“You will never touch her again. You won’t talk to her. You won’t even look at her. Tell me you understand what I’m telling you, Grant.”

“F-f-fuck you.”

“You just don’t learn, do you?” I clenched my hand around Grant’s throat, cutting off his oxygen until he passed out. “Asshole.”

Walking out of Grant’s room, I witnessed Miguel coming back from the restroom. Good timing.

I nodded my head and called out to him, “We’ll take care of that donation before hockey season starts, Miguel.”

“I appreciate it, Blade. Thank you. Everything good here?”

“Yes sir. The patient is sleeping soundly. Have a good night.” I saluted him with two fingers and walked away down the hall the way I came up. Taking the stairs back down to the main floor.

Leaving the hospital and climbing on my bike, I rode back to Grams’ house, only to find Becca had gone over to the clubhouse by herself.

Fuck.

I rushed to the clubhouse, hoping Becca was with the girls. What I found inside enraged me.

I stalked across the room, standing behind Angel, an enforcer from the Mother Chapter. His full road name was the Angel of Death. He was going to meet the Angel of Death if he didn’t get his hands off my woman.

Hearing the exchange between Angel and Jade only added fuel to an already blazing inferno that coursed through my veins.

“She told you Beck wasn’t available. I suggest you take Jade up on her offer.”

Angel turned around, keeping Becca’s hand firmly in his grasp.

I saw her wince, and my anger burned hotter.

“Excuse me?”

“Did I stutter, asshole?”

Angel finally released Becca’s hand and stood toe to toe with me.

“Maybe you have forgotten the rules,asshole. The Mother Chapter gets the first pick of the club whores.”

“She’s not a whore,” I snarled.

Angel looked back at Becca, folding his arms over his chest. “She’s not wearing a cut. That makes her available.”

Now, most people would think he was relaxed, or even bored, but I knew better. I knew he was ready to strike in a flash.

“What the fuck is going on over here?” King walked over, followed by Steele and Stone, the President and VP for the Mother Chapter. Followed by Grace, who shot me a wink. Rachel, Lily and Jade surrounded Becca. They were being guarded by Cash, Jack, Jingles, Ace and Ghost. King stepped between Angel and me, putting himself in Angel’s line of sight. The music shut off, and every brother in the room watched to see what happened.

“Your boy here doesn’t wanna follow the rules,” Angel sneered.

“And what rule is that?” King asked, his hands on his hips.

“The Mother Chapter gets first pick of the club whores,” Angel boasted.

King glanced over his shoulder at me. “That true?”

I stood tall next to my president, knowing shit was about to hit the fan. Gunner silently stepped up behind King, ready for anything at a moment’s notice.

“I came in and found him trying to drag Beck upstairs. Jade tried to stop him. She offered herself and Crystal instead and told him Beck wasn’t available.”

Angel tried to step toward me. “She ain’t wearing a fucking cut!” he bellowed. Looking back at King, he smirked. “I wasn’t dragging her. I was leading her.”
