ELEVEN

I was halfway through a pint of ice cream when my phone went off and I lunged for it. All my calls and texts to both Mason and Leon had gone unanswered, and I was wallowing like a pro. My roomies had offered to stay in with me like the good friends they were, but I knew they both had plans, so I shooed them out before burying my woes in icy sweet goodness.

My shoulders sagged when I saw a text from Crystal. Scooping another massive mouthful of ice cream into my gob, I opened the message.

Crystal: Hey girl. We ended up at The Hole. Thought you’d want to see this.

The Hole was as charming an establishment as its name suggested. It was dirty, rough, and attracted a dangerous crowd.

I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. The photo had been taken from a distance, but it clearly showed Mason talking to one of the staff, a gym bag slung over his shoulder, and there was no mistaking Leon’s glare from behind the same dude.

What the hell were they thinking? Did they actually call each other up to plan a damn fistfight? Or did one of them follow the other there?

It didn’t really matter how they both came to be at a sketchy underground Variant fight club. Clearly they were planning to beat the living shit out of each other, and no one had bothered to tell me.

I growled and punched my pillow before kicking the blanket off violently. Muttering curses under my breath, I pulled on a pair of ripped jeans and a tank top. My black Valentino ankle boots completed my hastily assembled outfit, and I grabbed a BHI hoodie off the back of my desk chair as I stormed out.

Fuming the entire way, I broke speed limits as I drove to The Hole. Half of me was furious and having fantasies of knocking their heads together in that cage myself. The other half—the Light-fueled, Bonded half—was beside itself with worry. They were mine, and I couldn’t stand the thought of them getting hurt—even if they were the ones doing the hurting.

The fact I cared so much only made me angrier, which made it harder to control the flow of Light I drew into myself, which only made me crave them more, and around and around we went.

Gravel went flying under my tires when I pulled into the dingy parking lot. I hastily parked and marched up to the unassuming door in the squat building.

A tall man with a gut stepped out of the shadows: the bouncer. “You got ID, girly?”

“You got a liquor license, big guy?” I shot back with a smirk. Nothing about this place was legal. “I never get asked for ID when Billy D’s on the door,” I added. The only way into this place your first time was to show up with someone who’d already been. After that, you needed to know a bouncer’s name, be convincing enough that you weren’t a cop, or have a wad of cash at the ready.
