Chapter 4
Rider
We decided to follow Martin’s list. On the drive back to the clubhouse, we decided to get the other brothers involved. We would split off in two’s, and each go to the house. This had to be the men who had raped the women. My dad called Creek and told him the new plan, he said he would start gathering up the brothers and making sure they ready for us when we arrived.
We got back to the clubhouse well after midnight and decided to stay there to get some rest. My dad called church the next day so we could discuss the plan.
“We need these men picking up in connection to something that happened years ago. I’m going to put you in pairs, and you will take one of the trucks, and drive to the men. As soon as you find him, you need to take a picture of him and send it to my wife. She will then let you know yes or no, if it is yes, then you grab him and bring him back here. If he struggles, do
Chapter 5RiderI was driving on my bike with my father’s address in my mind. My cell kept ringing, I assumed it was my dad, trying to get me to come back home.I was about 40 minutes into the drive when I had an odd feeling in my gut telling me to pull over. I found a safe place to pull over and signalled, letting the car behind me know what my plan was. It was dark now, I looked at my cell to see what time it was, 9:15. I noticed 6 missed calls from my dad and a voicemail. I clicked ‘call’ and called him back.“Rider, where the fuck are you?” he yelled down the phone.“On my way to see him.” I answered.He let out a long sigh. “For fucks sake son, you shouldn’t have gone alone. I need to be there.” He told me.“I’ll be there soon, so I’m not turning around now.” I argued.“I understand. Be careful and ca
Chapter 6Bonnie“Rider.” The man greeted. Rider nodded once. Not a big talker then. It suddenly dawned on me that I had been on a job when I crashed.“Shit!” I exclaimed, as the older man walked in my room. “What time is it?” I asked, Rider shrugged and looked toward the man. He sighed and looked at his cell. “almost 7am.” He told me. “Fuck!” I yelled and tried to hop out of bed.“What the hell are you doing?” Rider asked me, his voice concerned but with a hint of annoyance, as he stopped me from getting up.“I’m on a job, I need to get to Wilmington by 9am.” I told them, panicking.“Sweetheart,” the man started as he walked over to the bed, “from what I hear about your injuries, you ain’t going anywhere yet.” He tried to use the softest tone he could, worried I might start being hysterica
Chapter 7RiderI gotta admit, that was entertaining as hell watching that little girl standing up to my dad. Strangely enough, I felt proud of her. My dad was acting like a bit of a dick, he was definitely not showing her the respect that he would normally show bikers from other clubs. I was about to tell him so when her attitude kicked in and she defended herself, ripping him a new one with her tongue.I glanced over at my dad to see his reaction. To anyone else, he looked angry, like he was going to explode, but I also saw the hint of respect in his eyes, the pride of her standing up for herself.I smirked again, reliving the memory, as I stepped outside her room.“I called her Prez.” He started.“I wanted to know about her seeing as she’s going to be staying with us for a while.” He added.“Did you find anything out?” I asked.“Her name is Sky
Chapter 8Bonnie“What took you so long?” I asked him, as he walked through the door an hour later.“Had to go to the store.” He explained, holding up the bags for proof.“What did the nurses say?” I eyed the bags suspiciously.“Doc won’t be here till tomorrow, so I went and bought you some shit.” He told me, handing the two stuffed bags over to me, carefully avoiding my leg.I quickly looked through the bag of toiletries. “Thanks Rider.” I said, trying to be genuine.He nodded.I looked through the next bag, “you bought me panties?” I asked, I struggled to keep the smirk off my face.He blushed. “Yeah, you needed them.”I was touched, not that I would ever tell him that though. I wasn’t expecting this.“Thank you, Rider, I mean it.” I smiled.“What&rsquo
Chapter 9RiderI didn’t catch her staring at me again. I noticed little glances every so often, but I was used to it. Women stared at me a lot. Even men stared, probably intimidated by my build. Whilst she was focusing on not staring at me, I took advantage of watching her. She was different than the other women I’d met. She wasn’t intimidated by me nor my dad. She was feisty and strong, which I suppose she would have to be after what she had been through.Her short dark hair and her golden-brown eyes gave her an ethereal look. She reminded me of a pixie. Her leather jacket and biker boots toughened up the softness of the black dress I had bought her. She was hot.I had told my dad I wouldn’t sleep with her which was fine. I didn’t sleep around anyway. I’d never slept with any of the clubwhores, in fact, I’d only slept with the 2 girls I had been in relationships with.&ld
Chapter 10Bonnie“Bonnie!” A familiar voice came from the entrance of the clubhouse.“Carbon!” I cried, excitedly.He headed over to me and dropped his bag on the floor, he bent down and wrapped me up in a massive bear-hug.I’d known Carbon for years, his older brother was Blade, the VP of the Toronto Renegades. Carbon was the same age as me, Blade, was a lot older. When I first arrived at the club with my mom, Blade brought Carbon, or Nolan, as I knew him, so I had someone to hang out with. He had been my best friend for the last 5 years.“How you doin’, beautiful?” he asked me, as he playfully messed up my hair.“Get the fuck off,” I laughed as I shoved him off me.I hadn’t noticed before, but everyone had stopped what they were doing to see what was going on. Ink walked over to us and reached out to shake Carbon’s hand.
Chapter 11RiderI felt Sky walking, well rolling, in the room before I even saw her.I watched the doors open and she rolled through in her chair, Carbon pushing behind her. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I stared at her, it looked like she had just woken up. Her short hair was a bit wild, and her eyes looked tired. My throat dried up as I watched Carbon push her over to Axel, Tank and Buzz, who were stood at the bar, almost completely wasted.“Hey!” Tank shouted, walking over to Sky. “It’s Riders girl!” he cheered, she blushed furiously as she glared up at him. I felt my anger rising myself as he called her my girl. I was about to say something, but my girl beat me to the punch.“Tank, is it?” she asked, he nodded, a stupid smile on his face. “Or should I call you Kirsty’s boy, or Archie’s dad? Or how about the club’s security bitch?
Chapter 12RiderMy father cried for what felt like forever.My own tears managed to escape as I grieved for what could have been. If things had been different, maybe I would have grown up with both my parents, maybe my mother wouldn’t have been shot.“How did it happen?” he finally asked.“The men who held her captive, shot her after she had given birth.” My dad explained.This started the grief and tears off again.He was angry. “They promised they wouldn’t hurt her.” He told me.“What happened between you?” I finally asked.“I’ll go finish off those coffees.” Judith excused herself.“I was young and stupid. I got involved with the wrong people and I owed them money. I got addicted to heroin when I left school and was in a bad place. I met a guy who said he could help me. He wanted me to kidnap w
EpilogueRider6 months laterAfter Bane was released from hospital, Sky wanted to stay at the clubhouse for a while to help him. Bane made an announcement on the night of the ‘welcome home’ party that Sky is his daughter. We hung around until Bane had his casts removed from his arm and leg. Her mother stuck around for a few days until she found someone else to move in with. We haven’t heard from her since.We also had to tell Bane and the rest of the brothers, mine and hers, that we were engaged. Her brothers and dad threw us a party congratulating us, and when we finally got back to North Carolina after being away for 8 weeks, they had also planned a party for us to celebrate.Bella, Julia, Kirsty, my mom and Hailey, Grizzly’s wife, all helped Sky to plan our wedding, which was in one week from today.Bane and my father split all the costs between them and paid for everything
Chapter 33Bonnie“Bane, there’s something I need to tell you.” My mother cut in, interrupting the interrogation between my father and myself.He turned to my mother, “what’s going on?” he asked.“18 years ago, I left you. I never told you the reason why.” My mother started.“You met that other man and wanted to marry him.” My dad offered.“Yes, but that wasn’t the only reason. I was pregnant.”“Are you trying to tell me that you were pregnant with my baby when you left?” he asked in disbelief.My mother nodded.He looked over to me, tears were streaming down my cheeks.“You’re my daughter.” He whispered.I nodded slowly.He closed his eyes and I saw tears streaming down his cheeks.“You’re my daughter.” He repeated, still in shock.
Chapter 32Bonnie“Wait…” I heard Carla say.The doctor stopped and turned back to her.“And you are?” he asked.“My name is Carla Clearwater.” My mother explained.“Are you a blood relative?” the doctor asked, confused.“I’m not… but my daughter is.” I was in shock. I felt like I couldn’t breathe, that I wasn’t inhaling enough oxygen quick enough. “What are you talking about?” Rider asked, as I started to gasp for breath, Rider must have heard me panicking and turned to me, and pulled me into his solid body, holding me impossibly close to him.“Sky, Skylar, I’m so sorry you had to find out like this.” She started.“Find out what exactly?” Rider asked again.Carla blew out a long breath before speaking again.“Bane i
Chapter 31Bonnie“I’m here.” I said, dragging myself out of the comfortable bed. I headed to the door where Ink and Rider stood. I looked at Ink’s face, noticing the worry on his face. I stilled. Something was wrong.“What’s happened?” Rider asked.“Bane left after you walked out Rider, he wanted to give you some time, so he booked on to the next flight. He arranged for one of his brothers to pick him up from the airport.”I started getting anxious, my breathing rapidly increased, as well as my heart rate.“Dad, tell us.” Rider urged.“They crashed. Someone hit them side on, the driver is fine, walked away with a few cuts and bruises, but Bane was in the passenger seat, the side that was hit.” He explained.My body started shaking. “Is he dead?” I asked, tears streaming down my cheeks.He shook his
Chapter 30RiderMy girls beautiful face paled.Anger quickly replaced the shock and she jumped up suddenly, knocking the chair down that she had just been occupying. She started pacing up and down the office.“I don’t want to see her.” Sky told him finally.“She’s missed you.” Bane tried to defend her mother.“She missed me so much that she hasn’t spoken to me in, what, 7 years?” she cried defiantly.“I know what she did was wrong, she knows it too, but she wants you to hear her side of things.” He continued.“No. I won’t see her. She’s dead to me.” Sky shouted, tears welling up in her eyes. I couldn’t bare to see her like this.“That’s enough.” I told them. I waited for them to calm down before speaking again. “Sky has made it clear that she isn’t interested in
Chapter 29BonnieI had been back at the Titan Kings club for almost two weeks. I had heard from Carbon, even Fury text me to check in, but I hadn’t heard from Bane. I was still kind of angry with the way he treated me, but I knew I would have to speak to him soon.Rider was also pushing me to make a decision on what club to be a member of. Ink had sat me down on my own a few days after we arrived and offered me a patch too, if I wanted to stay here with Rider. I was grateful that he wanted me to stay here, but was the reason just because I was in a relationship with his son?I did enjoy being here, Ink had given me some jobs to do, and I spent a lot of time with Rider’s brothers, and of course I have Kirsty and Bella, even Julia too although I don’t see her as often. I do really like being here, but my mind keeps wondering if I’m here because Ink thinks I’m good or if it’s because I&rs
Chapter 28RiderThe flight was quicker than last time. I couldn’t hold my happiness back that Sky had chosen to come back with me to my club. What Bane did was sneaky, but it worked. I knew he wasn’t going to give her a full patch, not when she was debating where she wanted to be. I wanted to try and explain it to Sky, but in the end, this way worked out better for me.We landed easily enough, and Axel was there to pick us up from the airport. “Hey brother!” He called, when he saw us leaving the terminal. “Hey.” I said, “still not talking much I see,” he smirked at me. “Bonnie, nice to see you, sunshine, how is the leg?” he asked my girl, “it’s almost all better now, thanks Axel.” She smiled.We put our cases in the back of the truck and headed down the long road that would eventually lead me back home. I held Sky’s hand the entire
Chapter 27BonnieAfter being completely humiliated in church, I ran back to my room. I had heard Rider standing up for me as I ran out of the room, begging myself to control my tears. I didn’t want anyone to see me cry. It wasn’t long after I had thrown myself on my bed when I heard Rider at my door. He told me I had half an hour before he came back, I knew I wouldn’t be able to get rid of him again, so I needed to get my ass up and get shit done.My humiliation soon turned to anger at my rejection in front of all my brothers, and I knew I didn’t want to face them anymore. Without thinking it through properly, I grabbed my suitcase out of my closet and started to throw my stuff in. I was done. I wanted out.Rider knocked back on soon enough, I knew he would be back so I unlocked the door so he could just come in. “It’s open.” I called.He opened the door and walked in. My
Chapter 26Rider“I haven’t dismissed you yet.” Bane called to Sky as she walked to the door. I could see her glassy eyes and knew she was about to cry, she wouldn’t do it in here though, I knew it must have been a battle to let her brothers allow her to prospect for them, let alone give her a patch. She wouldn’t want them to see her as weak, so I did what I had to. I stood up, taking Bane’s attention off my girl and bringing it to me.“This isn’t what we discussed.” I told him.Bane’s eyes widened as he took in my words.“No, it wasn’t, but she needs to know. I’m not fucking around, patching her in, and putting our emblem on for her cut, for her then to request a transfer in a few weeks.” He explained.“I understand, but I thought that was something you would discuss in your office.” I snarled.“Why?
