Chapter 27 – Maddox
M y blood was cold, moving through my veins in slow motion as my brain locked out everything else but lethal focus.
Damon had Liv.
Dane had been at the loft working on some things while the girls were out for the afternoon together when he got an alert on his phone.
Crash Detected.
As soon as the chime from the alarm ended, the audio connected with the interior of Peyton’s car through his system. We were out the door before Peyton’s manic words registered through the speaker.
“Olivia, they’re coming. Run!”
But it was too late. All we could do was listen while I drove us across the city at breakneck speed as Damon Kirst kidnapped Liv right from Peyton’s crashed car. The way my body processed the news, in real time, and even now that she had officially been missing for eight hours, was familiar, yet new all in one.

And when I did, the earth would quake with my wrath.
