Wheeler (Four Fathers Book 4) Page 9

  They want blood.

  Blood for blood.

  I try not to think about those things when I’m with them.

  Hayden has taken the reigns and morphed into a man overnight. He’s had to. He became heir to an empire. Trevor, Mateo, and Levi have welcomed him into the fold, desperate for a Pearson to hold their entire world together. And Hayden didn’t disappoint. He’s a lot like his father.

  I look at my cell phone and frown. Still nothing from Lucy. She promised she’d be here for the birth of my baby girl, but she didn’t make it, and she hasn’t visited since. I text Trevor to ask if he’s heard from her, but ten minutes pass, and he still doesn’t reply.

  Life is going to be so different for me. No college. I’m a mother.

  A mother. God, she’s a miracle baby, and her brothers are determined to be a part of every aspect of her upbringing. I can’t deny them. I love them and want to be around them. Even if it causes friction between the brothers.

  The room door barges open, startling me, and Nixon fills the space. He looks wild, his eyes wide and jaw tense.

  I sit up, nerves eating away at my stomach. “What is it?” I ask, breathless.

  “Lucy. Trevor found her drugged and naked at her house.”

  The room expands, then closes in around me. “What?”

  “She’s here in the hospital. They’re trying to determine what’s in her system, but she’s still alive.”

  Camden and Brock push into the room past Nixon. They look pale and shaken.

  “She will be okay,” I comfort them, but really, it’s to comfort myself. We can’t lose anyone else. I can’t. What the hell happened?

  “Row, that’s not all,” Nixon says in a tone I’ve never heard him use before. It’s almost fear. Camden moves to the bed and takes my hand, squeezing it.

  “What? What is it?” I plead, terror beginning to eat its way up my throat.

  “The baby. She’s gone.”

  “The baby. She’s gone.”

  “The baby. She’s gone.”

  The words roll around my mind like a carousel. My body moves to stand, but my legs aren’t working. I fumble and drop to the floor. All three of the boys surround me, but I can’t focus.

  “Where’s my baby?” I shout.

  I think of her steely blue eyes identical to her father’s, and a sob clogs my throat.

  “Rowan, we will get her back,” Brock vows, staring so intently at me, I swear it’s Eric incarnate.

  “Where’s my baby?” I screech.

  “We think your father has taken her,” Nixon states.

  What? No. No.

  I’m losing my touch on reality. Darkness clouds around me, and I drown in the ache, the pain of knowing he’s taken her to punish me.

  To start over.

  To have someone who loves him.

  She’s gone.

  She’s gone.

  She’s gone...

  The END!

  Coming soon…

And when my voluptuous, innocent assistant starts starving me after a little taste, I decide I’ll let my inner animal feed—on her. Trouble is, once I have her, I can’t let her go, and that makes things complicated. My name is Levi Kingston. I am a dirty, ravenous, greedy man.

  Thank you to you the reader for joining us on this new journey. Four Father’s was an exciting project and something different for me to be involved in. I loved these assholes and I hope you did too. You’ve always got my back and follow me blind down any rabbit hole I push you toward. Thank you for your love, trust, and passion.

  Kristi, As always, it’s a pleasure working with you. Although we didn’t co-write this time your eyes and tweaking of my awful formatting and grammar errors are much appreciated. I adore working with you and love you, lady.

  Dani, Thank you for your beautiful formatting work. It’s been fun working with you and getting to know your style and characters. I’m grateful for gaining two new friends from this project.

  Jessica, Thank you for letting me share your character and stalk the shit out of her. It’s been so much fun working on these together and I’m looking forward to K, birthing more projects for us to throw our creativity into.

  My family always sacrifice time with me so I can work on creating book babies, thank you for being patient, eating takeout when I’m too tired to cook for you. For wearing creased clothes because Ironing is a waste of life hours and for putting up with me wearing headphones for 80% of the day and making you repeat what you tell me at least three times before I listen.

  Bloggers. We adore you for all your passion, time and help with sharing, reading and getting our work out there. Without you, we’re floating on a sinking ship in a bottomless sea. Your love, loyalty, and trust know no bounds. You’re our rock stars. Thank you.

  Authors/friends: Thank you for sharing and caring. For knowing there’s room for us all and for boosting each other up in these shark invested waters of late.

  My group: (Dukey’s darker souls) Thank you to my wonderful admin and incredible readers, cheerleaders, nosey parkers and slutty members. You guys are the highlight of each release. Your enthusiasm it beyond anything I could ask for. I know when you’re nagging me for more it’s a compliment so keep on pushing me and I’ll keep on providing.

  PA: Terrie, thank you for always having my back and being there to pick up the slack if I need to take a moment. You’ve always been my friend before my PA and I love you.

eone you’re always there for me. Thank you for being such a great friend to me. For inspiring me, always boosting my confidence in my ability and sharing all the things you learn along the way.

  About the Author

  About Ker Dukey

  My books all tend to be darker romance, edge of your seat, angst-filled reads. My advice to my readers when starting one of my titles... prepare for the unexpected.

  I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bedtime stories with my sisters growing up.

  My mom would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. Not all love stories are made from light; some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

  When I’m not lost in the world of characters, I love spending time with my family. I’m a mom and that comes first in my life, but when I do get down time, I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.
