Fallen Into Hell: Fallen: Book 2 by Layna Snow (best romance books of all time .TXT) 📕

into Thane’s lap, curling herself into his body and letting him hold her. His skin was warm, his scent strong and comforting. She needed him to be there for her, and he was.

It will be okay. Sin will be safe.

It had to be okay. She wouldn’t be able to accept anything else.

The man nodded to her quietly and then left, moving back to the group of strong men.

In a way, they reminded her of Thane and Sin. They were so close that she could feel the bond between them.

They would always have each other’s back.

The Asian man eyed them wearily before turning back to the group. They called him Phoenix, although she was pretty sure that wasn’t his name. All the men had been nice to her, but this one had kept his distance from Thane. He wasn’t openly rude, but he seemed sarcastic when Thane asked a question, and he kept the big black man in sight at all time.

She had thought that he was just a guarded guy, but he was nice to her and teased his team in a way that she had seen brothers act. He made bets with them, and goaded them. Of course it seemed that only Colt humored him. The one named Steel pretty much ignored the bad behaviour.

Steel, she had to say, was named correctly. He took up more space in the room with his presence than he did with his body. He was tall and strong, although not as big as Thane, obviously. His hair was cut short and his blue eyes were sharp. Military. He looked like he was in the military.

He was quiet and in command, on top of all the details. And when he called the two men to be quiet, they listened.

“We need to prepare. This won’t be the last time we see them.” Steel said, his voice low but sharp enough to be heard across the small plane. There really wasn’t enough room to have any privacy.

“Shoot man! I never thought that we’d see our old team on a mission. They aren’t in the Military anymore.” Phoenix complained. “Why would they choose the dark side? I never thought that they would work for the Alliance!”

Colt nodded. “They were our team. Are we going to tell Connor?” he asked.

That seemed to perplex the other two. And if Sophie wasn’t so upset and if she hadn’t needed the distraction, then maybe she wouldn’t have listened.

Unfortunately for them, she didn’t want to be in her head right now. Listening to other people’s problems was much easier then thinking of her own.

“He has enough to worry about at the moment. We need to take care of this ourselves. We need inside information. We have to know what they are doing even before they do. We cannot let them get ahead of us again. They chose to be the enemy and we have to treat them as such for now. Phoenix, get in contact with Malyk and see if you can get any information from him, or if he has anyone in place that can report to us. This has nothing to do with the Hunters and so Gage doesn’t need to know about it.”

“Sure. I don’t see any problem with this. Just our best friends and the men who had our backs are now on our biggest enemy’s side. It will all be good.” Phoenix sassed, rolling his eyes.

“Phoenix, stop acting like a child.” Colt cautioned, and for the first time he sounded a little angry.

“Its fine, Colton. He needs to blow off some steam. He can be as sarcastic as he wants now, as long as he is serious when things get bad. Because I have to tell you. This story isn’t over. Foster and the crew are up to something. We were a good team with them, but we can’t let this get in the way of our mission. When it’s time to bug out, I expect you both to back me up. It will be difficult, but we have to be ready.” Steel cautioned. And Soph saw the look of disillusionment on the other two men’s faces.

“Yeah, you’re right, man. You know that we’ll follow you or Connor wherever we need to go.” Phoenix said, seeming chastised.

“We will be ready.” Colt said back. But he looked sad. Maybe he did know what it was like to lose someone. And even though things were winding down for Sophie, things seemed to be getting worse for these men.

She had the love of two men and she would wait for Sin to come back. She would always be with them and be taken care of. These guys only had betrayal.

Good luck, she thought to them. You’re going to need it.

Epilogue

Sophie sat in the room that she had been given to share with Thane. It was a nice day out today but she couldn’t go out alone. Everyone was worried that with Axel gone undercover the Alliance could be watching the house. Of course Soph thought that was silly, but she wasn’t going to argue.

It had been a couple months now and she was settling in nicely. Everyone who lived there was super cool and she liked spending time with them.

Eden was lovely, but she was often by herself. Sophie decided to befriend her. Really, she was the most like Soph anyways.

Jai was always working out and even though she promised to train Sophie, the Shifter was always busy with other things. And it was getting a little late in the pregnancy to start getting physical.

She had even started showing. Just a little.

The guys all seemed like alpha males. Gage scared her and she didn’t really like being around him. Connor was kept separate because he often got out of control. Malyk was apparently undercover and so Sophie hadn’t met him yet.
