“And I could kill you right now,” I assert, taking a step forward as my hand hovers over the gun in my waistband. “Where is she?”

He sighs. “Baton Rouge General, but don’t think this is over.”

“That’s where you’re wrong,” I snarl, turning and walking out of the room without waiting for a response. Everyone files outside, including Nix, Emma, and Rodriguez, and I nod to them as I jump on my bike and fire it up. I don’t wait for anyone else as I peel out of the parking lot and no one stops me. They’ll catch up eventually but I’m getting to my girl now. Pulling down on the throttle, I speed up, racing through a yellow light as a car horn bellows. They can go fuck themselves. Nothing is stopping me now.

When I pull up in front of the hospital, I park my bike in a spot and jump off before running through the door. I spot a nurse and I sprint to the desk she’s working at.

“I need to find my fiancée. She was brought in here a little while ago.”

She nods. “Name?”

“Tatum Carter.”

She types something before glancing up at me with a sympathetic expression and my heart stalls.

Please tell me she’s okay.

She has to be okay.

“Second floor. Room 208.”

I nod. “Thank you.”

Turning away from the desk, I decide to take the stairs instead of waiting on the elevator and people shoot me looks as I race past them but I don’t give a fuck. No one in this hospital is as important as my girl. Once I get to the second floor, I find a sign and race down the hallway until I skid to a stop in front of room 208.

Sucking in a breath, I step forward and my pulse spikes when I see her lying in the middle of the bed with wires and tubes all over her. Her arm is covered in bandages and a tear slips down my cheek as I walk forward and grab her hand.

“I’m so sorry, baby,” I whisper, kissing her hand and willing her to open her eyes. Apart of the bandages covering her left arm, she doesn’t look too worse for wear but from all the work I’ve done with the club, I know all the hard work is still in front of us. I will stand by her through it all, though. “Eyes on me, gorgeous. You don’t get to leave me anytime soon.”
