Chapter 89 Alyssa King and Niko walk into the room , the smell of greasy food hitting the air as King drops a Five Guys bag onto the bed .
Zuri immediately reaches for it , demanding for someone to open it , even though she just ate lunch an hour ago .
Im not asking you anymore , Alyssa .
Eat , King growls , his concerned glare drilling into me .
I sigh heavily , opening the bag and handing Zuri a warm fry .
Tm not hungry , I mutter , keeping my eyes on anything but Kings stare .
Its been days since we went to the Iron Serpents clubhouse , and ever since , my appetite has been nonexistent .
Even when I try to eat , it doesnt stay down .
I think its all because were still here .
This building feels suffocating , a constant reminder of everything that happened .
How am I supposed to heal when I cant even breathe ! Alyssa Kings tone cuts through my thoughts , low and impatient , like a growl rumbling out of a caged animal .
Before I can snap at him , Niko steps in .
Til talk to her , he offers , moving to sit across from me on the bed .
He takes my hand , and I slowly look up to meet his soft , understanding gaze , Hey , sweet girl .
Were starting to get a linle worried about you .
Can you eat something for us ? Just a little His gaze drops briefly to Zuri , whos munching on a fistful of fries .
He chuckles lightly .
Preferably before Zuri finishes it all herself .
I bite my lip , my throat tightening .
I really dont have an appetite , I reply honestly .
Its not like Im trying to be difficult with them I just feel like shit , inside and out .
Nikos grip tightens on my hand just to let me know hes not giving up We get that , we really do .
But you need to cat something .
Alyssa Anything We can go back out and get you whatever you want , whatever youre craving Im fine , gays , Linsist , though its clear none of them believe me Across the room , Mason leans back in the chair , watching me with quiet concern .
He doesnt say line , his eyes flickering to King King scoffs , his arms crossed over his chest , radiating frustration .
Thats bullshit , kitten y anything , Instead , has mouth presses into a thin Niko brushes his thumb across my skin .
Youre not line .
he counters gently .
His voice is so sadly , so patient , its almost impossible to stay defensive .
We gave you a few days to sort through your own emotions until we noticed youre not taking care of yourself .
I had to convince King that we cant force feed you and that wasnt easy .
Its just killing all of us seeing you like this , and we just want to know what we can do to help lance at each of them King , Niko , Mason .
All three are looking at me like My chest tightens , the weight of their concern pressing down on me .
I glan theyre desperate to figure out the fastest way to fix the .
But I dont think Im broken , just … trapped in this prison and needing to escape before 1 lose mny fucking sa sanity .
I want to go home , I finally admit I know theyll only say no , but I have to get it off my chest and out in the open Niko glances back at King some unspoken understanding passing between them .
Kings expression hardens .

Thats not the safest option for you and Zuri , sweet girl , Niko says softly , his tone almost apologetic .
You know that I let out a sound of frustration .
Then , dont ask what I need then ! My voice cracks , and tears sting my eyes .
Im not trying to hash out at them , but Im so damn tired tired of feeling trapped , tired of being told whats best for me , tired of the traumatic memories replaying in my mind on a goddamn loop .
Kings eyes narrow in warning .
Is that how youre supposed to talk to us , kitten ? he asks , his voice dropping to a low , dangerous rumble .
I square my shoulders , meeting his gaze head on.
You know what , Im not doing this with you guys right now , I snap , blinking back the tears threatening to fall .
My emotions are every fucking where .
Its like 1 dont even have control over myself anymore .
And that scares me .
This place is fucking with me or something .
I need to leave .
I rise to my feet , standing toe to toe with King Take me home , I tell him , my voice trembling but firm .
I need out of here , King .
Today His brow arches , tilting his head .
Is that a demand ? Yes , I say , lifting my chin .
So are you bringing me there , or am I going to have to hitchhike by myself ? 1/2 11:27 AM Chapter 89 The tension in the room is thick as a full beat passes .
Then , to my surprise , King nods .
Boys , he says , turning to Miko and Mason .
Our woman wants to go home , I dont like it , but clearly keeping her here isnt working .
I say lets make it happen Iblink , stunned .
R Really ? I stammer .
I was ready argue , to scream if I needed to , but King just agreed Niko laughs , shaking his head .
I think shes in shock Probably because Kings usually the unreasonable one Mason mutters , adjusting his glasses .
But I agree with him .
She needs a break from here King steps closer until were practically breathing the same air .
He cups my jaw , his thurub brushing over my check .
I search his face , wondering what hes thinking .
Is it pity hes feeling for me right now ! I thought safety was more important than my personal feelings .
Thats why they brought me here in the first place .
Kings dark eyes clash with mine .
I need to see you smile again , kitten .
And not the little fake shit youve been giving us every time we ask if youre okay … I want a real , genuine smile .
I refuse to lose you , even to yourself .
So , were giving you what you want .
Just this once , I swallow hard , my throat tight with emotion .
Nike cuts in .
You think Grays gonna fight you on this ? Kings lips curve into a wicked smirk .
He can try , but hell lose .
He knows shes my of lady , my responsibility .
If going home is what she needs , well make it work .
Well bring in extra men if we have to , but shes going .
Tears well in my eyes again , but this time theyre from relief .
I cant even find the words to thank him right now .
Niko grins at me .
I have to agree that this is best for her .
She hasnt even touched us in days , thats been the biggest red flag , he half teases .
I snort , the unexpected humor slipping through my defenses .
Kinda hard to be in the mood when Im worried about throwing up on you guys , I joke back Mason leans forward , his brows furrowed .
Yeah , maybe thats something we should get checked out .
I shake my head quickly .
No , Im okay .
Its probably just from the stress , I swear Sure , he hums , his tone measured .
Could be stress or something else .
We should rule it out .
Panic rises in my chest , and I clamp down hard on the idea .
Its not , I insist , harsher than I meant to 1 just … cant deal with that right now .
Kings gaze cuts to Masons , his voice firm .
Mace , leave it alone .
Then , his attention shifts back to me , dark and commanding .
Now , can you cat something for us ? Or do I need to sit you in my lap and have them feed you ? Fine , I relent , crossing my arms .
Theat , but as soon as Im done , were leaving .
King barks out a laugh .
The faster you eat , the faster we start packing then .
He leans down to plant a gentle kiss on my lips .
Well get you home , kitten .
I promise 24
