I kiss her again and her blush deepens. She looks over at Thor and seeing his confusion, climbs off my lap. She turns around, holding her hands behind her back, twists one of her bracelets, and shows him the little knife. She turns around, re-secures it, and then Thor pulls her into his lap.
“Thank you, Wildcat.” He kisses her and then put on his bracelets as I do the same.
I pause as I look at them, a thought coming to mind. “How long does it take you to make these?”
Levi shrugs. “The longest part is waiting for the blades to come in. I have a guy that I work with for all of my designs. He used to compete with me, and we became friends. Once they arrive, I just have to make the cord and secure it to the blade and sheath.”
I look at Thor and he gives me a chin lift.
“Wildcat, would you be able to make a bunch for the guys? I have a feeling things are going to get worse before they get better. We know Fang will stop at nothing to get you, and now we’ve got Sean in the mix, too. I’d feel better if the guys had this as an advantage for if one of them is taken.”
Levi blushes and looks down at her hands, twisting them nervously as she clears her throat. “Well, I’m glad you think that, because I’ve already kind of got them made,” she says as she looks up at him sheepishly.
Bear and Roy bust out laughing at the shocked look on our faces.
“God damn, I love you, woman,” Thor says as he captures her lips. Roy groans, and I laugh.
“Can you save that for when I’m not around? I get that she’s with you both, but there are some things a Father doesn’t want to see,” he groans again as he runs a hand over his face. Levi chuckles as she pulls back from Thor.
“Sorry but not sorry, Dad.”
Roy laughs, but nods.
A phone vibrates, and Thor swats Levi’s thigh. She gets up and sits back in my lap, taking a sip of her beer.
“Yo, Alexei, what’s up?” He freezes and then glances at Levi, then me. “Bring it into Church. I’ll send Colt out to take your place.”
He hangs up and runs a hand through his hair and then sends a text, most likely to Colt.
“What’s wrong?” Levi asks.
He pauses and dread fills my stomach. He opens his mouth and closes it a few times before sighing.
“A package has been delivered. Addressed to you.” He pauses again and a pained look crosses his face. “It’s got dried blood on it, Levi. It might be best if you weren’t there when we opened it.” Her face pales and I feel her body start to tremble.
“You’ll tell me what it is, though, right?”
Thor looks at me, and I nod. I know she’s been worried sick about the women that have gone missing. I just hope it isn’t what I think isn’t. Thor sighs.
“Yeah, Wildcat, we’ll tell you. But you gotta let us handle this. Stay out here with the other women, your dad, and the prospects for now.” She nods, and he gets up, giving her a quick kiss.
I place a kiss on her temple, and she slides off my lap just as the door opens. Her eyes lock on the box and grow wide. Her body starts trembling even more, and I curse the timing of things. Looking over her shoulder, Roy nods at me and then pulls her into his arms. Giving him a chin lift, I follow Thor.
“Church!” Thor bellows. A few brothers look up, surprised, but their faces grow grim when they see the box Alexei’s carrying.
We file into Church. Alexei puts the box on the head table and then ducks out after everyone’s inside, shutting the door behind him. Thor nods to Patch, and he pulls some gloves out of his kit. Carefully, he opens the box and then steps back, his face clenched in anger. Taking a step forward, I quickly turn away.
Inside the box is a severed hand with its fingertips burned off, some cut-up underwear, and pictures of women who had all been beaten. They all look like my Spitfire.
Patch takes a deep breath and reaches into the box, pulling out the pictures and a note before fanning them out on the table. There are names of ten women on each of the pictures but the eleventh picture… It’s a picture of Levi in between both of us as we sit on the swing on our back deck.
You didn’t listen to me, Levi. You were promised to me. You let someone else touch you and take what was mine. I’m taking it out tenfold on others until you return to me. Tic toc, Princess.
~ Fang
Thor roars, his fist crashing into the wall.
A small knock on the door draws my attention, and I turn seeing Levi enter with her phone in her hand.
