Novelas de K.J. Dahlen

Breed stomped into the main room and went straight over to the bar. He grabbed the Black Velvet bottle and tipped it up with pouring it into a shot glass first. The whiskey burned his throat and warmed his belly. Maybe it would clam his rage. That poor girl had shit for a family and had been treated like she was less than human. It pissed him off beyond what he had beleived he would feel about her story when he first found her.His MC brothers, Greer and Monster joined him but not too close. Breed did have a temper when he was pissed and right now, the man was looked beyond pissed.“So boss, what’s going on?” Greer asked, as he alone was brave enough to do so.“She thinks her own cousin set her up to be killed by Hade’s crew. He owed Blade money and told him he could get his grandfather to pay a ransom if he took the girl.”“Is her cousin stupid or just a moron?” Monster growled. “Doesn’t he know what kind of man Blade is?”Breed snapped his head over at Monster and growled. “That fuc

“And who’s this idiot Joey?” Breed wanted to know.Kizzy sighed hard. “My grandfather had two children of his own. His son David was my father and his daughter Joy was Joey’s mom. Joey’s last name is Bassette. My parents were killed when I was fourteen in a car accident. Joy wouldn’t take me in as she could barely be a mother to Joey and Grandfather took me into his home but it wasn’t by choice. The state told him he could afford to pay for my care and it didn’t matter if he did not want me. He didn’t want to be bothered or pay for my way. His colleagues also told him it would show the world what a good guy he was if he did it. My grandfather was all for looking good but no one knows what went on behind closed doors.” She shivered.“What happened?” Breed was interested now.“I would rather not say and leave it at that.” She glared at him. “One thing I will say is Joey didn’t like the fact I was closer to grandfather than he ever got. Only problem with that is I never wanted to be clos

An hour later, she began to come around.At first, when she began moving, Breed got to his feet and sat down beside the bed. He waited patiently for her eyes to open.She turned from one side to the other and groaned as pain made her wince. Then her hand brushed against her cheek and she groaned again. Then she lay very still and her eyes slowly opened.Breed could see the warm brilliant blue of her orbs when she slowly turned her head to his.To see him sitting there so close to her she startled back a bit and had to groan in pain and her hand went to her belly. Pressing gently, she looked at him again. She opened her mouth to speak but her mouth was so dry, no sound came out.Breed grabbed a bottle of water from the table next to the bed and opened it. “Just sip this or you’ll get sick and that won’t help your belly.”She nodded and took a few sips at first, just enough to wet her mouth. When that stayed down, she took a longer drink to satisfy her thirst. Then she handed the bottle

Several of the brothers were sitting there playing cards and they jumped when he barged in.Breed spotted Cowboy sitting alone, drinking coffee and he bellowed at him, “Cowboy, I need you in your office, like now.”Cowboy got up and followed him down the hall.When Breed pushed the door open and went over to the bed with the woman still in his arms, he laid her carefully one the bed.Cowboy nudged him out of the way and assessed the damage. “Hell Breed, what happened to her?”“I think she escaped something bad and been on the fucking river for days without food or drinking water. I found her in the underbrush in a small dingy.” Shaking his head he said, “I don’t know if it was her idea or if someone else just pushed her out there, hoping to kill her. Either way, it wasn’t a good decision for her.”“Ok, let me see what we got here then,” Cowboy mumbled as he grabbed his scissors to cut her clothing away.“Can’t you just undress her?” Breed asked. “She might want her own clothes to wear

Someone had carved a symbol into her skin that he knew all too well. The blood around where the blade had sliced her alabaster skin was congealed and dried so he knew the brand had been put at least three days ago.Now he felt even more curious about her. How did she know the President of the Hade’s Messengers MC? They were over two hours away by land but from the amount of sunburn on her face and body, she’d been in that dingy for days.While it was true the river came from Decatur all the way to Tarron’s Ridge, it must have taken her days to get this far by water. Especially, if she had to depend on the water flow of the river rather than a motor or a sail. By vehicle, it was well over a two hour trip between their compounds. Breed couldn’t imagine Blade, the President of the Hade’s Messengers coming here. Breed, himself would never step foot in Alabama again. He had nothing there, he never had. He took one trip there years ago and would never go back for any reason.Breed was thirt

They called him Breed but it was a sign of respect, not disrespect. The name his mama gave him when he was born was Jericho Moon and he was the leader of The Tennessee Breeds MC. They were a group of misfits who had come together to form a family of sorts. They lived on the top of Tarron’s Ridge for a reason.Tarron’s Ridge was in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, somewhat near the town of Chattooga, Tennessee. Tarron’s Ridge also overlooked the Tennessee River and the place where Jericho grew up. He’d grown up as part of a small tribe of Cherokee living in the mountains and while his mother was a full blooded Cherokee, Jericho wasn’t. But he was so much more than just his father’s bastard son. People looked up to him as the President of the MC, not out of fear but out of respect. He protected his people and everyone else that lived on Tarron’s Ridge.Breed was a big man, he stood six foot four in his stocking feet. His boots gave him another inch or so and he was close to

“How did a woman like that even get close enough to get Nikoli’s attention?” Kosta asked Yuri.“She brought herself to his attention three months before when she introduced herself to him at a nightclub," Yuri explained. "She told him almost right away that she wanted to be his mistress but Nikoli refused her advances. By then his wife was around five months pregnant and he was not looking for someone to fill his bed. When he told Andria that he loved his wife and wouldn’t seek another woman’s bed, she didn’t care. She figured if she wanted it bad enough, he would just sleep with her and she would become all important to his future. It got so bad that Nikoli banned her from his places of business and had her arrested on several occasions. Then she got it into her head that Nikoli wasn’t paying attention to her because of his wife. Andria attacked Bethany the night she was killed. She stabbed Bethany causing her to go into premature labor. Just after she delivered her son, Bethany died

Raven nodded at him. “We can’t afford any mistakes and lifting Yuri’s wallet was a mistake. We both need to stay under the radar. If we watch ourselves, we can make it. We changed our last name, now we just have to fit in.” She gripped his hands tighter. “Nicky, we can make it together if we can just stay out of trouble.”He flopped back in the chair. “I get it, I get it. No more stealing,” he grumbled.“I didn’t mean to come across like that.” Raven closed her eyes. “I just don’t want anything to happen to you. I don’t know if I would survive without you.”“It’s been you and me against the world since we were kids,” Nicky noted the obvious. “I don’t know what I would do without you either. I guess you’ve been watching out for me since I was born.”Raven grinned. “Yeah, that’s true, but I’d do it all again, if I had to.”Nicky glanced at the clock. “You’d better get some rest. It’s late and you have to get up for work soon.”“Yeah…” She yawned. “I have the early shift at the restauran

When she had first heard the ping of the elevator, Raven had quickly moved into her hiding place. The air shaft vent was located low on the wall inside the bedroom. The cover held in place by four small screws were easily removed by the small screwdriver she carried in her backpack. She barely had time to get inside before Yuri and Kosta were inside the room. She’d hardly dared to breathe when the two men were inside searching the room. Her fingers locked in place as she’d held the cover to the shaft in place.Raven had then waited another fifteen minutes before she unfolded her small body and came out of hiding. Carefully leaning the cover against the wall, she now crawled out of the vent and slowly stood. Lucky for her she was flexible enough to still get into small places. At only five feet tall, she was small enough to go unnoticed by most. Replacing the screws, she moved to the kitchen area.She didn’t go to the front door. Instead, she moved to the service elevator or the dumbw

The alarm went from solid red to a blinking red. On the third blink, a special alarm went off in the security room and the door locked behind the interloper.Down in the hotel’s security room everyone saw this and three men scrambled. One got on the phone while the other two sat at monitors searching for the breach. One of the men located the blinking red light and when he announced where it was located, all three men gasped. A moment later, Yuri walked through the door, followed closely by yet another man.Yuri bent over the back of Dimitri’s chair and closely scanned his monitor. “What have you discovered?” he asked them.Dimitri swallowed hard. He knew Yuri wasn’t going to be pleased. “It’s a new monitor we installed just last week.”Yuri’s hand tightened as he gripped the back of the chair. “The one above my door?” he asked softly.“Yes, sir.”“Activate the monitors inside the penthouse,” Yuri ordered. When the system came up and asked for a password, Yuri leaned forward and type

When she and Nicky had come to New Orleans three years ago, Raven had learned everything she could about the city and who actually ran it. After what happened with Carlos, trapping her into a life of thievery, she had learned to be very careful. She’d gotten a job at the hotel/restaurant in housekeeping and worked her way up to being a hostess in the restaurant.To most women, it would have seemed like an ordinary job with little advantage but to Raven it was a top notch job, a place of responsible position. After what she’d done in the past, she felt good for the first time in a long time. Her and Nicky had been trapped into that existence. They had been forced to steal. So Nicky hadn’t known any other kind of living really. She had been so glad to escape that world and now she could feel some pride when she got paid for a legitimate job. She also hoped that Nicky would see that this was the best way to live. To have some honor and live honestly.After taking her tenspeed across town

“Do you know who Yuri Anatoly is?” Nicky asked Raven as she walked through the front door of their apartment.The apartment wasn’t much and not in a good neighborhood but it was the best place they had lived in yet. It was small but then they didn’t need much.Raven groaned as she leaned wearily against the door. “Yeah, I know who he is, why?”Nicky grinned at her. “Cuz he carries a lot of money around with him.”Raven slowly shook her head as she glared at him. “You didn’t?” she snapped. “Tell me you didn’t lift his wallet?” Her brother had a bad habit of lifting people’s wallets when he got bored. A pattern left over from their rotten childhood where stealing was the only way they survived.Nicky had the grace to look away for a few seconds, then he turned toward her and admitted, “Yeah, I did. What’s the big deal?”Raven pushed away from the door and closed it. Coming over to where Nicky sat at the counter in the small kitchen, she grabbed the wallet and exclaimed, “Because you idi
