“I'm sorry for worrying you all.” Cam tells us all.

“Don't worry about it, Cam. We're all just glad you're okay, and we know what's going on. Shall we go home and leave your Aunt to do whatever she was going to do before she found you?” Wrath asks his son gently.

"Yeah, come on, I'm hungry now. I want Papa to cook for me.” Cam stands and starts to walk towards the front door, not waiting for his Dad to follow.

Everyone starts laughing about Wrath and Flame getting left in the wind by their son. They quickly follow behind him, flipping everyone off over their shoulders as they go.

“You handled that really well. I wouldn't have had a clue what the fuck to do if I found him like that.” Shadow says to me as he comes and sits down on the sofa.

“I didn't really know what to do other than be honest and comfort him until you all got here. Are you going to introduce me to everyone else?”

“Shit yeah, the giant fucker over there is Rock. Then the one covered in tattoos is Ink. The one with practically no hair is Eagle. Piston is the one leaning against the wall. They're all Officers for the club.”

So the one who spoke earlier was Rock. Ink is definitely covered in tattoos, but he's also got pale blue hair, which does something to make his gray eyes pop. I'm actually sort of jealous. Eagle does have hair, just not a lot at all; he's got it cut military short. You can still tell it's black, though, and his eyes are dark blue. Piston is the other one in the room. He has black hair like Eagle, but his is so much longer; it's tied up currently, so it's out of his face, and he's got green eyes. They're all ridiculously handsome and tall. Is there some sort of rule for joining this MC? Everyone I've met has been attractive in their own rights.

"Wow, bro, that's some lovely explanations of your friends' looks.”

Everyone bursts out laughing at my comment except for Shadow, who has his stupid pout back on his face.

“What the fuck is your face doing right now?” Blade asks Shadow, looking horrified.

All the other men turn and look at Shadow's face, and they all end up looking equally as horrified as Blade.

“He's pouting.” I inform them all, and they all just shake their heads.

“No grown ass man should ever have that look in his face. Fuck Shadow, please don't ever do that again; it's horrifying.” Eagle says with disgust in his tone.

“It's not that bad, guys.” Shadow says while dropping his bottom lip, so he's frowning.

"Yeah, it is.” They all reply at the same time.

"Okay, let's stop picking on Shadow and his ridiculous facial expressions; I need to ask. Is Jasmine coming to Cam's party?”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly goes from happy to wary.

"Yeah, she's coming; she's been told not to make a scene as it's Cam's day. She was warned before she left the other day; we couldn't exactly uninvite her, even though we really wanted to. She is still Cam's aunt.” Shadow informs us all. None of the men look happy about what he's saying.

“Maybe I should skip it.” Blade suggests.

"No, you're not skipping Blade. It's Cam's first ever party and his first birthday as part of the MC. You need to be there.” Shadow tells him seriously.

“I just don't want Cam's day ruined.”

“It won't be ruined. Now enough talk of you not coming. Let's tell this lot about how good my sister can kick ass.”

And that's what they do; they both tell the rest of the officers in detail about me taking down the Prospect and why. The respect in everyone's eyes when they hear what I've done means a lot to me. I've never had something like this before. I feel like I fit here as part of this MC. I can certainly say I've never fit anywhere before. God, I hope this lasts.

After a few hours of getting to know the Officers of Devil’s Inferno, they all clear out of my Dad’s house. Except for Blade. I’m happy he stayed; I want to spend some more time with him, just us.

We decide to have a chill night, watching movies and ordering takeout. I can’t help but cuddle into his side on the sofa as we watch some new action movie we both wanted to see. His arm wraps around me automatically, causing me to smile.

As the movie is coming to an end, my Dad comes home. He glances at us cuddling up together but doesn’t say anything. Just winks at me and walks into the kitchen. From that reaction, I’m guessing he doesn’t have an issue with whatever this is between me and Blade.

I’m glad. Don’t get me wrong, though, even if he didn’t like it. It wouldn’t have changed my plans with Blade. I’m my own woman, and I make my own choices, and my choice is Blade.

Blade clicks on another movie, and I can’t help but let my eyes start to close. The safety and comfort I feel in Blade’s arms is so relaxing. I don’t even make it halfway through the movie before I’m asleep.
