Chapter Fourteen

Amy

As Colt held me, the words started to flood out of me. At a certain point, I had to tear myself away from him. His hands seemed to sear my skin. I wanted him. I wanted all of him. Over and over again like the other night. But he had to know. When I told him all of it, I knew he would leave forever. He’d have no choice. He was a Great Wolf. There was a code, and he’d violated it, no matter what kind of monster wore the president’s patch.

“He reminded me of my dad,” I said. “I think that’s what drew me to him at first. It wasn’t until much later that I realized the similarities were all superficial. But, at the time, I was just looking for some connection to what I’d lost. I was in deep grief after my father died. We’d just started getting to know each other again. My mom kept me away from him for a long time. It wasn’t until after she moved out to Alaska with her new husband when I was in my twenties that I decided to have him in my life again. We lost so much time. God, Colt. His death was hard. Cancer ate him from the inside out, and there was no one there to be with him but me. The club and me.”

“I understand,” he said.

“And it was good in the beginning. Being around Roy and the club felt easy and familiar. Like I’d get to keep part of Dad with me forever.”

Colt sat next to me on the couch. He kept a firm hand on my knee while I talked. He was bracing himself, I knew. The muscles of his jaw clenched, and he swallowed hard. A tiny vein throbbed in his temple.

“But then it went bad. Little things at first. Roy called me constantly. Wanted to know where I was, who I was talking to. He showed up at the school all the time. Once, my car wouldn’t start and one of the gym teachers, a sweet guy named Larry Barth, drove me home. Roy was waiting for me here. He flew into a rage. It got worse after that, little by little. He had me followed by Tommy and some of the other guys. He told them he thought I was cheating on him. They believed him.”

“He laid hands on you,” Colt’s face turned to stone. It was a question and a statement. My heart hammered in my chest.

I took another breath. “I finally couldn’t take it anymore. I was trying to focus on finishing my master’s degree in Special Education. He didn’t support that either. It threatened him. Everything threatened him. He thought I’d clear out of Lincolnshire once I finished. I thought about it. I had a few job offers. But I have roots here. Those kids at the middle school mean everything to me. So, finally, I told him I’d had enough. I thought maybe if I kind of cooled things with him slowly, I could make a clean getaway.
