Four or Dead

Chapter 74

Emma

A knock at the door has my heart racing as my fight or flight instincts kick in. Wyatt stands and opens the door where one of the men offers him a cell phone. I relax a little and offer the man a weak smile which he returns with a small nod of the head

Wyatt says a few words to the guy before closing the door and heading over to join me on the bed again

He holds the phone out to me and I hesitate for a moment before taking it. It feels heavy in my hand as I try to understand why I don't have this urgent need to call the boys. Something's changed in me and it's muddling my thoughts. "°)

I'm not the same girl as the one who planned on getting information for their crew. Zane hurt me and nearly violently raped me. My fears and worst nightmares had been repeated triggering a wave of burning anger in me that is so new. I want revenge. I want to spill blood for what Zane did to me. I want to destroy his world and everyone who saw

who he was and did nothing. \

This anger inside me is burning away the scared little girl I once was..

the girl Asher and guys loved. \*)

Right now all I see is red. I don't want to go back to the way things were. I don't want to be protected and coddled! I want to raise hell and

I know the guys will never let me. They have protected me and hidden the darkness in this city away from me. If I go back to them they'll never let me out of their sights again. They will lock me away and call it protection. I!)

Everyone wants to cage me and I'm done

"What's wrong?" Wyatt asks pulling me back into the room with him

"T missed the guys, of course I have. But these past weeks I was more worried about surviving and it was easier not to hope I would see them again because it hurt too much. Now that I'm free I know what they'll want to do. They'll want to protect me at any cost. They'll either never let me leave their sight or keep me at home with men to protect me night and day. It will just be a prison of a different kind. I don't want that. I'm finally free and on my own for the first time in my life. I don't want to go back to how things were. I'm not the same person I was." I try to explain and he nods

"You're right. Things are different now. You have an army of your own, and you want revenge and I'm guessing a lot more. This is your choice, Emma. You can tell them exactly what you want and if they can't accept it then maybe space and time are needed. As I said, no one knows about this place so this can be your safe haven. A place of your own where you call the shots." He says and I smile. .*)

"Yeah, I call the shots. Well, let's do this then." I glance down at the phone and type in Asher's number
