RAVEN

I don’t want to accept the phone or the case, but Jax is looking at me in a way that makes it difficult to say no. So, le sigh, I’m going to take the phone and case for now, but one day, I will pay him back.

Jax is holding my hand. He seems a bit raveled, like he’s stressed out. He was the last time I saw him, and I’m not positive why. I worry, though, that it has to do with him and Hunter. I think I may be causing problems, like Zay has implied several times. Maybe I should just go back to my aunt and uncle’s house …

Yeah, that thought kind of crumbles when Hunter informs us of something he discovered on the security cameras at their house.

“That’s your dad?” I ask as I squint at the computer screen.

I’m sitting on the sofa between Jax and Hunter. Both of them are sitting close enough that their legs are pressed against mine. And like I said earlier, Jax is holding my hand. Their body heat and the scent of their cologne is wrapped around me like a warm blanket.

“It is.” Hunter’s voice is tight, conveying his disdain for the scene happening on the computer screen. “I’m not sure why he’s there, and the audio isn’t picking up.”

“You said Zay’s there, though.” Jax leans forward, scratching his chin with his free hand. “Did you try to text him after you talked to him to see if you can get any more details?”

“I did, but he never replied.” Hunter restlessly bounces his knee up and down, the chain dangling from his beltloop jingling. “I’m not surprised. You know how he can get.”

“Or maybe he can’t reply.” The words just sort of leave my lips.

Hunter’s expression sinks. “Shit, I didn’t even think about that.” He looks at Jax. “Should one of us go check on him?”

“Do you know how risky that’d be?” Jax replies with his brow elevated. “Especially with your dad there.”

“True.” Hunter mulls this over with a frown. “We’ll give him a bit, and then if we haven’t heard anything, one of us should go check on him. We’ll just have to be careful.”

“I can go,” I offer. “It’s where I live, so it wouldn’t be too crazy if I just showed up.”

“No way,” Jax says at the same time Hunter shakes his head.

“Why not?” I’m a little annoyed over the fact that they’re telling me what I can and can’t do.

“Because it’s dangerous.” Panic flashes in his eyes, and he looks like he’s veering toward some sort of dangerous ledge.

Hunter remains a bit calmer. “I know we’re coming off intense, baby, but trust me; you don’t want to be near my father.” The muscle in his jaw ticks. “He always has some ulterior motive to everything he does, and that motive is bad.” He blinks at me. “So, it’s better to stay away from him and off his radar.”

“But aren’t I already on his radar?” I point out. “He has you guys looking into my family.
