Harmony POV.I drive to my house and a sense of betrayal washes over me, which is just ridiculous. We weren’t a couple, and he didn’t betray me. He is single and can do whatever or whoever he chooses. It hurts, but I will get over it. This is why I don’t get my hopes up when it comes to men.I drive into my driveway and shut the engine off. I climb out and lock my cage, and walk to the front door. I walk inside and shut and lock the door behind me. My phone has been vibrating up a storm, and I have ignored it all.I pull my phone out of my purse and see the missed calls and messages from Mav. I delete them all and then block him.I don’t need this drama when I have so much going on. This is for the best. I just don’t have the time, anyway. I walk to the fridge and pull out a bottle of wine. I never drink, but this sure does call for it. One glass won’t hurt.I uncork the bottle and pour a glass. Removing my heels, I walk to the patio in the back and sit down.How could he welcome her
Maverick POV.I shouldn’t have agreed to have Felicity be under my watch and that shit she pulled has just caused murder. No sooner had I shut the door after Harmony drove away, I had a screaming match with Felicity and she started the waterworks, telling me we should be a family for Melody’s sake, I laughed so hard I was barely containing the rage building inside of me.I called one of the ole ladies to come to my home to watch Melody and Felicity. Even though that bitch had been locked in one of the bedrooms here. I needed to go and explain to Harmony that it was not what she thought.When I got to her home, she point blank refused to open the door, so I climbed over and staggered into her bins. Still, she refused and kept saying the same thing over. Go back to my daughter and ole lady.I was about to tell her there was nothing between me and Felicity when she turned to walk away; I grabbed her and kissed her. Knowing I had fucked up when she shoved me away.When she said it never s
Maverick POV.“Right, as you all know, my daughter Harmony was kidnapped from her home. There was a struggle and two guys were found dead. They are members of the Sons Of Hades.” The room erupts into angry shouts and accusations are thrown around.I sit quietly, knowing that the situation is about to be made a million times worse when they all find out that Felicity has escaped. She must have swiped the spare key for the windows and waited to escape.“Why target her? she has never hurt anyone.” Tank, Ripper’s son, asks and we all look at Rebel who is in full tactical gear and I know she means war.“She was their target all along. Think about it. Felicity, who, by the way, has escaped, told us the club was going to sell the kids. So tell me, boys, who would bring in more cash? The club kids or the club princess who is also part of the Mafia and Cartel?” Rebel says, and I can feel some of the member’s eyes burning holes into me.“Harmony.” Hound says and the members all murmur about how
Harmony POV.I have watched and observed my captures. They think they are slick that I don’t know that they are waiting for tonight to send me to the biggest auction of the year on New Year’s Eve.These people, especially Felicity and the club president Hank, are clouded by greed that they haven’t realised the massive fuck up they have committed by taking me hostage. It has been three weeks since I was taken and I have learned much from being here.Felicity the first day beat me while I was restrained, but I broke her nose with an epic head butt. She wanted me raped, but Hank had sense. He told her they would get more money if I remained intact. In other words, a virgin. She didn’t like that at all, but she finally agreed.I spend my days sitting and watching, listening and plotting. These people are idiots. Plain and simple.Clearly, they have forgotten something really important about me. I chuckle to myself. They forget that no auction house will ever take me knowing who my family
Maverick POV.I called Scythe with what I had found and he told me to return to the clubhouse after three weeks of searching and following leads. I rode like a bat out of hell to get back. No sooner had I returned I was called into Church. I had found a lead after one of the clubs I went to told me about this annual auction.My gut was telling me this is where they would take Harmony. The DeAngelis children and the Mother’s Revenge have been busting auctions across the country since they split the teams up and each took down an auction. So far, twelve have been closed down in three weeks.The rest of the club had travelled to other clubs, but the clubs I went to are into darker things. They, too, were destroyed. I am not called Outlaw for nothing. More like their executioner.I walk in to the clubhouse. Melody is at school that the ole ladies had set up for the school-age kids to attend with the help of the local schools. The town knows when we go into lockdown it means it’s bad and t
Harmony POV.We have been driving for a while with no breaks, so I have slept for the most part of the journey. I can’t tell if it’s still daylight, but I have a feeling it is starting to get dark. I hope that what Lucky told me is true and that my family is coming for me. If not, then it looks like I will have to fight my way out.“We are here.” Lucky says, and I groan and pretend to come round.“Looks like she will need another dose.” One of the bad brothers says and Lucky sighs.“No, too much will kill her and we need her lucid to stand on the stage. So no more. Besides, her new owners will knock her out before transport.” Lucky tells the idiot and the man grunts and agrees. Lucky takes a breath.“It won’t be much longer now Harmony, it will be over soon.” He says, and I nod my head.“I know, thank you Lucky.” I say when the van doors are open and the van jostles when whoever has entered to lift me and take me out. I’m carried over a shoulder again as we enter a building. The warm
Maverick POV.The MC is waiting outside the building, ready to storm the place. I can see some of the members of the Sons Of Hades. One in particular sees me and I know who he is. He is called Lucky and is Hank’s son.He nods his head once at me and I look at Wild Child and nod for him to follow me. The Princes Of Darkness are in penguin suits and I’m so uncomfortable. The bloody bowtie is strangling me and I can’t wait to take it off.“Lucky, what a coincidence.” I say to him and he looks at me and I now know who has been feeding us the intel. He is nothing like his father, and Melody would talk about her friend called Lucky. He and a few of his brothers would bring Melody food and clothes. So for that, I am grateful to him. He did try to get her out, but was caught.He spent two weeks in the cells for insubordination and was kept away from Melody until I took her away from there.“Outlaw, Wild Child. I know you are here for Harmony.” Wild child steps up to him and he is evenly match
Harmony POV.Once we arrived at my family’s private jets, I could see some of the members of the MC standing watch, armed to the teeth. Even some of the mafia guards were with them and some girls from the Mother’s Revenge. They all rallied for me. It brings tears to my eyes.If they didn’t come for me when they did, this would have been a very different ending to these events.The brothers and the mafia guards all averted their eyes when Maverick carried me towards the stairs of the private jet.“No one shoots my cat or there will be hell to pay!” I say loud enough as Mystique walks behind us. Maverick groans and I know he is thinking I’m crazy. Maybe I am. But Mystique is unique and all I want to do is protect her.Seeing her in that cage, scared and uneasy, broke my heart. She is a living, breathing, beautiful creature. She deserves better than that and I intend to give that to her.“We need to sedate her and get her in a cage, Harmony. She can’t just lie down. There isn’t enough ro
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
