Ranger's Fury - E.C. Land Page 0,7

this shit so quit your bitchin’, breathe and let your hoo-ha do what it’s supposed to. You’ll be pushing that kid out soon enough. Now how about I go ahead and check you? See where you are,” I suggest, more than ready to get this show on the road so I can get away from everyone.

I have a job to do and as much as I love my family, I’m no one who feels what they do. It’s why I’m called the Harpy. Fury fuels my blood and I’ll never have what Tinsley is getting. What Victoria and Raven already have.

And I’m okay with that since at the end of the day I know the truth of it, it all comes down to I’m not worth the effort of trying to understand.

Ranger will figure that out soon enough and when he does he’ll throw in the towel as well.

Chapter Four

Ranger

“Brother, what the hell was that with Harlow?” Blaze demands, tightening his arms around his ol’ lady, Raven, who was perched on his knee glaring at me as I take a seat across from him. Blaze uses his foot to rock the infant carrier holding their son Mark. Their other son was sitting in a chair next to them with Jamie watching something on a tablet.

Most likely Paw Patrol or Blue’s Clues. With Matthew being a little over one, he pretty much follows Jamie everywhere along with Luca and Corinne, though all the boys seem protective over that little girl.

“That’s what I’d like to know,” Victoria mutters from next to her ol’ man, my VP, Tracker.

Fuckin’ hell.

“Right now, I don’t fuckin’ know what’s going on, but I’ll tell you this now, Harlow is mine. Don’t try to stop it or stand in my way when it comes to getting her to come around,” I state more or less to Raven and Victoria than anyone else. Who knows what those two will try to do if given the chance.

“You don’t know what you’re up against,” Raven whispers, shaking her head.

“Doesn’t matter, I’ll figure it out along the way,” I shrug.

“No, you can’t just figure it out along the way. Not when it comes to Harlow. You don’t know what happened to her and it’s not my place to tell you but forcing yourself into her life will not get you anywhere,” Victoria states, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Baby,” Tracker says warningly.

“Don’t baby me. Not when it comes to my family,” she murmurs, turning her glare on him.

“Maybe he should know,” Raven remarks.

“Ray,” Victoria snaps, whipping her head in Raven’s direction.

“Don’t Ray me. I know you hate what she went through and I’m not trying to sound like a bitch by saying this, but you weren’t there. You didn’t see the lights die in her the way Pitch Black and I did. Or Lynch. We saw it and there was nothing we could do about it. Not back then, however, I can now. Consequences be damned.” Tears spill down Raven’s cheeks as she furiously wipes them away.

Victoria seems to contemplate what Raven says and nods her head. “You sure about this?” she asks.

“Sure, about what? Somebody want to fill us all in?” I mutter, frustrated by everything they’re talking about.

“Brother, you need to calm down,” Shadow mutters, joining the rest of us. Luna takes a seat on his lap.

Seeing the way my brothers are with their women causes a pang of jealousy to filter through me as thoughts of wanting the same thing penetrate my mind even more so.

“I’ll calm down when I understand what they’re talking about in regard to Harlow,” I grumble.

“When Harlow was thirteen, she was attacked,” Raven announces and everyone around us tenses up at the news. I knew something had to have happened for her to get the scar on her face. “It wasn’t in the way you would think. She was attacked by several girls who beat her, sheered her hair off, and one of them gave her the scar on her face with a pair of scissors.”

“Fuck,” I growl, sitting forward bracing my hands on my knees.

“You can say that again. Pitch Black found her laying in the dirt at the park, he carried her to his truck and took her straight to the hospital. Harlow never told us which girls did it but I found out and when I did, I made sure they paid for what they did. Unfortunately, it was too late, Harlow had already moved up here and refuses to go
