He turned around to leave the kitchen and almost bumped into Bam, standing there watching him with his arms crossed over his chest.
“Uncle Bam!”
“Havoc.”
“Didn’t see you there. I’m really enjoying my day. Thanks for having me and Harley.”
“You’re always welcome, you should know that,” Bam said.
“I do, but, I wonder sometimes, you know?”
“Yeah, I know.”
Havoc flashed a quick smile and tried to go around Bam, but Bam moved to block his way out of the kitchen.
Havoc took a step back and looked up at Bam.
“You know I love you, Havoc.”
“Yes, sir.”
“You know that if you hurt her again, I’ll have to kill you. Which means that your daddy, my best friend, is going to come at me. And when he does, one of us will end up dead. And it will cause dissension between the entire clan. You get that, right?”
Havoc sighed, but he never broke eye contact with Bam. “First, I’ll never hurt her again. Second, before I let anyone but me suffer for my actions, I’ll leave, for good.”
“You swore you’d never hurt her the first time. And Havoc, she’s suffering.”
“I had no idea what I was going to cause back then.”
“You trying to tell me you made a mistake?” Bam asked.
“No, sir. Hell, no. It wasn’t a mistake. It was poor choices. I knew what I was doing, but had no idea what the fallout was going to be. I figured we were just kids; how bad could it get? I had no idea what I was toying with. I had no idea our lives would blow up like they did. Other kids broke up, got back together, it wasn’t a big deal. I had no idea, Uncle Bam. No fucking idea.”
“I know. And you’re both paying every day since.”
Havoc nodded.
“Couple things you need to know.”
“Alright,” Havoc said, waiting for Bam to say his piece.
“I see you. I see what you’re doing. I still don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but like I said, if you hurt her again, I’ll kill you.”
“Yes, sir,” Havoc said.
“If she hurts you, that’s all on you. I figure you deserve at least that much.”
“You wouldn’t be wrong, Uncle Bam.”
“But most of all, I really hope it’s not too far gone to fix. Life is hard enough for a shifter to have their ever out there hating them somewhere, too.”
Havoc nodded slowly. “I don’t know if it’s even possible. But if it is, I’ll never turn away from her again. If she’ll let me, I’ll make it up to her.”
“If she pushes you away, go away,” Bam ordered.
“Yes, sir.”
“And take some raw rice out of the cabinet. Pour it into a freezer bag and drop her phone into it. Should soak up the moisture and dry it out, but hopefully not too soon. Whoever the hell Beau is doesn’t need to be calling her so damn much.”
