He rubbed his hands on the tops of his thighs. “You’re right. Angel’s well-being is the number one priority.”
I grunted.
His gaze met mine. “Some of your cousins will be here anytime from North Dakota. Abe, Micah, and Jonah.”
I blinked, utterly shocked. He called in reinforcements for my woman? And the others?
My dad’s cousin, Ben, was the president of the North Dakota chapter. Minnesota was mine. Last few years, Dad and Ben had been working on planting another chapter in Montana. One of Ben’s sons would hold the gavel. My old man wanted the Knights to occupy the northern states to make it easier running arms to the Italian Mafia up in Canada.
“I don’t know what to say. Thanks, I guess.”
“Don’t need to say anything. I should’ve come sooner. I knew you were struggling to get the Dirty Hunters out of Minnesota.”
I snorted. Of course, he knew.
He shrugged. “I’m glad Sugar called. Last thing I want is for you to lose your woman.” He stood, a small curl to his lip. “We need more Knights, y’know. To carry on Grandpa’s legacy.”
“Well, after getting taken, Madeline may want nothing to do with the club. Or me.” I rubbed my chest, right over my heart. That pain in my chest was as strong as ever.Could this be the event that makes her leave me?
“Nah. I doubt it. From what Sugar said, she’s strong and madly in love with you. She’s in it for the long haul. She’ll be bringing you little ones lickety-split.”
I hoped he was right.
“I can’t think about the future or kids right now. Saving and avenging Angel is all I’m capable of right now.” I stood from my chair and went around the desk.
“Then let’s do it.” He put his hand out to shake. I accepted with a grateful smile.
I’m coming for you, Angel. We’re all coming for you.
