Chapter 13

EMMIE

“Emmie, over here!” Ava hollered over the noise.

Loud rock music and the deep rumble of conversation and laughter rent the air as I wound my way through the Royal Bloods’ headquarters just outside the small town of Bishop, Colorado.

It was like coming home, with so many similarities between our two clubs—and yet there were many differences too.

The Royal Bloods MC was only a decade old, with Ruston founding it following his tour in the SEALs. Many of its members were former military and had served together overseas. A fact I assumed only deepened the brotherhood of the club.

The compound itself was fittingly a former military base with the main building serving as headquarters. Smaller converted barracks skirted the property, serving as housing for many of the club members. One such building, Ruston had graciously put Gunner and me up in for the night.

Gunner had been pulled into club business the moment we’d arrived, and the girls had been keeping me company ever since.

“Come on, girl, let’s get you a drink,” Dallas hollered over the music, gesturing toward the bar.

I nodded, taking her hand and letting her lead me through the crowd.

We found Lanie and Ava, who was outfitted in her cast and sling, sitting on couches toward the back of the room.

The clear comradery between the women associated with the club had me feeling a pang of homesickness, missing my own loyal tribe.

I was sipping my beer and listening to Dallas talking about her wedding that had taken place a few months ago when the unmistakable boom of gunfire exploded through the air.

I didn’t have a moment to react before I was being pulled off the couch and thrown to the ground, a large, familiar body shielding me from above.

“Stay down,” Gunner ordered in my ear as he covered me, his muscular body on top of mine, his hands covering the top of my head.

A peek to the side showed Tank doing the same with Dallas, and Ava and Lanie huddled close.

Even in my terrified state, I felt a sense of calm wash over me knowing he was there, that somehow no matter what was happening, he’d keep me safe.

It felt like forever but was more likely only a few minutes before Ruston was hollering orders.

“Clear! Cason, Damon, get ready to ride out.”

At his order, Gunner rose, offering a hand to help me stand as Ruston drew close.

“What have we got?” Gunner demanded, keeping me pinned to his side, his arm wrapped around me.

Ruston ’s nostrils flared, his body practically vibrating. “Don’t know yet—we’ve had some trouble with a street bike gang outside of Denver. That’s my best guess. I want a patrol of the area.”

“I can ride out with you.” Gunner spoke up as I fought the urge to protest. “Even if we can’t find those assholes, if I can get any clues, I can track their asses,” he swore with a confidence intrinsic to who he was. And rightfully so. Gunner could find anything or anyone.

“All right,” Ruston agreed, turning eyes to Tank.
