He wanted to be the craziest lunatic on the block.

Being insane would get his woman back. Knowing he’d go to any lengths to do it.

Angela was the bravest woman he knew.

She’d endured enough pain to last two lifetimes, and he knew she didn’t need him to rescue her.

But there was no corner of this miserable world he wouldn’t burn to ashes to get to her.

They were in Jamie Steele’s territory when they pulled the bikes up, outside a five-block warehouse known for amateur boxing and gambling.

They were known, and the bouncers let them in.

Not that Lawless would have been stopped.

He eyed the app. The dot hadn’t moved.

She was here somewhere, and he would find her.

Feeling like he was crawling outside of his skin husk, he surveyed a gaze across the pulsing crowd, watching two fellas throwing bare-knuckles at each other.

The crowd bayed and cheered.

And the moment he stepped inside, the app started to glitch. Too many cell phones and whatever else in the building hampered the signal. Lawless growled, almost snapping his phone in half.

Reaper came up to Lawless, silent as ever. A loyal presence. People got calm around Reaper, but it didn’t work for Lawless. Not this time.

He was never without knowing his next steps.

Nothing daunted Lawless.

He didn’t give a fuck about who he had to slay in his way of achieving that.

Would he get to her in time?

There was no answer, and he hated not having a ready solution.

There was nothing he wouldn’t do.

He’d hurt.

And terrorize.

He’d kill without thinking.

Nothing was as important as his angel.

Now he was resenting those three years away from her.

He should have claimed her at seventeen and damned the consequences.

It wasn’t as though he had a conscience.

He let her have those three years for herself before he took over her soul. But now, he wished he’d done things differently.

“Fan out,” he rasped.

It wasn’t hard to spot Ruiz. The fool was wearing a white suit, his ink hair slicked back, sitting at the front of the crowd. He saw five of his bodyguards close by at a quick count, but his brothers would take care of them.
