Chapter Sixteen

MYTH

I pulled her out of the room while my brothers fought to control the situation.

The asshole in the black mask was gone, fucking missing in the chaos.

Turned out Jester wasn’t bluffing, and I was now acutely aware of how devious the fucker was and the dirty lengths he would go to not to lose another fight. Unfortunately, to add to the fucking circus, because this bastard made his show in front of hundreds of fucking people, we’d had to call the cops.

If we’d actually find the guy who attacked Brooklyn, I wasn’t so sure.

But in this whole fucked-up situation, he wasn’t the biggest concern at that moment.

Laken had just made a fucking entrance and drawn a shit load of attention—attention I was starting to realize wasn’t just bad for the club.

It was bad for her too.

Because I now knew exactly who she was and why the last week or so I hadn’t been able to stop the feeling in my gut that told me I knew her.

Repo, Shotgun, and Ripley followed closely behind us as we made our way out the front of the nightclub area and into the gentlemen’s bar next door. This part of the club wasn’t open as we were still finalizing staff and supplies.

I slammed my palm against the swinging doors, throwing them open with force, the loud bang of them hitting the walls and rattling the shelved bottles behind the bar.

“Watch it,” Dakota warned from her place behind the bar, shooting me a hard glare.

“The fuck just happened?” Rip demanded.

“I found Jester at my meeting with Connor Lint,” I tried to explain while attempting to wipe some of the dried blood from my face. “Lint was dead. Jester was waiting. We fought. I got the upper hand, then he conveniently let me know if he didn’t walk out, he had someone on Brook.”

“You let him walk?”

I clenched my teeth, trying to cool my anger. “Yeah.”

“Then why the fuck did that guy still come for her?” Repo snarled, twisting his hands. “I told you, we can’t trust this bastard. You get in the ring with him, he’s gonna play dirty.”

Laken pulled away from my side, my attention instantly following her as she braced her hands on the nearest table, her head hanging between them. She was fighting to catch her breath and struggling bad, though as far as I knew, she hadn’t actually been hurt apart from the fall.

I placed my hand on her back. “Breathe.”

Each breath was short and sharp like there was something stuck, and she couldn’t quite get past it.

“Laken, you’re okay,” I tried again, my hand rubbing up and down her spine as I leaned down into her space, my other hand reaching up and pressing the hair back from her face.

Her eyes were open.

But they were just staring, her pupils flicking back and forth as though she was watching some movie no one else could see.

“Dakota,” I called as I cradled Laken’s face, my thumb caressing softly over the ball of her cheek.
