Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

As soon as Derek left Dan's room, word of it somehow made its way right to Hull.

When Silas passed the details he'd dug up over to Hull, Hull just snorted and grinned. "Told you so. Dan's the current head honcho of the Black Gate. Knew it."

They'd all suspected it for a while, just never had real proof. Now, it was pretty much settled-Dan was Black Gate Derek's son.

Still, nobody could say what exactly went down with Black Gate all those years ago. The whole thing was a mess-too many secrets, too many missing pieces. Susanna, hearing Hull's certainty, went pale.

Hull caught her expression and frowned. "What's with the long face?"

Susanna shot him a desperate look. "Star promised Yvonne would help me train for a month. I need her help!"

She really hated to admit her ties to the Murray family men, but blood is blood— you can't change that.

And now Dan, that jerk, had treated Yvonne like garbage.

Susanna genuinely worried Yvonne would take it all out on her.

Hull, catching on, blinked. "You're training with Yvonne? You sure about that?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."
