She nods before closing her eyes, and I sigh in relief, closing my eyes while I relax against her pillow, finally having her back in my arms again.

Chapter 31

Melanie

I wake up to voices and slowly open my eyes to see Slicer sitting on the chair next to my bed while Travis holds me tightly to him. They're both talking quietly, trying not to disturb me.

I close my eyes again and listen, letting their hush whispers soothe me.

"How long will you be gone for?"

Slicer shrugs. "Maybe a month. I don't know. Snake still can't trust his men, so he's come to Axel for help; they believe that's where Hairy is hiding, and to be fair, we don't want Star home until the fucker is found."

Travis sighs, "Alright, brother. Just stay in touch, yeah?"

I hear some rustling as Slicer stands before something soft touches my forehead. "Will do, brother. Take care of your girl, yeah."

I feel him nod before a soft click enters the room. I slowly open my eyes again before looking up at my man, who is playing with my hair, which is probably rank and greasy.

Shit.

I sit up a bit, gasping a little in pain, making him scowl at me. "Melanie."

I giggled a little before rasping, my throat still sore from being intubated. "Oh, hush you. My hair is probably gross, and I most likely stink. I need a shower.

He just shakes his head at me and grins. "Baby, I've been giving you bed baths, so don't worry."

My eyes widen comically, no doubt, while a blush hits my cheeks, making him chuckle before he slowly leans down and kisses my lips gently, once,twice, three times, like always, before pulling away a little as I lean against him again, relaxing.

He smiles and says, "Alright, Precious, I have a question that has driven me crazy for the past two months."

I look at him and raise a brow, and he grins, shaking his head. "Fuck, I've missed you. Alright, baby, how do you know my brother's legal name is Noah?"

I furrow my brows at him in confusion.

When did I mention Lilah's dad's name? He sees the confusion on my face and smirks, "You rang me that day and asked if I knew a Noah that did a club run to Wincher. I told you I knew one, and so do you. I also told you we were the only club who did that run."

My heart stops. Oh god, that's why Meg needed me to wake up; I had found out Lilah's dad was in Travis's club. I sit up even straighter, ignoring the stiffness and pain, and grab Travis's arm tightly,

"Who is he?"

He tilts his head and says, "It's Slicer, baby. But why did you want to know? Should I be jealous here because I feel like I should be?"

My eyes widen, ignoring his humor. "Oh my God, I knew it."

"What? Mel?"

My mouth hangs open. All along, my suspicions were right. He is Lilah's dad; that's why he looks so familiar to me.

Fuck, the eyes; it's the eyes and the hair; she's a spitting image of him, shit, shit, shit.

How did I not put it all together?

Dammit, I'm so dumb!

"Where is he now? Slicer?" I know he was just here, but maybe he can get him to come back.

Travis just raises a brow and says, "Baby, explanation first, please, because as of right now, I want to murder my brother!"
