“Riker wants you to meet him at the docks. Come on.” He gestured towards the door. Eden stepped back, tugging Hope with her.
“No,” she said. “I’m taking my sister home. Riker can wait.” She hated going down to the docks; no way was she taking Hope down there. Riker did all his gang business there. Eden was sure he was stockpiling weapons. He’d been down there a lot lately, enough that the gate guards had started to recognize her. She didn’t want to bring Hope any closer to Ravager business than she already was.
Max snarled, his fangs coming down into his mouth. “I don’t think so,” he said. “What Riker wants, Riker gets, and right now he wants you.” He looked her up and down with a leer, and then glanced at Hope. “You can bring the girl too,” he said with an ugly smile.
Eden shoved Hope behind her and planted her feet. Her exhaustion and anger reaching fever pitch. She’d had enough. She wasn’t going to let Riker push her around anymore, especially not when it concerned Hope.
“No,” she said again.
Max’s face transformed with rage and terror shot down Eden’s spine. “You’re fucking coming with me and that’s final,” he spat, and he lunged forward. His claws sank deep into her arm. Eden cried out, but she didn’t step away, refusing to leave Hope unprotected. She felt her own claws grow as she readied herself to fight, no matter the consequences.
