"Avery why...why can't you just leave me alone?"
"Where is the fun in that, you dumb cunt? You are mine, I own you, which means I decide if you live or die. And guess what I choose? Tell me what I choose, Akira. Nothing? Cat got your tongue?” He laughs as if he has lost his mind. “I choose death, bitch!"
I take the phone from her. I need to make sure this prick understands the situation he's facing, and my anger is increasing with every degrading word he utters to Kira. "Listen, you cock sucker. I gave you a chance, the opportunity to live after the shit you did to both Kira and Danielle. But now that you can't seem to accept my gift, my gift to allow you to keep fucking breathing, it means you will get what is coming to you. Get your fucking affairs in order!"
"Do you know who the fuck I am?” Avery demands. “I guess Akira didn't tell you. I'm fucking Avery Hansen. Akira, you suckered you another white man, huh? Well listen, you whore, I'm coming and this time you won't make it."
Avery ends the call. I grab Kira by the hands and rub my thumb across the tops, looking her in the eyes. The pain, anger, and betrayal I see makes my heart clench. I can’t wait to get my hands on that motherfucker. "You all right, darlin’?"
She wipes a tear from her face and lowers her head. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"So, you all heard what kind of prick we’re dealing with. Let's handle him accordingly. Tiny and Loco, drive the trucks. Take Kira and Dani's bags. Everyone else, mount up. Kira, you're with me. Dani, you're with Razor."
Dani scrunches her nose in disgust and crosses her arms across her chest. "What the fuck, Austin? Why can't I ride in the truck instead of with him?"
"Because you’re safer with Razor. Now get your ass on the goddamn bike, Dani."
"Hold on tight." Razor gives Dani a wink, and she sticks her middle finger up at him. Kira and I laugh.
With fear written on her beautiful face, Kira gazes at the bike then back at me. "I'm riding on your motorcycle?"
"Of course, sweetheart. You are personally under my protection." Laughing at her uneasiness, I pull her closer to my body. "Don't be scared. There is nothing to it. Simply wrap your arms tightly around my waist." I whisper in her ear and her breath hitches. "Enjoy the ride. I sure as hell am."
Placing my hand on the small of her back, I escort her to my bike where she hesitantly gets on. With the roar of motorcycles breaking the silence, Demons United MC heads out to prepare for war.

Akira squeals,raising her arms up in the air after we pull up to the enormous beach house.
"Oh my God, that was so amazing! I felt so free!"
I'm unable to hold back my laughter at her reaction to the ride.
I grab her hand and help her off the bike, automatically interlacing our fingers. "Welcome to our home away from home."
As she gazes around at the beautiful landscape, her admiration of the scenery never falters. The house is a two-story, eight-bedroom, five-bathroom, colonial-style situated on a private beach. It has a beautiful wraparound porch, and the balcony located on the second floor also wraps entirely around the front of the house. The long walkway up to the front entrance is lined with pink and white cherry blossom trees that give the place a fairytale feeling.
"This is amazing!” she says. “Can we go to the beach or is it off limits?"
"Maybe you and Dani can head to the beach later, but for now, let’s get settled in first."
Dani walks up, notices our hands, and taps her foot. "Austin, can I speak to you one minute?"
"Sure, little sister. What's up?"
She crosses her arms across her chest and glares at me. "In private."
Kira reaches out and touches Dani on the arm. "Dani, are you all right?"
Dani gives me the death glare then gives Kira a reassuring smile. "Yeah sis, I’m good. I just need to speak with this idiot for a few minutes."
"Okay. If you’re sure you’re fine, I’ll head inside and survey the kitchen. That is, if you don't mind, Austin?"
"No problem. Mike will take you in, and we’ll be there in a minute." I release her hand so she can head inside. "Tiny, Loco, take one of the trucks. She needs everything on this list." I give them the list of supplies for Kira. "Razor, can you set up security while I talk to Dani? Then we’ll start the meeting when Tiny and Loco return."
Nodding, Razor heads in the opposite direction, leaving me alone with my seething sister.
