Lover At Last JR Ward 40310K 2023-08-31

Qhuinn&039;s whole life took another corkscrew about fifteen hours after he lost his virginity Later, he would decide that the coht be true When the shit went down, though, all he wanted to do was live through it

So the hours of the day, he and Blay had woken up, split up, gone their separate ways

Qhuinn would have preferred that they return to the ether, but he&039;d had to stop by Luchas&039;s rooet back to his place and shower And in a way, it hadn&039;t been all that bad, because Qhuinn had had a chance to check on Layla as well

When it came to his brother, and the Chosen, all was quiet on both fronts: The pair of them had been asleep in their respective beds - Luchas&039;s color was better, and for the first time, when Qhuinn had walked into Layla&039;s bedroonancy: The hormone wave had hit him as soon as he&039;d entered, and he&039;d stopped dead, it was so strong

Which had been really good

What he hadn&039;t been so happy about had been going by Blay&039;s door, and wanting to knock and duck inside - and go back to sleep

Instead, he&039;d ended up within his own four walls all by his loneso in and out of REM-landia for the two hours he had before First Meal was served

So when his door was throide and a lineup of tallin, his past and his present collided, the two becoeable - such that the attack by the Honor Guard juht in his roo or any of this was real, his first thought was that he was glad Blay wasn&039;t with hiuy had already found him dead at the side of the road once No one needed a replay on that

His second was that he was going to take out as many as he could before they finally finished the job on him

With a battle cry, Qhuinn exploded out of his bed, his naked body going on the attack with such power, he actually plowed over the first two s, he kicked and punched at anything that caets cursed and ju locked around his chest fro hiround and flew in a crazy circle -

Hellllllllllo, wall

The iht idea, his face, torso, and hips sla into the plaster so hard, he no doubt left a cartoon-style 3-D rep of himself on the shit

Instantly, he palmed the flat plane, prepared to shove his way off -

The grip that latched onto his nape and held hiht as well have been steel There was literally no give in the flesh and bone, even as he strained, his body refusing to be do chill before I&039;m forced to hurt you"

The sound of Vishous&039;s voicesense

And then abruptly, fro had for hirip on his neck

But they were not attacking

"Just relax," V said into his ear "Breathe forto hurt you"

The talking helped, that cool, calht response and turning down the volume on his panic&039;s roar

In the after the adrenaline "Vishous?"

"Yup It&039;s "

"Whoelse?"

"Rhage"

"Butch"

"Phury"

"Zsadist"

"Tohr"

The voices all matched the na into his brain, helping to ground himself in a reality that didn&039;t involve the past

And then the last one was the final rung of the ladder that got him out of that mental tailspin and back to as real "Wrath"

Qhuinn went to jerk his head toward the king, but the i to let you go, buddy, okay?" V said "You gonna mind your manners?"

"Yeah"

"On three One Two Three - "

Vishous leaped back and landed in a hand-to-hand combat pose: arms up, fists ready, stance stable In spite of the fact that the Brother&039;s face was covered by the hood, Qhuinn could just picture the expression: No doubt that if Qhuinn made any move, he&039;d be reintroduced to the wall - and that acquaintance had already been well and truly made, fuck him very much

He felt about six inches flatter

With a curse, Qhuinn turned around slowly, keeping his hands where the Brotherhood could see the me out of the house?"

He had no clue what the hell he&039;d done, but with his history of pissing people off - on purpose and by default? Could be anything

"No, you idiot," V said with a laugh

Facing the lineup of hooded, sole contact, reht with side by side, that they&039;d always had his back, that they&039;d worked together

So what the hell was going -

The third figure fro out and pointing to the dead center of Qhuinn&039;s chest

Instantly, Qhuinn was back in the carcass of the Cessna, the in-flight draoal reachedthathie, Wrath said, "You shall be asked a question You shall be asked it only once Your answer shall stand the test of ti out from this moment unto your bloodline forever more Are you prepared to be asked"

Qhuinn&039;s heart began to thunder Eyes bouncing around, he couldn&039;t believe that this was

Excepthoas it possible? Based on his bloodlines and his defect, it wasn&039;t legal for someone like hie of Saxton working in that library for all those nights hit him

Holyfuck

So many questions: Why hiically, bore theof the Brotherhood?
