Rebel POV.I walk to the head of the table. I run my fingers over the wood. I smile slightly. I used to run around this table when I was little, with pop-pop chasing behind me pretending to be the tickle monster. I smile at the memory.I reach the president’s chair and wait for everyone to enter the room. Alessa, Dante, Dylan, Blaze, Ice, Ripper, my dad, my mom, Uncles Nate, and Nico, the members, and the crotch goblins.I look at the two brats and sneer at them.“Are you two even members yet?” I ask, looking at them, and RJ steps forward with a snarl on his face. I just watch him. He approaches the table and places his hands on top of it. Watching me, waiting for me to make a move. Yeah, I’m being petty, but who cares because I don’t. This is a show of power and I have it. He doesn’t.“Rebel, please. They were our grandparents, too.” I just look at him when a bloody faced Luna steps up to her brother’s side. Her eye is turning a beautiful shade of purple, her nose is broken, a cut to
Luna POV.That little bitch, who the fuck does she think she is? How dare she come back here and cause this chaos? It was easier when she was gone. Now she is back, and with two hotties. They should be mine.I have always been attracted to Dylan, and I know he has been attracted to me. Now she rocks up claiming both him and a fucking mafia Don. Why? Why is fate so fucking cruel? Why can’t I just have what she does?All mom and dad talk about is her. Rebel this, Rebel that. God, it’s infuriating. She should have died that night, but she didn’t. Hell, she should have died when she was sixteen after taking that laced coke, but noooo. Rebel still lives. But not for long.I’m sick of coming second best to her, living in her fucking shadow. I have worked too hard for her to just waltz back into my family. She has always blamed me and RJ for taking our parents away from her. I smirk at that, because she isn’t wrong. I learnt from a young age how to get what I want. If she wanted something, I
Rebel POV.I sit back down as I look at the two of them. There was a time that I truly loved them. Maybe somewhere deep inside I still do, but that’s locked away tight. Looking at them both, they have aged so much over the years. They look tired, heartbroken, racked with guilt. I sigh, not liking this one bit.“The club will, of course, give nanna and pop-pop the best send off they deserve. I will do everything in my power to get them justice. Alonso Ricci and Paddy Smyth will die screaming. I can promise you both that now. I’m sorry that this happened to them.” I take a breath as I look away and sniffle to hold it together, but that control is slipping.“Rebel, lil princess. We are so sorry for what happened to you growing up. We are to blame for all of this.” I look up as the first tear falls, not because of his words, but because it’s too much.“It’s done. You both did what you did. You just left me. Let others raise me, yes I know I wasn’t the easiest and I think you can understan
Scythe POV.I follow out behind everyone and into the bar of the clubhouse. I walk towards the bar and ask the prospect for a bottle of beer. It’s placed in front of me moments later.“So, you going to tell me about this relationship? Considering you were in a fucking dilemma before. And don’t lie to me, son.” I sigh as I look at my dad and he is looking at me.“Can we do this another time please, dad? I don’t want everyone to hear this. Just know it’s …”“Complicated, yeah, no shit. Look son, I don’t care if you’re gay, straight, bi, whatever. You are still my son and me. Your mom and little brother love you. No matter what.” He says as he squeezes my shoulder and I feel like crying. It is a massive weight that has just been lifted.In this MC lifestyle, it is frowned upon to be into anything but pussy. I was so scared to come out and tell anyone that I was into both men and women. It took Rebel to see it in me and she didn’t freak out. If anything, she encouraged me to be comfortabl
Rebel POV.When Alessa told us where the two of them are. I looked at my mom and dad and I could tell they were in disbelief. Me, not so much. I knew they would retaliate, but I didn’t think they would be that sly to go to our enemies. But now I know where Ricci and Smyth are.I told my parents to not contact them, but to wait. They didn’t like it, worried that both the kids would get themselves killed; I scoffed. They know what they are doing by going to them. They promised they would pretend not to know anything. So I have to move and fast.I went in search of Dante and Dylan. I knew what they were doing. I could hear them through the door, so I waited as much as I wanted to join them. I can’t. This is more important than me getting off right now.When I told them who we had a problem with. Dylan looked ready to commit murder. Dante looked amused. Family always betrays family. True for mine, anyway.“What are you going to do?” Dylan asks me as they both walk towards me.“We know whe
Rebel POV.We all walk towards the door and the bouncer looks at each of us with a smirk on his face. He is good looking pity he will die tonight.“You ladies here for the open night?” he asks and I look at him and smile. Placing my hands on my hips.“What do you think, sugar? Think I have what it takes?” I ask, biting my bottom lip. Seduction always works. He runs his eyes and down my body, then looks at the girls and he nods his head.“I think the crowd will go wild. Come find me later and we can have some fun.” I step up to him and look up at him through my eyelashes.“If you think you could handle all four of us, sure, why not?” I giggle as the other girls giggle, too. He smiles big, idiot. He steps aside and we walk past him when he grabs my upper arm, stopping me. I turn my head, looking at him.“Not them, just you. I would enjoy breaking you.” I smile at him. I plant my free hand on his chest.“Promises, promises. We’ll see.” He chuckles and lets me go and I wink at him and cat
Rebel POV.Staring down at the men and women as they all take out their weapons. I hold my hands up.“What are you doing?” Candy’s voice is in my ear and I know she is devising a plan to get us out of here.“Release them now!” the man in the front says to me and I cock my head to the side and look at him.“You heard him girls, let them go.” I say chuckling and the girls laugh and shove the three prisoners to the floor, grabbing their guns and we open fire. There is no finesse in this. Each bullet lands and hits the target.We move forward as more come out of adjacent rooms. What should have been a routine hit has turned into a mass slaughter. Fuck!“Girls, you need to get out in the next thirty seconds. You have inbound.” Candy says in my ear and I look at the girls and they nod as we use everything we have.“We can’t get through. We need to retreat.” I say to them when the first blast rocks the building.“GET OUT NOW!” Candy shouts, as the walls vibrate and people scream and run. We
Rebel POV.Some people say sleep on it before making a big decision, but for me. I don’t sleep on it. I do what nanna always used to say.“When you have a big decision to make, I find it helps to have a nice hot bubble bath and letting everything go. Then the answer comes to you.” I smile as I can hear her saying that to me. So that is what I’m doing.Laying in the hot bubbly water, candles, and incense lit, music playing and a bottle of bud in my hand. My eyes are closed as I think of what I need to do. The decision I have to make.I know what I’m going to do with Paddy and Alonso. They will die, but my decision involves Luna and RJ. If I kill them, then I hurt my parents and family. I go against the mafia. If I keep them alive, then I betray the MC. Why is this so difficult?Candy has been through all their phones, and the only one who didn’t have anything incriminating was RJ. There were loads of texts and emails from Luna to Alonso, Paddy, and Roman. Alonso’s son. I know Roman’s p
Harmony POV.After showing uncle Nico the lot that will have the bar. I received a call from momma. She told me to try to get in touch with Maverick, as he wasn’t answering his phone. I told her I knew where he was and quickly got to my SUV.I tried to call him but it just rang out so I called momma back and she told me that Felicity was seen in town. My hands gripped the steering wheel hard, and I growled, thinking about poor Melody.I drive like the hounds of hell were chasing me down as I skidded to a stop on the opposite side of the school parking lot.I jumped out of the SUV and ran as I saw Maverick. I called out to him as I got in front of him, then but he looked from me to whoever was behind me. Then I heard her voice. It was high pitched and whiny.I slowly turned to face her and got the first glimpse of this disgusting woman.“Oh Outlaw, is this your little girlfriend?” She chuckled as I positioned myself in front of Maverick. Oh, lady, you have no idea who you are trying to
Maverick POV.It has been six weeks since I was welcomed into the Princes Of Darkness. As a welcome gift for Melody, because she loves being on the back of my bike. The club ladies had her own leathers and helmet custom made.She even has her own little cut, like all the kids do. It says Property Of The Little Devil’s Of The Princess Of Darkness MC. A way for the kids to feel like they are important and do belong to a wider family.Then one day we left the house to get her to school and saw a new truck parked in the driveway with a massive red bow attached to the hood with a card under the windshield wiper.I chuckle as I remember what it said. Welcome to POD. I thought you and Melody would like this truck for when the weather changes. Drive carefully.I smile, knowing who it was that had the cage bought here. Harmony. There was even a booster seat in the front passenger for Melody. It’s a nice truck. All shiny and black and I know it is armoured. There were even a few toys and bags o
Harmony POV.I do a happy dance as I leave the conference room with my momma behind me.“You did it, baby. We are so proud of you.” Momma hugs me and we both squeal, jumping up and down together.My family are my biggest supporters and are always pushing Harry and me to always do our best.“Miss Harmony, miss Harmony.” I pull away from my momma and we both look down, seeing Melody.“Hi honey, are you ok?” I ask her as I move to look at her and she is beautiful. I can’t believe her mom just gave her away. I could never do something like that. But from what momma said, it was the right decision for her. She would have been in so much danger because of her mom.“Yup, I had fun at story time with my daddy today. It was fun.” She jumps and down full of energy and I smile at her and momma chuckles.“I’m so glad you had a fun time. Did you make new friends?” I ask her, and she smiles and nods her head. God, she is so adorable. I just want to scoop her up and cuddle her all day.“Uh-huh. I ma
Maverick POV.Being part of a club is going to take some getting used to. I have been a nomad for the past six years, just roaming the country and living my life. Searching for something. That piece of me that is missing.I didn’t know about Melody. If I had known sooner, I would have taken her sooner. Her bitch of a mother, if you can call her that, was neglecting her. The club she was part of should have protected her, but they didn’t. The Sons Of Hades.The word was that the club was in dire straits. They were selling their club whores, pimping them out, beating them into submission. I don’t even want to think about what they would have done with Melody if I had never found out about her.I was in a different territory when I heard the whispers about that club. They weren’t always like that. They were successful, but something happened and they declined rapidly. They asked for help from The Princes Of Darkness and was declined that help.Dylan got word to me of a child who looked l
Harmony POV.Today has been productive. Not only did I manage to get my latest book finished, I also went over the design plans for the bar. That’s if the club let it pass tonight. I know they will because they love me.I walk up the steps to the familiar clubhouse, which is my second home, and open the doors into the main room. I see the members milling about, drinking and playing bar games.“Hey Harmy.” I roll my eyes and walk into the open arms of uncle Hound. He is one of my favourites. He is always getting into some kind of trouble and he is hilarious. All the brothers and their ole ladies are my aunts and uncles.“Houndy, what are you up to?” I ask as I squeeze him and he sighs and I know the answer.“Club business.” We both say at the same time, and he chuckles and I smile up at him.“It is always club business. You staying out of trouble, at least?” I ask when he slings his arm over my shoulder and we both walk towards the bar. I don’t drink, so the prospect knows to give me s
Harmony POV.“Harmony, don’t forget we will be at the clubhouse when you finish work.” I stop walking out of the door and look at my momma, Rebel.“I know, momma, I will be there. Gotta run, love you.” I wave at her as I walk out of the door with my purse crossed over my chest as I walk to my car with my laptop and files.It has been fun growing up in the MC, especially with a family like mine. Harry and I are legacy children. We are both part of the biggest and most feared family in the country. I am twenty and Harry is twenty-five.We are part of the Moretti-Jacksons. My momma is the heir to the DeNucci family, my dads yes you heard that right, I have more than one. One is Dante Fanucci, and he is a mafia Don and owns numerous businesses. Then you have my other dad who is Dylan Scythe Steele, who is the acting president of the Prince Of Darkness MC.My nanna is Angel Moretti. She is the child of Antonio and Teagan Moretti. Then you have my pop-pop Ryder Savage Jackson, who was the p
Rebel POV.FIVE YEARS LATER!I’m sitting on the patio with my mom as I watch Harry sitting in front of my dad as he rides around the bike track that trails around the mansion.“Momma, look it. Look momma.” I chuckle as I smile at him. My dad smiles at me as he rides slowly past us. Harry squealing with delight through his helmet.“I see baby, good job, my brave little man.” I call after him as I rub my growing belly.“He is so precious, you all have done an excellent job at raising him, Rebel. He is so polite and caring, but he has that adventurous and rebellious side to him, too.” Mom says, chuckling as she pours us both some lemonade. As we both watch Harry with my dad.Mom and dad have now retired, well sort of. RJ is now the prez of The Princes Of Darkness and has been for the past two years. So far, he is doing an amazing job. So mom and dad spend a lot of time here with me. RJ is still single and is concentrating on our family and the MC.Our relationship has improved immensely
Rebel POV.Seven months. It has been seven months since I told them I was pregnant. I only have two weeks left and my feet are killing me and so is my back.I have this duck pregnancy waddle down. Even Lubov rolls her eyes when I’m waddling through the house. But she doesn’t leave my side.For the last month, Dante has been working from home and Dylan and refused to go on any runs in case I go early. Which, with the size of me, is a damn possibility.I huff and puff as I stand up and waddle to the bathroom. I have lost count of how many times I have been for a pee today. The baby, which is a boy, is head butting my bladder. Like seriously Son my bladder is not a football.After my nervous announcement, Dylan, and Dante both dropped to their knees and proposed to me. Given the laws, I agreed to marry Dylan. But Dante is still my husband. We were married in the clubhouse and it was a great day. My mom cried when we told them I was pregnant and we were getting married. She and the other
Dante POV.It has been just over six months since the whole fiasco with Rebel escaping and running off to get Sara and Roman.The five men that were dropped into the custody of the FBI and RICO have gone to trial, rushed, of course. Then again, anything that concerns the Moretti’s is always dealt with swiftly and all five were found guilty of human and sex trafficking, misappropriation of the trade secrets, operating venues without the proper licenses, embezzlement, and money laundering.It is safe to say their stays in the maximum security penitentiary are not pleasant. Antonio and my nonno are making sure of that.Zia Vittoria came home, and we buried Roman as a family. She understood what needed to be done and has blamed herself ever since; we are all working with her in her grief.RJ is keeping his head down and is a lot more active in the running of the Princes Of Darkness. Dylan aka Scythe will be RJ’s VP when the time comes. We all sat down and Rebel convinced him to go back to
