What the fuck?
“I’m goin’ after my woman,” I declare.
“Agreed. Take Venom with you, the rest of us will go after the others. This shit ends here,” Stoney declares.
“What about Lavina?” Ranger asks.
“We’ll deal with her later. Right now, the task at hand is getting Parker to safety and whoever these other women are,” Stoney states.
I nod along with the rest of my brothers at this.
Pulling out my gun from my holster I’d put on before leaving the clubhouse. I take off in the direction I’d heard my woman’s screams.
On silent feet, I stay in the darkened corners of the building.
“Whatever, Parker, now shut up.” My blood boils at the way Chigger is speaking to my ol’ lady.
“No, I won’t shut up,” Parker yells and I’d be proud of her for sticking up for herself but right then wasn’t the best time. Chigger could easily pull the trigger on her.
“You fucking bitch. You want to fight me. Go ahead, see if you can get past me. I’ll kill you first. Fuck the money I could get with you. There’s dime a dozen women who are worth far more than you. Maybe I’ll take the other women who belong to those scumbags you want to be a whore to,” Chigger yells.
I glance to Venom as the two of us sneak up on the bastard since his back is to us.
Chigger takes a step toward my woman as she steps back. She’s cornered with nowhere to go since there’s only a wall right behind her.
“I’m not an object to be sold, nor am I a whore. I’m a person who only wanted to live her own life. Not to be dictated to by her brother,” Parker screams, from here I couldn’t see them, but I knew she had tears in her eyes.
Chigger goes to hit my woman and I move placing my gun to the side of his head. “Take another step toward my woman and see if I don’t put a bullet in your head right fuckin’ here,” I snarl.
I want to check on Parker when I hear her sigh in relief but first, I need to end this fucker’s life. I won’t allow this asshole to torment my woman or daughter any longer. I just don’t want to do it in front of her. “Turn around Chigger and face me,” I order.
“Cane, brother, we need to get your ol’ lady to a hospital,” Venom mutters. I hadn’t felt him pass by me but I’m consumed with vengeance in taking this fucker out.
“I know,” I grumble.
“No, brother, we need to get her there now,” Venom states urgently gaining my attention.
“Take care of Chigger, Cane. Venom and I will get her to the hospital. You join us after you finish here,” Raven says, seeming to have stepped out of the air. “Finish this for her. She needs to know she has nothing to fear and the only person who can do that is you, I’ll stay with her until you get there.”
I nod and glance to Parker. “I’ll be there as soon as we’re done here. Watch her,” I state looking to Venom.
“I’ve got her, brother. She’ll be okay,” he grumbles with a jerk of his chin. I focus on Chigger who I still have the gun aimed at his head. I wait for my brother to leave the hallway with my woman.
“You think she’ll be safe, you’re wrong,” Chigger chuckles.
“Why’s that asshole?” I demand.
“Because there are men who are willing to pay top dollar for her and several other women,” he informs me. “You can kill me but until they’re out of the picture those women will never be safe.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“People you don’t want to cross. People who will take you all down to get what they want.” My anger starts to get the best of me but I fight it back controlling my temper. I’ll get my answers first.
“Tell me who these people are,” I order, shoving the gun into his forehead.
“I don’t even know their names. They go through brokers since some of them like to have their women trained first.” Chigger shrugs with a grin.
“Why all the other women then?”
Chigger cackles. “Those women are for an auction and will also be auctioned off with Heavenly Rose in their system. Enough of it that the women will do just about anything to be fucked by their new owner.”
My stomach churns at this information.
I debate with myself in whether or not I should keep him alive or kill him now. I’m smart enough to hold off on killing him for now. I know what Raven said but the club needs to know what this motherfucker knows in order for us to protect the women who belong to us.
Mind made up, I pull the gun back and step away from him, though I keep my gun trained on his ass. “Walk,” I sneer, nodding my head in the direction I want him to go.
Chigger starts to walk but quickly turns on me slashing out with a knife, I jog back to stay out of reach and pull the trigger. He goes down in a heap at my feet, the knife slipping from his hand. “You won’t be able to save her next time,” the man says, blood pooling at the corner of his mouth.
“Watch me, asshole. Parker is my ol’ lady. Mine and I’ll fuckin’ do everything in my power to protect her. Even from the people you’re talking about. Unlike you I’ll be who she needs me to be. And I’ll love her for being who she wants to be,” I mutter, spitting in his face.
Stepping over him, I don’t bother waiting for him to take his last breath. I’d intended to keep him alive for
