Looking around at my brothers sitting around the hat, I can feel their disappointment. They wanted Draven to stay and although I acted like I was never going to let that happen – I wanted it too. But now, with Marcus death and the

which he was killed, we all understand it will be safer for her if she Innti.

“This is bullshit,” koda hisses.

Okay, maybe not all.

“What about Emily?” Quinn asks and my eyes go straight for him. “She’s homeless.”

“Whatever she does is what she does,” I say. “She’s in no danger that Em are of any of you wants to provide her with a

Koda’s sharp chuckle cuts me off. “I don’t think so.” He shakes his head. “She and Draven he become quick friends. I’m pretty sure where Draven goes, she will

“You don’t know that, sigh. “But it doesn’t matter either. In fact it might be better she does.”

koda smirks, but says nothing, Crossing his arms over his chest, he glares at the four broodingly.

“Wait a minute,” Grant hisses. “So we’ve decided jest to trust them now? Since when did we start leaning on them?”

“Yeah,” Logan chimes in. “What happened to no allies‘?”

I grit my teeth sighing heavily as Paul, who has been uncharacteristically silent for the past two hours, finally jumps in. The entire Blackjack Pride put their lives on the line to help us take care of the threat that followed Draven here from Miami.

And I say they can be trusted.” Then, as four lion shimmers enter the bar, I add. The fact is we need their support.”

“And we’re happy to give it, Gayle says, sauntering in with a sway of her hips. Goose Tardora, and Gryffin follow close behind her. Each of them standing as a united front against the back wall.

“How are you doing?” I ask, my eyes going to Gryttin questioningly. “Any change?”

He shakes his lyrail, his eyes fired. “No.”

I nod, “I think I may have a theory on that,”
