Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha – Chapter 126

LUCA’S POV

With his attention razor-fixed in front of him, Samuel drove like a bat out of hell, careening the large SUV through darkened streets, around corners and barely stopping for street signs.

I was just grateful he was there. I’d take any extra help even if it came from humans, and I prayed the bikers wouldn’t become just another casualty by the time the night was over.
