Chapter 11

Ellie

If my head wasn’t swirling with the attention of the Clark cousins, all of this would be meaty material for a romance novel. Three hot guys after me? Oh man. Never in my life did I have this problem. Heck, I didn’t even have a high school boyfriend because of how many times we moved.

I grew up in Witsec, government protection, and they shuttled us from one place to another quite a bit. My father, it seemed, had tendrils everywhere. If it wasn’t his club, Satan’s Sons, tracking us down, a one-percenter club looked to cash in on the bounty that my father posted. Mom knew better than to hang out in the biker bars but since the advent of the digital age, it was easy enough to send a text with a picture. Mom was terrified of going out, and I only did because I had to go to school. Between our constant moves, changes in schools and hiding out in the house, I had no friends. I had my books which made things more bearable, but I was miserable most years and impossible my teenage years. We once had to move from a town and a school I really loved because I insisted on going to prom with guy whose father ran the local biker gang. Yeah. Idiot teenager, too much to drink and diarrhea of the mouth earn us our next visit from Witsec and us ghosting that town.

God. How I hated my life.

Mom died, and I left the program and didn’t know the continuing problems living as a Witsec kid generated.

They gave me a passport and a social security number but not a birth certificate. The passport was supposed to cover ID issues. It didn’t. Not always, especially when someone wanted two forms of ID. A lack of continuous school records didn’t impress college admission officers, and I was left to falling to my own devices to earn a living. Thank the Lord for my love of writing, the internet, and online freelance platforms. Now I have a thriving business, a robust client list and a job I can take on the road when I need to.

But with the Clark cousins chasing me, I am not getting my work done. And if I don’t write, I don’t eat. I mean, I literally have about a week’s worth of grocery money on my debit card, and that wouldn’t get me far. I had to put down some serious words to get enough money to get out of here to my next shelter, wherever that would be.

Cole walked into the lodge with his face as grim as could be. With purpose, he walked to the front desk and punched in a number.

“Zain, I have talk with you. Yeah, I think so…No, can’t. Yeah, Ellie is still here. Okay, I’ll do that.”

The phone hit the cradle more solidly than I expected.

“Cole? Is everything okay?”

He poked his head around the corner to peer into the sunken great room of the lodge where I sat.
