Lover Reborn JR Ward 38680K 2023-08-31

Across town, in the ers in preparation to strike Z and Phury were a mere block over from him, but there was no reason to call the the whole death-wish shit again

These two lessers up ahead were suffering fro along like they had nothing better to do than wear down the soles of their boots

The Society was overrecruiting, he thought,too deep into the pool of miscreant antisocials And then once they were inducted, the SOBs weren&039;t getting enough training or support -

Against his side, his phone vibrated as a text ca The snow cover helped muffle the sound of his shitkickers, and thanks to the cold air blowing into hiive himself away - not that these fools would have noticed either

At the lasttipped them off and they pivoted around

He couldn&039;t have asked for a better response

He nailed theh their carotids, opening second mouths below their chins As their hands shot up, he tore through the space between theround if necessary -

Oh, but no The pussies were already falling to their knees

Whistling through his teeth, he signaled to the others as he outted his phone to call Butch for cleanup -

He froze The text that had coht now

"Autu around the corner, he looked up "I gotta bounce"

Phury frowned "What&039;s happened?"

"I don&039;t know"

He de to the north Had she hurt herself? Maybe down in the clinic working? Or fucking hell What if she&039;d been out in toith Xhex and soressed on her?

As he re-formed on the steps in front of the mansion, he all but broke down the doors of the vestibule Good thing Fritz cut the need for a carpenter by answering the inner one quick

Tohr blew by the butler at a dead run He was da that or any other conversation Hitting the hidden door under the stairs, he fell into a pounding gallop as he shot through the underground tunnel

His first clue as to rong came as he burst out of the supply closet and into the office

His body flipped out, the signals froe of focus that , punched at his leathers, his head swiet to Autued sound of his voice was cut off as a screah-pitched and horrid, it was that of a female in incredible pain

His body responded instantly, treet to Autu to spend the next ten or twelve hours in hell She needed acare of her -

Tohr lunged for the glass door, arile barrier aside

He caught himself just as he opened the way

What the fuck was he doing? What the fuck was he doing?

Another screaed as a wave of sexual instinct nearly brought hiain, his thought patterns ground to a halt as all he could think about washer torment

But as the horain

"No," he barked "No, no fucking way"

Pushing himself away frorabbed onto the thing in preparation for the next onslaught

I, the one when they had conceived their young, flickered through hisand undeniable as his body&039;s urges His Wellsie had been in such pain, crippling pain

He&039;d co to enjoy a good ainst each other but as soon as he&039;d entered through their garage, he&039;d had the sae tothat caused that kind of reaction

Six months before that, Wellsie had , that when she went into her next needing, he would not drug her Man, they&039;d had a fight over that He hadn&039;t wanted to lose her to the birthing bed; like a lot of bonded males, he would have rather they reether than for hihting? she&039;d yelled at hiht!

He couldn&039;t remember nohat he&039;d said to her then No doubt he&039;d tried to cal happens to you, she&039;d said, I&039;ve got nothing either You think I don&039;t go through that crucible every fucking night?

What had he said to her? Fuck him, he didn&039;t know But he could picture her face clear as day as she&039;d stared up at hi, Tohr I want a piece of you andif you don&039;t - because that&039;s what I&039;

Little had they known that he&039;d be the one left behind That the young wouldn&039;t be why she died That all the things they had fought over that night hadn&039;t been the right worries

But life was like that And as soon as he&039;d walked into their house, he&039;d wanted to call Havers, had even gone to the phone But in the end, and as usual, he hadn&039;t been able to deny her

And instead of bleeding after the needing had passed, she&039;d found herself pregnant Incandescent had barely described her joy -

The next screalass door

Jane burst into the office "Tohr! Listen, I need your help - "

As his hands clawed into the desk&039;s edge to keep himself in place, he shook his head like a crazyher - no fucking way I&039; it - "

Babbling, he was fucking babbling He didn&039;t even hear his oords as he started to lift up the desk and sla hard and heavy got knocked onto the floor

Soht it was too fucking ironic that he was losing it in this rooain

He&039;d found out Wellsie was dead in here

Jane held her hands up "No, wait, I need your help - but not in that way - "

Another wave of instinct rit his teeth and have to bow his upper body as he cursed

"She told me not to call you - "
