I looked over, but couldn’t make out the rider. Not until he pulled ahead a tiny bit and the back of his leather jacket revealed his affiliation.
Death Raider.
The back didn’t reveal his name, but I knew it was Silas.
Natty became motionless when she caught sight of him. She released a shuddery breath when ten more Death Raiders came up behind him, all taking up that middle lane. They rode with us all the way back to the club and then continued past the property when both of our vehicles had made it safely through the gates.
“Daisy, pack a bag, you’re sleeping in the main house tonight.”
Killian’s first words to me in what felt like hours had my frozen limbs moving. When we’d arrived, we huddled inside the main room of the club, ensuring everyone was safe. Killian had a cut on his face, and Wes had one on his arm, but otherwise, there were no casualties.
“Where will you be?” I asked, tugging on the edge of his leather cut. His arm was around me, but his gaze was distant.
When he didn’t reply, Natty let out a scoff before standing from the couch she was on.
“They’re all going to die tonight.”
My head snapped over to where she was standing, so did Callie’s.
Natty’s somber expression didn’t change as she continued, “He will kill every single one of them. I’m assuming Wes and Killian will go too. The attack on their women can’t go unpunished.”
No one said anything. I watched my friend, knowing she was speaking of Silas, but still unsure why she wasn’t saying his name.
“Callie, Laura, you can sleep in my room tonight,” she finished before walking up the stairs.
Killian pressed a kiss against my temple and then took my hand, guiding me back to the apartment. Before we walked out, I saw Callie and Wes in an argument. I was almost positive she didn’t want him to go, and I didn’t blame her. I didn’t want Killian to either, but I also knew it would go against his nature not to.
“Will you promise me that you’ll be careful?” I asked as I packed my things.
He ran a hand through his hair, clearly feeling agitated.
“Killian.”
He still didn’t respond.
“Promise me.”
“Only if you promise me not to go to The Hollow again, and you can’t wear your cut in public anymore.”
I nearly laughed because the idea of finally having his name on my back, and now having to give it up was ludicrous. “Then you don’t wear yours anymore.”
“I’m serious, Daisy.”
“I’m serious, Killian. I will if you do.”
He shook his head. “I don’t have time for this. Get your shit, and go over to the main house.”
With that, he walked out and slammed the door shut.
TWENTY-SIX
LAURA
I took the floor because Callie was currently pregnant, and I wasn’t about to steal Natty’s bed. It was nearly seven thirty in the morning, and the November sun was nearly nonexistent as gray seemed to replace any natural light in the room. I stood, stretching my arms above my head, trying not to wake anyone. I snagged my phone off the charger and began to scroll through my notifications.
Killian had texted at three in the morning.
Killian: You better be sleeping. Just letting you know I won’t be back for a while. We’re held up in one of our safe houses, and tomorrow I have some meetings. I’m sorry I was an asshole. You’re my favorite thing about breathing. Please let me kiss you tomorrow.
