Page 62 of Rage’s Rose

“Rage, you need–”

I cut him off with a glare before he can even finish the sentence he is about to say. I don’t know what Sophie actually knows about my childhood and I don’t know what she has told him, but she said the Sirens had files on all of us and our pasts.

“I do not need to have a fucking heart to heart with you right now, Lash. I need to get fucking answers. For me and for my fucking family. Now can you fucking understand that? I don’t need a fucking therapy session or for you to dig into shit you don’t need to dig into. Got it.”

I watch as he clenches his jaw and nods his head.

“Let’s fucking go.” I say before I turn and head out the door.

Devil

I watch as my son stalks away towards the carts and the four wheelers that we use to head to the Hole and anywhere around the compound property when we aren’t using our bikes. The way he is walking and the way he has been behaving since that shit came up on the screen. I know what that shit means. I know what could have happened in that room and the thought that some bitches could’ve fucking raped my son while he was vulnerable makes me want to rip their fucking throats out. I know that once we get the answers we need there will be nothing stopping Rage from killing anyone that created this problem for him and Rose.

But that voice deep inside of me, the voice that I try to ignore because I know Caleb and I know he is not going to talk to me about anything in regards to his past. He never has. I tried the first few years he was with me, but he resisted. He would shut down whenever I tried to talk to him about the nightmares and everything else that he was feeling. So I brought him to the Pitt and got him into MMA fighting in our underground fight ring. He might have been young, but the boy had so much anger and rage. He needed an outlet. Since everything has happened with meeting Rose, Missy passing away and now this, I’ve started to see his wall slipping. I saw it in him when he saw Missy lying on the ground in front of the clubhouse, it was what drove him to Rose that night.

I know there is so much more to his story than what the caseworker shared with me, but I could never get him to tell me. I don’t even know if that caseworker knew anything more. That boy had been abused by people in his life in so many ways. You can see it in the way that he talks about his lack of trust in women. How he felt wrong feeling safe with Rose. Everything slams into you when you watch your son react the way he did watching those women and that fucking asshole drag him into his room. What kills me is that those bitches were given an opportunity to do that because he was already spiralling.

I should’ve forced him to go to therapy. I should’ve been a better man for my son, but I didn’t know what the fuck to do and now we are seeing the fallout of me not getting him the help he needs. I just hope that he doesn’t hate me for that.

“Let’s go.” I hear Lash say.

I look at the rest of the brothers in this room and we all walk to hop on to a vehicle towards the answers I am fucking dreading.

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Rage

Arriving at the building where the Hole is held I notice that Slickback is standing very close to Nyx outside of the building. I notice that as soon as she sees me get off of the fourwheeler I took to get her she moves away from him. You can see his jaw tense and his fist clench as he moves them up to cross them against his chest.

“So we have Kitty in the room with Tiff right now. I turned on the cameras you guys have inside of there so if there is any chatting going on while we are out here we will know what they are talking about. I’m sure they are trying to get their stories straight and hell they might even let slip where the other bitches ran off too.”

I nod my head and then begin to tell her all the shit we found out from watching the security cameras of the times they claimed that I fucked them while drunk. Nyx looked livid and Slickback looked like he was ready to go in there and kill both bitches despite one of them being pregnant.

“Alright, well I know what we need to find out. Are you wanting to be in the room with me or are you going to just watch from the adjoining room. You know this would’ve been much easier if we brought them to the Sirens’ warehouse. I have all the goodies I need and there is extra space to watch through viewing windows.”

“Yeah, well we didn’t want to have to transport them. We are just really thankful that we have access to you guys if we need to deal with women instead of doing it ourselves. We hate that.”

Before the conversation continues the rest of my brothers arrive. I turn and look at the ones that are there and wonder why the hell they all came down here.

“Why are you all up here? We don’t need everybody here?”

“We didn’t want you to have to deal with this shit alone.” Wolf says.

I look at Lash and I’m sure he can tell from the look on my face that what is about to go down and the conversations we are about to have is not something that I need all these brothers hearing. He sighs and looks around.

“Alright, everybody head back to the clubhouse except for Bulldog and Devil.” He turns and gives me a look that says, ‘I dare you to question me.’. The rest of the brothers sigh and head back towards the clubhouse. “Now, is that better your majesty?”

I give him the finger, “Yeah thanks. I guess I can deal with you, my old man and Bulldog hearing all the fucked up shit that is about to come out of these two bitches. Have we heard from Doc yet about the DNA results?”

“No, but I did send a message to Whip to tell him to inform Rose’s father that we know who the likely stalker is and we are working on hunting him down.” Lash says.

“Thank you, I was going to do that, but I just wanted to get here and get more answers.”

“I get that, so don’t worry I took care of it. I also sent a text out to Terror to fill him in on what is going on. He gave me permission to take care of the situation as I see fit. Which I want these bitches to answer for what they did to you. I don’t think we are going to need full force of the MC to hunt down two stupid bitches and a fucking crazy cowboy from Texas. So once we get all the information we need, we are going to find and end that asshole so he is no longer a threat to your family. Wiz is also looking into Rose’s phone records to see if he can pull up any old text messages she deleted from unknown numbers. I told him to get in touch with Whip to see if he can talk to Finn Callahan because from what you said he is someone that she went to. So he might have more of the messages.”

I nod my head and look at Nyx, “Let’s go in there. We will observe you.”

I notice that Slickback has not left despite Lash telling everyone else to head back and I give him a questioning look. He’s not normally one to disobey a direct order from an officer.
