Chapter Eight

Amia was seething with anger next to him as Reno drove the last leg toward home. He’d awoken early with her wrapped around him, whimpering and begging to be let out. He’d whispered and soothed her, promising he would get her out. She’d moaned about the dark, about being confined, and he’d almost roared as the possibilities rocked through him.

When they’d been confronted in the woods outside Blane Farm, she’d been taunted with missing the chamber. She’d never spoken of it, but he was forming his own opinions with every new nightmare he awoke to find her trapped in. It only made him want to rip them apart more. He wanted to kill with a ferocity that should scare him.

She hadn’t remembered the nightmare when she’d woken a short time later. Instead, she’d launched back into all the reasons why he had to let her go. His refusal was what had led to this—a long drive interspersed with her either begging him to let her go or threatening that she would be the reason he died, the reason everyone he loved died. In between? Total fucking silence, the uncomfortable, I’m-angry-as-fuck kind of silence. And the more he refused her, the angrier she became, to the point her body practically vibrated with it.

He was more than ready to take the turn onto the shallow dirt path that would lead to the trail he’d first taken a few months ago. Still hard to believe how much his life had changed over the last few months. He wasn’t even surprised to see Logan waiting for him.

Amia stayed silent in the Jeep as he stepped out and embraced his buddy with a hard hug. He could still picture Logan after he’d taken a bullet that could have killed him. He’d thanked God every day Logan was still with them.

“Hey,” he greeted. “Everything good?”

Logan nodded with a grin. “Good to see you.” His glance flicked over to the Jeep and Amia before meeting Reno’s once more. “You okay?”

Reno nodded but rubbed his hand over the back of his neck wearily. It felt as if his skin itched. Tension held his body taut. He felt as if he were on the brink of something but had no idea what. His beast was a vital force inside him now, no longer content to sit and watch. He could feel it pressing for dominance, especially when it came to Amia.

“I’m good. Tired. Long trip.”

“I can tell,” Logan said, glancing at Amia again and grinning.

Reno couldn’t have stopped the growl if he’d wanted to.

Logan just lifted an eyebrow, and that grin turned into a full-blown smile, followed by a chuckle. “So that’s how it is?”

“She’s a Blane,” Reno uttered just as Amia pushed the door open to join them.

He saw the hurt in her eyes and clenched his teeth to hold in the apology. She was the one who kept reminding him she wasn’t with him by choice. And he’d heard her throw her name up more times than he could count over the last few hours.
