Everything was perfect.
And as she linked her arm through her mother’s, she couldn’t help but miss her dad, but she had a feeling he was there watching over them.
Ava walked out onto the snow-covered grounds, and as the music started to play, she looked toward where the priest stood.The club had turned the backyard into a small church, complete with two aisles.The entire club was there, so the yard was full.Pat was dressed in a tuxedo, but on top was his leather cut.Most of the club were always dressed in leather cuts.
When they walked to where Pat waited for her, he took her hand, reached out, and kissed Hazel’s cheek.
“I will always take care of her.”

She had found the love of her life, her soulmate, and there was no one else she wanted.Ava knew how rare this was.It was why her mother, after ten years, still wasn’t dating.She had found the love of her life, and no other man would ever measure up.
The priest began his sermon, and Ava heard the words but all she could see was her man.They were going to share a future together, and Pat had warned her that future was uncertain.
Lidia had gotten out of the hospital.
The sheriff’s building had been moved to temporary accommodations while the other was rebuilt.Dylan had also gotten out of the hospital.

They would figure this out.
Ava knew the enemy was out there, but she also had faith in her man, in the club, and she had sworn her loyalty to the Chaos and Carnage MC.She was not a member, but she was an old lady.

One check at the clock and he chuckled.“Five minutes.”
“But Santa doesn’t want me to wait five minutes.He delivered them and I’ve been a good girl.”
