Scythe POV.Life has been going good, great actually. We have now been living together for a few months and are in the house. Rebel freaked out when we took her to it. But in a good way. She sobbed, and we knew it meant more to her than anything.The pup, or little wrecking ball as I call her, has a name now. Lubov or love as it means in Russian. Rebel fell in love with her at first sight and don’t tell her this, but so did I. So she called her Lubov. She still is destructive, but that is because of her size. She has grown lots and is only seven months old and weighs seventy pounds.She has her own sofa and bed in the bedroom. She is too big to lay with us. She still thinks she is a small pup and thinks she can sit on our laps. Well, not Rebel’s, but mine and Dante’s. We don’t mind she is beautiful, loyal and affectionate. She will be the same size as the dogs the Mother’s Revenge have over six feet on her hind legs and with enough fur to make a carpet with.We all train her, and she
Rebel POV.I ride towards the site where the institute was. I need answers and it’s best to start there. Hopefully, I find something. All I can think about is how much Luna had changed since being in there and the positive and amazing changes she made. I was apprehensive at first that she was manipulating everyone, but she wasn’t. She was responding positively.She was even helping with the other patients; she told me that when she was finished with her treatment she wanted to go into the medical field and help others like how she used to be. I was so happy for her. Now she is gone. My baby sister is dead. I will find out why and who did this.Whoever did this to her will pay tenfold for this. Why wait for her to get better? Why not do this when she went in? I can understand why someone would want her dead. She was evil before she went there. But this wasn’t an accident, this was thought out, but why?I rev the throttle and ride as fast and as hard as I can to get there. When the answ
Rebel POV.It was at the moment Maisie realised her mistake. She raised her gun and aimed it at me.I just scoffed and burst into side splitting laughter. She looks at me in confusion. I step closer to her until the barrel of the gun is pressed against my chest.“Go on, do it. If you don’t, you will die now for pulling that on me. I think all your colleagues here now know you are a rat. You are a disgrace to the badge. I will love nothing more than to take you to the void. I bet there are more just like you. So tell me, Agent Owens, who else is involved?” I say agent Owens, full of malice and sarcasm. She looks at me like she is looking at a psychopath. Which, given the circumstances, I am.“I don’t know what you are talking about?” she says and I tut at her and shake my head.“Now, now, don’t lie or play coy. I know who you are and I know where I have seen you before. Tell me, how long have you been an agent?” I ask not just her, but the room.“She is new to the force. Four months, g
Rebel POV.We have ridden for hours and have not long gone past the Mexican border. The compound isn’t far from here. It makes it easier for my uncle to get his product over the border if he has to. It still amazes me how the Moretti’s can’t be touched by anyone. It still makes me laugh.The looks on the faces of border control when we all rolled up. They didn’t check, they just let us pass. Even though uncle Nico is the head of the Cartel. He does do work for the community and the country. He pays for homes to be built and helps those in desperate need.I never understood how he would do that, especially when he runs the drugs and guns for the family. He may be seen as a criminal just like the rest of us, but he is trying to do what is right.The reason the Moretti’s do this is simple: they can control and monitor what is bought in and who it is given to. What the buyers decide to do with it after that is not on us. Nonna explained it to me. That she was against it all, but nonno tol
Rebel POV.Wife? Fucking wife? He can’t be serious.“Wife? You married that slut? Do you have any idea what you have done, Nico?” my mom screams at him and he looks at her in shock before he looks at Sara, who is now struggling and screaming in the hold of Alessa and Skylar.“Shut up, you know what you did,” Alessa snarls at her and then just laughs at her futile attempt.“What did I do? You have all lost your fucking minds.” Sara screeches, and I step closer to her and slap her hard across the face. That felt good. I won’t lie.“Tell me what the fuck is going on and now?” Uncle Nico screams when my mom steps up to him.“Your fucking wife had the institute destroyed and Luna killed. That’s what is happening. You know the laws. She dies.” My mom speaks with so much venom in her tone and uncle Nico gasps before he shakes his head and gulps before he looks at his wife. “WHAT!” He shouts in disbelief. I roll my eyes at his outburst.“Oh well, you will love this. She is Alonso Ricci’s il
Dante POV.Rebel was released a week after she woke up. She has been resting at home, much to her disappointment. Our family room has now become base for operation. Find the bitch Sara and kill her slowly!Rebel has such a way with words. I am working alongside my family to track and find her hopefully before Rebel is at full strength, but so far it is like Sara has just vanished into thin air. Even the tech genius Candy hasn’t been able to track her. So that tells us that someone powerful is in play keeping her hidden, but who?I hear the shuffling of feet and look up from my desk and see a sleepy Rebel shuffling in her shorts, vest top, and fluffy socks. Lubov right beside her. I smile softly as I take in the woman who will be mine and Dylan’s wife. Her hair reminds me of a crazy professor sticking up in all directions.She rubs her eyes and walks towards the kitchen. I stand and follow behind her to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself. Not that she is accident prone, she is still we
Scythe POV.I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss being out on the open road again with the wind at my back and the feeling of being free. Riding my bike feels like I’m flying.But I want to be back home laying next to Rebel and Dante. But this is a must. Savage called everyone home, nomads included. Until we find Sara and now Roman.I was pissed when Dante called three days ago to tell us that Roman has gone fucking missing with his cunt sister. Why didn’t we see it sooner? Oh, that’s why because we have been chasing empty leads. Sara and Roman have both vanished, and it is pissing not only me off, but everyone. Tensions are mounting and soon enough we are all going to be pointing the finger of blame.I pull up at a gas station to refuel and stretch my legs. I have Ripper and two of the prospects with me. We have taken in more prospects with what has been going on. More men means more eyes and ears to the ground.My phone rings in my cut and I grab it out and see it’s Rebel callin
Rebel POV.I have ceased all comms with my family. I know Dylan is tired and upset that he has been taken away from me and Dante, but that does not give him the right to speak to me like shit. As for Dante, well, he will be pissed too. They will get over it.Since we connected the dots that Sara will be with Roman. I have had Candy search for all known associates of them both. And guess what? They have four people in common.So that is why I’m here. The four associates work in the same city and always meet up at the weekend for drinks in this very bar.I’m in full disguise and armed to the teeth. I also have with me several of the Bratva positioned inside the bar.The place is high class and definitely somewhere Sara would feel comfortable in. But this place also changes into a sex club at night. Only those with VIP membership can access that, though. I have that VIP membership. So here I am posing as someone who is interested in learning about my own sexuality and my limits when it c
Harry POV.I know she hated the looks everyone was giving her. The look of pity. Sophie is strong, resilient. She doesn’t need their pity. I can see it in my girl, she is fierce. When she asked me about a boxing gym, I swear my heart stuttered and my cock twitched.My girl knows how to defence herself. Hell, I can just see her now. In the ring, throwing strong accurate punches at her opponent. Ok, Harry stop. Before you rip your pants.I jog down the steps of the clubhouse back to the cage and grab her bags and mine out before locking the cage and walking back towards the steps.“Yo, Wild Child. What’s with all the lovey dovey shit? Don’t you usually just fuck and dump?” One of the newer guys asks with a chuckle and I look at him. Stone is his name, and he is one of Lucky’s members.Lucky will be starting his MC soon. He has decided to name it Hell’s Redemption MC. He said he and his men needed their redemption after allowing his father to do all the nasty shit he did. He blames himse
Sophie POV.I burst into tears when Harry told me he loves me. It wasn’t because it was too soon. It was simply because the last person who told me they loved me was my mom when I won the last dance competition before she died.Harry just held me and didn’t say anything. That was just over an hour ago. Now we are heading to the clubhouse of the Princes Of Darkness MC. I keep looking out of the window at every man I see. Hoping that my father and brother have slithered back under the rock they crawled out of.I may be trying to act tough, but inside I’m shaking, waiting to see them just casually walking the streets. But nothing. Maybe they have already been found? Maybe they decided I wasn’t worth all the trouble? No, that’s not it. Father told me he had sold me to some man. So no doubt they will be back to collect on that. But for now, I can not show I’m worried about it.I have lived with fear since the first day he beat me. But I’m an adult, for Christ’s sake. I will not hide anymor
Sophie POV.It has been so strange to me to have someone willing to look after me. Harry, his mom and his dads have been wonderful. It has been nearly a week since I was attacked by my father and brother. I know Harry is keeping quiet about what he and his mom are planning on doing, and that’s fine. I need to heal more before I worry about what will happen.Today, I’m being discharged from hospital and staying with Harry at the clubhouse. I’m nervous because I have always lived on my own. Well, I have when I ran away. So being in a huge family environment is going to be a wake up call.I am still healing, but I can manage with the pain. It isn’t as bad as what it was, but still. I need help moving around. Even if I am determined to do it on my own. Another thing I need to get used to.No matter where I am going, Harry is right by my side. I did ask him if he needed to work and he laughed and told me to not worry about anything. His dads and mom have the club covered. I only know from
Wild Child POV.After Sophie fell asleep and I recovered my shock of her words. I looked at my momma and she has that knowing smirk on her face.“She is stronger than she looks. What do you want to do, son?” She asks me and I look back at the now sleeping Sophie as she snores softly. My poor girl has been through hell and walked out the other side.“I think we need to find them both as soon as possible. I don’t want her to be in danger anymore. Sophie deserves to be free of them and to not live in fear. Even though we both heard her words. I know she is still scared, and that is no way for her or anyone to live. Come on, momma we see it all the time at the shelter. Sophie is no different from those women fleeing domestic violence. She needs our help and she will get it. I know you have not long come back from a mission. But I am going to need your help with this.” I say to her before I look away from Sophie to my momma, and she is smiling softly at me.Momma walks closer to me and run
Sophie POV.I take a good look at myself in the mirror. My face is swollen, my lip split, my nose is broken, both eyes are black. My jaw aches. I glare at my reflection.I ball my hands into fists and they burn. This is not the worst of what they have done. But enough is enough. I can’t keep running. I need to stand and face them.I lift the hospital gown and see the black bruising forming on my ribs and across my stomach. I wince with the movement.Ok, Sophie. What are you going to do? I ask myself as I look again at my face and something takes over in me. Not fear, something cracks and breaks free, demanding their heads. They are not my family anymore.I think I was always too scared to admit that to myself. But now. They can go and fuck themselves. I have taken it for far too long. I straighten up and pull my long black hair up into a ponytail. I wince with the stinging pain and the burning ache in my ribs.They have done this for the last time. I am not their punch bag and I certa
Wild Child POV.I get back to the hospital and park the cage in the underground parking. I grab my duffle bag and exit the cage. Locking it before I walk to the elevator. My mind is a whirlwind of thoughts. All about my girl, I’m itching to find who did this to her and make them hurt more than Sophie is.The elevator pings and I exit it as I walk towards the assessment ward. As I approach, I see Sophie being wheeled out on the bed. My eyes widen and I run towards where she is being taken.“Where are you taking her?” I demand and doc looks at me and rolls his eyes.“To the private ward. She is fine, Harry, she is still asleep.” Doc tells me, and I breathe a sigh of relief. I nod my head and follow behind him towards the private ward of the hospital.I wait until the bed has been secured and all her drips have been positioned at the side of the bed.“She won’t wake up yet. She is exhausted. Try to rest Harry. There is a coffee machine in the kitchen, over there. The sofa pulls out into
Wild Child POV.I watch and wait until Sophie is asleep. The combination of the pain medication and her crying has sent her to sleep. I stand from my place next to her bed. I lean over her and plant a gentle, tender kiss on her forehead. I fill find who did this to her and they will fucking pay.I leave the room and see doc who is writing on a chart as I walk towards him.“Doc, can we get her moved to a private room? Don’t worry about the cost I will pay for all her treatment. I will send two of my brothers to stand guard at her door. She deserves better than what happened to her.” I tell him and he sighs and rubs his forehead.“I have seen cases like this before and no matter how many times I see it, it is still heart breaking. Whoever did this to her, they are worse than animals. Domestic violence is no joke.” Doc says, and I nod my head. Because seeing her like that broke me.“Soph never told me about a boyfriend. So I’m not sure.” I say to him and he shakes his head with a sigh.“
Sophie POV.No matter how far away I run, they always manage to find me. I could fly to the moon and they would find me. I never understood why I was hated so much. Well, that’s a lie. They blame me for what happened. I am the reason she died.Our family was always so loving, so warm. Until that warmth and love died in a car accident. My father and brother blamed me. Hell, I even blamed myself. No matter what I did to make it right, it wouldn’t bring her back.I was five when it happened. Mom was driving us back from one of my dance competitions out of state. It was raining, and the road was slick. Mom lost control of the car and smashed into the central barricade. She died on impact. I didn’t.I wished every day that it was me who died, then maybe my father and brother would feel something other than hate towards me. My father and brother changed when they learnt mom died.At first my father was grieving, and he still loved me, then as time went on, he started drinking to numb the pa
Wild Child POV.I never quite understood all the hurrah when it came to babies and kids. I mean, come on, if you want something that whines and cries, shits, eats, sleeps and dribbles, then get a dog. Well, that was before I held this little miracle in my arms.She is so tiny, so perfect, soft. She is the perfect combination of both my little sister Harmony and her husband, Mav.Little Faith, with her blonde tuft of hair and those honey-silver eyes. The way her tiny hand grabs my index finger as she looks up at me from the safety of my arms.Only hours old, I feel something inside of me crack and fall away. I want this. I want to be the proud daddy of a child that is fifty percent me. I would love to feel this feeling again. I’m overwhelmed as I look at Faith. The tears blur my eyes and I know I want a family of my own.That I know now what has been missing for a while now. I want my own family, but in order for me to have what Harmony and my parents have, I need to find the perfect w
