down to get even, how did they wind up in our clubhouse eating some of our guys?”
Riley, one of the hardest men many of them had ever met, turned away suddenly with one hand over his mouth. The sounds he made as he ran for the bathroom told them that he was about to be sick.
“I’m going to tell all of you this and only this,” Nico said. “Those wolves were turned loose on you by enemies of ours. You’ve heard of the Fallen by now."
Most of the men nodded their heads. Tree, a man with ebony skin and gold teeth that gleamed every time he smiled or spoke, stepped forward. “Are you saying these dudes keep wolves as pets? I mean, I know we got our girls back from their club, but are you saying that pissed them off so much that they set wolves loose to eat two of our dudes?"
“Dick was out there too,” Sammy said. “He got away because he ran like hell and made it back inside the clubhouse before they got him.”
“And where is Dick now?” Nico asked.
“All I saw of him was taillights headed west,” Sammy shrugged.
Cara drew closer to her father. Fear coursed through her body; she could not recall having been so afraid since she was a little girl and she and her mother had been attacked by several rogues in the backyard of their house in the Hollywood Hills.
“Yes, Tree,” Nico said. “That is exactly what I’m telling you. If you want to go, any of you, I understand. You have my blessings. There are other clubs out there and all of them would be happy to have you. This is some deep shit and it is not yours to walk in if you do not wish to.”
Cara wanted to protest. Now, more than ever, they needed these men around them. They needed protection from the Fallen. The magic that they possessed shone like a beacon and these men were the shade that kept it hidden. If they left, the Fallen would be able to see them from miles away.
That cowardice made her ashamed. She was asking others to risk their life to save her and it wasn’t fair. Those who were not true Tribe had no dog in this fight.
“Is wolves the worst they got?” Sammy asked.
“Not by a longshot,” Nico said grimly.
Some of the men looked down at their feet and then around at the men standing beside them.
Then Tree spoke up. “I don’t know about the rest of these bastards, but I didn’t join up with this club to sit around wearing slippers and sipping hot cocoa. It sounds to me like the Fallen are some hardcase motherfuckers. That’s okay with me, but what ain’t okay with me is them sicking overgrown dogs on my guys. I’m hanging. The rest you can run if you want to.”
Tick, so named because his drug habits had left him with a decided tic on the left side of his face, spoke up. “Oh hell, who wants to live forever?”
“I say we go get these mothers and teach them what pain really is,” Sammy said.
“First we have to find them,” Ion jumped in. “They got some kind of hideout that we can’t seem to locate. First things first, we need to break into patrols and start going everywhere they do business. It’s time to start smashing some heads. Someone knows something and we are going to make them talk.”
The non-Kris began to yell and cheer at Ion’s bold words. To her dismay, Cara saw that quite a few of the Kris men who were just as enthusiastic. The few who noticed that Ion had stepped past his leader and made a decision that was not his to make looked angry, but Cara couldn’t tell if they were angry that Ion had taken charge, or if they were angry that Nico had not given the orders first.
Either way there was a storm brewing.
CHAPTER 10
The next afternoon, Cara met Sebastian as she had promised, at the coffee shop where they’d had their first date. He came striding through the door, his long legs tucked into an incredibly sexy pair of jeans. His silver necklace caught the overhead light and sent it back in a winking sparkle. His blond hair was messy and there was a slight jingle from his boots. She
