Calm Before the Storm

Jax POV

We arrived home after dinner and the second we walked in the door Liam's arm were around me. The pack house was silent and I assumed he sent them all away.

"What happened?" I asked with a hard breath. He was more rattled than I thought he would be.

Liam pulled out of my arms and leaned his head to mine. "Nothing!" He chuckled and stepped back.

"Nothing?" Riley said. "That can't be. I could feel his presence was coming and it would be devastating."

Liam gave her a small smile then pulled her close to him. "He had a hundred sick ideas and I know I'm included in half of them, but today he didn't ask anything of me."

"What of Lindsey?" I wanted to know what he agreed too. Liam turned Riley so her back was to his front and his hands roamed over her stomach. I knew how calming it was to feel her carrying our child.

"I told him I would mark her on the silver moon. We have to kill her before then." Liam said in all seriousness.

Shock doesn’t properly explain what those words did to me.
