Alex

It was at that moment that I realized why I had been drawn to Shadow in the first place. Subconsciously, I knew he could handle anything that came his way, even my father and that he would protect anyone he cared for. As soon as I told him that I was in trouble, he didn’t hesitate. He didn’t weigh his options or consider the risk before offering to help me. I knew Shadow meant it when he said he would be there to help me fight. I could see it in the way he looked at me, spoke to me, and as much as I wanted to believe that he could, he didn’t know my father, not the way I did. If I tried to stay, it would only be a matter of time before my father would find me, and once he had, he’d come after me. It was inevitable, and if I let Shadow get involved, there was a chance that he could get caught in the crossfire. I couldn’t let that happen. If something happened to him, I would never be able to forgive myself, so whether I liked it or not, leaving town was my only option.

“I can’t let you do that”—I knelt down and picked up one of the boxes, then I tried to get past him—“but just so we’re clear, I’m not just going to give up and accept my fate. I won’t be going back there without a fight.”

As I made my way around him, he asked, “Go back where, Alex?”

“Just leave it, Shadow. It’s none of your concern.”

He reached for my elbow and pulled me towards him as he argued his point. “If you’re involved, then it is my concern.”

“Why? Because you’ve had coffee in my store a couple of times or because we slept together?”

Fire flashed through his eyes as he replied, “You’ve got no fucking idea, do you?”

“How would I know what’s going on in that head of yours, Shadow? You never talk to me. Hell, I don’t even know your real name.”

“Mason. My real name is Mason, and for future reference, if you want to know something, then all you have to do is ask.”

“Well, thanks for the heads up, but it’s too late now.”

“If something is important to you, it’s never too late.”

“What exactly are you proposing here?”

“Come to the clubhouse. Let me and my brothers protect you from the people who are after you.”

“I can’t ask you to do that. It’s not fair to you, and it’s not fair to them.”

“You didn’t ask, Alex.”

His mere presence was all-consuming, and having him so close was making it impossible for me to think. I was trying to come up with a viable reason why I couldn’t accept his offer when one of Shadow’s brothers appeared at the bottom of the steps. He looked up at us and shouted, “Hey, I hate to interrupt this little lover’s quarrel you two have going on, but can I make a suggestion?”

“What?” both of us grumbled simultaneously.
