INICIAR SESIÓNI groaned as I sat up. My mouth was butter and my head throbbed so badly I could hear it pulsing in my skull. Right beside me was a passed out Wolf. Sleeping on my bed. In my room. Good thing we were both dressed. I could remember parts of last night. Wolf coming into the bar, looking sick, me almost smashing a bottle on Buggy’s head, Wolf dragging me back to the cabin. Me throwing up, him holding my hair back then him throwing up ache. We both brushed our teeth and fell in bed. I stink, I should shower. It took me minutes to get out of bed, shower and change into comfy clothes— Wolf’s, because they were larger and softer. And the moment I stepped out of my room, I ran into Decker. There were bandaids on his face and his lip. He looked bruised, and even his arm and hands were covered in bandages. Guilt ate at me as I stared at him but before I could say anything else, he walked away. Samantha walked into the hall almost instantly. “Oh, Remy. You’re awake.”Today wasn’t a good
The call ended. Before I was able to tell the little shit to tell Remy to pick her phone. “Fuck, fuck, fuck.” He hadn’t updated me after what happened last night. He didn’t fucking understand the importance of me knowing her whereabouts. “Margot.”“Yes, President?”“I need to fly back to Arizona. Right now.”“You have a meeting tomorrow morning that you can’t miss.”I let out a laugh I didn’t even know I could muster as I looked at her. Her face stayed impassive, her eyes on the tablet in her hand as she swiped at it. My breathing was already changing. Becoming harder. “I’m not in the mood.”“The launch event was a success even with the things that happened after.” She adjusted her glasses, her voice flat and professional. “The board is ecstatic. The investors are pleased to sign the contract for tomorrow. Even your Father is glad with the progress—”“My father can go fuck himself. Get me on a fucking plane—”She looked at me. “As your assistant, I won’t allow that.”“You’re disob
What have I done? What have I done?Decker stared at me, his eyes searching my face. I didn’t know what he was thinking. I never knew. He just stared at me, and for a moment, I was sure he was going to snap my neck. Then he raised his hand. I closed my eyes, waiting for the hit, but his hand was resting on top of my head. “I have been neglecting you for quite a bit, haven’t I? I’m sorry,”W-What?I opened my eyes, my chest pounding so loud I was sure I would pass out. “I don’t… I don’t understand. Aren’t you… aren’t you going to ask what I—”“What you’re doing hasn’t brought any harm to the club. Not yet. And you also shouldn’t repeat this with anyone else. For your safety.”“B-But we should talk about—”“I am very disappointed in you, but I am not sure if I should be. Besides, I don’t understand much of this… rat… thing.”“Being a mole is the greatest sin—”“And you weren’t trying to sin. You were… scared. Fuck.” He took his hand away and rubbed his temple. “I dont… want to drag th
Looked like everything is going to shit the second the President let me out of my fucking room. Not like I didn’t enjoy being away from all of the work but seeing the light was nice. Finding shit on the Bensons that we could exploit was turning out to be harder than finding gold on the club’s grounds. “You’re not gonna go talk to her?” I asked, angling my head at Buggy. He’s been quiet ever since I got out. Probably mad at me. He’d been the one to come tell me that Wolf wanted to jump at the Quarry. The one to keep me up to date about everything. But he was sad. And miserable. All of us were miserable when Remy was miserable. Sure the bar was the way it always was. There was the song that was actually just noise, and all the men with the club girls hanging over them. I heard Chrissy had died. They still had to work. It was almost sad. Nothing, of course, beat Remy sitting at the bar with her head down and three empty vodka bottles beside her. “Her drinking is still a force to be
Why are you staying far away from her? Go back. She isn’t safe with them!You’ve tasted it. Don’t you want more?!Have you learned nothing? Every second she is away from you, she is prone to harm!Find Remy Calloway!Devour. Love. Obey. Keep. Hide. “Joseph. You’re awake.” My eyes fluttered open. My head hammered as I sat up, the room spinning above me. Samantha was already helping me up but I slowly pushed her away. Her perfume was doing something to my brain that I didn’t like. Made me feel slightly ill. “Where is Remy?”“Don’t leave the bed. The doctor said you have broken ribs and suffered a concussion—”“Remy… did Cole touch her?”“I don’t know. I’ve been by your side all this—”My hand reached for her neck and pulled her close. It was instinct, like swatting a fly before I turned to look at her. “Then why are you here and not with her? Aren’t you the one always saying you wanted to keep her safe?”“Let go of her, brother.”Wolf's voice cut through the fog. I blinked, my han
The truck shook as he got into our street road. We weren’t speaking. We couldn’t. My head stared outside the window of the car and my legs were bunched up right on the seat. But his hand stayed on my thigh, squeezing it gently every five minutes. I didn’t tell him to pull away. Even if I should have. We were supposed to keep a distance. I wanted one last kiss. His hand on me. On my neck. On my skin. Inside me. Not… not holding me. But it was enough. I’d manage what I could get. The second we pulled into the compound, I saw everyone standing outside. Everyone. Including my Father. “Say nothing.” Decker said, turning off the engine. “Do you understand?”I sat upwards, looking at him. “What—?”He was already outside, slamming his door and walking towards them. He didn’t get far enough before my father walked up to him and punched him hard across the face. I hurried out of the car as he fell to the floor. “What are you doing?! Stop!”But Cole Calloway didn’t stop. He stomped over
My arms, legs, hips and neck hurt. I couldn’t recall the other positions the asshole put me in, acting like I was some flexible fucktoy that he had gotten for Christmas and planned on playing with for eternity. I loved it. I woke first, my eyes on his sleeping form. He slept like a log, his arm
I placed more food on top of his plate. “Is that enough?” Wolf stared at it, then back at me. “I don’t… I don’t think—”“Relax. I didn’t make it. No need to panic.” I pulled out a chair and sat beside him. My mind raced and my heart hurt but I was doing a really good job acting like I didn’t care.
“Yes, mama. I know. I—” I squeezed the washcloth on my thigh, pressing the phone closer to my face. “Yes. Of course. I understand.”The call ended immediately after, the sound of the kettle filling the empty cabin. I forced myself to spread a happy smile on my face and took it off the mantle. Then
I stood in front of the club house, my heart racing. I could already hear Decker’s voice in my head. He’d tell me that I shouldn’t be here. That I needed time and so did they, and I had to be respectful. But… but I couldn’t stop myself. I stepped in, my chest already caving in. The place was dim
