“You didn’t ask and information at this point will cost you.” Her tune changes because she realizes she’s been duped, and I don’t want her.

“How much?”

“One million.”

“Talk. I have your account information.”

“I can forward you the text. It looks like it came from you. It gave me all these instructions.” She clears her throat. “One was to call a Wesley Brennan, saying I’m speaking on behalf of your brother Riordan because you and I are together and Wes can now take back his little whore. I was told to use those exact words. That his little whore was a bonus payment for his continued cooperation with the O’Rourkes.”

My eyes fly to Riordan. “What does the rest of Wesley’s message say, Rior?”

His blue eyes lower to his phone and with them closed,he says grimly. “She won’t be a problem for Balor anymore.”

Only one other person can fake all of this. Orwould.

Corvin Snow.

And he wants her away from me, so much that he’d give her back to a monster.

For what?

Shane jogs back into the office. “I found Snow. Surprise, surprise.” He smirks. “His car’s license plate tags just pinged one of our secret transmitters. He’s on the New York State Thruway.”

I bet that prick is headed to Beacon where Brennan is holding my Ella.

Wehaveto beat him.

“Rior, I need the helicopter.”

My brother nods and gets on the phone.

Next, I call Lachlan.

“Yo!” he answers.

“I need you. Snow’s working with Brennan. He kidnapped Ella. He’s torturing her, Lach.” I can’t hold back my emotion, not even with him.

“I’m on my way.”

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR

Lachlan

In the soundproof compartment of Kieran’s helicopter, Riordan, Balor, and Eoghan sit at a table looking at blueprints of Brennan’s sprawling riverside ranch.

They have the hard part.

My part is easy peasy.

Shoot. To. Kill.

I’m in the front compartment with my second, Griffin, and Riordan’s second, Connor Quinlan.

Fuck, we’ll miss them.

I hated leaving Katya, but she practically shoved me out the door with those dainty hands.

“Go bring back my future sister! She’s carryingyour blood, Lachlan.”
