Jax's POV
I hit the floor hard when Luciano's men dragged me outside. Their boots slammed into my ribs in turns, one after another, until my breath came out ragged. I tasted blood in my mouth, but kept silent, refusing to let out a sound.
They yanked me up by my arms and shoved me forward into the open yard behind the building. My knees scraped the gravel. I lifted my head and there she was.
Nova hung from a crane chain, her wrists bound above her head, body swaying ten feet off the ground. Her eyes locked on mine right away. Wide, and scared. She tried to shout through the tape over her mouth, shaking her head like it was a bad idea for me to come.
I lunged forward without thinking. Two men grabbed my shoulders and slammed me back down. My shoulder hit the ground first. Pain explod
