I left my bike, giving a glance to my VP, and then cut the distance to Silas.

Once I was within ten feet of him, he made a tsking sound, shoving the barrel of his gun into Laura’s temple.

“That’s far enough, Mr. President.”

Seeing that gun against her head made me feel like my pulse was going to burst through my neck. I ground my molars together, staring and feeling helpless as this psycho held the girl, I was fairly certain I was in love with, at gunpoint. All I could think about was that day I had confessed what her eyes were like to me.

Cinderella Blue.

She had to be okay. He couldn’t hurt her. If he did, I’d rip his throat out, and we’d have a war. Likely one we’d lose, but it wouldn’t matter anyway because if those beautiful eyes stopped seeing the sky, then what was the point of any of this?

Understanding registered slow and painful. She was more important than the club.

“What the fuck is this, Silas?” I lifted my hands.

Tilting his head, his creepy eyes caught the light. His dark black hair was slicked back, his leather jacket on, his own President patch in place along with the death reaper and scythe. He looked every inch the monster I heard so many stories about.

His free hand went to Laura’s hip, pulling her closer, so her chest was flush against his. Her head moved to the side, but her expression remained the same. I stepped forward again, fucker needed to stop touching her.

“You need to tell me why the leader of the Chaos Kings was seen speaking to one of your wards, not once but fucking two times in a row, Killian.”

My fury was blinding me, making my brain go blank.

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

Silas glared at Laura, as though she was annoying him. “Is she important to you, Quinn?”

He pulled the black barrel down the length of her face again, this time slowly grazing her lips.

I faltered closer, my throat nearly closing. “Yes. Okay, that what you want to hear?” My voice was cracking again as I stepped even closer, but I couldn’t bring myself to care. “Just let her go.”

“See, it’s strange. You seem unnerved at the idea of someone important to you having a meeting with the president of a rival club. Makes you uneasy seeing her in my lap, right?”

I had no idea who he was talking about…unless.

Fuck.

How could I have been so stupid, of course he was going to find out. Natty had some explaining to do. This was the second time he’d threatened our club on her behalf.

“She was never in any danger. I made sure of it, you have my fucking word, Silas.”

His eyes finally left Laura, and they were wild, unhinged as they attached to me.

“I have your word that the most important person in my entire fucking existence was safe with the wolf, while he went and met with the King of Chaos? Do you even know who they're working with, do you know what his own club is doing to him?”

Silas suddenly lifted Laura, until she was standing on the gravel by the bike. He quickly followed, holding on to her elbow. Her blue-eyed glare finally met mine, and my knees threatened to give out.

Finding my voice, I asked him about Natty. “If she’s so important to you then why is she here? How come she isn’t with you?”

His ghost-like gaze pierced me with a look of absolute abandon. “Why isn’t she wearing your patch?” His gun grazed Laura’s shoulders, lifting the hood of her sweatshirt then letting it plop back down. She had her hair in two braids tonight, tiny curls were framing her face and kissing her skin. Even dressed down in sweats and a hoodie, she made my breath hitch.

All I could picture was her under me, writhing as I slowly fucked her.

“You know she came out here, charging forward with her fists clenched like she owned this entire fucking club. She heard one of the Sweetbutts scream, and suddenly she was trying to step toe to toe with me. She gave zero fucks as to who I was. Even now, she’d be mouthing off like she was earlier except we told her that Mason over there would shoot you in the back the second she opens her pretty little mouth.”

“You’re a coward, Silas. Let her go and come talk to me.” I was close enough now that we were speaking in tones where the rest of the club couldn’t hear us.

“This is a warning, Killian. What belongs to me stays safe under your protection, or I come back for what’s yours. Even if you do decide to eventually claim her, I’ll take her. I will be back for what’s mine. In the meantime, I highly suggest you put a property patch between these delicate shoulders.” He stroked down Laura’s back, and I lunged.
