Chapter Thirty-Four

Flame

The bunnies are walking around seriously happy with themselves. I still don"t know who caused the issue, but they"re all acting like their shit doesn't stink. God, I wish we could do away with them. I just shake my head as I pass them on the way to Wrath"s office.

Knocking on the door, I wait.

"Come in."Wrath shouts from inside the office.

"Come on, we"re going out,"I tell him as I pop my head into his office.

I"ve got a surprise for him; I just hope it goes over okay.

"And where are we going?"He says with a smile.

"That"s a surprise; just get that sexy ass up and moving. Places to be and all that shit."I say, laughing.

"Don"t start talking to me about sexy asses; I haven"t had yours in days with everything going on, and I"m dying here. So if you don"t want me ruining whatever you have planned and dragging you home to fuck the hell out of you, I"d shut it."He laughs at me when he sees my eyes heat at his words.

"Fuck babe. As much as I"d love that, no, you"re not ruining my plans. Move it."I clap my hands together to emphasize my point.

Moving from behind his desk, he follows me out of the room. Making our way outside, I straddle my Harley and pull on my helmet, waiting for him to follow my lead. He follows me out of The Compound, and I point my bike towards Devil"s Point Town Hall.

It takes fifteen minutes to get there, and when we pull up outside and take our helmets off, Wrath looks at me confused.

"Come on, in we go,"I tell him before I hop off my Harley and make my way towards the doors.

I know I"m being a dick by not just telling him why we"re here, but I"m having a little bit too much fun with the suspense I"m keeping him in.

"What're we doing here?"He asks me, still confused.

"Oh, didn"t I mention?"I say with a cheeky smile, "We"re getting married."

I can"t help but laugh after I drop that bomb on him. He looks utterly shocked and has stopped walking.

"What do you mean we"re getting married?"He asks me, shocked.

"What I mean is, we"ve waited long enough to be together, and neither of us is a massive fan of over-the-top shit, so we"re going in there and having a low-key wedding. I want to be your husband."I tell him seriously, letting him see in my eyes how much I want this.

"Are you sure about this?"He asks me, looking slightly worried.

"Of course I"m sure; I"ve always known if I ever got married, it"d be to you. We"ve waited long enough to be together. I want to be your husband more than anything, but if you don"t want that, tell me now, and I"ll never bring it up again. We"ll forget this ever happened."My voice is full of emotion.

I"m worried he might not want this. Shit, was this a stupid idea?

"Come on, we"re getting married."He grabs my hand and pulls me inside. I can"t stop the wide smile that takes over my face. I"m so relieved by his answer.

Thirty minutes later, we"re back on our Harleys on our way home. We did it; we"re married. I"m no longer Hunter ‘Flame' Daniels; I"m now Hunter ‘Flame' Jacobson. All I"ve ever wanted is Wrath, and now he"s tied to me for life; he"s my husband. Fuck, I love the sound of that.

Traveling down the road, I"m lost in thought about how happy I am. I don"t see the truck that comes out of nowhere crashing into the back of my bike, sending my bike flying through the air with me on it. I fly over the handlebars and land hard. Fuck, that hurt. I was behind Wrath and have no idea if he knows what happened. I lie there, trying to take account of my body and any injuries I might have, when I realize the truck that hit me hasn"t stopped; it"s still flying down the road.

Fuck, he"s going after Wrath too. This has got to be Claire or one of Claire"s guys; it"s the only thing that makes sense. I"m trying my hardest to move, but I can"t, the pain is too much. Lying there, unable to move, I watch in horror as the driver of the truck repeats the same move on Wrath, crashing into the back of his Harley. Wrath manages to keep more control than I did, though. His Harley skids across the road, with him still holding on. The truck stops next to him, and the driver gets out. From here, I can tell it"s not Claire; the driver"s male; he"s got a massive build. Slowly walking over to Wrath, he pulls his bike off him before turning him over and tying his hands together with zip ties. He then lifts him over his shoulder and throws him into the back of his truck. I feel fucking useless right now. I can"t move my body at all, and some fucker is taking my husband!

Once he"s thrown Wrath in, he climbs in the driver"s seat, but instead of taking off, he"s reversing down the road towards me. Fuck, he"s going to take us both. Quickly grabbing my phone out of my back pocket, I click the little symbol on the screen that will send an emergency alert to Tech. It"s literally the only thing I can do right now. Thank fuck, my phone is still working. I just hope it helps them find us. There"s no doubt in my mind; we're both about to be taken. Parking next to where I"m down, he gets out and walks towards me without a care in the world. Seeing I"m awake, he laughs before saying, "Two down, one to go."

Yeah, definitely Claire"s guy, then. Flipping me over, he zip-ties my hands together before throwing me in with Wrath. As I land, my head hits the floor hard, and that"s all my body can take. My vision goes black, and I'm out.

When I wake up, it"s not like the last time I was taken. I"m not confused this time; this time I remember everything that happened. I try to move but can"t; I"m tied to a chair. Turning my head to the left, all I see is a door; when I turn it right, my blood runs cold. Wrath is tied to a chair next to me, still unconscious.

"Babe. Wrath. Jackson."

I just keep repeating the same words over and over again, hoping he"ll come too.

About five minutes later, I noticed his eyelids fluttering.

"Babe. Are you with me?"I ask quietly.

I have no idea if anyone is listening in or watching us, but I need to know he"s okay.

"Yeah, I"m with you."He groans out. "What happened?"

"Well, we got married; instead of a honeymoon, we got run off the road and taken,"I tell him quietly while trying to make light of the fucked-up situation we're in.

"Fuck, that"s not good. I remember crashing, and that"s it; everything is blank. What about you?"He asks me worriedly.

"I was awake when you crashed. He"d already crashed into me, but I couldn"t move. I had to fucking lie there watching him crash into you, and then as he tied you up and put you in the truck. Once he had you sorted, he reversed down to get me. When he saw I was awake, he laughed and told me two down, one to go. So clearly, Claire"s behind this. All she"s missing is Shadow."I tell him while taking deep breaths.

It"s hurting to breathe. I definitely suffered some internal damage during the crash. This isn"t good.

"I managed to hit the emergency alert on my phone before he got me."I manage to tell him as my world once again goes black.
