I can solely nod slowly because it all sinks in. The truth that Stone and I have been all the time going to occur. I put up a great battle and harm Grey within the course of. However it was all for nothing.

“Yeah,” I sigh. “It does.” The query is, am I actually ready to do one thing about it now, or ought to I wait?

“I’ll allow you to sit with that for a minute,” Maggie says and refills my glass , after which hers.

“The place’s Nova? I didn’t scare him away, did I?” Being within the bunkhouse alone is nice, however I’m used to dwelling with Sage, so I all the time have somebody round to speak with when the temper strikes. However now that Sage is staying with Ella Could, Maggie’s invitation to speak got here on the good time.

Maggie’s brows dip, and she or he appears round although he was gone once I arrived hours in the past. “In all probability on the clubhouse, so we’re good at the least for one more hour or two.”

I nod and let my ideas swirl on their very own for a couple of minutes whereas I sip my wine. Stone is my previous. For years, I figured that’s all he would ever be, however now that he’s again, I’ve to face my very own fact. He’s additionally my future, at the least, if I’m courageous sufficient to do one thing about it.

“Do you remorse hooking up with Demon?”

“No. I remorse the way it all performed out, although I do know there wasn’t shit I may do to cease it. By that time, Demon was another person by then. Not the person I grew up with and cherished.” She smiles, and it turns into fun. “Mitch would say that Demon was an essential step on my journey to discovering Nova,” she provides with a roll of her eyes.

“Perhaps I have to e-book a session with Mitch.” Remedy isn’t my jam, although, so I snigger it off simply as Maggie’s cellphone rings.

“Are you able to examine on Freya whereas I take that?”

I nod and go to the little woman who’s simply waking up, scooping her in my arms with a smile that she returns. “Hey, little woman, how ya doing?”

“What?” Maggie’s tone attracts my consideration, and I look over to see how her brows dip with fear. I do know that look. I’ve seen it sufficient through the years on the faces of the Reckless Bastards and their households. Rising up on Hardtail Ranch gave me a wonderful capability to learn folks.

Maggie appears over her shoulder, and our gazes collide.

Shit.

“Okay. I’ll let her know.”

Double shit. “Let me know what?” I ask as quickly as she tucks the cellphone in her again pocket.

The look on Maggie’s face makes my blood run chilly. All of the sudden, regardless of a number of glasses of wine, I’m immediately sober. “That was Nova, and he’s within the Field.” The Field is what all of us name the room stuffed with medical provides the place Annabelle and now Nova repair up the blokes when essential.

“Why?” I set Freya down and fold my arms. “What’s occurring?”

“Grey’s been shot.”

“Shot!” My toes transfer immediately, pacing a brief size whereas my coronary heart kilos in my chest earlier than leaping into my fucking chest. “How dangerous is it? Is he gonna dwell?” I scan the room looking for my footwear. “Did Nova say how dangerous it’s?”

“No. However go.” The sympathy in Maggie’s gaze appears lots like pity, however I don’t have time to consider that proper now.

“I’m going.” I get able to haul ass to see Grey. He’s harm and bleeding, considering I don’t give a shit about him. However I do give a shit. Lots. “Shit.”

I can’t abandon Grey throughout his time of want. He was there for me once I wanted him, and I’ll be right here for him too.

So long as he wants me.

“That look in your face tells me you made up your thoughts, however you’re going to sacrifice your self for…causes?” Maggie shrugs earlier than selecting up her glass and draining it.

“It’s hardly a sacrifice,” I snort. “And it’s not eternally. Only for now.”

Maggie’s face shifts into disapproval. “You’re enjoying with hearth, woman.”

“What do you imply?” It’s not as if I hate Grey. I don’t. I like him.

“He instructed you to make your alternative, so do this.”

“I can’t.” Not now. His household is my household. “I don’t need everybody to hate me.”
