turned into the
lot, there were a handful of bikers standing around. Two guys quickly ran
forward, both of them focusing on Duke. They were obviously surprised Duke was
back in one piece and alive. That made me grab onto Trent ’ s leather cut tighter. It
was mostly dark out by then, the only light coming from a few floodlights
attached to the buildings in the lot. This was the time when these guys all
seemed to really come to life and want to cause trouble.
    What was going to happen now?
    Trent parked his motorcycle and
shut it off. He turned his head and said, “ Don ’ t fucking move until I
tell you to. ”
    He climbed off the motorcycle and
walked toward Duke. To my surprise he grabbed Duke and then grabbed Duke ’ s shirt. He walked Duke
back a few steps before someone grabbed Trent.
    “ Easy,
brother. At least he ’ s
alive. ”
    “ You
don ’ t know what the
fuck he did, ” Trent
said. “ Let me go,
Jasper. Right now. ”
    “ We ’ ll talk about this later, ” someone else said. “ Right now, all that
matters is that Duke is here, alive. ”
    “ Prez, ” Trent said. “ There ’ s more. ”
    That ’ s
when Trent nodded to me.
    Prez?
    He and Jasper were then staring at
me. Then Duke looked at me. He raised an eyebrow.
    “ Wait
a second, ” Duke said. “ She … she took my drink order
but never brought me a drink. ”
    There were a few seconds of
silence. I saw everyone looking at each other, processing. Trent stood with his
face like stone. His eyes were so intense as he stared at me. Like he wanted me
to trust him, no matter what happened.
    “ She
was serving drinks? ” Jasper asked.
    “ Yeah, ” Trent said. “ Then things went to hell … because of Duke …”
    There were a few seconds of silence
again and then Trent took out his gun. “ Before
anything happens …”
    That ’ s
all I heard.
    Because someone was then behind
me … a
hand around my body and a hand around my mouth.
     

nine.

    Kye grabbed Harlee and I seriously
considered shooting Kye. I pictured a bullet blasting through his fucking head
for touching her. She tried to scream and kick, her eyes wide as she stared at
me, wanting me to help her.
    But that ’ s not how it was going to work.
    “ You
said you were going to kill her, ” Trev said to me. “ Now
she ’ s here. ”
    “ Wait
a fucking minute, ” Duke said. “ Tell me
she was the one …”
    “ Duke,
go get a beer, ” Trev
said. “ You, Max, and
Hudson. Right now. ”
    Duke said something under his
breath but Max and Hudson grabbed him to get him away. I knew me and Duke weren ’ t done yet.
    “ Kye,
take her inside, ” Trev said. “ Put her
in Trent ’ s room. This
is going to be his problem and he will fix it. ”
    My heart sank a little as Kye
carried Harlee away. She continued to kick and tried to scream. I wanted to
tell her to just calm the fuck down. It was up to me to kill her and I wasn ’ t going to do it. I had my
reasons, right or wrong.
    “ Tell
me she ’ s the one, ” Trev said.
    I slowly put my gun away. “ Yeah. She ’ s the one. I watched her
pour the poison into Duke ’ s
glass. Then she dropped the little bottle down a drain. ”
    “ And
she ’ s still alive? ” Jasper asked.
    “ Do
you want to know what happened? ” I asked. “ Or are you
two going to fucking assume and accuse me of something? ”
    I was livid. The monster inside me
was stirring. It was pissed that it only got a little bit of fun fighting all
those rich businessmen. The monster wanted more. Not to mention another side of
the monster wanted Harlee.
    “ We ’ re listening, ” Trev said. “ I ’ ll shut my mouth for a few minutes to hear
this. Because it has to be good, Trent. That woman was going to kill a table
member of this MC. And you ’ re
supposed to be a monster. A ruthless fucking outlaw who would kill anyone at
anytime for any reason. ”
    I turned and face the President of
the club. My eyes were wide. He was fucking with
