"Aviana!"
The squeal comes from Briella, who launches up and runs towards the girl. She throws herself into her arms and hangs onto her for so long, when she pulls away, tears are running down her cheeks. "Is it you?"
The girl, Aviana, looks to Briella and smiles. "It's me, girl."
"Where have you been? What are you doing here?"
"I'll get to that, I swear."
Briella steps away, swiping her face, and Aviana looks at the group of bikers.
"Long time no see, boys," she murmurs. "I have something I think you might want."
Everyone stares at her in shock.
I've heard her name. She's Peter's niece. I also know she went missing a long time ago and seemingly didn't want to be found.
There is a reason she's back; I just don't know what that reason is.
Kendric sits beside me, sliding an arm around my waist as he looks up at the girl.
"What would she be doing here?" I whisper to him.
"Don't know, babe."
Alarick stands and faces Aviana. "Gotta wonder what you're doin' here, Avi. It's been a long fuckin' time."
She glances around. "Where's King these days?"
"He's away at the moment. You want to answer my question..."
Aviana looks to Alarick. "I have something you might want."
"Care to tell us what it is?"
Aviana's eyes flick to Cohen, and something in them hardens. I've never quite seen a woman's face change so quickly. There is something there, something deep and dark. My curiosity has me wondering what that might be.
"I know where Blanche is. I know where all of them are," Aviana says, looking away from Cohen.
That gets everyone's attention.
"Where?" Alarick demands.
"Ah, ah," Aviana waves her finger. "Not without something in return."
Alarick studies her, his face skeptical. "What do you want?"
She grins a low, wicked grin. "Him."
She points to Cohen, and we all stare, confused.
"What?" Cohen growls, standing.
"He owes me something. He knows what. He's going to help me. In exchange, I'm going to help you. Take it or leave it."
Alarick looks to Cohen. "Want to tell me what's fuckin' goin' on?"
Cohen holds Aviana's gaze, and hers is unwavering. She doesn't back down.
"Between her and I boss," Cohen mutters.
"You want to tell me what it is?" Alarick orders.
"No," Cohen growls. "Take the deal."
"Brother..."
Cohen looks to Alarick. "Take the fuckin' deal."
Alarick's jaw tightens, and he looks to Aviana. "You double-cross me..."
"Yeah yeah," she grins. "You'll kill me. Do we have a deal?"
Alarick steps forward, leaning down close. "Deal."
Aviana's smile widens, and she glances around at all of us. "Well, I guess it's welcome to the team, then?"
Oh boy.
Things are about to get interesting.
