Hera POV Lily and I both can't look at Mason. He has a smug look on his face.“ You are?” I ask and he nods,his eyes not leaving Lily's own.“ I knew I was adopted from the start.” Lily declares with a pout then turns to look at me with a pleading look. “ He doesn't love me anymore.” She says and her eyes glisten with tears. I am about to scold Mason when he scoffs.“ Don't be so dramatic Lily. That trick won't work on me.” He states, “ but it seems you have your aunt Hera fooled.” He adds. I frown then turn to look at Lily who is grinning from ear to ear. I can't believe she almost got me fooled with her fake act of sadness.“ Well,I guess she is staying then?” Lily asks. I am about to reply when,“ Who is staying?” Jimena emerges from upstairs wearing a relatively short dress. I frown then turn to look at Mason. He isn't paying attention to her or is he just pretending?“ Aunt Hera is staying with us tonight.” Lily declares. I watch as Jimena's expression turns from happy to ugly i
Hera POV " Let's see," I said,a contemplating look on my face." My first date...well,as long as whatever we are doing is fun,I don't have a problem with that." I announce and Mason gives me a defeated smile." Are you being serious? I thought girls love to be pampered and given princess treatment on their first dates." He voices and I shrug." Well,I am not a girl. I am a mature woman. You don't expect a thirty year old virgin woman to have a list of things to do. That's something young ladies will be interested in." I reply." You make it sound like being a virgin at thirty is a big deal." Mason counters." That's because it is. Thirty years old grandmother who is fat and a virgin? What a sore combination." I say,and Mason's expression turns from playful to serious." That's not true, Hera. Don't put yourself down like that." He says and I give him a weak smile." I can't help it Mason. It's like a defense mechanism for me. Whenever people compliment me,I automatically think that t
Mason POV I have never been so embarrassed in my life like I just did. Of all people, why did Linda choose to show up tonight and cause a scene in front of Hera? She fucking embarrassed my woman. She accused her of trying to take her place in Lily's life. It's funny how after all these years of not caring about her daughter, she shows up with stupid accusations.She never cared about Lily, never bothered to call or visit for years. Practically left when Lily needed her the most. Yes we had our disagreement after she betrayed my crew, but leaving Lily while she was young was wrong. She chose to punish our daughter for her mistakes.For years, I never bothered looking for her; it didn't matter that she left her daughter. What I can't understand is why now? Just when I am trying to get my life in order and Lily doesn't ask about her mother anymore she chooses to come back, wreaking havoc in our lives."Don't worry about it, I am okay." Hera replies. However I can tell she's nothing but
Unknown POV “ Have you confirmed with our spy? Is everything ready?” I ask and my man nods in confirmation. “ Everything is ready. We can attack and take those bastards down." I smile at my man's words. I love the crazed look on his face. It's perfect for my plans. " I'll show them that no one messes with the Luca family and escapes scot-free. I will relish the look on their faces when they realise that they did a crappy job eliminating the Luca family." I sneer." And you, you get to have your woman back into your arms. I wonder what's special about her anyway. It's just a pussy,you can get thousands of cunts willing to stretch for you,why run after that one? " I ask him. The picture I saw about her showed nothing to call home. She is a fat mess,not in the least attractive yet this Man is willing to risk his life to get her back." You don't understand anything about love,do you? That girl was mine from the very beginning. I will not let someone else have her." His words make me s
Hera POV " You like what you see my lady?" Mason asks and my cheeks colour. He crawls towards me, setting himself above me, supporting his weight with his elbows." Don't be shy sweetheart. After today,you and I will be one. You're free to look,touch,kiss and taste me as much as you please." He says and I smile at his words.He takes hold of my left leg and rests it against his chest,his mouth kisses my ankle, slowly and softly and he moves upwards. My toes curl in delight. His mouth kisses and nibbles along my calf and I feel his tongue glide up and down the back of my knee. My breath quickens. My heart pounds and my mind blanks out. I'm a slave to my senses,lost to the pleasures that only a woman can experience. His mouth kisses,licks and nibbles along my inner thigh. My eyes roll back in my head." Mason." I sigh in pleasure and contentment.I feel him move up between my legs,my legs part of their own accord and he positions himself between them,his hands come to rest at either si
Hera POV Mason and I stay in bed,cuddled against each other. No one says a word and a minute passes. It feels comforting laying in his arms after riding the aftershocks of our mind shattering orgasm. Our bodies joined as one and our souls intertwined. I feel like my entire life has changed, as if this is the first day of the rest of my life.A few more minutes pass. We continue to lay there together, still and silent, until the quiet is broken by Mason's low rumbling voice. "We belong together now. By flesh and blood. No escaping this Hera,no escaping us." Mason mumbles,his face buried in my neck.I don't say anything, but instead I take a deep breath and pull him tighter to me."I have waited my entire life for you Hera." He murmurs,his voice low and sexy. He runs his fingers through my hair, massaging my scalp and trailing kisses down my neck. His cock, still buried deep inside me, stirs and grows hard once again. "You're mine,Hera. All mine. Do you understand?"I moan and move my
Mason POV" We are leaving. " Hera declares and grabs my motorcycle keys. She tosses them to me and I catch them precisely, still frowning. In a blink of an eye, she already has my jacket and my duvel bag. " Hera, what's happening?" I repeat and this time she halts to look at me. " The clubhouse... It's under attack!" She reveals and for a moment, my vision blurs and my consciousness darkens.Hera doesn't wait for me to recover and rushes to the door." Come on!" She snaps. " We have to hurry!" She yells and that's all it takes to pull me out of my dazed state. My crew is in danger! That realization has my mind going mad. I rush behind her and make my way to where my bike is parked. We move in harmony and when Hera jumps at the back of my bike, I kick the motor and speed up, heading to the clubhouse.I don't know who dares attack us but deep down I have an idea. I can't believe they dared to attack the clubhouse today of all days. As the leader of my crew, I am not there to help an
Hera POV Every single one of them turns to look at me. Anger. Hatred. But in his eyes,I see something different as he regards me.Doubt. Confusion." I knew this woman was a Snake." A lady referred to as Helena from earlier sneers. I keep my face unreadable and my posture straight. I don't cower from their animosity. That's not whom I am." That's such a heavy accusation, don't you think?" Raven intercedes but they all turn to glare at her. She shrugs, unbothered."She was seen with him." Helena points a bony finger towards me,her expressions ugly." She planned everything with that bastard Carlos Tevez. She seduces Viper and takes him away then her accomplice storms in here and attacks." Someone from the team accuses then turns to look at Mason. " You conveniently brought the enemy among us and opened the doors for them." The accusations keep on coming, but my eyes are fixed on one man who seems lost in thought and confusion." What do you have to say for yourself? Are you not goin
Hera POV Justin and I manage to escape in time. As the engine roars in life leaving behind a trail of smoke,I can't help but smile to myself how I managed to fool Hector's security. Those damn fools." I assume you guys had a serious talk?" Justin asks,staring at me via the rearview mirror. I can feel the sarcasm in his words. After the commotion that happened at the club,I don't expect him to assume Hector and I just...talked."The job had to be done somehow, Justin. It's the best way to protect those girls." I reply with a sigh. I look outside the window. As much as Justin believes that violence can't solve everything,he also knows that only violence can solve some things. He doesn't say anything else and neither do I. We drive in silence. Justin drives me at the club entrance." Is there anything you need from me?" He asks and I nod. " I need all data about our presence at that club erased."Justin grins at me, " already did."" Thanks,justin. You are the best." I say as I get
Hera You paid thousands for your life to be taken,fool. That's what I want to scream at him and mock his stupidity, but this isn't the time. I keep my gaze glued to the floor and say nothing." Leave from here and get me my regular type of toy." Hector screams at me. I turn around to leave and draft a different way to get to him. But before I can make my exit,his voice booms through the room." On second thought,stay and entertain me tonight. I want to find out why that bastard is stupidly chasing after a fat bitch." Hector spats. By bastard,he must mean Carlos since the two of them have been in cahoots.I smile to myself,happy that his curiosity just gave me the opportunity to strike him. I walk back to the center of the room and grip the pole." Hera,you can do this. It's just dancing after all." I try to convince myself as I start swaying my body to the beat. Hector is perched on the sofa with a glass of scotch in hand,sipping leisurely.Stupid assed mafias, thinking that drinking
Hera pov" You are quite inquisitive huh?" Shadow comments. " It's okay. He is going to tell no one after all." I reply, all smiles. "My man is indeed ruthless but you don't expect any less from the leader of killer Angels, do you?" The horrified expression on Carlos' face gives me undiluted pleasure. " You are... the infamous MG? " Carlos stutters. " Surprised right? We had the same expression when we discovered her identity. She doesn't look the part, right? " Raven jabs him. Carlos is too shocked to say shit, not like I expect him to say anything. " A life for a life you bastard. I'll let your blood appease our lost comrade. " Shadow whispers into his ears. The fear in his eyes is so delicious, it's giving me a high." Don't worry, Hector will soon follow you to hell. You two can reunite there and continue scheming." I taunt him and prepare to leave." You bitch! You won't get away with this." He curses at me."Watch me do exactly that." I spat and turn around to walk away.
Hera POV I call sick at the clinic. With all the danger following behind me,I can't expose myself. I really don't know if my identity has been discovered but just as Nyx told me,it's better to be careful than sorry.I am listening to Nyx report everything they uncovered with sulphur. The attack at my house was intentional. It was a warning or something but for what exactly? I can't put my finger on the reason why my car was bombed alongside mason's own bike. I have considered Mason being the one they were after but from the footage the girls retrieved,I was the target." We were able to locate Hector's hideout." Nyx declares and that revelation captures my undivided attention." Where?" I ask and Nyx offers me a printed map. I scan my eyes through the map and I can't help but muse at his well thought hiding spot." Not too far from the club odyssey. It's no wonder he hit them so hard." I comment. Nyx knows about the club odyssey being part of shadow riders since I asked her to inves
HeraAfter Mason falls asleep, I quietly leave the room and make my way to what used to be the living room. Hector and his gang of thugs managed to do some damage to the clubhouse. Although it's not fully torched, the damaged area will need massive renovation. The crew is busy cleaning the mess. I don't bother to acknowledge them as I make my way to where Nyx is waiting for me. My work here is done. Mason is home safe and his wounds tended toWe are about to leave when someone calls from behind me. I turn around to see Raven approaching us. My expressions remain neutral as she makes her way to us and stands a metre away from me. " Are you leaving? " She asks and I nod. " Look Hera, about what happened... " She starts but I dismiss her with a wave of my hand. " It's nothing. I don't want to talk about it. "" I know you don't want to talk about it but I insist. I want you to know that I am sorry for not standing up for you before the others. You are... "" A stranger? I know that.
Carlos POV “ You messed up the damn operation you fool! You had one simple task,shoot to kill but look what happened! We lost all our men” Hector snarls at me, his eyes red with anger.“ Don't you dare accuse me of messing things up. It was your idea to make a grand entrance. I insisted on sneaking an attack and you said it was not satisfying.” I snarl back at him. The nerve of this mother-fucker to accuse me of screwing an operation we planned for so many days.“ Oh really? Then why did you eliminate all the men we took when we retreated?” He asks and I fight the urge to throw a snide remark at him. I mean,how is he a member of the Luca family if he doesn't know even the most basic rules of a failed assassination mission.“ Don't give me that look.” He glares at me.“The men had to die. Leaving them alive in the hands of the enemy is like offering free information about us. It had to be done.” I answer and he nods.“ That makes sense.” Of course it does.“ I don't care how you do i
Mason POV " I can take care of myself," That's all I hear before the sound of gunshots fill the air .I duck below the window and turn to look at Hera who was already taking cover by the side of the bed.We wait,listening for any movement but get none. Then the sound of a loud explosion follows before an engine roars and tires screech on the gravel driveway.I stand up and look out the window and notice a van speeding away. I turn around to see Hera walking to the door,a Beretta in her hand." Stay here, I'll go check downstairs." I informed her but she just glared at me and proceeded to leave the room.I follow behind her closely, not sure what to expect. Outside,I stand rooted in place,my fists clenched. Hera turns to look at me,her face unreadable." Someone seemed to have taken a liking to your machine." She comments" It's such a waste to destroy it. I really loved it." She adds casually." I told you it's not safe here." I say through gritted teeth.She looks at me then walks ov
Mason POV Earlier "What just happened?" Raven inquires after we watch Hera walk out of the clubhouse three armed ladies following behind. The rest of the crew turns to look at me seeking answers. Answers that I fucking don't have. I am just as confused as they are, shocked even. I still can't erase or relate to the scene of Hera firing shots and tentatively missing Helena's head with inches. The look on her face,that badass posture she adopted. All that seemed too unbelievable considering the person in question."MG? That's what the lady called her?" Jepoy asks with an unbelievable look on his face."That's what I heard,Zero." Shadow replies to him."She is the legendary MG who has been terrorizing the dark world for five years? The one with the biggest bounty on her head?" Zero exclaims and I purse my lips at his declaration."It's crazy to think that she's a woman, everyone thought it's a man. No one knows the identity of the leader of the killer angels." Raven chims in, looking
Hera POV “MG, I'm sorry about acting without your permission.” Nyx apologizes, her head bowed. She might be apologizing but I know she's not remorseful deep down.“It's good that you acknowledge your mistake.” I reply. “I won't punish you this time but don't let that happen again I had and she lifts her face to look my way. “Those ungrateful bastards dared to accuse you after you saved their asses. I couldn't just sit down and let them do that to you.”she protests that the typical Nyx I know.“I could have handled it myself. Do you think I would let somebody wrong me?” I bite back and she lowers her head again.“Forget it, I don't want to talk about that now. I need to hear why and how Carlos and that bastard Hector Luca manage to escape alive?”I can't believe even with my team helping shadow riders they could not take down those two motherfuckers.And Hector, how come that bastard is still alive? I thought he died alongside the other members of Luca.I can see why Hector is tryin
