back from that. It’s all-out war, and Defianceneverloses a war.”
“Pres… I’m out of this fight. I want to help the club. YouknowI do. This patch means fuckingeverythingto me. But my place is right here by Lani’s side. I’m not leaving until I know she’s okay,” Grit admits, and Hurricane nods.
“Wouldn’t want it any other way, brother. I need you here to watch my girls. If Kaia is stayin’, then I need my best men watchin’ over her, and you’re one of the best, Grit. I need to know they’re both safe here while we’re goin’ to deal with this shit.”
“You know I got this, Pres. Leave another man with me for backup, and we should be all good.”
Hurricane nods. “I’ll leave Ghoul. Any sign of problems, any updates on Lani? You fuckin’ call.”
“Got it,” Grit replies with a head bob.
Hurricane spins Kaia around to face him. “You take it easy, Sha. You rest as much as you can while here.” He turns to look at Grit. “Make sure she fuckin’ rests!”
Grit dips his chin in response. “I’ll take care of her, Pres. We’re family.”
Kaia brings her good hand up to Hurricane’s cheek and sighs. “Take care of Immy. She may only be seven months old, but she witnessed a lot in that bunker. Make sure she’s fine. Give her a lot of attention, okay?”
“I got this, baby. Love you.”
“Love you too. Now go. You’ve got shit to do.”
Hurricane chuckles, turning for me, and we head to the exit to tell the others who have been waiting for hours what’s happening.
“What a day,” I mumble as we walk the hall.
Hurricane shakes his head, his grip tight on me. “I don’t know that the club has ever been on a knife’s edge like it is right now. We’re at a tippin’ point, and I’m either gonna lead the club into a new phase, or I’m gonna do this all wrong, and it’ll be the death of us all.”
I tighten my grip on him. “Heavy is the crown, my love. But if there is one thing I know about you, it’s that you wear that crown with so much fucking pride, power, and persuasion that you can do anything you set your mind to. You want this club to win this war? One way or another, you will.”
