Silence met her words as she slumps against me, emotionally drained after telling us what had happened. I tuck her head under my chin and hold her, occasionally dropping a few kisses on the top of her head. After a few minutes, she turns toward the coffee table.
“What’s the note say in the box?”
Bear’s gaze shoots to Thor, who gives him a chin lift. Just as he’s about to reach inside, Sasha puts a hand on his arm, stopping him.
“?????????. Shouldn’t we check for fingerprints?”
Thor sighs and shakes his head.
“Ryder already checked for fingerprints. Only ones he found were on the outside of the box, which didn’t bring up any leads. Prospect said a teenage courier dropped off the package. He was most likely paid to drop it off and knew nothing of what was inside.”
With a sigh, Sasha nods and let go of Bear’s arm. He picks up the note and his sharp intake has my stomach in knots.
The note shakes in his hands, and his gaze goes back to the box before he sifts through the pictures. He sets aside some of them face down, most likely the ones of Levi’s mother, and his gaze bounces between Thor and me. Rage fills his eyes and is practically rolling off him. He stands, the box in his hands, and walks over to us. After a few seconds, he hands it to Levi, but doesn’t let go right away.
“This time, if we catch the fuckers, they will die.”
Levi looks up at him before sitting up straighter. Her eyes harden as rage rolls off her. “If those four lived and are coming after us again, death will not be immediate. Those fuckers will be tortured, and Iwillhave a hand in the torturing and killing.”
Bear’s gaze shoots to Thor, and she turns her stare toward him. No one says anything for a few moments before Thor sighs and nods. Fuck, I’m not sure I’m okay with this.
“As much as I don’t want you to have to witness anything like that again, baby girl, I know you need to do this.”
Thor’s gaze locks with mine, and we both nod.
I didn’t miss the nickname he gives her either, but I don’t think she notices due to the range of emotions she’s reliving. I’m sure he didn’t miss the nickname I’d given her earlier; truth be told. Levi’s ours and we won’t stop until she’s tied to us in every way. Though if she truly doesn’t want anything to do with us, we would back away even though it would kill us. But based on how she seemed just a bit ago, that might not be the case.
Levi nods to Thor, and lifts her legs off his lap, shifting slightly on my lap before standing up. I bite my lip to keep the groan from escaping when she shifts on my lap. Fuck, this woman’s going to be the death of me.
She paces in front of the TV before taking a deep breath and opening the box. Her eyes widen and her hands tremble as she picks up the note before she flipping through the photos.
“????? ???,” she whispers as her gaze darts around at the contents.
“Spitfire?”
She turns toward me, and I freeze at the pissed and murderous look on her face. There must be something wrong with me, because seeing her like this is fucking turning me on.
“He’s mine to kill,” she grinds out.
With that, she thrusts the box into my hands before she rushes out the front door.
A moment later, we can see her through the windows, practically running across the wrap around deck to the backyard with a bag slung over her shoulder. Fuck, I bet she’s gonna bring her knives out.
Fuck.
I bet she’s fucking hot with blades strapped to her gorgeous curves. I shake myself internally to get a grip on myself. This is not the time to be getting worked up like that.
Taking a deep breath, I flip open the box and am surprised by the number of pictures still in the box. Rage fills my veins as I sift through them. When I read the note, I can’t believe the fucking piece of shit.
I look up at Thor and the others before clearing my throat. I know Thor, Phoenix, Roy, and now Bear know the contents, but the others don’t.
“Fuckers been stalking her for years. There’s dates and ages on all of them. They started when she was seventeen. There’s some from Roy’s house, at the bar and grill, inside her apartment, some out and about with Sasha and Alexei, of you guys with some other guy, and of her in class. Some of the pictures look like they could be from Sasha’s or Alexei’s apartment. There are even ones from when we packed up her place earlier today. Fuckers obsessed with her.”
“What’s the note say?” Alexei asks, though I notice his jaw is tight and fists are clenched. My jaw tightens again as I look down at it, clutched in my hand.
I told you earlier that I’ll get what’s mine, bitch. What should have been mine years ago. You won’t be able to hide from me, as I’ve proven by these photos. Those Steel Archangel pussies won’t be able to protect you. You’ll scream for me once again, just like your mother did. Only this time, your punishment will be worse. Keep running from me and your little friends will endure the same punishment. You’ll watch as they are tortured and killed. No one messes with us.
