Evening Primrose (Devil's Hornets MC Book 2) by Kathryn Thomas Page A

say that they want a piece of the East Side for their product Reaper Dust, but they can’t sell where we do. They’ve been asking semi-nicely, but last night they grew very cocky and demanding. I guess they knew they had a powerful piece to bargain with.” Jack felt cold, but he knew they wouldn’t kill her because they needed her for what they wanted. It was his hope that they didn’t damage her. She was such a sweet person, and he doubted they would care much about that.
     
    Kahuna’s phone rang, and he picked it up to talk. Jack was trying to hear what was going on based on the side of the conversation he’d heard, but it wasn’t that simple. The president knew how to keep the conversation vague so no one knew what was discussed and how he felt about it. Jack did the same thing, but it was annoying as hell when you wanted, no, needed, the information. He ended the call and looked over at Jack.
     
    “Well, what did you find out?”
     
    “I think I know where she is, but we’re going to have to go over there to get her out. They have it all blocked off and practically all of their members are there. It’s not like they are going out of their way to hide where she is. I think they want us to come get her, but it’s going to be a fight.” Kahuna was texting, and Jack knew he was getting the army together. A war had been declared, and Jack was ready to fight. He just hoped Natalie wasn’t one of the casualties.
     
    Jack was getting up to grab a drink before the battle began when Kahuna came over to him.
     
    “We are going to need to talk about the trust factor in this. I know now is not the time, but all of this could have been alleviated if we would have known something was going on with you and the flower girl. You should have told us. Now she is a pawn, and we look bad. Unable to protect our customer and distrust within the ranks. That’s how they knew how to hit us. You let deceit creep in this house and break into the brotherhood.”
     
    Jack didn’t know what to say about that because first it was true, and second now wasn’t the damn time for all that. He knew it was something that would have to be dealt with, but for everything that was ever considered holy… not now.
     
    “We will deal with that later. You all but admitted Natalie was your woman, and she’s going through hell for something that isn’t her battle,” Kahuna walked over to the shelf and picked up the small cassette tape. “You should at least see what your deceit has brought to her.”
     
    Fuck. When he put it that way, Jack wanted to punch himself. He took the tape from Kahuna and wanted to crush it, but the man was right. Since Natalie had to go through it, he should at least see it… so he could avenge it. He’d never backed down from anything, but just thinking about what was on that tape was making him feel like lava was going to be flowing out of his ears.

 
     
    CHAPTER EIGHT
     
    Jack didn’t remember a time when he’d ever been so angry. There were almost no words, but he’d have to find them. Kahuna had found where they were holding Natalie, and they were all heading out. A few of them jumped in the van they kept the heavy artillery in just in case they had to blast their way into their compound. They were going to take the van in a different way to the site and hope that everyone would be watching the large show of Devil’s Hornets arrive on motorcycle. The van was so silent Jack thought he’d go mad because he could almost hear her in the absence of sound. When Jack’s phone rang and the caller ID showed the call was coming from Natalie, he couldn’t have been more surprised. It was like he’d summoned her with his thoughts.
     
    “Hello,” Jack said and hoped like hell Natalie was on the other end of the line.
     
    “You’ve probably gotten my tape by now.” The voice on the other side of the line was the leader of the Reapers, Elderwood Johnson. He’d know his voice anywhere, especially since
