Harmony POV.My hands are sweating with nerves and anticipation. The butterflies in my stomach are going into overdrive.Are we rushing into this?“I love you too Mav, do you want to come inside?” I ask him, as we are both still in the cage outside my house. He is silent and I wait for him to answer. He turns in his seat to completely face me, and my heart is in my throat. Oh god that was such a stupid question. Is he expecting more?“Harmony, baby, I would love nothing more than to come inside with you,” He sighs and reaches for my cheek. I find myself leaning into his warm palm and closing my eyes.“Let’s not rush anything. I don’t want you to feel pressured that after we have had a great night that you have to do that for me. Harmony, I can wait and I want you to be one hundred percent certain. So let’s not rush anything. Yes, I have told you I love you and I do. I’ve not said it to get you into bed. I would love nothing more than to do that with you, only when the time is right. B
Harmony POV.My day has just flown by and the smile has not left my face one. Not when the coffee machine decided to play up, or the construction crew hit a water pipe. Nothing can bring this smile down. It’s all because of him, my man, Mav.Gosh, it feels amazing calling him my man. The primal part in me is proud, puffing her chest up and roaring to the heavens in happiness.When I entered the clubhouse to collect Mystique, I stop in my tracks and hear the sobs and cries of a woman. She is pleading with my parents about something.“You can’t do this! He would never do what you have accused him of. I will have you and your club wiped out!” She screams as her legs give out and she lands on her knees.“What is going on?” I ask as I walk closer to my parents, who are watching the woman.“Oh, nothing to worry about. She is here to plead for her man. According to her, he is innocent and we are to blame for the path he chose.” My momma says to me and I look from her to the woman sobbing on
Harmony POV.Well, this is awkward. My dads are both looking at me like I did something against humanity and my momma, well, she is smirking knowingly. But there is nothing to know, I haven’t done anything.“Ok, go on, what is it you all want?” I ask as I walk further into the office and slump in the chair across from them.“Well, you and Outlaw look cosy. Something you want to tell us?” Dad Dylan asks and I shake my head at him when dad Dante rolls his eyes.“Give her a break, Dyl. She isn’t a little girl anymore. Who she is with is none of our business. Unless he hurts her, then it becomes our business. So lay off. You weren’t like this with Harry, so cut the dramatics.” Dad Dante tells him and I smile at him and dad Dante winks at me.“She is our baby girl. Of course, it is our business.” I roll my eyes at him and anyone else would be mortified to be having this conversation with their parents but not me. Growing up, I learnt quickly that there were no secrets between us.Hell, whe
Harmony POV.I watch as Felicity lifts her head slowly and I can see the tear streaks on her face. She looks at me and her eyes are red from all the crying she has been doing.“You wanted to speak to me? Well, here I am. So let’s talk.” I say to her again and she looks from me to the people with me. She wipes her face and nose on her sleeve.“Thank you for coming. I wanted to apologise for everything we did to you. I know it was a mistake and I’m sorry for it Harmony, please believe me. I was out of my mind with the drugs and booze. All I want is to make peace with you,” she says as she staggers to stand before she falls to her knees and bows her head at me.I look at my momma and raise an eyebrow at her and she shakes her head and I know she is not believing this, just like I’m not. It will take more than a simple sorry to make what she and that club did to not only me, but to everyone they came in contact with. A sorry will not make any of it right.“You want to make peace with me?
Maverick POV.Seeing those beautiful golden honey coloured eyes dim slightly hurt my chest. Watching as Harmony walked past us with no expression on her face, I know she didn’t want to do it, but she did it anyway.We all turn to watch her walk away. Her head held high, her back ram-rod straight, her steps don’t falter, not once. But it’s her hands that give her away, not because they are shaking but because she has balled her fists tight.The room is deadly silent as we all watch her move out of sight. I turn my head and look at everyone in this room.“She never raises a gun for that purpose again.” I state as I look at my presidents and the other members.“She never will, not again. Go after her Mav, make sure she is ok. Because I know she won’t be,” Rebel says as she squeezes my shoulder and I look down at her. I nod my head and make off to follow Harmony. I jog through the prison and outside. I look around for her, blinking from the glare of the snow.I follow her footprints in th
Harmony POV.Oh god this is it. I’m going to lose my virginity to the man I love with all my heart. This is going to mean something more to me than what it would mean to most people.Mav is kissing me slowly once more and I’m going crazy with the need to touch him, taste him, fell him. I want him, all of him.Mav breaks the kiss and stares down at me with a small smile on his face. He moves back onto his heels before he moves off the bed and I instantly miss his body heat. I watch as he removes his cut, then his tight black long-sleeved top. His abs flex and stretch as he pulls the fabric over his head. I gulp at the sight of his bare chest. I instinctually close my legs.My clit throbs just from the sight of him. Heat pools in my belly and I know I’m wet. My breathing becomes harsh and my heart is beating so hard with anticipation as I watch him remove his boots and socks. His eyes not leaving mine as his large veiny hands reach for the belt and he removes it. I don’t think I’ve blin
Harmony POV.It has been three weeks since Mav and I slept together, and everything has been going amazingly well. Everyone was super happy for us and little Melody was made up that her daddy and I were together.Mav is so gentle and loving and it still amazes me that for such a big burly guy, he has that soft side of him, the side only Melody and I are privileged to see.Mav is currently on a club run and I am in my happy place. Books and Brews. Catching up with paperwork. I’m pretty sure Harry has been sneaky putting some of the orders for the club owned businesses in with what I have to do. I swear that big brother of mine is a lazy ass, but I don’t mind helping in any way I can.The mommy, daddy and me sessions have grown in popularity and so I have had to expand on the days for these sessions. We have another event happening this weekend to raise funds for the children’s hospital and the local women’s shelter. We donate what we can to both. The local community also helps with the
Harmony POV.All week I have been racking my brain about where I had seen that man before and it is really driving me mad. I know I’ve seen him before but still can’t pinpoint where exactly.I shake my head to rid myself of the thoughts and smile instead. Today is the day of the Candy Wonderland party to raise funding for the women’s shelter and the children’s hospital.The ole ladies and locals have really outdone themselves. The clubhouse and club grounds look magical. Giant pink and white cane canes stand on either side of the clubhouse steps. There are big lollipops in various colours and individual candies decorated all around. Some hanging from the branches of trees and in the grass on display.There are huge ice cream cones, donuts, cakes, balloons with confetti that look like sugar strands, giant gummy bears, jelly beans that are little chairs. The place would give the witch from Hansel and Gretel a serious case of envy.It looks spectacular, all in pastel colours. I nod happi
Harmony POV.It has been a rough few weeks since the whole Joel incident. The DeAngelis family were informed, and they interrogated Dana. She didn’t know anything. Joel approached her in a bar, knowing who Lucky was. He told her he was a friend of her son and she believed him because she was desperate. We let Dana go, and she promised she would stay away and if Lucky ever contacted her, that was on him. He hasn’t.We had Joel’s phone and handed everything over to Gabriella DeAngelis and with her and her family and mine; they went after every contact in Joel’s phone, finding more auctions and shut them all down.They made examples of each person. In a few sort weeks, the world knew what was happening, and it caused mass riots until the higher ups had to get actively involved to help in the efforts to stop the auctions.I think Benito, my cousin, had a huge part to play in that. He is the mafia king now, after all. Rumour has it that he personally went to the President and told him what
Harmony POV.I land on my knees beside Mystique, not looking at Joel who is spluttering and choking on his blood. I move my shaky hands to check her over. My hand moves to her chest, feeling something warm and slick.He shot her; she took the bullet meant for me.“Mystique, no, no, no, no. Get someone to help. He shot her. Come on, girl, you will be OK,” I say even though I know deep down I am kidding myself.The doctor comes over, kneeling beside me, and checks her over.“Here, let me help. We need to stop the bleeding, but she needs someone who is a vet that specialises in big cats.” He says as he adds pressure to Mystique’s wound.“Tank, he used to work at the zoo. He would know. Dad, get Tank in here now!” I scream as I run my hand through Mystique’s fur. She isn’t whimpering or yowling, she is laying still just watching me. She is panting hard, but is calm.I hate what she had to endure to become the killing machine she was bred to be.“Baby, she will be ok. Come on,” Mav says as
Harmony POV.A few hours before the rescue!I’m in shock. Joel said I was pregnant. How did he know that? I try to see anything out of the ordinary. I twist my body and look at the inside of my elbows and there is a small bandaid. The Bastard took my blood. But why?Ok, I’m not that thick. Clearly he is checking for any diseases because, you know, according to him, I’m unclean. Fuck Joel, when I get out of here. He is going to wish his dad beat him to death, because what my family will do to him will make him wish for death.I push back against the wall. Bringing my legs up. I push my back and feet as I start to slide up the wall. Sweat is beading against my forehead with the energy I am using. Once standing. I look around the room; the sun is going to rise soon.I need to find something to cut these restraints and then find a weapon. Joel will be back soon, and I need to be ready for when he does.Using the wall, I shuffle as quietly as I can. I grit my teeth with each millimetre I m
Maverick POV.We follow Mystique as she runs in the middle of the road, dodging and weaving through traffic. We have been riding for hours and Mystique is showing no signs of stopping, only accelerating.We aren’t even in our state. As we ride, more and more bikers have joined in the convoy. It looks like we have an army with us. Even Savage is in the convoy as we barrel forward when Mystique manoeuvres to the right and I follow her as she leaps over a car causing the car to swerve, but it doesn’t crash. As I ride past, the driver who is shaken gives me a thumbs up. I nod my head and rev the throttle and try to catch up with Mystique.She manoeuvres again, leaping over a barbed wire fence. Shit! I brake hard; the bike going up onto the front tyre as I land back down. Mystique is a blur of black as she runs.The convoy comes to a stop behind me. I dismount from the bike and look at the fence in front of me.“What’s the holdup?” Scythe says as he comes up to my side and I point to the f
Harmony POV.I wake my head foggy, my arms bound behind my back, my legs tied together and a gag in my mouth. I’m laying on my side and the room is dark. I listen for any noise and struggle against my bindings, but it’s useless. Ok I need to save my energy.Fucking Joel. Why now? Well, that’s a pretty stupid question. I did destroy his operation, and he has been waiting for this opportunity to take me for a while.I look around the room, my eyes adjusting to the dark. The room is dark, but I can smell dust and damp. Wherever the asshole has taken me, it’s old and hasn’t been cleaned in a while.I wiggle to try to move closer to the wall, but stop when I hear the sound of boots on the floorboards, the creaks of each step. I go still and close my eyes again, calming my breathing so it looks like I’m still knocked out.I hear a key, the turning of a lock, and the door creaks open as the footsteps get closer to me.“What am I going to do with you? Oh, that’s right, I know exactly what I’m
Maverick POV.A rough tongue licks my cheek and a yowling purr like chuff is really loud in my ear. I raise my hand with a groan and push the sound away. But it is too strong and won’t budge.I lay limp on the ground feeling a snuffly nose trying to rouse me. But I’m too comfortable.When a loud roar makes me jump to my feet. I look around the room, my eyes wide with panic. My mind is foggy and I try to remember what happened.Harmony.“Harmony, Harmony, where are you, baby?” I call through the house when I hear another yowl and turn to see Mystique sitting in the doorway of the front door, facing the street, calling out into the night. My fear rises in my chest as I scan the room, looking for Harmony.I run up the stairs and search every room for any sign of Harmony, but there is nothing. I’m still calling her name when I run back down the stairs, falling down the last three.I pull at my hair, knowing she is gone. My phone rings and I pull it out of my pocket and see it’s Rebel call
Harmony POV.Going back to the party, I put on a happy face, no matter the turmoil inside of me or the uneasy feeling in my stomach. Today is about the children and the survivors of domestic violence.I smile like nothing is wrong and Mav is watching me closely. He is just staring at me in disbelief that one second I’m shaking and crying, the next I’m laughing and smiling like nothing happened.“You should get into acting.” Mav says to me and I smile up at him, but I know the smile doesn’t fully reach my eyes. He knows this too. He kisses my orange face and I chuckle as he pulls back with orange face paint on the tip of his nose, lips, and chin.“You got face paint on you.” I say as I use my sleeve to wipe it from him, and he chuckles.“Good luck getting that paint off your face. I wouldn’t be surprised if the orange has stained your skin.” He chuckles and my eyes widen. Oh, well bugger. I didn’t think of that when I applied it to my face.“I know what you’re doing.” I say to him and
Harmony POV.Hearing Joel’s name brings back all the sadness. Why didn’t I see it sooner? He has changed so much since I last saw him. I’m numb to Joel and what he does for a living. But what he did to me? That will stay with me forever. I thought I locked it away. Clearly I didn’t.Yes, he drugged me, but he didn’t touch me. My family knows that, but maybe he didn’t because Harry found me before he could. I only remember parts of that night. We were at a friend’s party and he was with me to protect me. Little did I know at the time I needed protecting from him.He handed me a drink and told me he would stay by my side. So I didn’t question it when I drank the laced drink. I didn’t smell anything that struck me as odd. I was fifteen. The drink wasn’t even alcoholic.Joel knew my parents would have killed him if I arrived home drunk. So I was drinking juice. I finished the drink and danced for a while when I started feeling dizzy and sick.Next thing I know I woke up in hospital after
Maverick POV.I’m all partied out. Melody is on a sugar high and is running round like an overactive squirrel on a massive energy boost. I did try to limit the candy and all the goodies she was eating, but the little madam was sneaking them. Her hair, which took me an hour to do, was hanging loose. The buns long gone. She has glitter all over her and her white top isn’t white anymore. Rookie mistake on my part.But she has had fun and so have I. I have hardly seen Harmony, but I have had eyes on her. I mean, you can’t miss her with the green wig and orange face. She looked amazing. Everyone put in the effort for today and I am proud to be a part of this club.POD has set the standards for all the other clubs and even though the other clubs help in their territories, no one goes above and beyond like POD does, and I am so proud to be a member.The praise Harmony and the club have received throughout today has been overwhelming. The women from the shelter and the kids from the hospital
