“If that fucker hurts my grandson and the future mother of my other grandchildren, I will cut his balls off with my bluntest knife and feed them to him.”
My balls disappear up into my body at her threat, even if it is toward another man.
“Jesus, Mom. I am going to check out my house and see if Lilith is ready to close up. Maybe I can take her on a date.” I wink.
“Take some of the boys with you and let me know. Me and your father will keep Dom for the night.”
“Thanks, Mom.” I leave her in the kitchen, marching through the main room.
I see some of the guys and call out to them.
“Need back up. Some little cunts just shot paintballs at my house.”
“Same MO as the shit that happened to Lil’s place,” Travis states as we walk outside.
Finan, Travis, and Lennox follow me.
“Yeah.”
We mount up and ride to my house. I do not live far from the club; my parents wanted me as close as possible but far enough away so that me and Dom could take a break from the club life. Dom, like me and the guys, breathes for the club but I want him to experience being a kid outside of the club life also.
When the time comes, he will be given an option to prospect, or not. Back in the day, Lash’s and Sweets’ kids decided to not prospect and they all have great careers. Lash transferred to another club to be close to his kids, Sweets was missing them too much, then the grandkids started arriving.
Police are already at my house when we arrive. I shut off my bike and climb off, walking over to Cal and his deputies.
“Fuck, Jack. Sorry, brother. All of the front windows have been shot out. The forensic guys have picked up some of the paintballs and they have fucking metal pellets in them. If you were home, with Dom and Lilith, you guys would have been hurt.”
“Any idea of who the little shits were?” I hear Travis ask as I step close to my house.
My heart seizes in my chest and my blood runs cold when I see, right there on the wall, Dom’s name written using the paintballs.
“Fucking hell, brother.” Finan steps to me. “Breathe, Jack. Dom is safe; he is at the club. Everyone will be watching him. He is safe.”
“Jack, I have my guys canvasing to see if anyone has doorbell cameras or some security cameras. Yours were shot down. Where are Dom and Lilith?”
“Dom is at the club. Lilith is at work; I have two prospects on her.” Cal nods.
“You think this is linked to her ex?”
“Yeah,” I reply to Cal’s question. “But he has gone too fucking far this time. It was bad enough coming for my girl, but now targeting my son. He just signed his death sentence.” My fists clench at my sides as I growl the words.
“Best not be saying shit like that when I am in uniform, Jack,” Cal states, looking around and making sure that only my brothers are close by.
He may wear this uniform, but he is a part of the club now that he got claimed by Maverick and their woman, Darcy. They were made for each other; I love their dynamic. He may be the law, but he is also a Rugged Skull, and he will protect his family when called upon.
“Fucker will meet his end, Cal. He came after my woman and kid. No one hurts what’s mine.”
His eyes hold mine firmly; he knows that I am protective of what is mine. I may be one of the quieter ones of the club, but I am a fucking beast when I need to be. Do not fucking cross me, especially when it comes to my son.
“I have called the guy Pres uses to patch shit up. He is bringing some sheets of wood to board the windows up untilthey can get fixed. Doubt the insurance will cover this, brother,” Lennox explains, and I nod to him in appreciation.
“I need to see inside, Cal. Am I clear to do that?”
“Not yet. They will collect some evidence from inside of the property to add to what they already have. We need to build a case here, Jack. This prick cannot get away with tormenting a woman over the fact that she left him, after she caught him sticking his dick in her cousin. His ego must be the size of the Grand Canyon.”
“Oh, he is one cocky son of a cunt,” Lennox pipes up. “Maverick looked into his family, and apparently, they are just as bad as he is. Fuck, so is Lilith’s family, except her father.”
“Rich people think they can do what they want, fuck the consequences,” Travis adds.
