“Easy there, boss.”
“The bitch tried to kill us,” I huffed. “I want her dead. I don’t care what it takes.”
Ranger nodded. “We’ll get patrols going out to scout and see if we can find her or the boyfriend. You need to let Doc check you out.”
I shook my head. “I’m fine. Hunter is more hurt than I am.”
“Boss, you’re stubborn, let him check you out.”
“Later. I need to find this bitch before she kills anyone else or hurts the people I care about.”
Ranger wanted to argue more, but I gave him a look, and he stopped. I was fine, and even if I wasn't, people needed me to be okay. I had to protect my people and make sure they were safe. There was a sociopath trying to ruin my livelihood.
I walked into Hawke’s office, but he wasn’t there. So I went to their bedroom, knocking before walking in. Fallon was healed, but Hawke was being a mother hen with his wife and their sex lives. I also knew how Fallon was when she didn’t get fucked the way she wanted. When I opened their door, Fallon was asleep in Hawke’s arms, and Hawke was glaring at me.
“We need to talk,” I whispered, fury still lacing my tone.
Hawke adjusted Fallon in their bed before slipping out and kissing her temple. He was clothed from the waist down—thankfully—as he scurried out of the room. “What is it?”
“Everly blew up a warehouse where she and Hunter scened before. Hunter is hurt. I want the bitch found, and I want her taken care of before any more of my people get hurt or she gets Kadence.”
“Is Hunter okay?”
“She’s unconscious. Doc is making sure she is taken care of.”
He inspected me. “And what about you? You need to take care of yourself before they use your stubbornness against you.”
I glared at him. “They don’t have to use my stubbornness against me because they can use Kadence or any of you.”
“What are you planning?”
“I’m going to find her, and I am going to fucking kill her.”
CHAPTER 74
KADENCE
There was a knock on Annika’s door and Noah investigated first, ready to shoot if it was Everly or someone else. Instead, Doc’s sweet face came into view. Blaize was doing something with Hunter, but that was last night. When I got to Annika’s, I passed out after Doc checked me over. Fighting the psycho bitch was exhausting.
“Doc?” I questioned before panic crept in. “Is Blaize okay?” A few days passed since I saw her. When I wanted to come home, she said no because she was busy looking for Everly and wanted me safe.
He shook his head. “Physically, she’s fine. Hunter is at the clubhouse with a concussion if Drew wants to see her. Warehouse explosion. Sent them both flying. She’s been asleep since the night before last. She’s okay.”
Annika jumped up and went into her room to wake up Drew. “What else is wrong?”
“Can you walk with an old man, dear? I’m about to tell you something that’s not the happiest story, but I am concerned.”
I nodded, slipping into a pair of Crocs. Doc offered me his elbow as we went outside and down the stairs. “Is Blaize really okay?”
He sighed. “I’m seeing a lot of traits in her now that were there when Olivia and Charlee died.”
We talked about the happy memories with her wife and daughter. I didn’t know about the traumatizing parts besides losing them. Dealing with the loss of my brother hurt me, but I couldn’t imagine losing a wife or a child. I never wanted Blaize to forget about her family, and I hope she didn’t expect it when dating me.
“She never told me anything.”
“I was working at the hospital before I met Blaize. When I was out for a walk, I saw the two of them in the park, and Olivia went into labor. She was bleeding. I delivered Charlee in the park as the ambulance pulled up.”
“Wow. I thought you were just the club doctor. You’re actually a doctor?”
