She nodded, pink-cheeked.

This lady.

“No, it wouldn’t fucking hassle me. Christ, child, I don’t give two shits a couple of scar. Hell, you may have 1,000,000 scars in your face, and I’d love you simply the identical. Such as you stated, it’s badass.”

A smile unfold throughout her face Lock couldn’t resist kissing.

“Ahem.”

Brenna drew again, red-faced once more. “Sorry, Pulse.”

“I’m not,” Lock stated. He kissed the again of Brenna’s hand. “End up so we are able to do extra of that.”

“You’re all fucking coupled up,” Pulse muttered, shaking his head.

“Aww, don’t be jealous, brother.” He winked at Brenna simply to see her face flip pink. The very first thing they’d completed, even earlier than Pulse got here in to verify her out, was give her one thing to put on that wasn’t a child-like gown. As quickly because the offending garment got here off, she shuddered in reduction. Then he’d wiped the blood off her face. Now clear, she appeared significantly better, aside from the whopper of a gash close to her eye.

And the bruises.

She bore a major variety of facial bruises. Hell, she had bruises throughout her rattling physique.

“Let me get critical for one minute,” Pulse stated. He leaned in and gave Brenna a grave look. “I can care for your accidents right here. That’s nice. But when there’s extra, it is advisable go to the hospital?”

“Extra?” Brenna frowned.

“I’ll be blunt. If you happen to want a rape package, it is advisable go to the hospital.”

“Oh.” Her heavy sigh punched Lock within the chest. “No. It was shut, however Lock obtained there in time,” she whispered, eyes glassy.

“Okay, good.” Pulse rose to his ft.

“However Kelsie…”

Their membership’s nurse nodded. “I assumed as a lot by her response to males. Harper and Jo are in along with her now in addition to Ty.” He grinned and shook his head. “That motherfucker received’t depart her facet, and he’s the one man she permits inside 5 ft of her.”

With Jo’s background in legislation enforcement and with Harper’s profession as a social employee, they’d be your best option to assist the lady. Her response to Ty was attention-grabbing, to say the least, however Brenna wouldn’t query it. Whoever made Kelsie really feel protected was nice by her.

“I need to see her.” Brenna winced and gasped as she tried to sit down.

“Nuh-uh.” With a mild hand, Lock guided her again down. “The ol’ girls will take excellent care of her. Ty will too. I promise you.”

Huffing, Brenna sagged again in opposition to the mattress. “High-quality.”

Thank fuck.

He’d have sat on her if it got here to that, however she will need to have sensed how near the sting he was.

“I’m going to go verify on Kelsie,” Pulse introduced. “If she’ll let me verify her over, I’ll. If not, I’ll have Harper and Jo take her to the hospital.”

“Ensure—”

“They’ll,” Pulse stated. “They know to verify she is simply handled by feminine suppliers. Bear in mind, Bren, that is what they need to do. These are the ladies they’re making a shelter for.”

“Thanks, brother.” Lock pulled Pulse in for a fast hug. Of all of the Handlers, he was the one who stored to himself essentially the most. After they first fashioned this chapter of the membership, he’d puzzled if Pulse would even be part of. For some time, he’d assumed he wouldn’t, however he’d shocked all of them by committing.

As quickly as Pulse left the bunkroom, Brenna patted the sting of the bunk. He strode over and sat, bracing a hand on both facet of her physique. Then he simply stared at her. Each bruise, each minimize, each mark pierced his soul and ignited a rage he didn’t know easy methods to take care of. When his twin sister died, he’d spiraled down a protracted, darkish tunnel of grief he had solely lately damaged freed from. If Brenna had been taken, that tunnel would by no means finish.

Jinx and Spec have been caring for the lads who’d participated within the auctions, deliberate them, and the person who’d laid his arms on Brenna. Lock wasn’t a violent man by nature. Often, he’d be blissful to let the membership’s enforcer deal with the grotesque particulars of coping with their enemies. However tonight, he puzzled if he’d be happy not getting his arms bloody.
