After breakfast is over Viper stands up. “Church!” he bellows.

Cara looks up and glares at him and he smirks at her. Muttering something under her breath about castrating his ass, she heads for church. Bianca tells me she’s going to my parents to check on the girls and kisses me goodbye.

I call Levi over to the table. “Shadow her. Don’t let her know you’re following her, but make sure gets there safe.” He nods and takes off after Bianca.

I don’t trust Ivy. I’m not letting my woman have a moment alone until that bitch is in the ground. Once we’re seated, Axel looks at the girls with a devilish smirk that lets us know he’s about to mess with them.

“How was that anaconda in the ass, Cara?” he asks.

The entire room roars with laughter. My sisters grab their heads, shrinking into their hoodies. When Cara looks up, she removes her glasses to reveal the heat in her eyes.

“Do you like your dick being attached to your body?” she asks sweetly.

“Because we can definitely help with that,” Sara says, whipping out her switchblade.

Axel’s smirk falls and he swallows. “Why do you two always go for a man’s dick?” he hisses.

“Because it’s the most valuable thing you own,” Sara says with a shrug.

All the guys are shaking their heads, and some look over with wide eyes. The Louisiana and Tennessee chapters aren’t used to women being in church or seeing them be as blood thirsty as us. Viper raises his gavel and Cara looks over with a pleading pout. With a smirk on his face, he gently taps it against the table.

“Pussy whipped.” Crow snickers.

“You got that fuckin’ right.” Viper laughs.

See what I mean?

Fuckin’ torture! I don’t need to hear this. “Okay, Crow and Razor, I need to borrow a few of your men. The remaining Knights are back. I don’t know what their plan is, but I want the women and kids around here heavily protected.”

Crow and Razor think it over and both agree, each lending Viper six of their men. The rest of the meeting goes by smoothly with new security detail plans that Sara, Cara, and Torch add into the systems. The shit those three have come up with has made the clubhouse untouchable. When church ends, the girls hightail it back to their rooms to sleep.

I head straight for my parents’ house and find Bianca, Victoria, and my mom laughing it up like old friends on the couch. “Daddy!” my babies shriek and run to me. When I kneel to catch them in a hug, they end up tackling me to the ground, going on and on about the adventures at Gigi’s house. That’s what all the kids call my mom.

I sit on the ground and listen to all their stories about my mom, dad, and Victoria. By the time we leave, the girls are still hyped from their time at my parents and asking when they can go back. I love how my life is going. The only thing that’s hanging over my head is Ivy and the Knights.

Soon, both will come to an end.

ChapterFourteen

BIANCA

Today, my mom has her surgery. My nerves are all over the place. The procedure is going to take about six hours and I don’t know how I’m going to keep calm for that long, waiting to hear back from the doctor. Cam and his siblings are here with their significant others, and we have a few of the club brothers here as well. Viper left the majority of them at the compound to protect Paul and Crystal since they have all the kids with them.

Viper gave the women strict instructions not to go anywhere without them. I don’t think the Knights will make their move in a hospital, but I’m not going to test the theory.

Right now, I’m in the room with my mom, waiting for Dr. Mathews to come and take her off to surgery. Cam and Smoke are in here as well. The past week I’ve watched him with my mom, and they seem like they really like each other.

It’s weird seeing my mom be so smitten with someone. There were a few guys over the years, but no one really stuck around. I don’t know if her being a single mom had anything to do with it or not. I’m happy for my mom. After all those years of her taking care of me and being alone, she deserves this new happiness she’s found with Smoke.

Smoke is smoothing my mom’s hair down with one hand and holding her hand with the other. He keeps reassuring her everything will be alright.

“How do you know everything is going to be okay?” Mom asks with a shaky voice.

Smoke chuckles and shakes his head. “Because life wouldn’t be so cruel to gift me with such a beautiful woman after searching for over two decades just to take her from me.”

Mom’s eyes soften as a few tears fall and she nods. Smoke leans forward and plants a kiss on her forehead. Looking over to my man with wide eyes, he just gives me a cheeky grin. I didn’t know they were this serious. They’ve only known each other a little over three weeks. I guess I have no room to talk since I’m basically married to Cam in the eyes of bikers.

After fifteen minutes, Dr. Mathews comes into the room and takes my mom away to surgery. I break down completely, watching them wheel her bed away. Cam wraps me in his arms and holds me while I cry. Once we’re settled in the family waiting area with his siblings and club brothers, the wait begins.
