1 BLADE
“It’s over, brother. The Feral Kings have been disbanded. With the help of the Savage Brothers, the Devil’s Blaze, and their allies, it’s done. We’ve personally taken over the Feral Kings’ old clubhouse, and most of them are dead. You can finally get out of this hellhole and get your life back.”
“If you believe that, Hangman, I put the wrong man in charge all these years.”
“It’s not like that, Blade. I just meant you don’t have to go after Olivia. She didn’t help her brother kill Bear. She was his victim, too. We got evidence of that. We’ll kill them all, I promise you. I’m already working on it. My point is only that you can get out of here, breathe fresh air, and end this with their deaths. There’s no need of going further.”
“It’s not finished. It will never be completely finished until they are all dead, and I’ve made them feel the pain I’ve felt inside of me for over four years. I want them all to suffer, and that includes that fucker’s sister. She has the same blood inside her that is flowing in his veins. I want them all wiped off the face of this earth, just like my brother was. I want to watch their world crash around them. I want my hands wrapped around their throats when they take their last breath. I made a vow to Bear that I would make them pay, and by God, they will.”
“Do you really think Bear would want you to take this revenge out on an innocent girl? If you think that, you don’t remember your brother the way he was, Blade.”
“I remember Bear perfectly,” I growl. My hand trembles with the need to strike Hangman down. We might be as close as brothers, but he doesn’t know the rage inside me. He’s right, Bear wouldn’t want me hurting Olivia. He always had a soft spot for women, and that helped lead to his demise. Still, he didn’t see her that night I was captured. He didn’t hear her confession. I won’t kill Olivia, but she will suffer. I’ll destroy her in a much more painful way than death. She might not have helped her brother, but she distracted me that day. She was the reason I wasn’t there protecting Bear’s back. “If you and the club won’t support me, I’ll do this on my own,” I finally answer with a shrug. It’s not like I haven’t been on my own while in jail. I’ll get my revenge without help. I don’t really give a fuck.
“Don’t be stupid. You know this is your club. We’ll support you. We know what’s driving you, and we want the same. I just don’t think Olivia should be part of it.”
“That’s not your decision,” I respond, slightly relieved that my club still has my back. “I won’t be reporting back to the club for another month. I have other things to set up first. I get out Friday and I’ll be living at the resort. Have Layna get the crew to clean it and make sure it’s ready for me.”
I see the look on his face at the mention of Layna. She’s a mercenary bitch, but she does what I tell her to do. She also knows to stay in my graces because she likes money and power. Of course, the woman mistakenly thinks that means it will all be hers one day, but that will never happen. The last woman I let my guard down around cost me everything. Truthfully, I picked Layna because I knew it would be a slap in the face to Olivia. It will just be a minor hurt compared to what I will dish out to her, however.
“I’ll make sure it gets done,” he finally responds, clearly upset.
“Good. I’ll contact you once I get out Friday.”
“You don’t want one of us to pick you up?”
“I’ve had Eagle arrange for a car to pick me up and bring me to the resort. I’ll set up a meeting with you after I get some things set up.”
“You know, in case you need reminding, we’re not your employees, we’re your brothers, Blade. We’re family.”
Guilt hits me at once, but I push it away. “I have to do this. I can’t step back into my life until I do. Bear deserves to rest easy, and I’m going to make sure he gets to.”
