Luna seems to weigh her options as she holds my gaze. I can tell under the pain and hurt she’s feeling right now there’s a fighter in her. Nodding Luna struggles to her feet.
“Good girl. Now this is what I’m going to need you to do. We’re goin’ to walk out of here, but you have to stay silent and follow my every move. You do everything I tell you to, got it?” I murmur as I take her hand and pull her to the bedroom door.
When the door wouldn’t budge, I realize they changed this room into an actual prison for me, that is if they ever got me back in here.
Fuck. How could I be stupid?
But that’s okay I know another way. They’re not that smart to think to secure the window. There’s a lattice that runs up the side of the house enforced with steel beams to keep it from falling under the weight of the vines that grow up it.
Making my way to the window I find they have nails driven in to keep the window from sliding up. Shaking my head, I pull my rifle case from over my shoulder and open it.
Glancing over my shoulder I notice Luna staring at me in horror. “Back up some okay,” I order her softly.
Picking up my rifle I secure the silencer in place, aiming for the window I pull the trigger. The bullet leaves a small little hole. I can work with this to break the rest of the window without making a lot of noise.
Working as quickly as I can I remove the glass from the window frame and help Luna through the hole. Making sure she doesn’t cut herself I explain to her what to do as she climbs down the vines.
Replacing my gun back in the case I put the strap back over my shoulder and follow her out the window cautious not to scratch my stomach.
Soon as I make it to the bottom, I grab Luna’s hand and dart toward the tree line that would lead me to where Shadow’s waiting. It doesn’t take us as long as I thought it would to get to him. Even in the beaten shape Luna’s in she was able to keep up.
“About damn time you had five more minutes before I was coming after your ass,” Shadow mutters as he helps me get Luna in the car before getting in the driver’s seat.
Following suit, I take the gun case off my shoulder, toss it in the trunk, and get in on the passenger side.
Putting my head back against the headrest, I sigh in exhaustion and close my eyes as Shadow drives.
Thirty minutes later Shadow nudges my shoulder. “Vi come on we’re here,” he says.
“Good,” I mutter before getting out. Stretching I wait for Luna to get out so she can walk in with me.
“Are you sure it’s safe for me here?” she asks apprehensively.
“Yea sweetie you’ll be safe here. No one will hurt you. See that big guy right there,” I say pointing at Shadow who’s standing near the door waiting for us.
“Yes,” she says quietly.
“His name’s Shadow and he’s become one of my best friends. He won’t let anything happen to you, I promise,” I declare.
“Okay,” she murmurs.
As we get to the door, Shadow opens it and lets us walk in ahead of him. I automatically stop at the sight in front of me.
Tears form in my eyes as I take him in.
Tracker.
“You have some explaining to do, Sweetness,” he says and just like that all my emotions come rushing through me.
He’s alive and here with me.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Tracker
At first sight of my woman since I woke up, I knew she was still herself. She was just hiding behind the person she needed to be to survive.
As pissed as I want to be with her for doing all she’s been doing, I can’t hold it against her. And in all honesty, it makes sense and answers a lot of questions about the way she’s acted in the past. Such as how she was able to evade me for a month without me finding her.
Sure, I found her easily after looking her up using my last name, but who thinks of shit like that?
When we’d gotten to Inferno’s Clutch MC, I’d been pissed as fuck and ready to rip into Victoria. I’d wanted to yell at her for not only putting her life in jeopardy but our son’s as well. However, after Chains pulled me aside, he explained how special his sister really is. I might not like the fuck for peddling people, but I could respect him for loving my woman.
Doesn’t mean she and I weren’t going to have words.
We’d just come out of Chains’ office when the door opened and there my woman stood with her arms wrapped around another woman who looked damn near like her twin.
“You have some explaining to do, Sweetness,” I state the moment she notices me standing there.
Shadow immediately takes the woman out of Vi’s care and my woman is running across the room toward me. Chains puts his arm out to stop her from reaching me.
“Easy, baby girl. Remember, he was just shot,” he says gently to her.
“How could I forget?” she cries as she walks the rest of the way to me. Holding my arms open, I wait for Victoria to make it the rest of the way to me before wrapping them around her. Inhaling I can finally breath as I kiss my woman.
“I fuckin’ missed you, woman,” I murmur, pressing another kiss to the side of her head before releasing her.
“I missed you too. Why are you here? When did you wake up? Raven was supposed to tell me the moment you did,” she rambles, turning her head to find Raven shrugging at her.
“I texted Chains. He knew. And he told me to bring the cranky ass to you. By the way, bitch, you owe me for having to put up with Conan over here,” she mutters, pointing at Blaze.
“Woman, I swear to fuck, you call me Conan again, I’ll turn your ass red,” Blaze sneers.
“Oh, shit, this should get interesting,” Breaker, one of the guys I’d been introduced to, chuckles.
“Not now, Breaker,” Chains says calmly before turning his attention to Raven. “Pit is out back.”
“And,” she says, putting her hands on her hips.
“And nothing. Go see your damn brother, woman. Fury is on his way,” he says, dismissing her.
With a huff, Raven leaves, slamming the doors behind her.
“Is she always like that,” Blaze mutters.
“Dude, Raven is always like that. There’s never a dull moment when she’s around,” Breaker chuckles.
“Well, if you all don’t mind, I need to crash,” I grumble as the pain meds Doctor Alverez had given me before the flight started to wear off.
“Come on, you can stay in my room with me,” Vi murmurs.
“Wasn’t plannin’ on stayin’ in any other room,” I say.
“Oh yeah?” She gives me a small smile.
“Yeah, Sweetness. You know, I’m still gonna spank the shit out of you for this stunt,” I grin.
“Fucker, that’s my little sister. Don’t say shit like that in front of me,” Chains grumbles.
“Pot meet kettle. You’re the one that was about to get his dick sucked when I got here,” Vi says sarcastically.
“Whatever. Take Tracker here and go rest. Maybe now you’ll sleep well,” he mutters, and I furrow my brows as I glance down at my woman in my arms.
“You haven’t been sleeping?” Vi glances away at my question.
