She blinks once, twice, and three times, as if unable to understand that I’m here before her mouth parts in shock, and she gasps, “Leo?”

I can’t even relish in the fact she’s used my legal name, my anger hazing over everything, and without saying a word, I lean over the bar and grip her upper arms, electricity shooting through me from our touch, and I lift her over the bar.

“Hey!” the guy who groped her shouts and tries to grab her hips, but Viper intercepts him and shoves him back and whispers something in his ear, and whatever he says has the guy stepping back with fear and locking eyes with me.

I curl my lip at the fucker, causing the crotch of his jeans to become wet, making the brothers behind me laugh, but I ignore them, and I bend slightly and throw Luna over my shoulder, then carry her out of this dump.

I’m going to fucking spank her ass for this and then, I’m either going to shout at her for lying to me then leaving or I’m going to kiss her senseless because of how much I’ve fucking missed her.

One night, it was supposed to be one fucking night, that was it, but she had me fucking hooked…

Chapter 21

Luna

I try to swallow the bile that’s rising from the four, or was it five shots?

Crap.

Leo drops me to my feet, and I sway a little, dizziness taking me before I blink as I look around me, then blink again in shock, thinking maybe I’m more drunk than I thought as I see several brothers surrounding the strip club parking lot all looking at me with a glare like I brought them all out here – what the?

My brother's club looks ready for murder while Leo looks at me with curled lips.

I didn’t even do anything! I’m just trying to get by, earn a living, and get through college. I didn’t ask them to hunt me down and pull me out of my job.

Dammit, I knew the Dark Angel recognized me, but in my buzzed state, I didn’t want to believe it. Maybe they’re all here to finally kill me, though I hate to break it to them, but they’d be doing me a favor.

Someone moves, getting my attention, and I glare at my brother, who has suddenly come into my vision, looking at me like he doesn’t recognize me. The urge to hit him hard vibrates through me, but he just glares harder, taking in my short shorts.

He should be grateful his best friend ruined my body, and this is the top I was forced to wear instead of nipple pasties.

I slowly look back at Leo, who has a cold face and dark eyes filled with anger, as he takes in my attire.

Well, this ass can also go screw himself, not after he–

“I didn’t fuck a clubwhore or allow her to suck my dick. I only said that to hurt you,” Leo says quietly as his eyes race between mine when I don’t say anything, reading my thoughts while my brother, parts of his club and parts of Leo’s watches on.

Well, never mind then, so he didn’t screw a clubwhore. He’s still a dick, though.

I nod and mumble, “Good for you,” not caring anymore.

I’m past it, have been since I killed an innocent life all because I couldn’t deal with the fact the baby could have been Brock’s, and now, I’ll most likely never be a mother, but hey, that isn’t really a bad thing now, is it?

I’m broken. I’d just ruin a child anyhow.

“Luna…” Leo rasps when I don’t drop my coldness, and my anger takes hold.

He allowed his mother to hit me, he allowed lies to get to him all because he was clearly scared and to show up here like he had a right to follow me…

Flaring my nostrils as he takes a step forward, I use the opportunity and bend slightly, grabbing his blade. Twisting it, I place the sharp edge at his throat, and several men step forward.The sounds of safety clicks echo, and Leo quickly puts his hands up to stop his brothers from shooting me, though again, they would be doing me a favor.

“This is what you threatened to do to me, right? When you accused me of shit that I didn’t even do…” I state to Leo, reminding him of that day that he tore us apart before we could even discuss everything.

His eyes race between mine, full of concern, and he whispers, “I knew my strong fiery princess was somewhere in there.”

I tilt my head at him and say coldly, “I’m not your girl, I was your regular fuck, and that was all I could have ever been because I was always his.” His body tenses and anger flashes through his dark blue eyes, making them darker, but before he can open his mouth, I say numbly, “Did you know I was pregnant, Leo?” and he freezes.

“What the fuck, Luna?” I hear my brother snaps, but I don’t look at him, not breaking eye contact with Leo.
