Maddy’s POV I never thought it was possible to feel one’s heart crack into two but as I stood there watching the happy couple go at it, I heard my heart shattering. A sharp sense of pain shot through my heart. I shouldn’t feel this jealous, this pissed off, after all I’m dating Max now, but there was something about the whole scene that made me feel unimaginably pissed. It cut my soul watching him handle her the way he had never handled me before. It was like watching a different being surface inside him. He was rougher, harder. It made me wonder…did he think I couldn’t take it the way Lala was? It was so stupid, I knew that, but my jealousy was dragging me into strange depths. I should’ve stopped watching them, but I didn’t peel my eyes away. I just stood there observing as he pounded into her. This was different with her. I saw how comfortable he was with her. How eager he was. He was hungry for her. There was no hesitation, no doubt, no second-guesses. He wanted her. He wante

~Max's POV~ "Competition? From where I'm standing, I don't see any competition," I retorted sharply. She was psyching me out. She had never forgiven me for Bones' death. I could feel that hate and need for revenge burning inside her. That was the only reason she formed Slashers with Drew. Some of my old crew loyal to her were standing around her now. "Underestimating your competition? Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's a bad mistake Max," she said now. Her crew chuckled. Drew stared at her with a reverent adoration in his eyes. It made me wonder...was Drew in love with her? Was that the whole reason for his undying loyalty? This whole situation was rather unfortunate really. If it hadn't been for Bones' death, the deserters would've been punished via Outlaw bylines. No one gets to leave the club without paying for it. But since Bones death was hanging over my head, my main priority had been to save what was left of the club and to save my own head from the legal punishmen

Maddy’s POV Julie pushed open a spare bedroom door for me. “Sweetie, are you sure you wanna do this? He’s your father! You can’t just move out of the house without talking to him about it first!” I slammed the bags I had hastily packed on the small, narrow bed in the guestroom. “He’s been lying to me ever since we got here. Just lies upon lies. He hasn’t told me the truth a single time. From the basic fact that he was actually a Pine Creeker to the big lie about his gambling. And now, I find out he’s implicated in the death of Miriam’s brother? I can’t even stand to look at him right now. I don’t want to talk to him. I am so disgusted by him!” Julie sighed. She folded her arms across her chest. “One thing you need to understand about this town is that… no one says ‘no’ to the Chadwicks. They are so influential, so central in this town that everyone wanted to be their friends. All the generations of Chadwick have been central to more traumas in this town than I can count and it all

~ Aston’s POV~ I tracked Maddy’s phone to the trailer park, my heart racing furiously as I pulled up. She was no longer answering my calls. I was worried something had gone horribly wrong. I could feel it. I could sense it. As soon as I got the park, I switched off the bike and started to run. For Mandy’s trailer. I was in such a hurry, I wasn’t even paying attention to the road ahead of me. Suddenly, something tripped me. I fell. Taking a closer look, I saw my legs entangled around a purse. I recognized that purse. It was Maddy’s purse. So, she was here. But why would she abandon her purse here? Her phone, too. I grabbed the purse and made a run for Mandy’s trailer. She wouldn’t dare hurt Maddy, right? The slashers or whatever they called themselves would never hurt Maddy. I don’t give a fuck what they do to Max. Their beef was with Max, not Maddy and as long as she was okay, Ryders would not have a problem with them! I banged on Mandy’s trailer door. It swung open

Maddy’s POVThe room was dark and smelt of blood. Max’s blood. I was covered in it. His head was on my thigh as I tried to steady him, to make him breathe. The sound of his grunts made my skin crawl.I was angry and afraid. Afraid that I would lose him, angry at Mandy for what she did to him.By the time they brought me here, Max had been thoroughly beaten to within an inch of his life. I could still hear them torturing him. His stifled screams terrified me. Mandy was screaming at him, asking questions about Bones’ death, convinced that Bones had been murdered.Max refused to admit to murder. And the more he resisted, the angrier Mandy got. They tortured him. Pulled his nails, pounded his face until it bloated.Now, he laid on the ground while I tried to keep him as steady as possible so he wouldn’t pass out again.The silence in the room was broken intermittently by Max’s groans. I listened out, waiting. Occasionally, I’d hear footsteps out there.In my mind, I was afraid we’d die ou
