“Luca and Corinne are your . . . well, they will be your brother and sister,” I declare and wait for him to take in that information.
Horse blinks once, twice, then smiles. “Well, where are they so I can meet my siblings?” he asks, lifting a brow.
Clenching my teeth, I take a deep breath to calm down. Horse doesn’t need my anger thrown at him. “Long story and I don’t have time to explain. To sum it all up, they were kidnapped from the clubhouse, their momma is my ol’ lady and was beat to near death. All the shit happened while I was at a meet with the fucker who ordered this,” I growl.
“Then what are you doing here, Pops? What can I do to help?” That’s my son for ya. Lay a shit ton of information on him and he takes it in stride. Ready to take on anything I need him to do.
“Need some of Gadget’s toys. You need to stay here and keep your family safe,” I say.
“Pops, if it’s bad enough you came here to get shit from Gadget, you can’t expect me to not come with you,” Horse states as he turns and walks into the clubhouse. “Besides, Kenny would kick my ass if I didn’t go with you.”
“Are y’all still on lockdown?” I ask as I take in all the women and kids in the main room.
“Yeah, so they’ll be safe here at the clubhouse. Twister will make sure she’s good while I’m with you,” Horse declares.
“Stoney, what's going on?” Twister says as he steps up to us. I quickly explain what’s going on and he insists on sending Dragon and Gadget with us. Finding Rage sitting with Cleo at one of the tables, I nod in his direction, signaling for him to join us. This part is something he needs to know.
“Call Bear. I haven’t had a chance to yet. But you need to check on Momma B. She and my ol’ lady were attacked tonight. From what Nerd told me, they were beaten pretty bad,” I tell him.
“Fuck, alright. I’ll call and check on her in a few minutes. First, I want to know who the hell attacked my mom,” Rage demands.
“The Lucifer’s Heretics attacked with the help of Jackal,” I say.
“What the fuck? Seriously . . . Jackal?” Horse growls.
“Yep. Now, if you three are riding out with the four of us, then let’s get Gadget’s toys and get out of here. Time’s tickin’ and I need to get Luca and Corinne back,” I stress. I’m not in the mood to talk about shit.
“Prez, Rachel’s on the phone,” Shadow says, holding his phone out to me.
“Why didn’t she call my phone?” I ask only to get a shrug from him as I take the phone from him.
“Hey, Doll,” I say as soon as I put the phone to my ear. I ignore the inquisitive stares my brothers give me.
“Please, Stoney, please get them back.” Her pleading cry guts me.
“I’m working on getting them both now, Doll, swear to fuck I am,” I say soothingly.
“That man named Jackal, h–he said Torben had plans for Corinne once she got into his hands. He’s gonna sell her, I just know it, Stoney,” Rachel says as she tries to control the tears.
“Torben will be a dead man before the sun comes up, I can promise you that, same as I promise to bring our kids home,” I promise.
“Okay, I k–know we aren’t on good terms right now, but if you care about me at all, you’ll get them home,” she pleads.
“Rachel, I fuckin’ love you and I’m not giving you up, so get that shit running around in your head out. Yeah, we got things to deal with between us, but it’s going on the back burner for now. Got me?” I demand.
Silence fills the line for a long moment before she finally answers. “I get you, and love you too,” she whispers.
“Good. Now, I’ve gotta go, but I’ll let you know the moment I’ve got them both, okay?” I state.
“Okay, Stoney,” she sniffles.
Once she answers me, I disconnect, refusing to say goodbye or some shit like that. I’ll be back with my woman and fixing shit soon enough.
Handing Shadow his phone, I ignore the grins and jokes as I head for my bike. “If you’re coming, then hurry the fuck up,” I yell over my shoulder.
“Let Kenny know I’ll be back as soon as I can.” I hear Horse say.
“Got it. Watch your backs,” Twister calls out.
Throwing up my hand, I acknowledge him without turning around.
“Prez, your head on right?” Blaze asks.
“You know it,” I growl as I throw my leg over and straddle my bike. “Let’s ride.”
Torben better pray to all that’s holy because he’s about to meet his maker before the sun comes up.

Pain throbs throughout my entire body. With all those men who stormed in here, the guys didn’t stand a chance against them. I swore they were going to kill us, but they hadn’t. Instead, the one named Jackal beat Momma B until she went still. Then he’d turned his sights on me.
“I’m gonna take those two fuckin’ brats, bitch. You should never have taken Lucien’s son. And that cunt, we already had a buyer for her.” His words rattle around my head as I fought as hard as I could to stay conscious through the beating he’d rained down on me. Between the blows to my face and stomach to the kicks he’d given with his steel-toed boots.
I know my leg is broken and I’m sure I have a few broken ribs.
I was barely coherent when the men left. But they made sure to rain hell around the clubhouse, including raping a few of the clubwhores. God, I hope they didn’t get Tiny.
When Jackal's phone rang, he silenced all the men in the room and pointed a gun at me. “Keep your trap shut and I won’t
