Vogue scowled. “Like Dynamo, I want the Screaming Barons buried. Romeo, we’ll need to know if any others have survived.”
“Yeah, I’ll rip McKay’s mind apart when we capture him. And I’ll also tear through Rainbow’s to see what he’s hiding,” Romeo promised.
“Let’s plan,” Warden said.
“Back off, Vogue!” I yelled. People turned and stared, and I ignored the attention.
“Dynamo, we’ve gotta talk about this,” Voguesnapped.
“About what? The fact you’re a betraying whore?” I hissed. Vogue’s eyes glinted, and she stepped forward.
“And you didn’t backstab me? Acting like you’re all sweetness and light.”
I shoved her hard, a genuine reaction to her closeness, and Vogue moved back.
“Bitch, we’re done.” I stormed off and headed for my bike. I’d parked at the far end of the parking lot as planned. Vogue stomped away, heading to the tattoo shop. Eyes were watching, gauging, and I sensed the scrutiny, and not just from curious bystanders. We’d created enough of a commotion to appear genuine. Seeing two Royal Bastards at each other’s throats never happened in public.
As I reached my Harley, I fumbled around for a few moments. Someone snuck up behind me, and I stiffened as I turned. A sharp, shiny needle pierced my arm, and a man chuckled. “Sweet dreams, bitch.”
Counting, I closed my eyes even as I connected with Romeo, who cleared the drug fog immediately. Gracefully faking a collapse, I fell to the ground, and Rainbow caught me roughly and shoved me inside a van.
“Stay with me,”I whispered.
“Always. Slasher’s working through me to clear that crap from your veins,”Romeo replied.
“Damn, he can do that?”
“Says he can. How are you feeling?”
“A bit panicked. Talk to me, Romeo,”I almostbegged.
He proceeded to tell me about Grace half-drowning Warden earlier today when he’d startled her. That shit was funny, and I laughed inwardly. Soul and Bryony’s youngest daughter had water abilities. And as a baby, they were really uncontrollable until the new teacher, Jenson, arrived. Jenson made Noble keep Grace in a bubble, and when Grace threw a tantrum, she soaked herself. Grace soon got fed-up with that and learned to control them pretty quickly. But every so often Grace had a blip.
“Grace’s going to cause mayhem.”
“Defo. Slasher said the drug is gone, but I’ve a firm hold on your mind.”
“Thanks, brother. Looks like we’re stopping. Yeah, we are.”
“Look around,”Romeo ordered.
“Give me a chance. This asshole’s gotta pull me out first.”
The doors opened, and I was shot with another dart. Fuck.
“On it,”Romeo growled as he locked my mind down to stop the drug affecting me.
“McKay claimed you were a badass and would be difficult to capture. What a joke,” Rainbow snarked as he flung me over a shoulder and lifted me out of the van. Unconcerned with Rainbow, I opened my eyes and checked my surroundings.
“Damn, I’m at Rosewoods, that derelict hotel on the Atlantic Highway,”I said and closed them again as I was swung around.
“Is Rainbow taking you inside? We’re riding.”
“Yes. Fucker’s putting me in the reception area. I’m on a couch.”
“Dynamo, we’re coming,”Romeo promised.
“Okay.”
