Kings of Chaos (Dirty Broken Savages #1)(109)
We get to a quiet side street, and finally they all stop, giving us a moment to catch our breaths. That’s easier said than done.
My heart is beating so fast it feels like it’s going to burst out of my chest, and my mind is spinning in circles.
I lean against the wall of a building, one hand over my chest, gasping for breath. I don’t know how I can feel numb and freaked out all at the same time, and it’s a weird mix of running cold and hot, feeling my blood beating through my body in icy rivers.
I stare down at the pavement, illuminated weakly by the streetlight a little way away. I know I’m not crazy. I know what I saw. Ivan’s body was in there, yeah, but after that…
“That was Hannah,” I mutter, and saying it out loud doesn’t make it make any more sense than it did before. “I know it was her. My… my sister was in there.”
My sister, who I thought was dead. They killed her in front of me. I saw her die. So how… how was she in there?
The guys all look at me in surprise. Even Priest and Ash. None of them know the story—not the whole story, anyway. They’ve heard parts of it, bits and pieces from shit I’ve said and when I was taunting Ivan in the basement, but none of them know the details of what really happened.
Gage’s face sets into grim lines as he looks at me.
“That wasn’t just your sister in there,” he mutters, sounding angry and confused all at once. “That was Ivan’s body up on that stage. Someone went into the river and pulled him up so they could lay it out there on purpose.”
“That’s fucked up,” Knox says.
“Coming from you, that’s saying something,” Ash murmurs, but instead of his usual teasing banter, his voice sounds strained.
Gage clenches his jaw, something burning in his deep green eyes as he holds my gaze. “I was wrong. We both were. This isn’t over.”
His words break through the shock crawling through my body like an electric current.
He’s right. Somebody went to a lot of trouble to find Ivan’s body and put it where they did.
But who? And why?
Queen of Anarchy, book two in the Dirty Broken Savages series, is on Amazon HERE.
If you’re dying to talk about book (and maybe want to form a mob to come after me for that cliffhanger), come hang out in my Facebook reader group, Eva Ashwood’s Sinners. It’s my favorite place on the internet, and we’d love to have you there!
Looking for a complete series to binge? Try my enemies-to-lovers RH romance, Black Rose Kisses. If you liked this book, I think you’ll love that series! River makes a small appearance in it, and the story is centered around Mercy, the girl River mentioned in her conversation with Knox. It’s full of steam, intrigue, danger, violence, and enemies-to-lovers hotness.
