CHAPTER 10

PENANCE

The exhaustion I’ve been feeling all day as I’ve been investigating Sam’s death is deep. It’s a feeling I don’t think even a week of sleep will chase away. It’s not just Sam’s death either, it’s being so close to everything I want, but knowing it could be taken away from me at any moment.

I need Evelyn in my life. Having her in my arms for one night has made it obvious to me. I’m not sure how I survived being away from her for so long. I’m kicking myself for not approaching her since she moved back. There’s so much wasted time staring back at me when I think of her.

Back then and now.

The sense of peace I woke up with as her soft curves grounded me while reminding me there is hope in this world, is one I need. Then when I came down to the kitchen, I was relieved to find her talking with Lennon and McKenzie. It made my heart happy in a way I didn’t know I could feel.

I’ve felt a sense of accomplishment when I’ve helped those who have been trafficked. It didn’t make me happy, not in the way Evelyn does.

There aren’t enough leads on Sam’s death. None of the cameras caught anything useful. All we have is speculation and a gut feeling. It’s very possible this is related to us working for Volkov. If it is, war will be on our doorstep.

We aren’t going to stop doing the work we’re doing. We can’t. Not after what happened to Monk’s sister.

I only met the man after he lost his sister, not just to traffickers, but to the demons in her head after she was rescued. I can see that those same demons haunt him. The only thing in his life that gives him purpose is saving others from the same fate, and the club.

We could go after anyone from Morozov’s organization that might be left around, but—and this is a big but—what if we’re wrong and it’s not related. None of our guts are evidence, and we have to be smart about our next mood. Even if everything in us wants retribution right now.

I take a deep breath when I climb off my bike and see Evelyn’s car is already in the lot. I’ve checked in with her a few times and enough times with Chains that he was probably getting sick of me, but knowing I’ll be able to put my eyes on her has my feet moving quickly toward the door. I hear her laughter the moment I’m inside.

My eyes snag on her across the common room where she’s sitting on one of the couches with McKenzie, Lennon, Bronco, and a few other brothers hanging out around her. The light catches her blonde hair, but it’s the smile on her face and the laughter in her eyes that makes her luminous.

I stalk in her direction, sending menacing looks at the single brothers who have been drawn to my little feather.
