When Darkness Comes: Book 1 Dark Trilogy

Chapter 27 Flash From the Past

Gabriel's POV

I was in and out of sleep all night long. I was worried about Sang. Even though she was under her covers, when Luke and I climbed in to comfort here through the raging storm, she was ice cold and her body convulsed uncontrollably.

Luke exclaimed, "She's freezing!"

My brain clicked, the only way to help that is through body heat. And the best form of sharing body heat is being naked. I would say for us to just keep our boxers on, but they were damp too. Everything we all had was wet. Fucking rain!

"Survival 101" I responded. I felt Luke nod and start moving to remove his clothes. I was holding Sang in my arms until Luke could trade with me. Sang's body shook violently, then her eyes closed and she went limp. I would normally have freaked out but her breathing was steady. I figured this was what her mind needed to get through the storm.

At some point in the night, Sang had draped her leg over my waist. And her arm was over my chest. I felt better knowing she had moved enough to do that. She would be fine come morning. I was laying on my back and could care less that any of my brothers might see I'm naked.

I remembered back to the night Trouble got shot. After all of us had carried her or her pack, and we continued to watch her as she laid unmoving, my heart clenched painfully. This little thing had somehow captured the attention of all of us. ALL FUCKING NINE OF US! What a shit thing to happen when the world is coming to an end.

But that was why we had a family meeting. Owen saw how we all would reach out and touch her, and how we all looked at her and he admitted that never had a woman ever captured his attention for any length of time, but for whatever reason, Sang had.

Owen then asked us all, "Which of you would like to possibly have a relationship with Sang?"

We all looked around at each other with narrowed eyes when Victor raised his hand. My eyes went wide ready to yell profanities at him, but Luke nodded, "Me too bro." Luke chuckled and lightly punched Victor's shoulder.

"You two would not be alone. She is like an angel that fell from the sky. And cupid shot his arrows right to my heart." Silas, the big ass motherfucking dirty Greek God announces almost poetically.

"Well shit! I want to fucking date her, or whatever it will be called now that the world is ending. But with Silas's Greek Godliness and Luke's Abercrombie and Fitch model looks and all the skills the rest of you fuckers possess, I don't have a fucking chance in hell." I sighed. Why do you always seem to find the right person at exactly the wrong time?

"Gabe might have just said the most important thing in all of this." Sean spoke up. I looked at him, my being inadequate is the most important thing? Way to stab a guy in the back Doc!

"What would that be Doc...I mean Sean?" Kota asked.

Sean continued, "Well if the saying is correct, when the world ends, only the strong will survive."
