I didn’t hesitate as I walked to the piece of shit who had the balls to throw his hands up and say, “I just came to collect Lena. I’m taking her home, as is my right.”

“You don’t have any goddamned rights to that girl,” I growled when I got in his face. Right in his face.

He didn’t say a word but moved his head to look around me.

I growled, “Eyes back to me, motherfucker.”

He didn’t do that.

Fuck. This.

I grabbed his jaw so hard I heard a bone pop, he winced, but I got his eyes off Lena and back on me.

“You have two choices. One, you turn around and walk the fuck out of here and never come back. You forget all about Lena. Or two, you won’t be walking out here still breathing.”

He didn’t speak, he narrowed his eyes at me and said, “She was mine first.”

This motherfucker.

But I still knew something, because one night, the girls were in the movie room watching a movie and Lena let it slip that she was still a virgin. That she was waiting for the right one, just like Raine had done.

Therefore, I lowered my tone, not wanting anyone else to hear what I had to say, “Guess what? She was never your first. But I’m going to be hers. And I’m going to be her last.”

He narrowed his eyes at me, “No. She’s mine.”

I nodded, “Well, looks like you made your choice.”

Then without hesitation, I threw a punch just right. My fist slammed into his temple, and I watched as his eyes rolled back in his head and he dropped like a sack of potatoes.

I bent down, picked him up and tossed him over my shoulder, Cason, Gravel, Tank, and Ripper followed me.

I tossed him on the dirt in front of the shed and left him there with my brothers making sure he didn’t go anywhere.

Once I pulled on a pair of black gloves, I unlocked a box, moved shit around until I opened the false bottom.

From there I tagged the untraceable gun we had, the one that was cleaned before and after every use with absolute care. Then I twisted the silencer on it.

I exited the shed to see the piece of shit still lying there where I dropped him and Red standing there, glaring at him.

He looked at me, saw what I held, then nodded and crossed his arms over his chest.

I wanted him to know what was about to happen to him.

Therefore, I pulled my leg back and then kicked him in his stomach.

He woke up with a grunt of pain.

Before he could move, I was down in the dirt, my knee planted on his chest, and one of my gloved hands was opening his jaw.

I pressed the gun with the silencer in his open mouth and said, “This is for Lena.”

His eyes flashed and his body jerked, but that was all he managed to do before I squeezed the trigger.

His body was hauled to no man’s land.

With my brothers at my back, we walked back into the clubhouse, the moment I entered, my eyes swept the main room, searching for her.

She was standing at the bar with my daughter.
