Minutes tick by, and I’m eating myself up inside. I managed to keep my cool when she mentioned that shit about her parents. Then I kept my distance while she showered and again when she was watching the feed of the camera showing Linc and her sister.

Of course, Harper didn’t recognize the people in the picture Linc showed her. I saw the hurt in Peyton’s eyes and the haunting look sliding in right after. All of it is eating away at her.

Like I said, minutes are ticking by as I watch over her—sleeping in my bed—and take over the worry that was pulling at her. My phone indicates I have an incoming message. Pulling it out of my pocket, I notice it’s Alaric requesting a meeting. Knowing Peyton is fast asleep, I let my president know I’ll be right there. Softly closing the door behind me, I find my way into church where Alaric is sitting along with Linc.

“Sit,” Alaric says as he leans back in his chair. “I’ve asked Linc to be here too because he’s responsible for Apple.”

The corner of my mouth twitches. “We’re sticking with Apple? Even when we now know her name is Harper?”

“It’s Apple unless she wants to be called something else,” Linc snaps.

I saw it. She intentionally acted as if she didn’t know shit. As if she’s deliberately pushing away that part of her life.”

I give Linc a nod. “Sounds to me like Apple is protecting herself. Hiding bad memories and everything connected to it to save herself from the pain that comes along with it. You saw the scars that tell a gruesome story all by themselves. Just the mere thought of what she went through is enough to make chills run up and down my fucking back. Who knows what other scars are branded into her brain along with it.”

“That’s why I don’t want them anywhere near her,” Linc says, or rather demands.

I decide to ignore his words and slide into another conversation, one I don’t mind Linc sitting in on. Even if the fucker is a prospect, he’s been with us for a long damn time and has earned his place fair and square. The only reason he’s not a full member yet is because Linc said he wanted to wait till he was twenty-one. The
