yet. Apart from Brandon.
“Lauren, what’s the matter? We can help you, whatever it is.” He assures me, but he doesn’t realize that not only can he not protect me from my fears, but I won’t accept it. I could put them all and their children in danger. I couldn’t live with myself.
A stranger barges into me and I can’t help it, I scream and hold my hand to my chest. My heart feels like it’s going to rip out from my skin. I spin and look at everyone passing, trying to see if any one of them belongs to the Devil Spawn.
“Lauren?” Rhys asks and breaks through my panic.
“I can’t,” I cry. “I really have to go. I can’t drag you into this.”
I back away from them some more, fuck I really need to get out of here.
“Into what?” Max asks.
“I have to go!” I shout and run out of the hotel.
Luckily Brandon is right outside, so I run straight to the car and jump in.
“Lauren?” He asks.
“Go!” I scream. “Go now!”
Brandon quickly pulls away, tires squealing loudly, and other members from the American Kings of Rebellion charter follow on their bikes.
“You ok?” Brandon asks me as we race away.
“It’s fine.” I answer, not wanting to say anymore.
Chapter 28
After the talk with Max, I’m left feeling a little down. There was a lot of tears and emotion, but at least I got to talk to my sister. I knew she wouldn’t forgive me, and she said as much but at least I got to hear her voice and let her know I’m gradually becoming the sister she should have always had. Even if I had to go through shit to get this far, I’m glad Maisy benefits and maybe myself too.
“You get to talk with your sister?” Brace asks from behind me.
“Sure did.” I smile.
When we walk into the clubhouse, I freeze when I see my suitcases by the sofa. The last time I saw those I was taken away and now here they are. I slowly make my way over and Savage quickly appears out of nowhere.
“We got you extras.” He motions down to the three bags.
“What are they?” I ask.
“I thought you might like your own shit.” He answers.
I look through them and grin so freaking wide when I see all my beauty supplies. My make-up bag, filled with all my favourites, plus all the extras that have been thrown in also. My hair brushes, perfumes, along with my shampoos and conditioners. I can’t believe he thought to get all of these for me.
“Thank you!” I scream. I feel like it’s Christmas day. “I can’t believe you got these.”
I can feel a lump in my throat and tell myself off for it. It’s only beauty supplies, get a grip!
“Saw them littered everywhere and thought you might miss them.” Savage shrugs off my thank you.
“Yeah, I bet you did.” Sneers Brandon. “Well done, Savage.”
I look up from my goody bags to see Brandon and Savage glaring at each other. A sudden overwhelming testosterone fight silently battles and I decide to get out of here. I grab as many bags as I can but Savage puts a stop to that.
“Don’t worry about that babe, my men will help you.” He motions for his men to get over here but Brandon steps closer to me.
“I think I got it.” He takes my suitcase, with Choke and Brace taking the bags from my hands and around my feet.
“Just keep quiet and follow us.” Whispers Choke as he empties my hands.
I look between an angry looking Savage and a retreating Brandon, confused by this whole exchange and decide to take Choke’s advice and follow them.
“Enjoy.” Savage smiles at me as I go and all I can give him back is a small smile.
When we get to my room, I watch with my arms folded over my chest as they place my bags around my designated room.
Choke and Brace decide to get out as soon as they can. If I wasn’t so confused, I would think it was comical but the more I watch Brandon frown, the angrier I get.
“What the fuck was that?” I finally ask him.
“What?” He asks, but I know he knows what I’m talking about.
“Don’t act dumb, Brandon.” I glare.
He loudly sighs. “He’s trying to piss me off.”
“Why would he do that?” I ask and Brandon stares at me, not saying anything. “Well?”
“I just know him better than you do.” He storms out of the room, leaving me with the
