34 Mason recovered enough on the drive back to the loft to haul his own ass out of the Dodge, into the elevator, and down the hall to Kai’s door. Once inside, he was met with a concerned Peyton and a pissed off Lucas. “Sorry,” Mason said. “Didn’t mean to keep you from the club and Maya.” “f**k you,” Lucas said without much heat. “You’re important, too. And so is Peyton.” He glanced at her. “And now that you’re here, and alive, I’ll leave Peyton in Kai’s capable hands and see about Maya.” Lucas earned a smile from Peyton, a nod from Kai, and a knowing glance from Jayce. Their resident medic would help heal Mason. Taking his coat from the back of a chair, Lucas left. As soon as Kai entered the loft, he sent the picture of the symbol to the printer, then purified his hand and his phone.
