It wasn't my place to step up and claim to be her baby's father, but it was the only way to protect her, and the unborn life inside her.

Protecting Everly meant putting myself in Kraken's war path, but I couldn't care less. The only thing he asked of us was to stay away from her, to let her have a normal life . . . but how could I do that when I knew the man she was fooling around with?

He was no good for her, and I knew his track record. He would ruin Everly like he ruined every woman before her, and I wasn't going to let it happen.

It didn't matter that the club was going through hell, that we were in the middle of the biggest battle we'd had in ages. The only thing that mattered was keeping her safe, and when she was kidnapped, I was going to do everything to protect my ol' lady and my baby.

He might have actually been the biological father, but no one besides me and Everly would ever know the truth. Our secret would die with him.
