CHAPTER 26

Saxon tossed aside the sheets and climbed out of bed. He pulled on a pair of sweats before stalking out of the room. Walking down the hall, Saxon cheerfully knocked on the doors he passed as he called for a meeting in a loud, singsong voice. It would piss them all off, which only made his smile widen.

When he reached the end of the hall, he turned back, leaned against the stair banister and crossed his arms over his chest while he waited for his friends to emerge. Doors creaked open, and Lucien stuck his head out to heave a boot at him.

“Fuck your meeting!” Lucien snapped as Saxon sidestepped the boot that went soaring over the rail.

“What couldn’t have waited until tonight?” Ronan demanded as he stepped halfway into the hall. Declan emerged from his room, and stretching his back, he yawned loudly.

“Killean called,” Saxon said and was pleased to note they looked as stunned as he’d felt when he first heard Killean’s voice on the other end of the line. “We need to speak with Nathan. I’ll be waiting for all of you in the bar.”

He didn’t wait for a reply before descending the stairs to the foyer below; he had no doubt their curiosity would win over their exhaustion. His steps were soundless on the marble as he made his way across the foyer and into the bar.

Despite the smirk reflecting at him in the glass behind the liquor bottles lining the shelves behind the bar, his hand shook when he lifted a bottle of Scotch, and his hazel eyes were troubled. His dark blond hair, still tousled from sleep, stood up in spikes around his face. He didn’t bother to try to tame it before grabbing a glass.

He’d never expected to speak to Killean again unless it was in a fight, but though his friend hadn’t denied being a Savage, Killean had sounded relatively normal on the phone. There had been tension in his voice, but who wouldn’t be stressed after what he’d gone through? Then why was he so rattled by the conversation?

Was it the fact Killean still sounded so normal when he’d obviously infiltrated Joseph’s inner circle to free his mate? Or was it that Killean had, in a roundabout way, confirmed he’d become a killer and therefore an enemy?

They’d all suspected he’d fallen, of course, Killean had as much as said he planned to become a Savage in the note he left, but Saxon had held out hope that Killean wouldn’t follow through with his plan.

That hope was gone, but now he had bigger questions. Killean had fallen, but was he a Savage, or was he something else? What would he do now? And could he be saved?

That was the biggest question of all, Saxon decided as he swallowed his Scotch. The burning liquor didn’t ease the tumult of emotions battering him.

When Joseph turned Savage, it hadn’t overly surprised him. There was always something about the vamp he hadn’t liked, and that was saying a lot as he wasn’t that discerning when it came to others, especially women.
