open the doors again and listening as the glass shattered as the doors buckled on their hinges.
She reached down and grabbed Faraji who was still trying to assess the damage to his face. She wanted to say something witty at this point, something cool that would be impressive to everyone who heard this. She wanted it to be infamous and legendary, something other Shifters would spread like wildfire, but she came up empty. She couldn’t think of a thing to say to him.
So, instead, she hurled him over the balcony and watched as Faraji twisted and writhed in the air, spiraling and plummeting downward. There were going to be people who talked about this, who whispered behind closed doors about the time that Josie hurled a member of the Hyena clan from a balcony on the penthouse floor and how he fell twenty-three stories to the ground.
She watched as he hurled toward the pool and with a loud splash, Faraji impacted with the water, getting a belly flop that he would never forget and sinking straight to the bottom. She watched the people scatter and knew it wouldn’t be long before Wahir or the others showed up to investigate what happened.
Turning, she watched as Kheem slowly tried to push himself up and get back onto his feet. She didn’t know if there were more Hyenas waiting in the wings, hoping they would be able to ambush them if they tried to escape out into the hallway.
There was something deep down inside of Josie’s stomach that told her she should just stay put and that the smart thing to do would be just to wait for someone to come for them. If it was the security in the resort, then word would get to Wahir and they would come help clean up whatever mess had been made.
They would come and deal with the situation before there were any more questions or concerns that were leaked. She looked at Kheem and rushed to help him up. Any moment however, the door might fly open and it could be the Hyenas that were coming for her.
The only thing Josie could think of right now, was the fact that the Hyenas had risked war to get Ony. They had done something that was forbidden among the Shifters. The fact that they had violently tried to take Ony from Josie or to force her into giving them her child meant that they were willing to stop at nothing to get what they wanted. Josie had a horrific feeling deep down inside of her that told her they were probably willing to do more than that if they had the chance. She looked at Kheem as she sat him down on the bed, wanting to kiss his face and take all of his pain away.
“You’re a sight for sore eyes,” he said with a smile slicing through the pain that he was feeling. She wanted to laugh, but it was too hard to look at him and laugh at the same time. He was in agony from the fight that Faraji had put him through. “I got a note from you and I came up to meet with you, to tell you that this was too dangerous of a game to play.
When I came into the penthouse, he smashed the bottle over my head and started to beat the crap out of me, asking where you were and if Ony was my child. I refused to tell him anything and pretended like I didn’t know anything. He would have killed me if you hadn’t shown up when you did.”
“Did you tell him anything?” Josie asked. The answer didn’t matter to her as much as the truth of it.
He looked at her with serious eyes. “Would I ever give you up? Would I ever give up my child?” He shook his head. “No, I didn’t tell him anything. If he survived that, the Hyenas are going to be short one man and that’s all.”
Josie wrapped her arms around him and hugged him, forgetting he’d just been brutally and violently beat just moments before. She loved Kheem and knew that there was nothing she had to worry as long as he was out there fighting with her. He was the only ally she needed.
But the truth was a little stickier than that. The peace had been shattered and the truce was up in flames. If word of this got back to the
