All Chapters of Guarded by the outlaw : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ghost's POVSmoke rolled through the compound like a bad dream as I ran around, searching frantically for the traitor. How could I have been so careless? Everything had calmed down now but the air reeked of burnt gun powder and hot steel. My ears rang as I moved through it, instincts taking over where thought used to live.I barked orders over the chaos, pushing more brothers into search while shouting at the others to gather together the ruins.They had known where to strike, which walls to breach and where our weakest spots were.This attack was cartel standard. No doubt.I caught sight of one of my brothers bleeding out by the bikes. Another brother dragged him backward, hands slick with blood. The smell of oil mixed with the metallic tang of it until it was too hard to breathe in that space. “Get the wounded inside!” I shouted, voice raw, emptying the last of my clip into the dark. “Go after them, find the bastard!”Fucking Luca, wasn't he sleek? How did he get them to come and sa

Ghost's POVI woke up feeling like I was in a cave. The smoke from all the burnings still hung in the air and the compound was as quiet as a grave yard. Luca laid in my bed, his skin pale and chest wrapped in blood stained bandages. I had patched him up myself and not until now, I hadn't realised how bad it was. He looked like an eyesore. I stood up to arrange the stray bandage when the door suddenly slammed open.“What the hell is wrong with you?” Viper’s voice sliced through the silence.I turned slowly, completely shocked at his outburst. “He was dying and I did the right thing.”“You call keeping a traitor alive in your own room the right thing?” Viper stepped closer, fists clenched. “Brother, have you lost your mind?”The sound of boots filled the hallway and I realised the brothers had crowded my doorway whispering about the atrocity I had committed.“He shouldn’t be here.” One said.“He’s the reason we’re where we are right now. He deserves to die.” Said another. “Finish it,

Ghost POVBy the time I made it back, the world smelled of rain and gasoline.The sky bled into the horizon, bruised purple and rust like the end of a long fight. My engine was the only thing that still sounded alive, thundering through the yard with a low growl that echoed off the empty steel walls.A Friday night should’ve been louder than this. Usually, you could hear the laughter before you even saw the lights and music spilling from the bar, brothers trading stories over beer, bikes lined up like wolves waiting for their next hunt. But tonight there was nothing. Just silence. Heavy, waiting silence.I cut the engine. Gravel cracked under my boots as I swung off the bike, the cold air hitting me full in the face. I’d been riding since dawn, crossing state lines twice for a shipment that didn’t want to move, and now that I was home, I couldn’t shake the strange feeling that the world had changed a little while I was gone.The door to the clubhouse creaked open before I reached it.

Ghost's POV I was taken by surprise when Luca showed up in the garage just when I had started the engine of the bike, Viper seated behind me. “What's the matter?” I asked the brothers who had rushed out behind him. “The moment the door to your room was unlocked, he asked for you” Rufus paused. “I told him where you were but didn't expect him to act like a fucking madman who'd rush here” he explained. My gaze snapped to Luca. He was still panting, restless from running down to the lot. Yesterday night, he angered me. He talked shits about my seconds, the one who stood with me when he betrayed us. Then he was nowhere to be found, he ran after causing chaos, but Viper stood and helped the Serpents back up. “What's the matter, Luca?” I asked. “I'll come along” the way he said the words didn't look like he was asking or pleading. He sounded like he was already determined and would take no for an answer. “You aren't coming” My tone was also final, and he should know I won't be givi

Ghost's POV It had been two days after Viper's accident. Troy visits him and gives him treatments, and he has been walking on crutches. Luca had been silent after what he had done. He stopped causing chaos, but the brothers and I didn't stop watching him so closely. He isn't one of us, I'm just letting him stay among us because he knows the routes and danger spots that lay ahead for us. Just because he could be useful. I knew Luca sneaked into Viper's room yesterday, but I didn't say anything about it. The brotherhood wants him gone, and maybe that would have been the best option. I should let him leave if I wasn't going to kill him, but the past haunts me. My heart hurts whenever I flashback to that moment.Everywhere was filled with smoke, everyone desperately in need of help. Luca was nowhere. He was long gone after destroying everything. I want him to stay to see how we've rebuilt ourselves, to see what he had burned to ashes rise and fly so high. Since the time he's gon
