Chapter 10
Chapter Ten
Justice
Fuck me.
That shit was intense to the point I felt it through her when I’d been touching her. I heard the voices fill my own damn head when she sagged against me. I wanted to scoop her up and carry her the fuck out of there but restrained myself from doing just that.
If that’s what she hears all the damn time, I could understand her reasons for doing what she did. Still, it doesn’t make it any less fucked up and weak.
I was gonna have to find a way to help her control or put up a shield around those thoughts that fuck with her head as they do. My brothers and the women in this club have thoughts I don’t ever want to hear again.
Especially the doxies.
One of the reasons I had to get her back to my room and away from so many was because of them. I was ready to beat the hell out of them for their thoughts, and I don’t hit women.
It’s not my thing.
Finding my way back to the main room of the clubhouse, I find Zavier standing with his brother and mate. Corbin was gone, but Dane, Tucker, and the others were sitting around a table talking. Lake and Raine were seated on a couch not far from their men.
Eyes come to me as I step into the room. I move to my brothers and look at Tobias and Jett, Lion, whatever Jett was gonna go by now. “Need you two to go to Annahi’s place. There’s a bag from the psych shop, grab it and bring it back.”
“We’ll go get it,” Clara says, coming to where I was talking to my brothers. “We’ll get some of her things, I’m sure she’d want as well.”
I nod and look behind her to Zaid. “Fine, but bring everything back here.”
“She okay?” Zaid asks.
“She will be,” I tell him, dismissing them both. I wasn’t about to tell them what happened. It wasn’t any of their business. My brothers, though, that was a different matter.
Zaid nods and takes Clara’s hand to do as they volunteered to do.
Zavier joins me as I take a seat at the table.
“Since Zavier’s brother and mate are gonna go get Annahi’s things, you two go get something from Raider’s Hook. The soup, a sandwich, pasta, I don’t give a fuck what, just get enough of what’s on the menu for Annahi to pick from.”
Both men nod and get up without a word, heading for the doors to do as I ordered.
I didn’t like the fact that all she typically eats is sandwiches or salads. No wonder she’s so damn thin. The woman barely eats shit. My beast claws at my insides in agreement.
“The fuck was that shit, VP?” Coby, our hacker, asks. I’m surprised to find him not with a tablet or his laptop in front of him.
“I was testing a theory with my mate. She’s a telepath and doesn’t have control of it.
When I’m touching her, she no longer hears the voices of those around her in her head, but I do,” I tell them, making sure to meet each of their gazes.
“Some of y’all think of your fuckin’ dicks way too damn much. ”
My last words were met with several chuckles while a few grinned.
I meet Tucker’s gaze especially. “I don’t need to know about you locking your dick into Lake’s pussy, man. Rein that shit in.”
“Fuck. That shit ain’t for you to know about either.”
“Annahi’s gonna have to learn to shield her mind, but until then, you all need to shield your thoughts,” I state sternly.
I’m learning there’s no control over whether I want her as my mate or not. She’s mine, and I’ve got to do whatever it takes to make it so she’s safe and feels that way at all times when she’s here.
“We’ll do our best,” Zavier remarks, nodding along with my brothers.
“Appreciate it,” I grunt and stand. “Now, I’ve got to take care of other business. Dane, Tucker, with me.”
They don’t question me as I order this, they do as I say and get to their feet.
I turn my attention to the corner where all the doxies were sitting.
Big Red and Saddle perk up, both of them give me a smile that makes my gut tighten, not in a good way.
The sight of them makes me want to hit something.
“Hey, Justice,” Saddle purrs.
“Ready to play with us?” Big Red asks, batting her lashes.
“You two, get your shit packed up and get the fuck out,” I order them.
“What?” Saddle’s head jerks back, like she wasn’t sure she heard me right.
“You heard me,” I tell her, and look around at the rest of the doxies. “You even think to harm one of the ol’ ladies that belong to me or my brothers, and you’ll also find your asses out on the street.”
“But we didn’t do anything wrong,” Big Red protests.
“You and Saddle were scheming to get rid of my mate,” I snarl, enjoying the flinch both women grant me.
“You both wanted her dead.” I turn to Saddle and sneer down at her.
“You were thinking about how she should have slit her throat, not her wrists.” Turning to Big Red and ignoring the wide eyes of Saddle, I continue, “You were thinking about how you wanted to fuck me while watching her bleed out.”
The thought of what they were thinking makes my stomach sick. I can’t even think about the fact that I’ve had my cock in either of these bitches.
Behind me, Dane and Tucker snarl.
“Both of you will get your shit and be grateful I’m letting you walk the fuck out of here,” I tell them and turn to my brothers.
“I want the two of you to make sure they take only what’s theirs.
No electronics.” Turning back to the sick bitches I curl a lip.
“You show up at any business that belongs to the Spiked Raiders MC, and you’ll find your asses not thrown out but just as you wished upon my mate. Dead. Got me?”
Big Red and Saddle both nod and scramble to get to their feet.
Dane and Tucker follow after them without a word. I picked the two of them because they would know exactly what I was feeling right about now and would make sure they didn’t leave here feeling a sense of anything but discomfort as they packed and got the fuck off club property.
With them taken care of, I move back to the table where the others were still sitting around and look to Zavier as I take a seat.
“You really hear that shit?” he asks.
I nod and let out a heavy breath. “Yeah, it’s weird as fuck, but when I wrapped an arm around Annahi’s shoulder and she sagged into me, I heard all of that shit and more.” I give him a look, so he knew I was talking about him.
Zavier sighs and leans back in his chair. “I’m trying, VP.”
“Get it.” I did. His mate was in a coma because of blood witches, and he couldn’t even claim her.
Annahi wasn’t a blood witch, though. In the moments I’ve spent with her, I realized that. She wouldn’t have tried to kill herself if she were.
“We’ll discuss all of this in church with the others later, but for now, Coby, I want you to look into Annahi’s past.”
“Already on it, VP.” Coby snorts and gets to his feet. “I was simply taking a break while my babies did their thing.”
I nod and get to my own feet. My beast was clawing at my insides, wanting to get back to Annahi. “When Tobias and Jett get back, tell them to just bring the food straight to my room. Same with Zaid and Clara when they get back with the stuff from my mate’s place.”
“I’ll tell them.” Zavier grunts, nodding. “I’ll also come with them to check the bandages.”
“Appreciate it.”
Leaving him at the table, I head back to my room, knowing in my gut I’ll find Annahi still in the middle of my bed, curled into herself.
I didn’t like the sight of her like that, and I wanted to make things better for her.
If the tea helped, she’d have it. For now, at least. She was gonna have to learn how to handle her gift, meaning I was gonna have to call in reinforcements.
Sibley is my first choice. She’s had more than enough years in her long, eternal life to be able to help Annahi, and I knew she would do it.
