Entangled Page 9
Shit.
Looking to Dean, then Marc and the rest of the men filling the waiting room, I decide this can wait for tomorrow. Tonight is about Mitch and Alison. Come tomorrow, though, I’m going after Ian with Marc and putting an end to the motherfucker who helped someone like Enya’s stepfather.
I’ll have my answers.
Epilogue
Enya
Three Months Later
“Are you sure?” Alison asks, eyes wide in surprise as she stares at me from across the table. She then moves her gaze to Lillian and Zoe.
I’d just asked her to come work here at the bookstore. She likes volunteering at the school but she didn’t want to leave the twins for longer than she had to. Here she could have them with her and keep an eye on them.
They’d been born early and spent a while in the NICU before finally being able to come home. Now that they are, she’s nervous about having anyone watch them. Lillian offered to watch them while here during the time Alison was here so she could be close to them. We’d converted the apartment upstairs into a play area and nursery-type area for kids since Ryland spends a lot of time here with me.
I love having him here, and it means I also get to spend time with Lillian.
“Yeah, I’m sure. I want you to come work with us. It gives you something to do. It gets you out of the house and you keep your sanity. Don’t forget the fact you love reading just as much as I do. Plus, I’m going to need the help,” I murmur and bite my bottom lip.
I took a test this morning and showed it to Kenyon when he came into the bathroom to brush his teeth. He took one look at the test, tossed it into the sink, and carried me to bed, where he showed me how much he loved the fact we’re expanding our family.
“Hold up, you’re pregnant?” Zoe whisper yells, not wanting to disturb the babies lying in their car seats. If didn’t see it with my own eyes, I’d swear I’d missed the hint of hurt flicker behind her eyes.
I nod in response getting a squeal of delight from her as she seems truly happy and get smiles from Lillian and Alison. Bridget would have joined us if Liam hadn’t been running a fever. Between the baby and her toddler, she’s got her hands full.
“Well then, I’ll gladly accept your offer,” Alison says, a smile lighting her face up.
Customers start pouring inside, and I smile at them as Zoe and I both get up to move to our stations. Several of the customers who come in work with Kenyon and come here to get their coffee from Zoe.
The door opens again and the man himself comes inside with Marc in tow. I haven’t seen him since the night Mitch and Alison’s twins were born.
“Hey, Marc,” I greet him and notice out of the corner of my eye that Zoe stiffens.
She’s still not been herself, even if she has tried to put on a charade for all of us to think she’s okay.
I know my friend, and I want to know what’s going on.
Does it have to do with Marc?
I don’t know but sooner or later, I’ll find out. Maybe she needs to get out of here for a while. That might help her work through the sadness.
Shaking the idea off, I smile at Kenyon. Today’s supposed to be a happy day. I have my family and I have my friends. I also have the ring on my finger where Kenyon stole me away for a weekend trip to Vegas where we got married. Just the two of us there.
Talk about some upset friends when they found out. But they quickly got over it when we agreed to have a party to celebrate. My father and brothers came along with Kenyon’s family.
It’s strange to think I went from not wanting to meet the man my mom said was my father to enjoying seeing him when he comes to visit. And my brothers too. My father’s wife even came the last time and I’d been a nervous wreck about meeting her, but she’d met me with open arms the day we were introduced.
Evidently, my mother’s news of losing the baby hurt my father, and he’d treated his wife like a precious jewel after they married. She knew all about my mother and didn’t mind the fact my father had been in love with another woman.
She’s kept in touch just as much as my father and brothers.
Kenyon rounds the counter and pulls me into his arms before lowering his head to capture my lips with his in a wonderful kiss.
“What are you doing here?” I ask breathlessly when he pulls his lips away from mine.
“Had to come see my aingeal álainn.” He grins.
Rolling my eyes, I lean more of my weight into him.
“And why is that?” I giggle.
“Because I fuckin’ love seeing that smile and look forward to seeing it while your stomach grows our child inside you,” he whispers, and my heart skips a beat.
“I love you too, Kenyon. So much,” I utter quietly and send a prayer up to whoever put him in my path and entangled my heart and soul with his.
It’s the best feeling in the world and I look forward to what our future holds. Ours and our family’s.
I only hope that Lillian and Zoe both find the happiness they deserve. That maybe they find it one day, hopefully, sooner rather than later.
Who knows, I did hear Kit-Kat put a pool together on who’s next. I wonder if I should get in on the action and say Zoe’s up next, and someone will ensnare her heart once and for all rather than it being constantly hurt.
The End.

Dear Readers,
I hope you enjoyed reading Entangled. It was fun writing Kenyon and Enya’s story. Seeing the two of them connecting on such a level is awesome. What did you think of Lillian and Zoe? Do you think they’ll be getting a book? My lips are sealed on this one, but I will tell you the next book to come out is Ensnared. It’ll release this summer. I’m betting you’re wondering whose book it will be, well you’ll have to wait until then to find out. Trust me it’ll be worth the wait.
I promise there’s more books to come between now and then.
Sincerely,
E.C.

Axe’s Devotion
She’s a new face and something I need to have.
Axe
Everyone left and now I’m picking up the pieces. After the fire, what could I expect?
We know who was behind it and the club is ready for a fight. No one fucks with us and gets away with it, but I’d be lyin’ if I said I wasn’t distracted.
I can’t stop staring at her. There are plenty of reasons I shouldn’t go after her, the biggest being she’s Kenny’s friend, but I couldn’t care less.
When I see something I want, I go after it, regardless of if there’s a threat right around the corner.
Nora’s Outrage
Nora’s Outrage
Nora
After all Breaker and I went through when we first got together, you would think it would all be downhill from here. No one should have to go through what we have. The drama has been swirling around the club for a while now and it seems the danger attached is coming our way once again.
In a way that could change everything.
I’m not ready for the outcome or even the rage that becomes all-consuming. Screaming in outrage, I vow to make those who come after the ones I care about endure the same pain they cause with their actions.
Protecting Blaze’s Mark
Protecting Blaze’s Mark
Raven
I’ve been on a ride through hell and back with Blaze at my side. We’ve taken on more than anyone could bear.
Now here we are with our world being tossed into the fire and it’s time for us to protect ourselves once again. This time I’m clouded by my own fears that arise. I only hope I can withstand the flames when they come for us this time around.
Either way, I refuse to let anything happen to my children or the man who keeps me grounded.
Tyres’ Wraith
Tyres
I’ve been through shit in my life, both literally and figuratively, but as the VP of the Inferno’s Clutch MC, I signed up for it. The one person who didn’t sign up for it is my darling little girl, Wren.
It’s just her, me, and the club.
For a kid her age, she’s been through it, too, especially considering she was kidnapped not too long ago. Finding out about her made me change a lot. I’m no longer the reckless S.O.B. who’d pull out his gun without even thinking. Now I’m calculating, knowing at the end of the day I have to get back home to her.
But hell, being a single dad isn’t easy. I get as much help from the club as I can, but sometimes it’s just too much. Tiny recommends I get some help, ‘cause Wren can’t keep sleeping in my bed at the club, so I tell her I’ll think about it. Never did I anticipate the woman would take it upon herself to hire a nanny for me, and she’s a vision.
I know I’m asking for trouble . . . but I don’t give a flying fuck.
Keeping Reaper
Reaper
Being the Prez of the Satan’s Keepers MC has its perks. Women throwing themselves at you happens to be one of them. I usually have a steady flock of ladies I can choose from, but one night at the bar, there’s a sassy woman who stands out more than the rest. Suddenly, no one else matters.
She’s hot, spirited, and has a bangin’ body.
It’s a one-night stand and that’s all I think it is until I find out where she works. Suddenly my one-night stand becomes someone I’ll be seeing on more than one occasion.
Ivy has a hard time swallowing that pill, but she’ll get used to it. If she doesn’t, I’ll just have to do whatever it takes to change her mind.
Viking
She was mine before she even knew it.
Viking
I claimed her the day she turned eighteen. I knew the second I saw her, I wanted Fawn to be mine, so I laid down the law and ensured any brother, near or far, would never even glance in her direction.
She’s been running from me for long enough, but now it’s time to take what’s mine. She’s not a teenager anymore, but instead, she’s a woman. A woman who’s experienced life, who partied in college, traveled, not to mention many other things. I’ve given her space to grow and now it’s time she comes home.
Still, Fawn wants to run. She wants to get far away from the club life, but as a creep comes out of the woodwork and starts stalking her, she turns to me for help.
I’ll do anything for her, even if she tries to keep running. With any luck through this, she’ll realize she’s only meant to be one place—by my side.
Spiral into Chaos
Spiral into Chaos
Bane
When she
was shot, I knew what I needed to do.
It was months ago and I’m still seeking revenge for Emery. I don’t know why I am in the first place. She’s arrogant, sassy, and always thinks she’s right. Everything about her aggravates me, even the fact she’s doing a job I think only men should.
Yet, why the hell do I even give a damn about her?
I’m still trying to figure out the answer, but I know I want her, even if I can’t stand her. Watching her blood spill on the ground was unlike any other shooting I’ve witnessed.
I’ll find the people responsible for this, one way or another.
