Chapter 107

CORBIN

Hazel kept trying to push to my side to see around my body and stare at the Grandmaster. It took all my energy to keep her in line and not launch at the man who put the woman I loved in danger.

The night had gone from manageable to absolutely dire. Now that the Grandmaster was involved, the odds of both of us making it out alive were slimming by the minute. He didn’t leave witnesses or any loose ends. It didn’t matter to me if I didn’t survive, but I’d do everything in my power to make sure Hazel had a long and wonderful life.

I’d planned for every contingency except this one. In case we were unable to return to normal life, I’d made up a new identification for Hazel, including a bank account with enough money to set her up for life. I left instructions with Ridge to get her the documents after I died, but it wasn’t over yet.

I finally found the one person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and I didn’t plan to let the dream die easily.
