King and I were sitting at the bar talking about Jonah and the Death Dogs when Sypher stormed in.
“NAV! Get out here, you fucking bastard!”
King went to stand, and I grabbed his arm. “Wait,” I said.
“What the fuck, Sypher?” Nav asked as he came out of his office.
“Did you fucking tell them? You’re the only one who knew she was here.”
“What the fuck are you talking about?” Nav asked. He looked genuinely confused.
“Irene!” Sypher growled.
That got our attention. “Church, right fucking now,” King barked. He looked back at me. “Call the officers in.”
Pulling out my phone, I sent out the text and it wasn’t long before everyone was sitting around the table. Sypher seethed as he glared at Nav. Nav sat back in his chair and glared back at him.
“I didn’t fucking tell anyone,” he insisted. “King doesn’t even fucking know.”
“What don’t I know?” King asked, his eyes locked on Nav.
“Fuck,” Nav said under his breath, his phone in his hand as he typed something out.
“What?”
“I have to tell you something. You’re gonna be pissed and if you want to kick my ass, I understand, but let me explain first, ok?”
Nav looked at Sypher, who was still glaring at him. Then back at King.
“I know where Zeus’ sister is.”
I stared at my brother. King and I had handpicked Nav to come with us when we started this chapter. Until this moment, I didn’t think there was a man in this clubhouse that was more trustworthy.
“Where the fuck is she?” King snarled.
Someone knocked on the door, and we all turned. “Come in,” Nav yelled. I didn’t expect Banshee to be the one behind it, holding Aspen’s hand.
“What the fuck is going on?” King slammed his fist on the table.
“Prez, she needs to be protected. This is my fuckup and I’ll fix it,” Banshee admitted.
“Someone better start talking right fucking now.” Looking around the table, I knew I wasn’t the only one in the dark.
I looked at Gunner, who stared at Aspen. Anger apparent on his face. “Does Haizley know, Gun?” I asked him.
“If she does, she didn’t fucking tell me.”
“Haizley doesn’t know,” Aspen quickly said.
“Sit down, baby girl.” Banshee pulled out a chair for Aspen, then stood behind her, his hands on her shoulders.
“You all know that Kronos approached me about marrying Irene.” Aspen flinched at the use of her real name. “When I refused, it caused tension between the clubs. Steele was pissed, and so was Kronos. It was why I asked to join you here. When I didn’t back down, he found someone else.”
Aspen sat with her head down. After everything she had been through here in Diamond Creek, to learn what she had endured before coming here was a testament to her strength.
We heard scratching at the door before a loud bark.
