Pearl

Zander came home late. I told myself that was a good thing, because it was about to make my job ten times better and easier, but no matter how hard, I just couldn't shake off the unease that gnawed deep in my lower belly. It felt too much like my body was telling me how all of this was going to end and the chances of me liking the results were close to zero. While all of that and more crossed my mind, I still forced myself to be positive.

“Don't think too much about it” I muttered underneath my breath. “Don't think about it at all.”

I heard the door before I saw him. I heard it in the low click of the lock, and in the careful way he moved like he didn’t want to wake the house. You would think he cared about us too much to not want to interrupt our sleep, but I knew better. He wa probably, or definitely trying to avoid speaking to me or Vienna, because we were bound to challenged him on the rules he'd set that that morning.

In a nutshell, he didn't want to be confronted.

  • Claimed by my Biker Stepbrother   Chapter 21

    Zander The house was still empty when the door shut behind me. No, scratch that, it wasn't just quiet, it felt empty. One would think they were the same thing, but there was no way you would be able to differentiate between the both of them until you had felt or experienced it. There was a difference, and my body knew it before my mind caught up. Quiet meant rest, meant breath held in anticipation of sound, while empty meant absence, and a wrongness that pressed against the inside of my skull.“You painted a target.” Bear’s voice hadn’t left me. “You showed them where to press.”I didn't want to agree with the man, but I hated that I found myself unconsciously doing that because he was right. My head throbbed in time with my pulse, a dull ache that spread behind my eyes and down my neck. The adrenaline that had carried me home was burning off now, leaving exhaustion and a sharp, bitter edge of nausea behind. That, and a dull throbbing pain that threatened to send me to the after

    Pearl The first message came while I was folding laundry that wasn’t mine. .I remember that detail because it annoyed me, because it felt unfair that I was doing something so small and domestic while my chest had been tight all day for reasons I couldn’t explain. My phone buzzed against the counter, and I almost ignored it.Almost.After that stunt with my phone, I told myself that I needed a break. If I wasn't so obsessed with the damn gadget I probably wouldn't have even noticed it in the first place. I was this close to ignoring it, when I read the text. Unknown Number:If you want the truth, meet me.I stared at the screen, my fingers going cold.That was it. No name, no explanation, but just those five words, sitting there like they knew something about me I hadn’t said out loud yet.I locked my phone and went back to folding. I folded a shirt next, then a pair of jeans. I made sure the movements were slow and controlled. I told myself not to be dramatic, but then the phone

    Zander I came back to myself in fragments. I wasn't one to be ungrateful, or maybe I was, but a tiny part of me couldn't help but feel like not waking up at all. I was yet to recall what had happened, but I doubted it warranted being woken up in the worst possible ways known to man. The first thing I recognized was the cold metal dug into my spine. It sent shivers, unwelcome ones shuddering down my back, and in an attempt to get away from it, I realized I couldn't. My wrists burned next and I quickly felt the rope, tight and biting into skin every time I shifted. My head throbbed like someone had split it open and forgotten to close it again. There was a single bulb hanging overhead, swaying slightly, its light harsh and unforgiving.For a moment, I didn’t remember where I was. Then I did.I jerked forward instinctively, and the chair scraped violently across the concrete. Pain flared down my arms as the restraints held fast. I sucked in a sharp breath and pulled harder, muscles sc

    Zander I hated that I had to go back there again, but nothing could compare to the hatred and nagging feeling that would linger if I didn't, and that made it all the more worse. It gave me a choice I had no idea but it accept. Not going there was only going to bring more problems than I imagined, and I could already feel myself getting mad just by thinking about it. Fuck. Tlast time I walked into that place, Hawk had broken my nose and Bear had dragged him back before I could return the favor.It hadn’t been chaos, and that was the part that stayed with me. It had been measured, almost calculated, like a message delivered with bone instead of words.I pushed the image out of my mind as I slowly eased the bike into the compound. Nothing had changed since the last time I'd been here, especially the fact that some of the bikers still stared at me with fear and reverence in their eyes. Good. I made sure my bike was parked carefully, while doing a little reflecting at the fact that

    Pearl I found Zander in the kitchen, busy with whatever the fuck he was doing. Usually, I would ask him what he was making for dinner and taunt him to not burn the kitchen down, but right now, I wasn't in the mood. Hell, I couldn't even feel my own body right now. It was a miracle how I'd been able to even walk here without passing out, or at least running into the nearest wall. The message was still open on my phone, the screen dimming and brightening with my pulse. As I pushed the phone towards him, I realized my hands didn’t shake. It surprised me, and when my voice shook, I almost lost it. “I got this,” I said. I didn’t explain, I didn’t preface or try to sugarcoat it. I just walked up to him and held the phone out between us like evidence.Zander dried his hands on a towel before taking it, and that pause, small, and deliberate, made my stomach tighten. He read the message once, then again, and again, but his face didn’t change.He didn’t react the way people did when they

    Pearl The bathroom light was too bright, and I hated it. In fact, hate had to be the biggest understatement here. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't mad that there was adequate lighting in here, I was furious because the said lights were only going to make sure that nothing, absolutely nothing could escape Zander's piercing gaze. I was already going through it all as it was, the last thing I needed was the lights adding to my problems. It made everything feel clinical, like I was about to be examined instead of cleaned. Zander flicked it on without asking and reached for the cabinet under the sink like he’d done this before. I watched him grab towels, gloves, and even a bottle of clarifying solution I didn’t remember buying.“Tell me you know what you're doing.” The words tumbled out before I could catch them. For some reason, I already knew the answer to my question, but I couldn't help but ask. “This isn't your first time, right?” “What?” If Zander was annoyed by my question, he did
