I see her. I always see her. Everyone else overlooks the quiet woman hiding in the corner. I never have. As the club’s enforcer, it’s my job to notice things. And she’s impossible to ignore. She’s survived more than anyone should, yet she keeps pretending she’s fine. She buries every scar, every secret, every nightmare behind a carefully crafted mask. I don’t know who hurt her first, only that the club was the last to do it.
When her past finally comes to collect what’s theirs… they’re going to learn I’m not willing to let her go easily.
NATALIE—
Being kidnapped stopped scaring me years ago. After enough cages, bruises, and people deciding my life wasn’t my own, fear became just another emotion I learned to bury. I didn’t come looking for the Hounds. I came to find a place to belong. Should have known that wasn’t going to happen. The friendships I thought I’d found shatter as old enemies find me. And when the past I’ve spent years pretending didn’t exist comes to collect me, I doubt they’ll let me walk away this time. Neither does Atom.
The difference is… Atom isn’t the safe haven I thought he’d be. Especially since he’s the man who kidnapped me last.
