“We aren’t leaving this city until we take them down,” I say with rage in my tone.

“We are with you on that. Any way we can help you, sister,” Enzo says, and I stand up and hug each one of my brothers for a long time. I missed them so much and didn’t think I would ever see them again.

“Who knew Arturo would get so huge?” Dario says with a grin while looking at Bear.

“How did you know it was me?” Bear asks, raising an eyebrow.

“You and Nik could be twins,” Lorenzo says with a chuckle.

“I think it’s time we do a little cleaning. This city needs it,” I say.

“You’re right. There is nothing to be proud of in the family. There is no loyalty in it anymore,” Dario says, shaking his head.

“I think it’s time for Alessandro to fall. What better way than at the hands of his children?” I say with an evil grin.

My brothers and the club smirk at my words.

“Nik and Derek were right. You are a badass bitch now,” Enzo says.

I shrug my shoulders. “I made sure I was strong enough to protect my family. First, I trained in case anyone came after me, but I kept at it following my training as I knew this day would come and I would do anything to protect my children and grandchildren.”

“I can’t wait to hear more about it. I see there are two of your boys here,” Lorenzo says, looking over at Tyson and Aiden.

I nod my head. “Boys, these are your uncles: Lorenzo, Dario, Enzo, Antonio, and Marco. These are my boys, Tyson and Aiden; but they go by Torch and Steal.”

My boys look at my brothers with wide eyes. I kept that I had brothers from them and, as much as that hurt to do, I didn’t want to risk anything.

“I hope we can get to know each other. I know we missed a lot, but we didn’t want to chance that Alessandro and Matteo would find Lilianna,” Antonio says.

“As long as you don’t try to force my mom back into this life and with that piece of shit,” Torch says with a bit of anger in his voice. I look at him in surprise at his words.

“Yeah, Bear told us the full story. He thought it was time everyone knew. Once we knew what you were walking into, there was no way we were going to let you do this alone.”

“I’m sorry I kept so much from you. As you see, my father would go to any lengths to get me back,” I say while gesturing to Nick.

“That’s some fucking messed up shit,” Aiden says looking at Nick. “Sophie is going to go nuts once she sees him.”

“We will keep it between us until we get back. We can’t leave the city yet. Not until the threats are dealt with,” I say with anger in my voice.

“They fucked with the wrong family,” Torch says with rage in his eyes.

“Nick,” I say softly.

He looks at me with sadness in his eyes. “Long time, no see,” he says with a dry chuckle that cuts off in a sob.

I pull him into my arms. “We can’t get those years back, but now you are with us; and we can make some new memories. You have a daughter to see and grandchildren to meet.”

Tears fall from my eyes when I think of everything he has gone through.

Trigger walks up and has a sad look on his face. “Nick, there is someone I want you to meet,” I say with a small smile.

He looks up at me and turns to look at Trigger.

“This is Trigger; he’s Sophie’s husband.”

“Are you a good man to my daughter?” Nick rasps. I don’t think I will ever get used to the sound of his voice now.

“She’s the best thing that has ever happened to me,” Trigger tells him. You can see in his eyes how much he loves Sophie.
