“Let’s go then,” Hardy says. “Let’s go fuck these dudes up and get our girl back.”
“We can’t rock up all guns blazing,” Silver says.
“Why the fuck not?” I ask.
“We’ll be outnumbered.”
Axel scoffs. “Being outnumbered has never hampered us before.”
“We’re attacking their stronghold. They’ll be expecting us. We won’t stand a chance.”
“Then bring your men with us, Silver.”
“And have them butchered like cannon fodder?”
“Then what do you suggest?” Axel asks tersely.
Silver massages his shoulder, gaze swimming over the Snakebite’s face.
Nate flips the knife through the air and it lands tip down on the table, twanging loudly, the gang member nearly pisses his pants.
“The beach,” Nate says.
Silver’s gaze flicks to him, then back to the gang member.
“Is it guarded?” he asks.
The man frowns. “A few guys patrolling, but not as heavily.”
“It’s a weak spot?”
“Possibly, but the only way on to the beach is from the road and like I said that’s monitored.”
“It’s not the only way,” Hardy says, catching on.
“No, it isn’t,” I agree, twisting the man’s arm back behind him and tying it up. “There’s the water.”
Then I smash my fist against his skull and watch him flop forward unconscious.

The manwith the eyepatch takes a firm grip of my arm, his fingers digging hard into my skin, his nutmeg scent sour in my nose.
Perhaps it would be better to go along with this. Perhaps I should comply. But I’m sick and tired of being a woman who bends to everyone else’s whims and needs. If I’m going down, I’m going down with a fight.
So I scream. I scream and cling to the sun-lounger, refusing to stand when he attempts to force me to my feet.
“Get up, you little bitch,” he sneers.
I growl up at him, hanging on to the sun-lounger with all my might. He yanks me forward and the sun-lounger scrapes along the smooth tiles, then topples over. I don’t let go. Not even when I tumble down on my knees and he drags both me and the sun-lounger together. Not even when I skin my knees.
No, I grit my teeth against the pain.
I’m going to make this as damn hard for him as I can.
I know they’re coming. I know my pack will come for me. I just have to buy myself some time.
