Chapter Twelve

Wrath paced Cara’s living room, picking up the television remote, then setting it down. She was half an hour late, and for a woman who prided herself on punctuality, that was thirty minutes too long.

He’d phoned her twice, leaving a message each time. Ghost had suggested putting trackers on her motorcycle, truck, and phone, but he’d hesitated. Two days had passed since he’d read the report. The same amount of time since he’d seen her. They’d spoken a few times, and he knew she’d stayed busy with her law practice and teaching. Damn if he didn’t miss her.

After the attack on the clubhouse, he had to stay close, take steps to protect them from further assault. Raider had continued his work, collecting as much information as possible on the Night Devils.

The screeching of tires had him charging outside. The instant Cara stepped to the ground, he knew something was wrong. Gently gripping her shoulders, he scanned her face, seeing the broken skin of her mouth.

“What the hell happened?”

Tears built in her eyes, bottom lip trembling. Drawing her into his arms, he stroked her hair.

“Can we go inside?”

“Of course, sweetheart.” Glancing around, he saw nothing to indicate a threat. “Give me your keys.” Grabbing her purse, he locked the truck before slipping an arm around her. “Come on.”

Inside, he settled her on the sofa, getting a warm rag to clean her face. He made her a cup of tea, sitting down next to her.

“Tell me what happened.”

Over the course of the next few minutes, Cara explained, stopping several times. She made sure he knew the police knew nothing about what the men wanted. It bothered her she hadn’t been honest with them, but her senses warned her to keep quiet. When finished, her brows scrunched in confusion.

“Who were those men?”

Standing, Wrath paced away, deciding how best to describe what he thought. “Our club and another are having some conflicts. I don’t know the reasons, but they came after us a few days ago. That’s the main reason I couldn’t see you the last two days.”

“Do you think they’re the same men who attacked me?”

Rubbing his face with both hands, he shook his head. “I honestly don’t know, but it makes sense.”

The sound of motorcycles had him rushing to the window to look outside. Three bikes slowed as they passed her house. He couldn’t see clearly, but knew in his gut they were the same men who’d gone after Cara, and probably the same ones who attacked the clubhouse.

“What is it?” She stood next to him at the window.

He looked at her, not answering the question. “Pack enough clothes for a few days. You’re coming with me.”

Her eyes widened, voice raising. “I can’t leave.”

“You’re not leaving Liberty Lake. We’re going to my house where you’ll be safe. They already know this is where you live. You can’t stay here.”

She knew he was right, but staying at his place didn’t seem like a good idea. Unfortunately, Cara had nowhere else to go.

“I’ll need a few minutes.
