I lunged with a roar, clawing, grasping, desperate to rip and shatter. Get out of the way! I WANT HER!
“Jesus fucking Christ!” The one who called me brother jumped backwards.
“Get back!” A deep booming voice rebounded. “Everyone get back, now!”
I swung my gaze toward the movement. I will kill…I will KILL!
“Baby,” her voice broke through.
Baby?
Through the gloom, movement came, stepping from between the others. I stilled, swallowing my rage, transfixed by the sight of her.
“Fuck no!” That deep snarl bellowed as he stepped in her way.
“Stop, Vivienne!” The one who’d called himself brother moved in from the other side.
Both guarding her...from me. They were guarding her from me.
“Get out of my way!” She fought them “That’s my Colt. He needs me…HE NEEDS ME!”
My eyes darted from her to the two other men, then back again. Desperation tightened my chest as she shoved their hands away and rushed past, her tear-filled eyes burning with anger.
Wildcat.
The name was branded in my mind.
“It’s me…” she murmured, her focus solely on me. “You remember me, right?”
Movement came to my right. I swung toward it, unleashing a warning.
“Hey,” she snapped softly.
I jerked back to her instantly.
She shook her head, taking a slow step forward. “Over here, big guy. You don’t need to worry about them. That’s it, look at me. You remember me, right? I’m your Wildcat.”
“Cat.” The word was a hoarse snarl.
“That’s it,” she murmured, taking one step closer. “Your Wildcat.”
They all watched her, every male in the room. For a second, I didn’t like that. Get your eyes off her. Mine…
That movement came again, hedging closer at my right. But I didn’t look at them…all I saw was her.
“You remember that night you watched over me?” she murmured. “While the storm unleashed over our house.”
My heart boomed like thunder, an ache filled my chest.
Pressure came at the shackle around my throat, pushing, fumbling. I wanted to turn, started to, until fear widened her eyes.
“You must’ve been so scared yourself.” She took a step closer. “Still, you sat there watching over me. My protector, aren’t you? My big, strong, protector.”
My nostrils flared, breathing her in. She was so close now, so close I could—my tongue snaked out, licking my lips. I wanted to touch her. I wanted to—
“I can’t get the bolt free.” The male that fumbled with the steel around my neck grunted.
“Get that fucking thing off his neck.”
