Page 71 of Rage’s Rose

“I don’t think so.”

I walk over to Rose and kneel down in front of her.

“Are you okay, baby? Did he fucking—shit. Did he—did he?”

She shakes her head apparently understanding what I am asking, “No, he didn’t hurt me like that. I promise you got here just in time. Thank you.”

I put a hand on her cheek gently, “Always. I’m always going to find you baby. They are going to pay for everything I promise.”

She’s crying and I reach down and untie her hands. After her hands are free she throws herself in my arms and breaks down. I scoop her up and she wraps her legs around my waist. Checking around the room, I see that Whip has grabbed and tied up Sin. Lash has the stupid asshole that apparently can’t take no for an answer and Dragon and Twister are standing next to Ash who also is tied up.

I walk out of the room past my brothers and head towards the truck that Whip and I came in. I open the door and set Rose down on the seat so she is facing me. I step in between her legs. I move my hand to gently cup her cheek and move her head as I look at what was done to her.

“What did he do to you?”

She moves her hand around her face, “He backhanded me a few times when I wouldn’t do what he wanted. When we got here it was a couple punches for talking back. I don’t know, he beat me. I’m sore, but that’s not important. Is Reid okay? What about Brynley? My uncle’s men? The prospects?”

She is trying so hard to be strong, but she’s got tears streaming down her face and I gently wipe some away.

“I need you to calm down, baby. You just went through some shit and your postpartum, so we are going to have to get you to the hospital. First I need to get something to cover you up. Then I’ll answer your questions, okay? I just need you to breathe for me.”

She nods her head and I move to the back of the truck where I have a bag of my stuff and grab my hoodie. I walk back to her and place it over her head and her arms.

“I don’t have any pants that are going to fit you, what happened to the clothes you were wearing?”

“He threw them somewhere in there. They were ruined anyway, he ripped them off of me when I wouldn’t strip for him.”

I bite down the fuckin’ growl that I feel rise in me. I feel the need to go back in there and kill him.

“Are they really just going to take them out of that room butt ass naked?”

Rose says and I look up at her and she’s looking over my shoulder. When I turn my head to see what she is looking at I chuckle at the crazy bitches thrashing around and screaming butt ass naked with their hands tied together.

“Yeah, it’ll be fine. They are going to the van and then the Hole after that.” I say and look back at her. “So you asked a lot of questions a minute ago and I’m going to answer the best that I can right now. Reid is fine, he’s with my dad. I’ll give him a call on the way to the hospital, but chances are he is already there. Brynley was brought there by ambulance, I don’t know what her condition is. Abby and Sutton are fine, real shook up, but they were unharmed physically. As far as the prospects go, they are gone. They were both shot in the head. Only one of your uncle’s men is alive and he was brought to the hospital too. I do not know his status either. But we can find out once we get there because we are heading that way.”

Whip comes over and stands next to me, “Good to see you in one piece little sister.”

Before she can reply he slaps his hand on my shoulder and winks at me.

“Let’s get you to the hospital to get checked out.”

He rounds the truck and gets in the driver seat.

“Baby, you sit in the front, okay. I’ll be in the back.”

She nods her head and I place a kiss on her lips before helping her shut the door and hop in the back of the truck.

Chapter Thirty-Two

Rose

This day has been a nightmare that I keep living on reply over and over in my head since Rage got me out of that hotel room. I know if he would have been a minute or two later I would be telling a different story. Everything just happened so fast, yet seemed like it was happening in slow motion. It still doesn’t make sense. I don’t understand how it all happened and how they were able to do what they did.

I’ve been sitting in this hospital bed for two hours now trying to figure everything out and I can’t. I watch the man in the chair next to me as he holds our baby boy and I am relieved that Reid was not hurt in this whole situation, but I am terrified about what could possibly happen to Brynley.

“Have you heard anything?” I ask Rage.

He looks up at me and gives me a sad smile.
