Gus looked at the blood and shook his head. “My girl is a fighter, and she would not give them the satisfaction of hurting her, or Bolt. They’ve had their difficulties, but she’d do what she could to protect him.”

Morwenna looked toward the window, and it was such a little one that only opened so much, and it pissed her off. She tried to jam it open even wider. Bolt was useless as he was still completely out of it.
She let out a growl as she grabbed a chair from across the room and jammed it under the door handle. All those years of her father’s training were kicking in, and it was actually helping. She breathed a sigh of relief but knew they were not in the clear yet. This was a nightmare. Standing in the center of the bedroom, she hadn’t long called Venom. He was the only person she could think to call.
The memory of Star’s face and the attack kept replaying in her mind. This was bad.
At the sound of Bolt’s moan, she quickly pulled out of the panic she was trying to gain control of, and moved toward him on the bed.
“What the fuck?” Bolt asked.
His words were slightly slurred but she understood him.
“Bolt,” Morwenna said.
“Wen?”
She hated that name.
She crawled on the bed and knelt beside him as he rubbed his temples. “Am I dreaming?” he asked.
“No, you’re not.”
“My face hurts.”
“I’ve been slapping you to try and get you to wake up.”
Bolt frowned and then groaned as he moved. “Star gave me drugs.” His lips pressed together, and he did something weird with his mouth. “I don’t know what they did.”
“She drugged you to get you out of the clubhouse.” Morwenna slapped him, hard.
“Ouch.”
She slapped him again, and he tried to capture her hand, but it was pointless. He was no match for her. She slapped him again, and she saw he was losing his temper, but she didn’t care. She wanted to keep slapping him, because what he did to himself was dangerous. She was so angry at him, but also afraid as they were both trapped together, and she didn’t know how they were going to get out of this. There was real fear.
She took a deep breath as she finally dropped her hands and just glared at him.
“The Karamazov have us,” Morwenna said. “Your ... girlfriend. She was working for them. They’re the ones that gave her the freaking drugs.”
“Wen, I’m so sorry.”
She wanted to refer to Star as his whore, but that didn’t seem right.
Tears filled her eyes as she looked at Bolt, but she realized she didn’t love him anymore. That love had died over a year ago, when each time she thought of their time together, she became aware that this hadn’t been a real relationship. This had been a fight between the two of them from the beginning. Only, she gave in to Bolt at every turn.
“All you ever think about is yourself. Where are your kids, Bolt? What were you thinking in leaving the clubhouse?”
Bolt opened his mouth and then closed it.
“She must have had a magical pussy to make you do everything you’ve done.”
“Wen, please,” he said.
“I had sex with Venom,” Morwenna said.
She watched as he instantly froze.
“What?”
“Yeah, I had sex with Venom, up until you guys declared lockdown, and then he broke up with me. He told me it was all part of some game or some bet. What is it with you all? Why can’t you just ... leave women alone?” Morwenna said.
Bolt shook his head.
“Do you know what sucks about all of this, apart from the fact we’re going to die? You were my best friend, and when you hurt me, I had no one to go to. I was hurt and you broke me, but you’ve been my best friend for the longest time. You selfish bastard. Then, I found Venom, and he was the only person in the club who didn’t lie to me. Do you know how that feels? He didn’t lie, and then I started to have feelings for him, and I had no one to turn to, because you wouldn’t let me have any friends. Do you remember that, growing up?” Morwenna asked. “Do you remember Kendrick?” she asked.
He sighed.
“You beat the crap out of him for talking to me, and he transferred schools. You told me I didn’t need any other friends because I had you.” She laughed and shook her head. “What a freaking joke.”
“Wen, I’m so sorry.”
“Morwenna, that is my name,” she said. “We’re going to die soon, you might as well use it.”
“We’re not going to die,” Bolt said. “We’re going to find a way out of here.”
She needed him to be able to fight. Bolt groaned and climbed across the bed. She watched as he stumbled to his knees and collapsed on the ground. At the same time, she spun toward the door as someone tried the handle. They didn’t have a lot of time.
