Logan stepped closer. “Honestly, we don’t know how we’re going to fix things, but we need to talk to her. None of us agree with what Parker did. We all care about her—and the baby—deeply.”
“If you cared about her, she wouldn’t be in this situation,” Meadow pointed out.
“His heart is in the right place,” I said, “but he’s acting like a brainless idiot. My pack mate stupidly keeps trying to protect us from things we don’t need protecting from. He needs a therapist—and given how much money he has, he can afford a damn good one. The problem is, he’s a stubborn asshole.”
Hendrix snorted. “That sounds vaguely familiar.”
“Please.” I looked imploringly at Meadow. “If she’s not happy in five minutes, you can kick us out.”
Meadow fiercely wiped her eyes and twisted, still staying well within Hendrix’s arms. “She’s not here. She’s on her way to the airport.”
“Theairport?” I asked in a small voice, my body freezing.
“Is she going back to Seattle?” Logan asked, his voice tight with worry.
Meadow nodded. “She said she plans to stay until the baby is born because she won’t stay where she’s not wanted, and she doesn’t want to risk running into any of you right now.”
“Let’s go!” I immediately shoved my pack mates toward the car. “We can still catch her. She hasn’t been gone that long.”
Nausea turned my stomach. If we’d waited, like the others had suggested, she could’ve been beyond reach before we even knew about it.
I was thankful for the LA traffic.
That was something I never thought I’d say.
“It’s gridlock,” Hunter complained from the passenger seat as I drove…or didn’t, given the lack of movement.
“Has to be an accident or something,” I whined, glancing at all the cars around me who were also at a standstill. We hadn’t made any progress in almost twenty minutes.
“If we’re not moving, then neither is Clover,” Logan said, though I was hardly reassured.
“How do we find her?”
“That’s the good thing about her sparkly princess car—it’s easy to recognize,” Hunter said.
“Her car was in Meadow’s driveaway. If she took a rideshare, there’s no way of knowing what car she’s in. Oh, fuck it.” I undid my seat belt. “I can’t sit and wait.”
“Where the fuck are you going?” Logan asked, already climbing out to take up my spot, in case we started moving.
“I’m going to go find our girl!”
“In the middle of a six-lane highway?” Hunter asked, looking at me like I had lost my mind. “You’re going to get run over!”
“I’ll risk it!” Anything for Clover. Staying put wasn’t an option for me.
Chapter 33
Clover
It was going to takeforeverto get to the airport at this rate. We’d barely inched forward for ages. Movement out of the corner of my eye had me turning, a combined bolt of relief and panic shooting through me when I realized it was Avery sprinting through the stationary cars. Our gazes locked, and he skidded to a stop next to my rideshare.
“Angel!” His words were slightly muffled through the glass. He turned back down the road, flailing his arms in the air. “She’s here!”
Oh god, what now?
“What the hell? Who the fuck is this guy?” My driver stared wide-eyed.
My stomach dropped when I saw Logan and Hunter winding through the vehicles, heading right for me.
