He nodded. “It won’t be long. I just need them to trust me before I make my move. Keep that redhead here and away from Limerick.”
“Limerick?!”
He nodded. “Yes, that’s where we are.”
“Who at the Rabid Wolves is directing this?” I asked him.
“Flynn.”
I nodded as he went inside to retrieve Tierney. She offered me a half-hearted smile as they walked away, toward the gate. Everything that had been said was still hurting my brain, and I knew I had to trust him.
My brother.
Fuck, if only dad could see us now. He’d be cheering. It was all he ever wanted. Slowly, I turned, but stopped when I saw Tierney running back to me. I was confused until she grabbed hold of me and hugged me tightly. I stiffened, until I found myself hugging her back.
“Flynn has a secret family. Find them. He hides them because he loves them.”
She kissed my cheek and ran back to Dempsey before they left the compound.
She’d just given me the best chance I had at tearing the Wolves apart. I ran inside to tell them what I knew. Shae looked heartbroken, almost miserable as I found her slumped over the bar.
“Are you pissed that your leverage to rise in the club is gone?” I asked her, feeling hatred toward the woman. She rose to meet my eyes.
“Leverage? Tell me you’re joking, Bear. I didn’t want to keep it from you, but he told me I had to. I didn’t even know he was coming here, otherwise I would have told you earlier.”“Yeah…right.”
“I like Orla. I always have, she’s sassy and bright and funny, and she’s always had the biggest hard on for you for whatever reason. I want her out of their hands too, but I trust Dempsey. I didn’t even know he was your brother until just now.”
I could see the hurt in her eyes and wondered if there was more to it than that, but I didn’t have time to sugarcoat it.
“Are you with us or them? If it came down to a war between Reapers and Rebels, who would you stand next to?”
“The Rebels. I am not a traitor.”
“We’ll see about that,” I said, viciously, before I moved off to join Ace and Hawk in church. I was still seething from everything that had taken place. Orla had been in enemies’ hands for almost a full day now, and I still hadn’t slept. I couldn’t.
“What did they say?”
“Keep Sheridan and the girls locked up tight,” I told him. “He’s wanting to trade, and I think we all knowSheridan would do that. He’s going to keep Orla safe as much as he can, with his men, and send updates.”
Ace nodded. “You’re okay with this?”
“I have to be.”
He nodded. “I’ll send Sheridan and the girls with Shae to hide out. Casey, get Morena to go with them.”
“No,” I said, quickly. “I don’t trust her.”
“You know Shae,” Ace said. “She came to us and told us about the threat.”
“A little late, don’t you think?” I shot back. “Isn’t it just a little bit convenient?”
“Do you trust your brother?” Hawk asked.
“I guess so.”
“Then maybe Shae can be trusted in this. She tried. Neal wants Sheridan, not Orla, and yet Sheridan was saved. Think about it.”
I didn’t want to admit I was wrong, but I possibly was about this.
