Voracious (The Edge of Darkness, #2)

by Leigh Rivers

My girl just fought for her damn life, and now I can tell she needs sleep, but not with whatever is in her system.

“The only person stopping me from pulling my gun out and blowing someone’s brain out is you – I need you. I can hear them. Taunting and laughing at me. I can fucking feel them everywhere, but I only want to feel you.”

That girl in my bed is everything to me.

So I crawl. I’ll crawl the entire fucking way to Stacey if I need to.

“They know who you are, and what we were. They’re going to come for you. Please. Please, baby, you need to run. Run, and don’t you dare turn back. Get away from all of them. You… you hear m-me?” My eyes close, and my phone slides out of my hand, but I quickly grab it. “Please hide, please.”

“We have an emergency announcement. Reports say that Tobias Mitchell has escaped his institution this afternoon and is currently at large. The murderer and psychopath was given a life sentence over twenty years ago.”

I throw my head back and laugh. “He’s the son of Tobias Mitchell. He doesn’t need help.”

DAMN STRAIGHT.
