Chapter Twenty-Nine

Blade

When I get the text about Church, I'm happy. Hopefully, that means we were finally going to come up with plans to do with Sabbatini, and maybe Tech had information on the perverts from Sera’s past. It also means I could hopefully get her voted in as my Ol’ Lady.

As I walk towards the door for Church, I see Pete is the Prospect on the door. Not that I expected anyone else; with Eric gone and Jake still recovering, he’s actually the only Prospect we have right now. Pulling my phone from my back pocket, I hand it to him with a head nod.

Walking into the room where we hold Church, I see I’m the last Officer to arrive; everyone else is already seated. I can see not all the other members are here yet, so I’m not causing a holdup. Thankfully. I’m not sure Wrath would be impressed if one of his Officers were late.

Walking over, I take my seat at the end of the table. Wrath as President is sitting in the center, with Shadow on his left, followed by Piston, Ink, and then Flame. Eagle is on Wrath’s right, with Rock next to him and me next to Rock. We’re positioned like this as an extra layer of protection for the Officers. To get to any of them, someone has got to get past an Enforcer first, and that’s not a fucking easy task.

As I drop into my seat, I see the door being pulled closed by Pete. That must mean everyone is here. Hopefully, we can get all this dealt with quickly. I haven’t seen Sera today, and I miss her.

Wrath bangs down his gavel, signaling the start of Church. I listen with one ear as all the Officers run through their normal reports. The rest of my attention is on the members. After all the traitors we’ve experienced recently, I can’t help but be suspicious and cautious. I can’t see anything suspicious with anyone, though. I'm surprised to see Flash here, and even more shocked when he reports Jake has been released from the hospital and at home with his brother's, much to his annoyance. I'm just glad he's clearly on the mend and will hopefully be back here, where he belongs, before we know it.

“Right, now on to Sabbatini. As you’re all aware, he wants my sister, and that’s not happening. What have you learned Tech?”

“He was hoping Patricia would manage to get her, but when that didn’t work. Let's just say that from the messages I saw, he wasn’t happy. I expect him to contact you next; it’s the only play he’s got left.”

“Even if he contacts me, I’m not handing him my sister. I’ll kill him first.”

“Not if I get to him first, Prez.” I say interrupting them. “She may be your sister, but she’s my woman. I’ll be fucked if I let anyone take her away from me.”

Wrath’s eyes fill with respect at my words.

“Does that mean you're making her your Ol’ Lady?” He asks, smirking.

"Yeah, I was going to ask for a vote today.”

"Okay, then, let's do it. All in favor of Sera being Blade’s Ol’ Lady?”

Watching, every hand in the room raises. If I were an emotional sort of man, I might cry, but I’m not. I just smile wide. Nodding my head.

"Well, it’s official. Sera is Blade’s Ol’ Lady. Grab your property of kutte out of storage when we’re done. Oh, and Blade. Welcome to the family.”

That right there is a seal of approval, if I’ve ever seen one. I can’t wait to see Sera with my name on her back. Officially making her mine. The conversation once again turns back to Sabbatini. We’re still in a holding pattern with him until he makes a move. I fucking hate it. I just want him dealt with and my woman safe.

Wrath bangs the gavel down once more, signaling the end of the meeting. Everyone leaves except for Tech and the Officers. Once we’re alone, Tech walks over and places his laptop in front of me.

“There’s your list. That’s every man I could find through Patricia’s records who either received a picture or touched her. I’ve also wiped away any trace of the pictures online.”

“Thanks Tech. Do you have a physical copy of this list?”

Walking to where he was set up, I see him pick up a pile of paperwork and bring it back to me. I chuckle when he places it in front of me.

“Thanks man. We’ll figure out a way to end these pricks. Good job, though.”

Tech just smiles, picks up his laptop, and leaves the room. I know I need to study what’s in front of me before I can do anything. I also know I need to include her family in this too. It’s not just me who wants revenge and justice.

“Let us know when you’re ready.” Wrath says as he stands.

The rest of us stand to leave too, knowing there’s nothing else Wrath wants to discuss right now. I leave and head straight for storage to grab Sera's kutte. I want to give it to her as soon as possible. It’s time she officially became my Ol’ Lady.

Chapter Thirty

Sera

With everyone in Church, it leaves me to entertain myself in The Common Room. It’s so weird that it's so quiet and empty here; normally, it’s full of members living their best lives. I figured while I had a free minute, I’d start working on something for my Dad. I hate that he has nothing of me and the twins together growing up. So I’m making him something. I have a few baby photos of myself, and I actually got Tech to send me pictures of the twins when they were ten.
