RONAN POINT OF VIEW.
“Speak the hell up, Blair. Where the hell are you right now?”

The line went dead, and I punched the wall in front of me. Fuck.

She’s not fine; I can hear it in her voice. She is far from fine.

That asshole made her cry; he fucking made her cry.

Blair barely shows her emotions; she doesn’t cry. Only a few of us have seen her shed tears. It must have hurt her so much that she cried.

That fucker did this. I’ll make sure to make him cry the same way she’s crying right now whenever I meet him.

I quickly downed the last shot of gin I had in hand, jerked up from the stool, and strolled out to the front of the club.

“What's up, man?” Zipco asked as I stood up. “You leaving already?”

I nodded. “Yes, I’ve got something I need to catch up with…”

I didn’t stop; I kept my eyes on my phone, hoping she would pick up.

“Prez asked we supervise the boys delivering the stuff and cross-check the bucks together,” Zipco reminded me.

“You can do that alone, man. This is important. I need to go right now.”

“I can’t—”

I didn’t let him finish before rushing outside to where my Harley was parked. I rode off immediately, dialing the family butler’s number with one hand. I needed to get to the Nightshade pack tonight.

Moments later, I arrived at the airport, and the plane was ready. I settled in immediately and started dialing her number. I didn’t know where she’d be. Being in the Nightshade pack at this time was a big deal, but I didn’t give a fuck if she was at the Alpha mansion; I’d go in and get my girl.

If a war breaks out tonight, it’s worth it.

Soon, I got to the hotel where Darius had picked her up the last time. I figured she’d be there.

Blair isn’t a regular; she has some crazy self-respect. If she saw her husband screwing his mistress on their matrimonial bed, she wouldn’t sleep there tonight.

After a few minutes, the cab arrived at the hotel, and I quickly got out and paid the driver.

I wasted no time rushing inside. All I needed was a few tips to get her room number and a spare key in case she refused to open the damn door.

Blair is as stubborn as her father, Beta Knowles.

As soon as I reached her door, I used the card and quickly made my way inside. I nearly lost it when I saw my girl sipping alcohol with a straw, three other bottles on the floor.

Seeing her this way made me want to punch that bastard until his jaw broke.

I had never wanted to break someone’s jaw so badly in my life. Seeing her in pain did something to me; it made me want to go on a goddamn warpath.

And it’s not like I couldn’t go to the Alpha house and get that asshole right fucking now, but I didn’t have the time or patience for that. Otherwise, I’d gladly rebook another cab to take me there and break his jaw.

Once I slammed the door shut, she raised her head, and our eyes met.

I’m not good with comfort—never have been. It’s hard to show compassion when you’ve never been shown it yourself.

I walked over to her, took her phone, and then took the bottle from her.

I sat close to her, forcing her head to stay on my shoulder.

I placed a finger under her chin and forced her to look at me as I brushed my thumb over her bottom lip. “It’s fine… I’m here now.”

She stared at me, and that did something to my body I can't just explain in plain words.

Her eyes ignited at once, and she licked the tip of my thumb, forcing my dick to go stiff immediately.

"W-what are you doing?” I asked her.

“Please, Ro. Fuck me.” Words I'd thought would never come out of her lips rolled out, but just at the wrong time.

I shouldn't agree to this right now; she's hurt by that bastard. All she's doing right now is using me to numb the pain. When I was coming here, I didn't have in mind to fuck her. I never planned to; I only hoped that she was fine.

But the thought of those words coming out of Blair's mouth after all these years sent a thrill down my spine. Honestly, I can't fucking help myself.

“P-p-p-l-e-a-s-e.”

I swallowed hard. “Strip! Strip now.”

Her eyes went wide slightly, and I hesitated for a second, wondering if I was too forward and she might just want to change her mind.

But my eyes trailed after her as she rose and started to strip those clothes off her body.

Her blouse dropped to the floor, then the jeans she had on followed, and then her panties and bra went hand in hand. I could see the uncertainty in her eyes, but she didn't stop until she was done.

My throat went paper dry, and I just took in the gorgeous body in front of me.

From those eyes to those hard nipples, and her pink pussy is glaringly welcoming.

As if it has been waiting for me.
