today. And when I was on Main Street, well, I saw you and your truck and when I heard you say Lynx’s name, I knew that I could try and follow or hitch a ride to see if you took me any closer to my brother.”
    Bull’s eyes widened as he realized how easy it had been for her to find the clubhouse. He had led her straight there.
    “I’m sorry, I should have just called, but you said you didn’t have your cell phone, that you lost it in the accident. And then I get here, and it turns out, I had every right to be suspicious. I mean, come on, what the hell is going on here?” She looked from Bull to Lynx and then to Green Eyes, who still hadn’t stopped looking at her since the second they had been put in front of each other again. His look was curious and full of want, and although it was quite frightening, it was also piquing her interest with each passing second.
    “I should have just told you,” Lynx said. “I mean, there’s not exactly any need for all of this secrecy. Serena isn’t from here and she wouldn’t have ever talked about it with anyone,” Lynx continued.
    Bull pulled out a chair and sat down too. His big shoulders heaved as he sighed and rubbed his temples.
    “You’re right,” he said. “These are just uncertain times and we are all on guard. Serena, I’m sorry for how you were treated. It was unacceptable.”
    She smiled weakly and nodded in acceptance, but she still felt so in the dark. Who were these men in this house? What was her brother caught up in? What were the uncertain times? And why the hell was he recovering from a bullet in the leg?
    “Serena,” Lynx said as if he were reading her mind. “For the past ten years plus, since I left home and disappeared, I found a family here in Slate Springs.” His tone was serious and respectful, and he looked from Bull to Green Eyes, who were both smiling and nodding.
    “I’ve been here and a part of this for a long time now. This is my home and my brotherhood. We’re bikers, Serena. We run The Forsaken Riders here in Slate Springs, and at the moment, you have just walked into an almighty shit storm.” He sighed and sat down too. “Last week, I was shot and another one of our brothers was badly hurt in a deal gone wrong.” He rubbed his temples and sighed again, as if the memories were too painful for him to continue. “And now, we are more than at war with an enemy who has been threatening us for years.”
    “That’s why we were so on guard when you arrived,” Green Eyes said gruffly. “We thought we were about to be under siege. This isn’t exactly the kind of place that gets visitors knocking on the door, you know what I’m saying?”
    She looked up to him and he flashed her a wicked smile. Her heart skipped a beat in her chest.
    “I’m sorry I startled you all,” she said. “But I honestly had no idea what I would be walking in on. I just wanted to find Lynx and make sure he was okay.” She felt herself well up with tears again and her shoulders shook as she cried. She felt shocked and broken, as if she had been beaten in the ring and was now lying at the side trying to recover.
    Lynx got to his feet and limped around to her, he pulled her up to meet him and hugged her tight.
    “I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I should have just been honest with you from the start.”
    Serena nodded her head and sobbed into his chest. She was exhausted and her whole body was aching.
    “Come on,” Lynx said. “Let me take you somewhere quiet so you can rest and get your head around all of this.”
    Bull got to his feet too and picked up Serena’s bag.
    “There’s a spare room on the top floor,” he said warmly. “Serena, you are welcome to be here for as long as you need. But as your brother has told you, things aren’t exactly safe around here at the moment.”
    Serena didn’t care how safe they were, she just wanted to get the hell out of that room and crawl into bed and sleep. She nodded and then looked down to the floor as
