Scarlet's pov

I was genuinely concerned about Beatrice, and the attitude that we were going to get from Jay? Yeah, God help all of us.

That was one problem, and the other problem was that, now we knew that there was going to be someone to keep an eye on us or cause trouble and see how we handled things. Which both is not good.

Xaden was pacing around the office, and Kai was just waiting for orders. I have no idea what this meant or what the heck we were supposed to do.

The door got kicked open and Declan was panting when he came inside. This is not good. Xaden stopped pacing and looked at Declan, but Declan was just trying to catch his breath. Did he really run down here?

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Xaden growled. Yep, he was not in a good mood.

"I – I just got a text from Beatrice," Declan spoke, and as is her name only, summoned Jay because he was already in the room behind Declan listening closely what he was about to say. "She informed me that, Dimitri is going to our club. He will be there, but I don't know for what."

"Fuck! That's not good. That's not good at all." Xaden started pacing again, rubbing his head. I didn't want to get close to him because I knew he would refuse me right now, so I just kept my distance.

"Okay, wait. Even though we have never mentioned to media or in fact anywhere that we are together, they would still know that in fact we are. Me working in your club as a bartender would raise questions, no?" I asked.

Xaden stopped pacing again and looked at me, "No, because no one actually knows that you are Scar. They already know that you work in my club, no need to mention that we are together. If they notice, there is nothing to hide, but I will make sure we met at the club and things happened."

Okay, maybe that was right, but now I was starting to panic because we don't even have time to prepare for this shit. But the problem was if they were listening in to our conversation, Dimitri would know that I was in contact with Xaden. I mentioned that small fact to Xaden, but he said we would know everything for sure when we see Dimitri.

Fucking hell, everything started to come all together again. I was still in my thoughts when Xaden's phone rang.

"Speak," as soon as X said that his face expression was changed and he was just nodding his head, but to be honest he looked like he wanted to kill the other person.

And just like that, he hung up the phone and looked at us while speaking, "It was Garik, he said that they already booked a boot at our club just waiting for my permission."

"I mean, we can't back down, it's our club, we will be there and take care of whatever shit we encounter with." It was Kai who spoke.

I was also thinking the same thing, there was no way for us that we can back down, they will know something was wrong. We didn't have that option, if we wanted to keep Alice's safety, we needed to play by their rules.

"Alright, everyone get ready. We're going for a party." X said. And I think he lost his mind, because we were definitely not going to party.

I can't get this fucking strap right. It's been maybe thirty minutes that I was trying to wrap this goddamn strap to my leg so I can attach my daggers on it, but I couldn't fucking strap it.
