“Are you okay?”
Tears well in her eyes. “I think so.”
“I need to get you back to the clubhouse so Abyss can check you over. Do you think you can ride behind me?”
She nods. I help her onto my bike, and my stomach clenches each time she winces in pain.
I’m going to enjoy making Brad suffer, stealing his last breath as I purge him from this world.
“I’ll go as slow as I can,” I tell her before getting on in front of her.
As hard as it is to watch my speed, I manage to keep it within ten miles per hour of the speed limit. All I want to do is get her home so Abyss can do his thing.
The bumpiest part of the ride is over the desert sand, and her arms tighten with each bump and jostle. It breaks my heart that I’m causing her distress, but it can’t be helped.
Grateful to reach the garage, I pull in and park. I lift Violet off the bike and into my arms. Then I carry her to the elevator, where I enter the security code to allow us entry during lockdown.
We reach the common room, and I swivel my head back and forth to look for Abyss. Malice rushes forward as soon as he spots us.
“What the fuck happened?” he demands.
I can’t sign, so Violet answers, but I’m unable to read her lips so I don’t catch what she says.
“Abyss is waiting in the medical wing, no doubt wearing a hole in the fucking floor,” Malice says. “Go ahead and take her back. I’ll stay here and wait for Justin to arrive with the others.”
I nod and then carry the love of my life to be treated by the good doctor… again.
CHAPTER36
VIOLET
“Grim,put me down. I can walk.”
Ever since he scooped me up at my apartment he hasn’t let go, other than to get us home. And even then, he never stopped touching me. He shakes his head vehemently.
I sigh, wrap my arms tighter around his neck, and breathe in his scent.
Oil and leather… Home.
If Justin hadn’t busted into the bedroom back at my apartment when he did, I’m not so sure I’d be alive, let alone in Grim’s embrace right now.
When we reach the common room, Malice rushes forward.
“What the fuck happened?” he demands.
Grim can’t sign because he’s carrying me, so I give Malice a quick rundown.
“Abyss is waiting in the medical wing, no doubt wearing a hole in the fucking floor,” Malice says. “Go ahead and take her back. I’ll stay here and wait for Justin to arrive with the others.”
Abyssispacing back and forth in the medical wing when we arrive. Worry etched in his expression. He straightens when he sees us and ushers us over to a gurney. Grim gently puts me down but doesn’t step away. I grab his hand and hang on, knowing how close I came to almost losing him. There’s no one else in the wing but the three of us.
Abyss pulls on his gloves and steps close to me.
“Jez,” I whisper to myself before I start screaming, my arms flailing. “Where’s Jez? Did you find Jez?”
Why isn’t she here? Where is she?
Grim holds me down so I don’t fall off the bed. Abyss’s shoulders droop, and he lifts his watery eyes to stare into mine. “We don’t know anything. Soul got a call that she was unresponsive and being taken to the hospital.” He picks up the small forceps and starts picking glass out of my arm.
