Maxen POV

I worry for Jax. He’s been gone far too long. I hope he has escaped and gone back to Mi Alma ... Mi Alma .

She must be so worried, so angry. I hope she didn’t think we left, we would never do that to her.

The chains on my hands dig in, making me wince, but suddenly, the door to the cell is being ripped open.

Soldiers surge inside before we can even get to our exhausted, weary feet.

The blood crusted on our skin, the sweat dried on our bodies, and the lack of food makes us slower than normal.

Still, we fight, but they get the upper hand, and we are pushed into the wall and chained together.

“What the fuck are you doing?” I snarl, but they ignore me.

A blindfold is forced over my eyes even as I struggle, and then a gag is shoved into my mouth, muffling my yell.

We are yanked from the room. I can’t see, can barely hear.

I stumble as I am led somewhere with my friends behind me.

I stay quiet, turning my hands in the chains.

I can use them as a weapon if I need to.

A moment later we are in an elevator, I can tell when we start to rise. The doors open with a ding, and after more walking, we are shoved inside a carpeted room. I hear men murmuring and snarl, but something has me stilling.

It’s her.

I know it is, I can smell her. Hear their whispers about her.

It’s my love.

I start to struggle, to get to her as another woman’s voice rings across the room. Regina the cunt. “These men?” There’s a pause. “I think you will find they were my men before they were yours. ”

The words make me sick as I fight harder, wanting to scream that she’s a liar. Mi Alma has to know it’s all lies. We are hers.

Then her voice comes, and I sag from simply hearing her, from knowing she is okay. She’s alive and well… and she came for us?

“You wouldn’t know what to do with them. Lose the gags and blindfolds,” she snaps in that sexy as fuck controlling tone that has my shoulders rounding. She shouldn’t be here, they will kill her, yet I can’t stop the joy and relief from flowing through me.

I would have found a way back to her, but here she is finding her way to us.

Like a fucking queen.
