I crawled on my hands and knees, my pistol still in my grasp. When I got to Colt, I pressed two fingers to the pulse of his neck. It was rapid but strong.
I let out a breath.
“No, get to safety,” he croaked, opening one eye.
“Hush.” I set my weapon next to me and pulled up his shirt to assess the damage. Not that I had any idea what I was looking for.
“Mia, get out of here, it’s not safe,” he gritted as I lowered his shirt and mashed it into his side to staunch the flow of blood.
“I’m not leaving you.”
Flynn bellowed from behind us and it jarred me out my stupor. I took Colt’s right hand and pressed it to his left side.
“Press here, and hold tight,” I said.
Adrenaline coursed through my veins. The love of my life, the last person in the world I could bear to lose had been shot by a man who was hell-bent on killing me and destroying everything I loved.
Anger, unlike anything I’d ever felt, burned inside of me, demolishing every last trace of fear.
I watched as the Iron Horsemen drove around, trying to circle Flynn and escape his men. One of the bikers approaching on a motorcycle caught my eye. It was Dev and his mask had slipped during the fight.
The bastard had made this personal.
I picked up my pistol, lifted myself slowly to balance on one knee, and locked eyes with Dev as his motorcycle roared.
The scent of bloody steel, oil, and gunpowder engulfed me in the faint stirring of the breeze.
I raised my pistol and gripped it with both hands, focused on my target, and fired.
Chapter 26
I staredinto a pair of cobalt blue eyes.
Flynn Campbell looked down at me with a gentle smile. “There you are.”
“Here I am,” I murmured. “What happened? Why am I flat on the ground?”
He scratched his jaw. “You—ah—might’ve hit your head when you were tackled.”
“Twice in one day,” I groaned. “Who took me down? You?”
“No. Ramsey did.”
“Ramsey? Who’s Ramsey?”
“For all intents and purposes, Ramsey is my younger brother.”
When I tried to move, Flynn crouched down next to me and gently placed his hand on my shoulder. “Take it easy. You might have a concussion.”
“Why are you here?” I asked. “I thought you and Barrett went back to Scotland.”
“We went home to visit the boys, but Colt called and—”
“Colt,” I demanded. “Where is he? Is he—”
“He was loaded into one of the first ambulances on the scene. Joni rode with him to the hospital.”
“Take me to him, please.
