Chapter 4

10 years ago….

The shop was filled with half-dressed woman and drunk men. It was only noon, and everyone was already celebrating. Jackal was once again missing, and Beau was sitting at the head of the table.

Looking around I realized it was just us. None of the others were sober enough for this meeting. The sons of the apocalypse MC members were mixed

in with our own and Axel, Jace, Brandon, Jesse were filing in.

I didn’t want to start without my brother. 

“How bad?”

“We need to get bloody.”

Beau's voice was cold. Growing up in this life didn’t leave room for the warm f. I wanted to get back to M. I knew Beau was curious as to what I’ve been up too without my brother around, but she was my secret. I didn’t want this fucking life touching her.

She had this air of innocence surrounding her. It was pureness I’ve never seen before. My life would only corrupt her. Fuck, I was going to corrupt her, and I couldn’t stay away. She had this magnetism about her. 

I couldn’t wait to get back to her. She was an addiction I never wanted to be cured of. I n’t explain the feelings I had for her. Fuck, I wasn’t one to have feelings up until I met . I thought I was dead inside.

I was like a hollow shell broken on the inside. One look at her and I was flooded with something I couldn’t put my finger on. Although, I knew that I needed her. 

 

“Tom needs to die.”

I ed as everyone nodded. Th was our way into the fold. I wanted this kill. 

“Clean?”

Beau looked at me and smiled He knew I was a black pit inside and this was something I would relish in.

“Call it a gift.”

I smiled and stood to leave.

I knew right where to find my new friend Tom. I hated him being in that house with her and I could tell it bothered her as well.

Although, M wouldn’t tell me that because she didn’t want me to get hurt. I never understood her need to save me, to protect me even from myself. I dragged my feet around the clubhouse to wait until darkess fell before heading home.

Jackal still didn’t make as appearance, which was something that didn’t go unnoticed to the other legacies My feet didn’t make a sound as I walked home. My room was dark when I entered It and was still out . My target was waiting for me, I just needed to wait for everyone to go to sleep.

 

I didn’t want Lucy to know so taking him from the house first was my only option. I t something twist in my stomach as I looked out my window and into her room. I could see shadows moving, something told me she needed me.

Rushing from my house, I made my way to hers. I don’t bother with knocking. I grabbed the doorknob, I ed and ed in anger as it opened easily. Did they not care about her safety?

Dolly was lucky she wasn’t one of my targets, I couldn’t kill her not without permission. I climbed the stairs two at time and d Lucy’s door open. The sight that greeted me had my stomach churning. 

Blood coated most of her tiny room. Tom was lying on the floor, his eyes staring lifelessly at the ceiling. At that moment something shifted in me. I felt more for Lucy than friendship or the need to protect. 

I think I understood why my brother was always gone. It was too bad he didn’t see the person who truly cared for him. Kara loved my brother and the dumbass was too fucking blind to piece it together.

One day he’ll pull his head out of his ass. I led around I saw no sign of Mouse, my heart plummeted. She killed my target and now she was gone. I had a feeling a dark, twisted feeling as to why Tom was in here.

I fucking hope the sick fuck didn’t get what he was after. I left the room, and ed my phone from my pocket.

“Beau I need clean up. The house next to mine.”

He grumbled something about maybe next time

I should find a better place to do it. I didn’t tell him it wasn’t me because telling him the truth meant Mouse would be known about and that just couldn’t fucking happen.
