Angel POV.“Angel Moretti. Why am I not surprised to see you here?” Danny asks with a snarl as I’m shoved onto my knees with my hands tied behind my back. I look at him and not at what is happening in the room.The moans and grunts are loud as members of this MC are fucking women in full view. Bile rises in my throat, knowing these women are not here willingly.“Well, I had to come and see you, Baby Face. After all, you took something that doesn’t belong to you. So here I am, to get it back. Oh, thanks for the picture by the way. It was genius, but it didn’t work.” I say when he slaps me and my head whips to the side. Tasting blood on my tongue, I spit it on the floor and look up at him.“You hit like a girl. My four-year-old hits harder than you.” I chuckle when the sounds of sex stops. I lift my chin defiantly.“You think I won’t kill you? After what you fucking did!” he spits as he grabs me up to my feet. His face inches from mine.“Don’t you get it. I can’t be killed. Many have tr
Angel POV.They all look at me in shock and then rage. “How did you escape?” Dane snarls as he stalks to me and I lift my head with a bored expression on my face.“I’m Angel fucking Moretti, that’s how. Danny knows how many times I have escaped death. But saying that. You are an amateur when it really comes down to it. Right Captain.” He stops in his tracks and winces slightly at the rank.I lift my guns at him. I see Mischa. She silently removes her heels and I look back at Dane. and all the members are now solely focused on us. He laughs, a loud booming laugh as his men follow his example. Sheep, all of them are sheeple.“So you know my rank, big deal. What you working for, JAG?” he steps closer like a hungry wolf eyeing its potential prey. He needs to realise even a rabbit has teeth.“Maybe I am. Maybe I’m not. But you would know why they are after you. I’m even more certain your entire unit knows why. But just so we are clear. You will die here tonight. Know that it is Angel Moret
Savage POV.It has been two months since what went down with the Hell Raiders MC and the betrayers of our club. My father was released three days after he was shot. He wanted to leave sooner but my mom put her foot down with him even though he grumbled about it. I know he loves it when mom goes all alpha female on him.Angel, well, she is a different story. She moved back here into my house. She hasn’t been punished yet because the punishment I have for her requires her to be naked. I won’t be forgetting about what she did anytime soon and I will wait until she is ready to open that part of herself to me once more. I’m not pushing her for that step. She will decide when she is ready for that.I have taken back my position as president of the club and my first order of business is to raise the issue about the club girls. I’m not comfortable with them being here or even being a part of this club. I know many of the ole ladies have fears that their men will stray and if I’m being honest;
Angel POV.I wake up feeling like utter shit. It’s dark out. I’m drained, but I know I have much to do. Ryder is now the president once more. So he has been busy with the club and I have been busy with Rebel and the mission to close down the trafficking rings and auction sites.I roll out of bed quite literally as I make my way to the bathroom. A dizzy spell washes over me, but I brace myself and take a few breaths. Yeah, it doesn’t help that I have been missing meals. I used the bathroom and turned the shower on. Needing to get ready for the day.I strip down and enter the shower. The hot water sings to my soul as I let it wash away the sleep when it hits me. How did I end up in bed? I remember playing with Rebel and Boomer and then feeling tired. So we all took a nap. Then nothing.I sigh as I reach for the body wash and puff; I pour a generous amount of the creamy, coconut scented liquid and get to work washing away the sleep and tiredness. I’m blasted with cold air as I feel a har
Angel POV.Sitting in the kitchen at the island in the home I now share with Ryder. I look at my laptop until my brows furrow. This can’t be right. Dad asked me to check on the family’s legitimate businesses and their inventory.My family owns many businesses, from little stores, restaurants, nightclubs, casinos, and strip clubs. I’m currently checking the finances from the strip club known as Temptress. The first one was destroyed, so they rebuilt it.We were kept away from the business side of things, but since I’m the DeNucci heir, I have to check on these businesses, as some of them are in my mom’s name. Unfortunately for me, the strip club is one of them.But something isn’t adding up. I reach for my phone and call my mom. This was her responsibility, but from the figures, it looks like someone is skimming.“Hello, princess. Everything ok?” she asks and I can hear she is driving.“Momma, when was the last time you went to Temptress?” I ask her as I hear my brother in the backgrou
Angel POV.Children, I’m dealing with children! I thought it was bad travelling with Nate and Nico, but Ice and Ripper take the cake. All they have done is squabble since we left the gas station two hours from home. I’m even contemplating shooting them, or throwing them from a moving vehicle.I reach for my bag and take out the painkillers and a bottle of water. I pop two pills and massage my temples, waiting for the ache in my head to leave.“Will you two please just shut the fuck up!” I snap and they go quiet as I groan and close my eyes tight. A large, warm hand lands on my thigh and squeezes. I open my eyes and look at him. He is looking concerned.“You ok?” he asks and I nod my head as I take a few breaths in to alleviate some of the pain.“Angel, you don’t look too good. You sure you’re ok?” I nod my head. I rummage through my bag and find my sunglasses and put them on, leaning my head back against the headrest.“I’ll be fine.” I say as I close my eyes, needing quiet and dark. T
Angel POV.I sit on the end of the bed looking at the two pink lines, and nothing is registering. How is this possible? I mean, I know how, but still.Can I go through that again? What happens if I lose it again? What if …“Angel, get out of your head. I know what you’re thinking. Nothing is going to happen. You will be fine.” Ryder says to me, taking my hand in his. I take a breath and try to process this. I can’t think about this right now. I have to sort this theft out in Temptress. That is the reason we are here. But it changes everything.“I can’t do this.” I mumble to myself as I look down at my lap. I don’t mean the pregnancy. I mean all this bullshit with the family businesses. I can’t do it. I can’t risk anything happening again.“What do you mean? Do you mean the pregnancy …”“No, I mean the businesses. We lost one child. I can’t lose another. I need to speak to my momma. She needs to sort this mess out.” I say as I look up at him and he smiles softly down at me. I lean my h
Ryder POV.I look at Angel as she sleeps. Every so often, she whimpers and wiggles closer to me. I run my fingers lazily through her long blonde hair. She calms down. That nightmare she had last night shook her to her core. It hit home that she is dealing with so much and this pregnancy is going to unlock all kinds of fears for not just her, but me, too.I will do everything in my power to show her that she is safe and nothing will happen. I move out of bed after I kiss her on the head. I head to the bathroom and do my business. Washing my hands, I enter the bedroom again and see she is hugging my pillow. I smile at this. I throw on a pair of sweats and leave the room. Keeping the door open.I make my way down the hallway and down the stairs to get to the kitchen. I make a start on drinks and breakfast. The front door opens and I look around the corner and see Ice and Ripper coming in, looking worse for wear. It seems they had a good night. I yawn and go back to cooking.“Yo prez.” Ic
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
