Tossing and turning because I’d hardly gotten any sleep, I was startled when Kena threw open my bedroom door and barged in. Her long dark hair was piled high on top of her head, sticking out in all different directions and making her look like a crazy person.

“My God, woman. You scared me,” I cried out, clutching my chest while being careful of my sore wrist. With everything that’d happened, I knew it could’ve been worse. Never having seen Ryder in such a way truly scared me, but I’d been more worried than frightened. I’d witnessed him drunk before but never violent. His eyes had never been vacant, and I’d never seen him so . . . lost.

Someone is here to see you. He looks pretty desperate, so go easy on him. Kena knew I would shoot first, then ask questions later, so she was right to give me her warning. What she didn’t realize was that I wasn’t angry with Ryder. All of my thoughts were consumed by what had happened to him. Jagger mentioned the guys cuffing him to his bed. Had he fought against the restraint and hurt himself?

My whirlwind thoughts flipped from being worried about the man to realizing that he softened me, so to speak. My temper still existed, my protective side over those I loved still fueling my mouth when need be, but I knew I was changing. Whether or not I embraced it was another story.

Flinging off the covers, I didn’t even have my feet planted on the carpet before Ryder strode into my room. The sight of him made me feel helpless all over again, his flesh torn apart in places and bruised from fighting with his friends, and from whatever happened that had driven him to lose himself to the evils of the amber liquid he poured down his throat.

“What are you doing here?” Surprised he was even standing in front of me, especially after Jagger had indicated that Ryder would probably not want to see me anytime soon due to guilt, I leaned back on the bed, as if the small amount of distance would save me from a plethora of questions and emotions.

He didn’t utter a word as he stalked toward me, reaching me with a few long strides. His hand shot out and wrapped around my waist, hoisting me off the bed and into his arms before I could say anything else. Kena closed the door behind her as she left to give us some privacy.

“Jagger told me what happened to you. I’m so sorry, Bray. Please forgive me.”

The warmth from his body relaxed me, the all-too-familiar scent of him enveloping me until all I wanted to do was exist in his embrace. But I knew we had to have a serious talk, so I prepared myself to be strong enough to accept whatever he chose to reveal.

Pulling back so he could see my face, he said, “I would never intentionally hurt you, you know that, right?” He feared I viewed him as a violent man.
