“That’s me.”

“My name is Reaper, and I have some information for you.”

Chapter Thirty Five

Salena

“Logan’sbeenavoidingme.”

Kai stops wiping down the bar and turns to glare at me. “Why? What did you do?”

“What makes you think I did something wrong?” I grumble, throwing the hand towel at him. I peer down at my phone for the millionth time in the last few hours. Still no messages. I sigh. Logan and Sander have been busy with my case. There’s a new lead, one everyone has been tight lipped about, and it seems to have Logan on edge.

“Well, why else would he be avoiding you?”

I shake my head, running my tongue over my teeth. Kai’s expression is soft as he pulls me into his chest. I love my brother’s hugs. They always make me feel loved and protected. I sense Felix enter the bar, followed by Declan. The music starts up from the stage as the band begins their set. I pull from Kai’s arms and turn to face Felix and Declan. I’m immediately alert, with the concern on both their faces.

“What’s your man doing at that club? The one Reaper owns, the Den?” Felix asks, taking a stool.

“What?” I stammer, confusion and worry slamming into me. I lean my palms on the bar in front of me, mostly to hold myself steady.

“The Den. I saw Logan heading in there about an hour ago,” Felix says with a shrug.

I stare at him, a mixture of emotions running through me. Yes, we’ve ruled Reaper out of being my stalker, but it doesn’t mean he isn’t still an enemy. Why would Logan be going into his club in Denver? Why are Felix and Declan in Denver?

“What were you doing in Denver?” I snap.

Felix and Declan share a look.

I let loose a long growl, which draws the attention of the young couple a few seats down. “What?”

“I paid off my loans,” Declan mumbles, his voice barely audible above the band.

“Oh, well that’s good, but we are not supposed to go into Reaper’s territory.”

“We were quick,” Felix assures me.

“Are you sure it was Logan?” Kai asks them.

“Definitely. Walked straight in, no lining up.”

Thump.

“He didn’t tell you?” Felix asks.

“No,” I choke out.

Thump.

“Huh.”

My heart rate begins to pick up, a sick feeling twisting in my stomach.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Felix frowns at me. “When was the last time you spoke?”

“Yesterday.” I scan the bar. It was fairly quiet tonight, these guys would be fine without me. “I’m leaving to check it out.”
