“Did you know Morgan was married?” Henley’s voice was somewhere between hurt and excited.

“She just told me; she’s on the line.”

“Hi, Henley,” I said quietly.

“Morgan Delany, when I see you I’m going to... I’m going to...”

“You’re going to what, Hen?” Devlyn asked with a chuckle.

“I’m going to sic Bailey on you!” she said triumphantly.

“I’m sure once Bailey knows, she’ll kick my ass, anyway,” I surmised. “Wait, how did you know?”

“He came to the clubhouse and punched Gunner.”

“He what? Why would he punch Gunner?” I asked. Then it hit me. “Oh shit!” I whispered.

I scrambled off the bed, leaving the phone. I rushed out to the living room and found my mother sitting on the couch reading my book.

“This is good; I need to borrow it.”

I snatched the book and threw it on the floor. “We need to go to the clubhouse. Now!” I grabbed her hand and yanked her up. Looking around, I searched for my keys.

“Why do we need to go to the clubhouse?”

“Because Jude is there and he’s about to start another fucking war.”

My mother didn’t say a word; she just pulled me out the door and drove me to the clubhouse. I was a nervous wreck the whole way up the mountain, and when we pulled up outside, I didn’t think. I hurried up the steps and barged in.

Looking around frantically, I searched the faces, and when I didn’t see the one I was looking for, I turned toward church.

I blamed Jude.

For every stupid decision I’d made since the day we met, I blamed him. And barging into church at the Sons of Hell clubhouse was probably the dumbest decision I had ever made in my life.

But I did it anyway.

I pushed the door open, and King glared at me.

“Why the fuck would you punch the VP of an allied club?” I heard my brother’s voice snarl from the phone laying on the table.

“Because he fucked my wife.”

I closed my eyes.

He knew.

I should have told him first.

I should have let him explain, and then I could have explained.

“Jude,” I whispered.

When my husband turned to face me, all I saw was anger and hurt.

“I can explain,” I said, but the sound of my brother’s voice cut me off.

“What the fuck, Rome?! I’m on the phone.” The phone was silent for a minute as Jude and I stared at each other.
