Things really started to change for the better as Rylee got more involved in helping Hannah. We settled back into our routine as a family and Jax nearly ran my door out of its hinges one morning just after breakfast.“Easy Jax,” I said as I looked at him.“Chris is going into labour,” he said out of breath and for a few seconds we just stood there.“Let’s go!” I said loudly and he turned and ran down the stairs.Chris was already in a hospital gown next door and Stella was checking her vitals. Rylee was right next to her whispering words of encouragement. She looked relieved to see Jax and Chris let out an almighty scream.“Good luck man, we’ll be waiting in the living room,” I said and pulled Rylee out of the room.“Thank you for saving me,” she breathed as we settled down for the wait.We could hear Chris screaming all the way to the living room and I stood up abruptly. My heart couldn’t take her screaming in pain like that but Rylee grabbed my hand and pulled me back to sit down aga

Two weeks had gone by and things were looking up. I had a meeting scheduled with Jasper and Marcus at the end of the month at The Drake to finalize the signature wine list that would go to every hotel we owned.Chris, Jax and Jade had moved into their own house not too far from us and every time I saw her she looked different. Jax had taken leave for the next two months but they stopped by every week for dinner.“Come in,” I said at the knock on my door.“If you’re busy I can come back later,” Rylee said.“You don’t have to knock Rylee. I’ll always make time for you,” I said to her as she sat down.“It’s been almost a month since we talked about introducing me to the lair,” she began.“You’ve made a decision?” I asked her.“Yes, I want to go ahead,” she said and I smiled.“Great, I’ll have Hannah give you a hand in the planning,” I said to her.“Does this mean we’re engaged now?” she asked as she looked at me.“Basically yes, Hannah will guide you throu

Lunch consisted of snack platters for over twenty Sires that were currently gathered in the downstairs meeting room. I had numerous business dealings with all of them and at one point I had bailed a few of them out of sticky situations so that they could retain their Sire status.“Lucas, only you could pull off a gathering of opposing Sires in peace,” Roger said as we sat around the table.“I find myself facing a dire situation, which is why I’ve asked all of you here. You are the closest Sires in Illinois and today I’m going to ask for your help,” I said as I looked at them.“Lucas, whatever it is, you know I’ve got your back,” Jasper said and I smiled.“Yesterday a McIntyre messenger arrived on my doorstep. They’ve lodged a claim forcing me to return one of their members that left their territory six years ago. I recently found her and she’s been living here for about six weeks now, under my protection,” I said.“All this for one member?” Tod stated looking bored.“Their claim is th

“You son of a bitch!” JD yelled as I told Preston to take him into custody and Carson waited out of sight until JD had been taken away.The Elders were waiting for Rylee in the meeting room and the other Sires were also taking their leave. We all had a lot of work to do and taking time out of your schedule for an impromptu meeting like this had consequences.“Thank you for having my back, I guess now I owe you all one,” I said amidst a few that laughed.“Having Lucas Grey owe you one was definitely worth this meeting,” Remy said.I went upstairs and found Rylee on the sofa with a notebook taking notes as Hannah spoke non-stop. She smiled when she saw me and if Hannah wasn’t in the room, well yeah, I won’t go into details about that.“Hannah give us a moment,” I said.“Is something wrong?” Rylee asked me her hands slightly shaking. I waited for Hannah to leave and sat down next to her.“The Elders want to speak to you, I made Carson confess part of their crimes and JD’s being held down

Two days after the ceremony I finally went down to the basement to see JD. There were basic amenities available to him and he got fed twice a day. He had a sink and a toilet and an open shower with a cot with bedding. I wasn’t inhumane even though he was a bastard that deserved to suffer.“You look well JD,” I said to him.“How long are you planning on keeping me here?” he asked.“As long as I see fit,” I said.“Carson will retaliate,” he said to me confidently.“Oh JD, how naïve you are. Carson gave you up seconds into the interrogation and placed all the blame on you,” I said to him.“You’re a liar!” he seethed.“Am I? Why hasn’t Carson come for you yet? It’s been days now,” I said as I leaned against the wall.“You’re planning on killing me aren’t you?” he asked me.“Of course, quick or slow depends on you but I prefer slow, make you feel what Rylee felt,” I said to him.“I have information,” JD said.“I’m not interested in your information, chain him to the wall and whip him for t

Rev and Preston joined me in the waiting room as I paced up and down waiting for news. It seemed like forever as people came and left and finally after two hours a nurse walked right towards us and asked us to follow her.We followed her into what looked like a small office and waited five more minutes before the doctor joined us. I had felt the second snap and my tears were very close to the surface. I hated crying in front of other people and I never showed weakness to anyone.“Mr. Grey, your sister, her husband and their baby were brought in by ambulance. They were involved in a five car pileup on the highway. We did everything we could, I’m really sorry for your loss but none of them survived,” he said as I felt my grip on reality shatter.“No,” I said as I grabbed him by the front of his scrubs.“Lucas,” Rev said as he pried my hands loose and the doctor left the room.“They’re all dead,” I whispered as Preston sank to a chair and I saw tears in his eyes.“Lucas, I’m sorry,” Rev

It’s been a month since we burned Jax and Chris and I’d basically forgotten JD’s statement about the missing women and the auctions. I was preoccupied with business dealings and I had taken the time to mourn them properly which meant that I had yet to meet with Marcus and Jasper.I was in the dressing room putting on my tie when Rylee made an appearance in the doorway and looked me up and down. I had hardly seen her today and she was dressed to go out.“Where are you off to?” she asked me.“The Drake, I have to meet with Marcus and Jasper. Are you joining me?” I asked her.“Hannah invited me to go out with her, so I guess I’ll see you there,” she said with a smile.“You’d rather go with Hannah than me?” I asked her as I turned to face her.“Well since you’re asking so nicely,” she said and started playing with my tie.“We can all go as a group, Rev needs to sit in on the meeting as well,” I said to her my hand trailing up her arm.“Keep your hands to yourself,” she said as she took a s

Rylee ignored me as we drove home a few hours later and I returned it by ignoring her as well. I wasn’t going to defend myself when I did nothing wrong. Tessa was part of my lair and things between us had ended a long time ago except for a one night stand here and there.“I’m going to bed,” I said as we climbed out of the car.I headed upstairs first and I pulled sweat pants on and climbed into bed. Baz was restless and I groaned loudly as I turned on my back. I felt Rylee as she climbed into bed and turned her back on me. My eyes were half closed when she decided to say something.“You smell like her,” she said and I sighed.“Do you want me to go shower?” I asked her.“No, by all means sleep next to me with her scent all over you,” she said.“Jealousy doesn’t suit you Rylee,” I said as I turned towards her.“And you’ll be fine if I sleep next to you smelling like another man?” she asked me. Baz roared loudly in my head and I had her pinned down beneath me before she could even react.
