All I saw was red.
I threw myself forward and grabbed one around the throat as he cocked his fist back to swing at Caleb…he swung alright—his entire fucking body—as I pivoted, cocked my hip, and slammed the gutless bastard to the floor.
My body came alive.
All I felt was the fight, my years of training kicking in. I went after them one by one as thecrackof a gunshot rang out somewhere else in the club. Caleb and I stopped fighting, his eyes widening.
“Tobias?” Caleb cried as it hit me, and I scanned the empty room around me.
Ryth…Ryth wasn’t here…so where the fuck was she?
TWENTY-FOUR

“Easy.”The bouncer came from nowhere, cutting me off from Nick as he charged between the tables and leaped at the group of bouncers who were beating Caleb.
“You’re not supposed to be back here. It’s exclusive only.” He took one look at me, his gaze lingering for a second on the mark on my face, before he stepped closer.
I shook my head, stepping to the side. “Get out of my way.”
“Not so fast.” He moved in, grabbed my arm, and shoved, forcing me backwards.
I jerked my gaze to Nick, a scream trapped in my throat, watching as Nick slammed one of the assholes to the floor and swung his fist at another.
“Pretty little thing like you.” The bouncer forced me backwards, through the door and out into the main club, pulling the door to the back room closed behind him.
“Get off me!” I shouted, wrenching my arm free. I spun, searching the tables full of of men, seeing the barely clothed dancers in front of them.
“Need help?” Another bouncer came from my left as a deafeningcrashcame from the back room.
I lunged, shoving the first bouncer aside to get to the door. They needed me…they needed me. “Caleb! Ni—”
A hand clamped over my mouth, smothering my scream.
“This the Banks bitch?” the second bouncer growled at my back. I fought against his hold, opened my mouth as wide as I could, and bit down.“Owww! Fucking bitch bit me!”
I thrashed my arms, tearing from his hold to stumble backwards. “Stay…the fuck away from me.”
Men sat at tables not ten feet away, but they did nothing as the two big bouncers flanked my sides and inched in.
“Gonna pay for that, Banks bitch,” the handsy asshole snarled.
“Hey.”Came from behind the bouncer.
He turned automatically. I caught the flash of rage in Tobias’ eyes before he unleashed, punching the jerk right in the nose. The towering male stumbled backwards and lifted his hand as blood spurted from his nostrils and ran down his lips.
“Get your hands off her,” Tobias roared.
My pulse raced as he stepped closer and turned that savage gaze to me, searching my eyes. “You okay?”
I nodded, my heart in my throat.
But then the other bouncer reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife. “Should’ve stayed away, Tobias. Now I’m gonna wreck that pretty face of yours.” He lashed out, driving the blade through the air dangerously close to Tobias’ face.
“No!”I let out a scream and lunged, clawing his cheeks from behind as the other guard tore me off him, lifting my feet from the ground.
“ENOUGH!”
