​She fell into my arms, unconscious. I had concealed the mild sedative I injected her with through my bite. Carrying her gently, I was cautious, ensuring my bloodied hands did not touch her silky skin. She needed to hear me out, to understand that I hadn't betrayed her.

So, yeah, the methods I used weren't your typical run-of-the-mill persuasion. I never claimed to be a saint. Hell, I did things that would make most folks cringe. It's a part of me I can't deny. But I couldn't let her walk away.

I'd done my share of messed-up things, no doubt about it. But you want to know the most unholy shit in my book? Making her cry, touching anyone but her, and not treating her like the queen she is. In those aspects, call me whatever you want, but I wasn't a sinner.

I hauled her into the car, adjusting the front seat to lay her down as comfortable as possible. She looked peaceful, and it was distracting me from focusing on the road. My hand twitched, wanting to rest on her thigh, but I held back. I didn’t want to smear her with that guy's blood any more than necessary.

My thoughts took a dark turn as images of him touching her, kissing her, invaded my mind. Every fiber of my being was on the brink of exploding as I waited for them to step out of that damn bowling place. I wasn’t stupid; I couldn't just go berserk on him in front of everyone.

I moved like a shadow, but that guy still got a taste of what was rightfully mine. The mere thought of him kissing her made my hands clench on the steering wheel so hard it almost cracked. I forced them to relax, reminding myself of the bigger picture. He would never get to touch her again.

As much as I despised him for snagging Luna's attention, I couldn't leave him for dead. Yeah, it'd be satisfying as hell, but I cared too damn much about Luna to let her shoulder the blame for his death. And I sure as hell didn't want his demise haunting her thoughts.

Grabbing my phone, I dialed one of my men, the one I had discreetly tailing me since I set foot in this town. I gave him the location and ordered him to get Simon to one of our doctors. The guy was in bad shape, but he'd live – whether he deserved it or not. It wasn't about mercy; it was about keeping Luna's hands clean and making sure that guy stayed alive so that she wouldn’t think about him too much.

When we arrived, I parked the car by the cabin in the middle of nowhere. It was deep in the forest and very secluded, just how I liked it. A place where we could sort our crap out. I rented it once
